 The water works plant is also badly crippled and the city would be at the mercy of a fire should one break out Corpses are piling up in the mortuar- les on account of the walk-out of the grave-diggers. Inmates from the poor farms have been set to work digging graves but they have proven far too incompetent. There is danger of an epidemic of disease owing to the filthy condition of the city. The streets are filtered with garbage and great heaps of refuse are piled everywhere. With in AS hours there will be acute suffer- ing for food unless the situation is re- HeVed.
 The perishab1e food supplies have all ready been exhausted. Already the city authorities are discussing the best means toward off-setting the suffering of the poor people. The strike com mittee have been promised by the railway employees that they will walk out Monday. This will accentua te ~the situation as the only hope of relieving the city is to bring in speedily large stores of food from the outside. The city stocks of food are practically de- plete6.
