Rid Sewers of Rats.
From the Baltimore American.


1t is timely to lay emphasis upon the
importance of having the new sewerage
system made ratproof. This may seem
to be ridiculous proposition upon it's
face, but it is just the kind of PROPOSE
tion that is vital to the protection of the
community from infection against which
householders are being earnestly eau
toned by the health authorities, to the
intent Of having the cellars of their
houses so closely cemented as to be rat
proof. and to have their drains so pro-
tected as to prevent the rodents from
entering them.
1t is out of the question to do any,
thing with the rat problem in connection
with the sewers as they are now. But
the great sewerage system might con-
ceiyably be made ratproof If all en-
frances and exits of these sewers wei e
made secure from the rOdents-a PROPOSE
tion that is at least deserving of care
full consideration
The magnificent Fallsway will cover in
part a big sewer that If made free from
the entrance Of rats would be free as
we'll from the dangers that these rodents
represent to the community. Ferrets
might be used to drive the rats out from
the sewers when completed, and they
might then be kept out by careful plumb
ing for all sewerage connections. At
any rate here is question that is
being taken up by modern communities.
and. IL successfully handled, will vastly
reduce the rat peril.

ITALY IS AN EXAMPLE

Country Has for Dozen Years

Experiments.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
ROME. August Is, 1912.
Italy has been for the last dozen years
good field for strike experiments. and
should be a salutary example for the
working classes in other countries. Tn
till the end Of the last century strikes. al
| though not contemplated by any article
of the penal code. were practically con-
sidered crimes. and were treated accord
| ingly. That was an exaggeration which
\ led to most unpleasant results.
| Signor Giolitti, the premier. with that
| common sense and balance of mind which
distinguishes him, changed all this, pro-
claiming entire liberty to strike on the
| part of the workmen. together. however.
| with the most energetic protection OF the
workmen who do not wish to join the
movement. He realized that the agita-
| ton fer better conditions for the workmen
cannot be suppressed, and that any at
tempt in this direction might have brought
about riots Of a revolutionary character.
The results he attained are most interest
ing. There was at first an absolute cpl
demic Of strikes. The workmen could
hardly believe in their new-found liberty.
and struck for any and every reason,
and. in some cases, for no reason at all.
Decline in Strikes.
| Strikes reached their climax in 1907
| after which year they gradually de-
| creased. as appears from the statistics
of last year just issued. in which the
greatest number of strikes, reaching 40
with 5000 strikers. occurred. in the build
| ing trade, followed by ninety-two strikes
| with 1000 strikers among navvies, anG
sixty-five strikes and $500 strikers in the
| brickfields.
1t must, however, be remembered tha
i these workmen only a relatively short
| time ago received in Italy wages rising
! from 25 to 80 cents day. which are nov
| doubled, and in some cases trebled.
| Taking the strikes as whole. over 3:
| per cent ended with the complete defea
| Of the strikers, and only about 10 pei
| cent with their complete victory, while
| the remainder were successful or unsuc
cessful in varying degrees. In these
strikes the employees lost 2.95S,OO0 days
work, besides 81, 700 days work lost b,
| trades dependent on the strikers, making
| a total in wages of $2,0O0,OOO.
