1t is a shocking thought that the
wage-earners of the country, who by
their daily toll make possible the in

The interests of labor are the interests
of all the people, and the protection

his life and health by every practicable
means is one of the most sacred trusts
OF society"

Poisoning from Sewers.
This leads many TO think these birds are
dying from poisoning. Many think it is
the sewer which empties into the Jordan
river near the place where the birds are
dying that is causing the trouble. Still
others say the sewer has emptied there
for years and there has never been any
trouble before and that the ducksi in
thing was wrong and they would at once
leave the spot.
The smelteT smoke theory is not accept
ed by many. as the place is too far away
from the smelters to be affected from this
cause.
The TWO theories which are the most
generally, accepted are that some disease
unknown TO the spOrtsmen has become an
epidemic among the birds. or that the
ducks are dying from copper or arsenic
poisoning coming from the Smelters and
mines farther uD the valley
