STRIKE SITUATION
REMAINS UNCHANGED

The situation in the plumbers strike
remains unchanged. The. iourneymen
closed shop, and the master plumbers
are equally determined that their shops
shall be open. There are fifty odd
journeymen plumbers in the city, and
demands are acceded to, there will
probably be lot of work left tagging.
The following statement was given
to the master plumbers yesterday:
tee representing both sides entered into
an agreement to submit their differ
ences to board of arbitration. The
committees are also entered into il
verbal agreement that the union men
would return to work and would work
in shops with nom union men until the
arbitration hoard handed down it's de-
cision, at which time the non-union
men would be laid off. This statement
the master plumbers committee cannot
truthfully deny. After the decision OF
the arbitration board was announced
the representatives of the union call
ed on the master plumbers committee
and requested them to sign an agree
ment accepting the arbitrators' deci-
sion, and were informed that there
was no master plumbers association il
existence, and that they had no au
| thority to sign any papers"
This practically ignored the decision
| of the arbItrators. consequently the
| union decided that 1t would be neces

IMPORTANCE OF SANITATION
Speaker Shows That Public
Schools Are Important Factor
In Health Problem.

Dr. u. g. Levy spoke before the publio
school teachers OF the city Tuesday niyh,
at Central School on the Importance OF
intoxicating proper ideas OF health ana
sanitation IN the minds OF school chill
dren.
Or. Levy called attention to the fact
that few years ago medical papyrls
was discovered, known az the Eber's
papyrus, which dealt with nedica,
science OF period several thousand
years before Christ. a translation OF
the paper has been published In re-
cent number of the Journal of the
American Medical Association. The
paper gives list of the things that the
Egyptians knew about medicine, show

nized tho same things that we know

fantastic and absurd
Continuing, DR.. Levy said that the

twenty-five years ago, and has now OUT
stripped curative H1etHouE, SHOWING thaN
| tho methods of the future will be pre-
ventivc rather than curative.
"The profession knows enough about
preventive medicine now to revolution

| lack OF support OF governing bodies.
| DIR. Levy then called attention to three
points that made the public schools Inn

First--Anything which brings togethef

ton 10 ventilation, lighting and detec-
ton of contagious diseases as elements

Second-How the schools may help.
'arhere are In Richmond about 1850
i young people, one-sevcnth OF the popu-
! latlon who are under observation and
control, and In whom incipient disease
can be detected" The speaker called
1 attention to eye, ear and throat troubles,
\ malntItrition and tfte necessity OF more
efficient medical school inspection. The
school Board can enforce measures OF
sanitation and control that cannot ps
