Disease Attacks Nava los.

Standardization has been q detri.
ment to the Navajo Indians, accordins
to J. H. Murray OF Aztec, New Mex.
leo Owing to their being persuaded
by the pale face" to live in houses, he
lays. tuberculosis has grasped the
tribe in its bony fingers and the death
rate increases each year.
Mr.. Murray. who was at the Colum-
bia hotel last night. has lived in close
proximity to the Navajo reservation
for the last twelve years and has seen
the great braves of this, one Of the
most artistic tribes, transplant their
families from the wigwam houses OF
wood and adobe. He says most POSI-
lively that the new life does not agree
with them.
Tuberculosis has become so preva.
lent In the Navajo tribe" he said.
that the death rate is enormous.
They have lived SO close to the white
man that they have adopted his ways.
They are no longer free and easy in
habitants of the open. Living as they
They are too congested, and while
they will live in the white mans
dwelling they will not live with tho
white mans cleanliness and regard to
space. The ventilation in their
houses is bad and no attention Is paid
to sanitary conditions.
1T is my honest opinion that II the
Navajos do not become more civilized
or else more uncivilized, the tribe will
soon be extinct
Mr.. Murray is a ranchman but has
mining interests near Boulder, which
explains his presence in the state
Denver Republican.

Tanning is to be put on a strictly

Popp and Heinrich Becker, found thai
about fifty kinds Of bacteria were pres

leather. They isolated them and ex

accomplished. Thus they discovered
the kinds which were particularly use
full in the making Of good leather, and
by cultivating and multiplying them

IN LABOR CIRCLES
ODD

Some of the Washington painters are said
10 De up IN arms because of report that
the Post Office Department intends to trans
form for the nonce its thousands of rural
mail carriers into amateur painters. 1t is
said the department has reached the con-
clusion that the $1,000 rural letter boxes In
the United States should have a uniform
color, and the shade decided upon is green
1t has also been decided so it is stated. that
the boxes shall be painted by the rural car
riers, each man painting all the mail recep-
tacles on his particular route. For this work
they Will be allowed SO much per box, the
green paint to be furnished by Uncle Sam
That proposition Is worse than the open
shop declared a local painter last night
''Scab workmen do make some pretense of
being painters and have served time at the
trade, as rule but the rural letteI carriers
know anything at all about applying paint.
The whole matter will resolve itself into a
big daub or botch job
What would you suggest in the matter?'
asked a Star reporter
THAT competent painters be employed in
the several portions of the United States to
do the work. and | will guarantee 1t will be
accomplished more expeditiously and just
as cheaply as the rural mail carriers can do
it, AS to the quality of the work between
the two plans. why there would be no COM
parison.
When asked What action, If any the
painters union VIII take in the matter, the
speaker said he would not prophesy but he
believed the subject would be brought be-
fore the next meeting of the organizat ton
The strike of the journeymen horseshoers
for an advance of pay to $3.50 a day has
been IN progress for some time, and il is
now said there are signs that an amcable
agreement will soon be reached between the
master workmen, or employers, and the
union. 1t is also said that but few OF the
employers are still holding out against the
demands of the workmen. and when these
confer with an adjustment committee APP
pointed at the last meeting of the Central
Labor Union an agreement will be reached
and the strike Will be declared of.
There Is some talk of the recently formed
Night Watchmen's Beneficial and Project
i've Association of Washington making an
effort to affiliate with the Central Labor
body. local labor leader said in this
his mind as to whether this could be ac-
complished.
For" said he. "there Is a proviso some
where as well as an unwritten law In or
ganized labor bodies against the admit
lance to membership of sworn officers of
the government. and understand the right
watchmen are, in fact, an auxiliary police
force, that each Waterman Is required to
take an oath similar to that administered
to regular metropolitan policemen and that
they are, In fact. special policemen. How
ever. personally, would like to see them
join forces with us. I believe 1t would be
helpful to them, as well as to the central
body

The wage conference between representa-

as easily as in former years. owing to the
Introduction during the year of the Owens

The carpenters local Of Washington has
received from the general executive board
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers the following warning:
Again we are called upon to use our In
fuence to stop the letter-begsing system
organizations. From reports made to this
Office IL is quite evident that when local
union gets into a difficulty of any kind lhe
first thing done is to send out appeals for
financial aid. This practice has reached
such alarming proportions that it is time
something should be done to put a stop To
1t. The matter has been considered several
times by our general executive board and
instructions have been issued by that body
for the guidance of our local unions and
district councils. and yet We ale asked al
our local unions what to do when requests
are made upon them for financial aid by
sister organizations
AS far back as October A. 1890. the general
executive board rendered a decision as fol-
lows:
''All local unions are hereby ordered not
to circulate any appeal or circular asking
financial aid unless by the approval of the
general executive board, attested by the
general secretary.
Again, in July. 1903. the general secretary
called the attention of the board to the fact
that thousands of circulars appealing for
aid were going the rounds of our local
unions and that many complaints were
lodged with the general Office against such
action. After thorough investigation the
board again rendered a decision, which Is
az follows:
''All local unions are hereby instructed
not to pay any attention to circular letters
from other organizations asking for finan-
cial aid unless the consent and Endorsement
of the general Offices of the united brother
hood has been obtained By the organiza-
lions Issuing them
Under these provisions all local unions
and district councils are herewith instruct
ca to pay no attention = begxdng letter.
