Sanitoria for the Poor
tuberculosis Victims
Absolutely Necessary
State Must Preserve the Pub
lie Health, Says Charles
ton doctor.

Relative to his views on the duty
OF the state to establish sanatoria for
the treatment Of poor consumptives,
Mr.. G. A. MacQueen, of Charleston,
says: .S
Every civilized community recog-
nizes that it.is fhe daty' Of the gov
eminent tos prot ct the citizens from
communicable diseases that have
been proven to be a menace to pub
lie health and to the fafety of the
individual.
West Virginia has enacted legis-
latioh that provides for the enforce
ment of the law for violation by any
persons suffering from certain dis
eases known TO be dangerous to the
public welfare.
The state has seen fit to erect and
support institutions for the care Of
the INDECENT insane, the feeble mind
ed, the epileptics, and for degener-
ates of various types.
This state is also maintaining
three. general hospitals for the min
ers OF our state; besides appropria-
tons to various state hospitals
which open their doors to the poor
suffering from typhoid, pneumonia,
and numerous other acute and enron
ic diseases.
Up to the present time. however
no appropriations has been made by
the state for the purpose OF caring
for the treatment Of those suffering
from consumption. The largest indi-
vidual class of sick persons requir-
ing assistance.
Every hospital in the state TO my
knowledge that receives state assist
ance, and In return supports state
beds for the sick poor, closes its
doors to the unfortunate victim of
pulmonary tuberculosis,
81 wish to call your attention to
the fact that there is no institution
in this state where the hundreds Of
poor worthy consumtpives can find
the proper place for treatment; or a
comfortable refuge in which to die.
Left alone, deprived of the aid so
readily bestowed upon other sick,
and thrown upon their own too scan
lty resources those poor sufferers go
to crowd the over-congested aims
houses; or else they die in their own
home, amid Understandable surround
ings forming additional foci for the
spread of this dreaded disease, until
/ they breathe their last
Pulmonary tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, is now regarded as dan
gerous communicable disease; which
causes more deaths in West Virginia
per annum than any other three of
the most fatal diseases for which our
government has made provisions.
tuberculosis being communicable
and to a large extent preventable, it
would therefore seem fitting for the
state to adopt proper measures for its
restrictions. And an indispensable
one of those proper measures is to
provide a sanitarium or sanatoria,
where those persons can go. who can
not otherwise be cared for"

DEMAND WELL SUPPLIED.
Skilled Laborers Should Keep Away
From Canal Zone.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Reductions
in force are being made by the 18th
mian canal commission in the divi-
sions of building construction and
that of mechanics, also in the clerical
force on the isthmus. Notwithstand-
ing these facts there has been a con-
siderable number of unemployed me-
chanics and clerks migrating to the
isthmus recently as a result of the
commercial depression in the United
States, but their chances of securing
employment are remote. The com
mission is anxious that prominence be
given these facts, as any vacancies
that may have to be filled are given
to former employees who have not
left the isthmus. Americans who do
come, however, and fail to secure
work with the commission can seldom
find other employment, as the vol
ume of other business is not large
and the local supply of skilled labor
is amply sufficient to meet all de-
mands

The decision further asserted that
the Union Pacific and the Illinois Cen
trail are not competing but connecting
lines and that the Union Pacific un-
der it's charter and the laws Of Utah
has clear right to own shares of
stock of Illinois Central, which it pur-
chased in 1906, and that it has the
essential right TO vote that stock at
meetings of the stockholders of the
Illinois Central

ALLEGE SHORTAGE OF MEN
Railroads Ask Application of Nine
Hour Law Sc Pos poned.

Washington, Feb. plaza proposi-
tion very serious to many thousands
of people residing at and in the vicin-
ity of small railroad stations through
out the country is presented to the
interstate commerce commission in an
informal petition in which the Wa
bash Railroad company and others
ask for an extension Of the time of
the going into effect of The nine-heur
ployes who have the direction of
movements of trains It is declared
in the petition that unless the order
II extension is made. either by the
commission or by congress, the only
alternative will be the closing of a
large number of stations on the yari-
Gus roads. This action, ii is recog-
nized will impair the efficiency of the
service and result in rablic incon-
venience and interfere with the
prompt movement of trains, but the
officials assert that they see no way
out of the difficulty into which they
will be plunged by the operation of
the law.
1t is pointed out in the petition that
in order to comply with the provisions
of the law the Wabash company alone
would have to employ an additional
telegraph operator at each of the 245
stations on its line Thus far the
company says that it has not been
able to secure the services of efficient
and competent operators in such num-
bers as will enable it to comply with

NELL TO INVESTIGATE
Labor Commissioner Ordered to
St. Paul by the President.
WAGES OF RAILROAD MEN

Government Official Will Confer With
Receivers of the Chicago Great
Western Relative to Present Condi-
tion of That System.
Washington, Feb. 21.-Labor Com
missioner Charles p. Neill has left
Washington for st. Paul, where he
will confer with officials of the Chi
cago Great Western road relative to a
proposed reduction in wage scale to
its employees
Commissioner Neill goes by direc-
tion of the president, who is deter
mined to ascertain the exact situa-
tion concerning the proposed wage
reduction by several systems. The
president thinks that some one is mis-
repres enting the situation relative to
present conditions. 1t has been
claimed that the Hepburn rate act
has not reduced rates but increased
them and that there is more business
waiting for many roads than there are
cars to handle it.
The Chicago Great Western was the
first to give notice of reduction of
wages, the line being in the hands of
a receiver, and the receivers have
asked for a conference with employees
of the road March 8.
The Louisville and Nashville and
other lines also propose reductions.
Labor organizations have protested
against this proposed cut and made
an appeal to the arbitration provisions
of the Erdman act at the first move
of the railroads to reduce wages in
the hope that a check may be admin
istered.
The fear of the railroad employees
that the roads are preparing for a big
cut all down the line was first brought
to the attention of President Reose
welt and the interstate commerce
commission by w. S. Stone, grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. He said the employees
have reason to believe general reduc-
tions covering the whole country are
being planned. The arbitrators un.
der the Erdman act are Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission and Commissioner of La.
Dor Neill.

HARTMAN WINS OUT
Giyen Decision Against Fish in
Illinois Central Litigation.
INJUNCTION Is DISSOLVED
Stock Held by the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company and the Railroad Sc
curities Company Van BE Voted at
Directors Meeting.

Chicago, Feb 21.-E H. Hartman
gained complete victory in the Hi
nois Central litigation which has been
in the superior court since last Octo-
Der. Judge Ball rendered a decision
dissolving the temporary injunction
granted to Stuyvesant Fish by which
2S6,231 shares of stock were enjoined
from being voted at the annual meet
ing of the Illinois Central Railroad
company. This stock, which was
held by the Union Pacific Railroad
company and the Railroad Securities
company of New Jersey can now be
voted at the annual meeting which
will be held in this city March g. The
decision of Judge Ball was quite ex-
tended, amounting to about 10000
words. He says, in part:
''No act preiudieial to the Illinois
Central or 10 its stockholders is
shown to have been done unless the
mere fact that the Union Pacific and
the Railroad Securities company own
20 per cent of the stock of the Illinois
Central be considered to be so. Since
the retirement of Mr.. Fish from the
presidency the policy of the company
has been the same and it's executive
officers, with one exception caused by
death, have remained the same from
that day to this.
The relations between the Union
Pacific and the Illinois Central are
now what they were when Mr. Fish
was in power and assisted in shaping
and consented to such relations. Nor
Is any change intended, IL the affida-
Wits of well known and reputable men
be considered as true. The bill, how
ever, charges many things which may
happen to the detriment of the Illi
nois Central and its stockholders If
the Union Pacific and the Securities
company be permitted to vote at such
meeting; but no facts are alleged or
proved which even tend to bring about
such results. Courts of equity act on
facts alleged and proved and not on
fears or supposed prophesies. If it
were not for the fact that the name of
Hartman is a name TO conjure with
these allegations would not be taken
SO seriously.
Charges Not in Concrete Form.
There are many things stated in
the bill as to the intention of, the de-
PENDANTS which, II put in force, or
even attempted to be put in force,
would call upon the court to inter
vene; but diligent search of this
record fails to show that such things
exist In any concrete form"
The court then entered upon a long
discussion of various statutes regard
ing the holding of stock by corpora
tions in other corporations, declaring
finally that such holdings are not pro-
hibited nor opposed to public policy.
He then said:
"Ths right OF the Railroad Securi-
ties company to vote its Illinois Cen
