National Affairs: Out of Danger

Mr. Gompers, who has been ill for a week in New York with influenza and pneumonia, further complicated by uraemia, was reported by his physicians to be out of danger.

During the crisis in his illness, Mr. Gompers was in a partial delirium, muttering incoherent phrases about labor conferences and meetings with government officials. The doctors had some difficulty in persuading the patient to remain in bed, since he declared himself fit enough for regular work.
