As soon as the re- port was received it was resolved by the union here that the company was mourning a needless expense as no vio- Ience of any kind would be offered.
 We are not joined together for the purpose of creating disorder" sad w. N. Miller. in discussing the strike sit uation to the men, Our organization stands for something higher and no- bIer All we want is what we think is right and just and I am sure we will not resort to any but fair means to ob- tain that end

richmond as shall presently appear.
They found that the years 1903. 1904 and
1905 showed a marked decrease over pre-
vious years. and the conclusion is ire
sisuble that this was due to the fact
that in 1905 the raw water Of the liver
was turned into settling basins and allow
Cd 20 schside before using. The analysis
shows that removal OF more than 90
per cent OF the bacteria has actually been
cnectcd by storage. This" says Pro-
fessor Sedgwick. sis certainly a creditabIe
showing for an old and familiar process
OF publication, and have no doubt that
this extensive publication Of tho Potomac
water before it is applied TO the nlters is
the solution of some OF the most difficult
riddles of the Washington problem
There was further removal by the
hitter plant so that the water as il pass
ed into the mains was practically free
from bacteria.
1t would appear. therefore" says
Professor Sedgwlcb, in conclusion that
it was probably this purlfyne ef-
feet cor the settling BASIN OF stor-
age or settling which caused the
sudden drop in typhoid lever mortality
IN the District OF Columbia since 1898;
HAA nave no 0ouDL AhaIs luaSfuuCh as

even moro effective purifying agency than
settling, II 1t had happened that the
Washington litter had been put into oper-
alton at the end of 1893 instead Of 1855.
other things remaining as they then were.
tho decline OF TYPHOID fever mortality
which has taken place since that time
would have been equally marked and
properly attributed to the operation OF
the hltor."
The significance Of this statement is
most encouraging to Richmond. 1t prom
ises that our settling basin alone win
practically free our water supply from
bacteria In fact. Superintendent Boiling
has been making experiments with minia-
ture settling basins, and Or. Levy's an
alysis shows a removal OF 20 and even
sS per cent of bacteria from sedimen-
taton. But what IS the inference so far
as Washington is concerned? Simply that
the fever now prevalent is due to sources
other than the water supply.
