Rat. catchsrs in HonskOns.

The extraordinary measures that
have been taken to stamp out bubonic
plague in San Francisco are more than
duplicated in Hong Kong, where this
scourge has been problem almost
from time immemorial. II the situa-
ton were less serious, the experience
of the British governor of Hong Kong
in this connection would be very
amusing. He has made report to
his government, in which he tells Of
the bounty paid In that city for the
captue of rats These animals, as
everybody knows, are responsible In
large measure for the persistence of
bubonic plague, and strenuous efforts
have been made to get rid Of the rats
and at he same time to trace the in
fection to it's source,
In Hong Kong the authorities pay
bounty of five cents for every one
brought to the health office, 1t is re-
quired that the location of the house
In which the rats are caught shall be
given in each case, for it is through
ARCHAEOLOGICAL examination of the
animals that the authorities try to To-
cate the source Of the plague Infection
II an infected rat is caught, the health
officer Immediately proceeds to the
house where the animal came from and
disinfect the premises, Now, Chinese
residents do not like to have their
houses disinfected, and the bounty
system has led TO collision between the
householders and the rat-catchers in
some cases,and to the persecution Of
the householders by rat-catchers in
other cases Moreover, the governor

OF Hong Kong finds that rats are be-
ing imported into the city from other
Chinese cities and towns. the bounty
OF five cents well repaying the rat
catchers for their trouble
A tag is always attached to each Of
these imported rats, but It always
gives some house in Hong Kong as the
place where the rat was caught. Then
some poor Chinaman receives a visit
from the health officers and submits to
having his dwelling disinfected.

Plttsburg. May 17.--The national
convention OF the National Manufac-
turers Association convened here at .
o'clock this morning. A full quota OF
delegates are present and the conven-
tion IN very enthusiastic.
In his annual address. President
Parry briefly discussed the labor prob
lem. which he declared was at present
the paramount question before the as
sociatIon. In reviewing the labor events
OF the past year, he said,
There are many indications which
go TO show that organized labor is
learning very valuable lesson In
economics and law observance and
hopes can be reasonably entertained
that the strikes which have character
lied the last year win be less strenu-
GUS in the future.
'In regard to the National Associa-
ton OF Manufacturers, / am positive
that any crusade having for Its object
the grinding down Of labor would meet
the determined opposition of practical
ly the entire membership. The policy
OF this association is primarily one OF
peace. II we stand for anything we
stand for the development Of American
industry. 1t Is obvious that men viii

ductive enterprises II II means con-
stant struggle with labor unions and
II frequent strikes tend to destroy trade
BY making uncertain the filing Of con-
tracts Industrial strife adds a hazard
TO investments involving the employ
ment Of labor which cannot fail to be
injurious to Industrial development,
thus causing permanent loss to all
classes Therefore, our policy is one
which looks TO the maintenance Of peace
and not to the adoption of measures
that will arouse hostiIlties"
Speaking OF the closed shop. Mr..
Parry said:
"The closed shop is against public
policy and is OF doubtful legality. The
liberty Of the individual would be inn
possible IL he is debarred from the right
to contract for his services because he
does not belong to union. believe
that this truth will become generally
recognized and that the day must come
when no industry will be allowed to
run on the closed shop plan"
In closing. Mr.. Parry announced that
the association had gained thousand
members in the last year, bringing the
total membership up to 5000, and was
in better financial condition than ever
before.
