One recommendation that will be made
to the clean city committee when 1t meets
September to consider plans for MAIN
tanning Washington in a sanitary con-
dition throughout the fall and winter
will relate to the care of private and
public stables, with the object of pre-
venting these places from serving as a
breeding ground for flies.
There is no more prolific source of
origin for the insects than a stable that
is not kept thoroughly clean. 1t is be-
lieved that If owners of private stables
particularly will take steps to destroy the
larvae from which the insects spring the
city generally will be benefited by a d.
minished fly population.

Gives Sensible Advice to Workers Who Would Strike-Persuades Them to Give Up Such Plan.

A meeting of the people employed in the manufacturing department of the American Thyead company was held Tuesday evening in the Polish hall on Lower Main street, to consider the mat ter of going on another strike, not because they were not satisfied, but because the company in many in- stances had refused employment to people applying for work, those who had gone out on strike the last time, A number favored going out on strike, not been re-engaged, but many more favored giving the company a chance te show their good faith by employing the strikers as fast as they found need fer them.
 The matter was given long discus- sion and speeches were made on both sides. Louis Schultz of New York, an organizer for the 1. W. W, was present and advised the people not to strike, for the present at least. He said that without duubt the company would hice all the strikers back just as soon as there was work for them. It was final ly decided to take a vote, which result ed by large majority in favor of re- training from striking at present.
 The police were at the mill gates as usual Wednesday morning, but as there was no sign of any indication of im- pending disturbance the force did not report for noon duty at the various en- frances to the mills.
