AS To Play
By A PHYSICIAN.

By A PHYSICIAN.
For three years the Chicago health
department has been looking for the
influenza bacillus. examining about
100000 samples of sputum a year,
and not one has been found TO con-
tain the grip" bacillus. The con
clusion Is that there really hasn't
been any grip In Chicago for 20
years-not since the great epidemic
Of 1912.
The fact is la grippe is true
epidemic, and when il comes Il
spreads. What people call grip
these days is cold caused by one
or the other of several different
bacteria.

UNEMPLOYED FLOCK WESTWARD
Supervisors of Frisco Pass Resolutions
to Warn People to Stay Away.

Recently the San Francisco board of
supervisors found it advisable to adopt
the following resolution, and did SO:
Whereas, There are at present in San
Francisco a large number of unemployed
men and women, many of whom have
been lured hither by false and mislead-
ing reports and advertisements published
throughout the country, representing
that there exists a demand for labor in
connection with the Exposition; and
Whereas, This condition operates in
juriously to the interests of our citizens,
and will, unless corrected, prove seri-
GUS detriment to the city; therefore, be 1t
Resolved That in the judgment Of
this board the labor forces now available
at moments notice are more than s,lf-
ficient to meet any possible demand now
or for considerable time to come, and
we would therefore warn all persons
seeking employment against coming to
San Francisco since by so doing they
are likely to be disappointed in their own
hopes and certain to increase the evils
of unemployment among the people al
ready here"
Communications have been received in
Denver warning working people to stay
away from Seattle. Advertisements that
have been placed in Eastern papers by
the corporations on the coast have
caused the out-of-work throng to t1ock to
the coast. The situation is critical.

FIREMEN MAKE DEMANDS.

The national boards of locomotive fire.
men and enginemen, conductors and
trainmen, respectively, of the Rio Grande
system, who have been in joint session
since the first of the year, rested Wed
nesday with the formal presentation OF
their demands and grievances to Assist
ant General Manager w. S. Martin. The
demands include a I per cent. increase
for the firemen and the demand that the
railroad live up to its working agree
ments with the other men.
While no further action is contem
plated by the men until the answer OF
the road to their requests is made known
it has been given out that should the
reply, which is expected within week
be unfavorable, the 1000 men involved
will be in readiness to walk out April 1,
and completely tie mp the main line be
tween Denver and Salt Lake.
The agreement which the firemen had
with the company expired last October
At that time a 10 per cent. increase was
demanded i'll accordance with a general
demand made throughout the Middle
West and the West. 1t was refused and
the men have been working on an open
scale" basis ever since.

FEDERATION OF FEoERATIoNs.

the destruction Of trunk full of docu-
mentary evidence intended to be used
in the prosecution in the equity suit for
the dissolution of the United States

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE WORK.

The legislative committee of the
Trades Assembly reported at the meet
ing, Sunday, that it had had several
meetings with the general committee
composed of committees from different
organizations that are drafting an
amendment to the state constitution pro-
viding for an issue of bonds to the
amount of 100000 to be used by the
state land board for the mining of coal
on state lands, and that the bill had
been completed but not finally adopted.
The committee reported that a bill
had also been dra yn which creates a
public utilities commission. The report
said that this bill had not as yet been
adopted finally, and that another meeting
would be held on Sunday, March II, at
which time definite action would be
taken. The latter hill provides for a
commission of five members to receive a
salary of $4,000 per annum, and to hold
office for two. four and six years. 1t is
the desire of the legislative committee
to name the commissioners in the bill,
while other members of the general com.
mittee desire that they be appointed by
the governor. 1t is hoped that deci-
sion can be reached at the coming
meeting.

INVESTIGATING VIOLATION.

The Trades Assembly, Sunday, in
structed the public institutions commit
tee, Delegate Compton, chairman, to in
vestigate the alleged violation of the
state law and city ordinance in refer
ence to contract work that has been let
by the city to a contractor. The work
is in reference to the North Side sewer
that is being built. 1t is said that men
are employed thereon at less than a
dollar a day. If such is the case, and
the law clearly covers the offense, some
thing will be done in the matter that
will make the contractor come to time
in very short notice. Violations in this
respect have been numerous, and it is
time that the city officials should be
caused to put stop to such practice by
all-hog contractors.

ECONOMIC LEAGUE REVIVED.
Old Organization to Be Revived Under
New Name for Political Purposes.

At a meeting held Monday evening,
said by persons present to have been
held in the office of the State Federation
of Labor, Labors Independent Political
league was formed. 1t is said that the
organization was formed to inquire into
the fitness of candidates for political Of
fees and would announce whether or not
they are entitled to the votes OF WORK
ingmen. The organization Will take part
in city, state and national campaigns
the daily papers announce. In labor cir
cles little information can be obtained.
One paper announces that the Western
Federation of Miners and the United
Mine Workers officials have aligned
themselves with the organization, put
this is doubted. Neither of the miners
organizations have any members IN Den
yer except the officers and these are
very busy men. 1t is not belleved that
they have allowed their names to be con
nected. The officers, as announced IN
the daily papers, are:
President-Peter Johns of the Brother
hood of Carpenters.
Vice president-W. R. Welsh OF the
Horseshoers.
Secretary-J. H. Mitchell of the Lath-
ers.
Treasurer-Rufus P. Means of the
Typographical union.
Many of the members were heIhpefs 3
of the Economic league, and it is said
that it is revival of that organization,
under the name of Labor's Independent
Political league. Such an organization,
if it had following and was conducted
for the best interests of organized labor,
could be made a power in the city and
state. Further than the names that ap-
peared in the daily papers we are unable
to learn the personnel.

MoYER TO HAVE OPPOSITION.

Charles H. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, will have
opposition this year in the person of
Thomas Campbell. He is put forward by
the Butte union of engineers, which is
affiliated with the federation. The same
organization nominated Ernest Mills, the
incumbent, for secretary-treasurer, and
]. c. Lowney of Butte as member OF
the executive board. The present offic-
ers will all have opposition.
This is the first year that the organ
ization has elected by a referendum vote.
It requires only four unions to nominate
candidate for office and have his name
placed on the ticket. There will be a
large field. The vote will be polled
when the organization meets in annual
convention in Victor in July.

GROCER COMBINE ILLEGAL.

Judge Tully Scott, presiding judge of
the court of appeals, wrote the opinion
of that court in the case of the prosecu-
ton of the Denver grocery cobine. 1t
is declared to be a combination in re-
straint of trade. The decision says, in
part:
Any trust, combination or pool for the
fixing of prices in Colorado is unlawful
and can be prevented by the attorney
general
Any person who enters into such
combination is criminal under the law
against conspiracy, liable to fine of
81 900 and Imprisonment of from three
months to two years.
Not even the legislature can legalize
the practices of the sort admitted by the
Denver jobbers, the Retail Merchants of
Colorado, the Denver Retail Grocers' as
sociation and the big wholesalers. The
crime is fixed by the constitution itself
and cannot be wiped out by mere legis-
lative enactment
Any corporation which enters into
such a combine can be dissolved and its
charter forfeited.
The crime of monopoly and combina-
ton to fix prices has been recognized
for centuries and is part of the common
law that was made a part of the law of
the state by the constitution.
The grocers' combination has admit
ted acts which menace the fundamental
rights of every citizen.

LAsoRING MEN ON TRIAL.
Judge Refuses to Quash Indictments and
Trials Continue

The federal government drew first
blood in the arraignment of the forty-six
defendants in the alleged dynamiting
conspiracy at Indianapolis, Tuesday, as
was expected, when Judge Anderson
overruled a motion to quash the pro-
ceedings against the five Chicago labor
leaders involved and ]. w. Irwin of
Peoria, Ill.
Arguments were then commenced on
demurrers which were filed against all
of the thirty-two indictments in the
cases. The demurrers allege:
That the act of 1866 under which the
indictments were returned, was repealed
in 1908.
That the indictments do not allege
that the acts were continued during the
time specified in the indictments.
That the statute of limitations has ex-
pired against the alleged offenses.
That the indictments do not allege
that the transportation of explosives was
unlawful or that the explosives were to
be used for an unlawful purpose.
That the indictments are not suffi-
ciently specific to permit the defendants
to deceive the railroad companies.
That it is not unlawful. to carry ex-
plosives on passenger trains.
That the defendants are not guilty.
The Chicago labor leaders in whose
behalf the motion to 1uash was filed are:
James Cooney, Richard H. Houlihan,
VIM. Shupe, James Coughlin and Patrick
Ryan.

SANITARY WAY OF SWEEPING
Various Methods Of Keeping Down the
Dust Whom tho Vacuum Cleaner
10 Unavailable.

Recently there has been developed
a great improvement in housekeeping
appliances-the vacuum cleaner It is
not yet perfect. but It contains great
promise. This innovation practically
"eats the dirt" sucking 1t into its
great tube Of throat, and depositing
1t in an air-tight receptacle, which
may be emptied and cleaned out Of
doors. If the cleaner is mechanically
we'll constructed and susceptible OF
easy manipulation, 1t Is a valuable
household invention.
Whenever these more effective
methods Of removing dirt are. for any
reason, temporarily impossible, al
ways remember that moisture makes
dust not only less harmful, but more
manageable. The old-fashioned Gus
tom Of sprinkling wet tea leaves over
the carpet before sweeping was not
done for hygienic reasons, but to
brighten the colors. It was, however
unintentionally sanitary. Newspapers
torn or cut into bits, and thoroughly
wet. answer the same purpose and
are more easily obtained in the guam
tity desired. In cases Of illness exist
ing In the room to be cleaned, an ex-
cellent practice Is to saturate these
bits Of paper with solution Of Platt's
chlorides, Electrozone, or a 20 per
cent. carbolic solution. busting may
be accomplished in a sanitary man
ner by using an oily cloth, or, for
some purposes, one moistened with
water is better.
Oil is becoming more and more one
Of the weapons Of the sanitarian. BY
its use the roads in some towns are
kept almost free from the dust null
sance, and stagnant and mosquito
breeding pools are prevented from
communicating the atmosphere.-Wom
