Harrisburg. Pa, May l5.-When
President TAFT arrived here to ad.
dress the convention Of railway train
men, he was greeted at the station
by Governor Tener of Pennsylvania
and committee from the Brother
hood Of Railway Tralnmen. As he
stepped from his car the president
with a badge Of membership in the
general lodge Of the brotherhood and
a gold badge of membership OF the
local lodge
The president declared his belief in
labor unions and admitted their legal
right TO strike. but stamped az illegal
and wrong their use of the indirect
boycott involving disinterested
third party. He praised particularly
the work of the railroad unions in
securing better laws for safety appli-
ances and methods.
The president then addressed the
convention on union organization by
government employees. lie conceded
their right TO organize. but opposed
their aifiliation with private labor or
gani2atious through the American
Federation of Labor. and said
strike instituted under such condl-
tions might be considered in the ma
ture OF revolution.

PETITION.

Special to the Journal.

Tallahassee, Oct. 14.-In last Sun
days Pensacola Journal there appeared
an editorial enumerating the things
that the Commercial Association could
do for the betterment and improve
ment of Pensacola. Among the most
important steps recommended to be
taken by the association was that look
ing toward the Improvement of the
passenger depot of the l. e. N. rail-
road at that place.
The railroad commission was inter
viewed and asked why they had not
taken some action to compel the L. &
y. to improve their passenger facili-
ties at Pensacola They stated that
for the simple reason that no official
complaint had ever come from Pensa-
cola in regard to the matter. That II
a petition had been filed with them
asking for improvement of the Pen
sacola passenger depot. they would
have taken prompt action, and served
notice on the l. & ~. Railroad Com
pany to show cause Why an order
should not be made compelling the
erection OF a suitable depot. The law
gives the commissioners authority to
take the initiative in such matters, but
1t has been their policy to take them
up only upon complaint from citizens
or patrons interested.
The commissioners intimated that II
Pensacola would get busy and send in
petition asking for the improvements

WAGE WAR To
ABOLISH THE
DRINKING CUP
IT WILL BE DECLARED AT THE
FIRST FLORIDA CONFERENCE
ON CHARITIES AND coRREc-
TIoNs TO BE HELD HERE NOV.
16 TO is.
Special 70 The journal

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct 14.-War on
the public drinking cup in Florida will
probably be declared at the first Flor
ida conference on charities and correc-
tions to be held here November 1918
Plans to this end are being made, and
IL is probable that the state railroad
commission, municipal authorities,
public and private school boards and
other governing bodies of public insti-
buttons will be memorialized on the
adjustment Of the public drinking cup.
The Associated Charities here has
already sounded the slogan in Jack
sonvflle. The city health board has
been requested to act, and the local
Y. NJ. c. A, has also been requested to
dispense with the public drinking cup
at its fountains It is planned to have
the state organization which is to be
formed here carry the agitation into
every hamlet In Florida
Pensacola is the first city in the state
to take steps towards abolishing the
public drinking cup, and many favor
able expressions have been heard on
the action taken there. The public
drinking cup is regarded by scientists
as one Of the greatest OF modern men
aces to health, particularly in warm
climates which attract a large number
of sufferers from tubercular troubles
The attention of local authorities
has been called TO the experiments
College, in which ten boys were re-
CURED to apply their lips 10 clean
strips Of smooth glass Just as they
would in drinking from a cup. These
glass slips. subjected to microscopic
examination, showed an average OF 100
human cells, or bits Of skin, and 5000
live bacteria 10 each strip. This was
with only one application TO the lip
A drinking cup which had been
used at a high school fountain for
several months without being washed
was lined inside with a brownish de-
posit Microscopic examination re-
vealed thousands OF bits Of skin and
millions Of live bacteria, including
many germs Of tuberculosis. Some II
the sediment taken fro. the cup in
| jected under the skin Of a healthy
guinea pig caused It's death within IS
hours. Post norton examination dem
onstrated that the animal died Of blood
! poison from the germs OF pneumonia
contained within the sediment
The public drinking cup in railroad
stations and on trains IS regarded as
| equally, or more, dangerous than at
the public schools. The railroad com
mission will be asked to issue an or
der sbolishing II on trains and in wait
| ing rooms.
Many other interesting topics Will be
! brought before the conference.-the OF
them affecting some particular phase
| OF social usages and conditions or pub
| lie health. Wide interest in the gath
ering has been manifested in all parts
Of the state, and letters OF commenda-
| ton are pouring into the ofhces Of ten
officers. Several boards OF county
