Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE police
have begun making wholesale arrests
of the pickets of the striking shirt
waist makers union, using the same
tactics that the cops of New York
have been using against the waist
strikers in that city in the hope of
breaking the strike. Many pickets
are arrested each day on various tech
nical charges.
Director Of Public Safety Clay and
the police are harrassing the strikers
in many ways. Two of the striking
girls were arrested yesterday here,
and three who went to Camden to try
to persuade some Of the girls who
have not Joined the strike to come
out were arrested by the Camden
police.
J. A. Dysche, secretary of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, who has come to assist in di-
recting the strike, takes very hope
full view of the situation. Dyche be-
lieves that the workers here will win
their fight soon.
Babes Help as Pickets.
The members of the Markers and
Cleaners union, who are officially
fourteen years of age" are doing ex-

meeting with great success in persu-
aiding their elder sisters to leave the
shops and join the ranks of the
strikers.
Arrangements are being made for
mass meeting in the Academy OF
Music, at which it is expected that
John Mitchell will be one of the
speakers.
All shops are thoroughly picketed.
More than 1000 pickets are out daily
under the able leadership Of Isaac

The season of navigation for 1909
was the most disastrous in the history
Of the Great Lakes.
One hundred and twenty-one lives
lost, so vessels sunk and millions Of
dollars worth of property destroyed
constitute the frightful toll that has
been paid during the year.
There have been some great disas-
ters, like the burning of the Erie
Belle" many years ago, when the loss

but old sailors can recall no year in
which so many seamen have perished.
For it was during this season that
the Lake Carriers Association put in
to effect it's policy of driving the COM
:petent and experienced union men Oft
it's ships and replacing them with
landsmen who were employed as
deckhands, Watchmen, firemen and
cooks, many of them boys who ought
to have been in school.
And. what seamen were employed
were the offscouring Of the profession
in the lake cities-men who could not
hope to hold a responsible place dur
ing normal times and who would not
be, considered if they were not needed
to take the place of competent men.
Many Well known Boats Lost.
Among the ships lost were the fol-
lowing: Marquette & Bessemer Car
Ferry, 38 lives lost; steamer Clarion,
Is lives lost; steamer Richardson, 5
lives lost; steamer John B. Cowle, IA
lives lost; steamer Eber Ward, barge

The record for this year compared

usually bad season, is as follows:

Attention during the past fall was
repeatedly drawn to the fact that the
shipping adjunct to the Steel Trust
the Lake Carriers Association-was
employing young boys who knew
nothing of seafaring, to do the deck
work and to act as coal passers in the
fire hold.
But the Lake Carriers Association
has been equally remiss in other and
more important departments of the
ships crews, especially in the engin-
eers' department where the shipping
trust was trying to introduce non
union men. the same IS in the case
of the, fremen and deck crews The
facts given here are taken largely
from officia- records.

Says So in Annual / Report,
Which Urges Additional. sLaws

SAYS DAIRY PRODUCTS !. ;.
SHOULD BE.IN8PECTED
Danger of Conveying Disease is
Greater in Latter Cemmodi dities
Than in Meat as They are Used
in Raw State. .=t,355 5.=.., -

Washington, Jan. MA sensation
has been caused here by the statement
contained in the annual report of DR..
A. D. Melvin that almost half the meat
in the United States IS uninspected.
DR.. Melvin is chief Of the bureau
of animal industry I'M the department
of agriculture and In his annual
statement says that the federal meat
inspection law which, applies only to
products entering interstate trade has
proved effective, but she says there is
a real and serious danger to the public
from uninspected meat and almost
half of the meat consumed in the
United States comes within that class.
DIR. Melvin declares that; unin-
spected meat is sold within states and
municipalities and that the federal
government therefore has no juris-
diction over it. He Continues: ''The
federal authority does not reach the
business done entirely within a state
and the people must pok to their sta
tion and local authpfities% to- protect
them against the danger from that
source. d, - -
=. Drives Bad Meat Elsewhere.
One result of the federal inspection
is to cause the diverting of. diseased
and suspicious looking animals to the
uninspected establishments where
they are slaughtered forsthe local
market. $N ~. ~.s~'G
Many cities have anNinspection serv-,
ice, but very. few have an adequate
force and the inspection often con
sists merely in REORGANIZATION Of
meat as offered; for sale in the mar
kets when 1t is usually impossible to
detect disease, the evidence OF sMhieh
may have heen renlQf led with the
Tviscera Sorgans..s Il An itary
conditions are very bad atsuninspected
slaughter houses In order to- pro-
/: vide real protection against diseased
or unwholesome meat a competent
veterinary and sanitary inspection at
the time of slaughter is necessary,
says the report.
Urges Dairy Inspection.
DR.. Melvin strongly urges federal
inspection of dairy products. and the
animals from which they are obtained.
He asserts that the danger of con-
tracting disease from such products is
greater than from meat ''since milk,
cream and butter are almost uni
versally used and are usually con-
sumed In the raw state" =,
He continues: "Scientific expert
ments by the bureau and by. other in
vestigators have demonstrated that the
