There's going to be war in Spokane.

other. Both sides are ready to de-

fore the trades councils to fight their
cases.
A meeting of the opposing forces
was held in the editorial rooms of
The Press this morning, but, owing to
the opposite stands taken, no agree
ment could be reached
Mixed up in the fight are the trust
laundries, which are evidently using
the union drivers to maintain the
trust prices and to bring about the
boycott of the c. o. d. laundry, which
is ready to join the union providing,
as an independent concern, it can
make it's own prices for work done,
which are lower than the trust prices.
The trouble arose over the state
ment of Secretary Hotter of the
Laundry Workers union that the c.
o. d. was not a union laundry.
Manager Ladely declared that his
intention was to join the union with
his employees, but that the union
would not accept him or his employees
until he consented to raise his prices
to the trust scale for work done.

MATTRESS MAKING is
MENACE TO HEALTH

Information was received at the
health office yesterday that the Car
men Manufacturing company was us
ing, in the manufacture of mat
tresses. old clothes, rags and shoddy
without disinfecting the material.
Commissioner ONO, who is taking
lively interest in the public health,
accompanied Or. Genoway to the mat
tress factory of the Carmen company
on the Big island.
The officials found the information
received At the office was correct
They personally observed the manu-
facture of mattresses from second
hand material not disinfected
Notice was at once served on the
mattress company to install proper
disinfecting plant to be approved by
the health department. and to thor
oughly cleanse and disinfect all old
material before II is used in the man
ufacture of mattresses.
The manager of the Carmen fac
tory appeared before the health Of
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-01-26

fieer today and stated that If he Is
compelled to install the disinfecting
plant he can not meet competition.
He states that factories in Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle are making mat
tresses from rags and other old ma
terial not disinfected and shipping
them to Spokane. The work of dis
injecting will add greatly to the cost
of production and the manager claim
ed he would be driven out of BUSH
ness If he complied with the order.
After a long consultation, in which
Commissioner Omo's counsel was OF
material assistance, II was determine
ed to ask the city council for the
passage of an ordinance forbidding
the sale of mattresses In Spokane
which have been made from material
not disinfeeted.
This must inevitably lead to SINH
lar ordinances in other cities and will
result in great benefit to the public.
The careless acts of the mattress
manufacturers are q constant menace
to public health.
