THE CITY
STREET LITTER AND
STREET SWEEPINGS.
Ordinances Against Defaeins Of Towns
Should Be Enforced.

One considerable source of the dirt
and waste that must be removed from
the streets is commonly called street
litter. consisting of miscellaneous
wastes thrown upon the streets and
sidewalks by those passing along the
streets or swept out of business houses
and residences. Street littering is eff
fectively prevented in most European
cities by the rigorous enforcement Of
laws OF ordinances prohibiting it.
Most of our American cities have such
laws and ordinances, but they are
practically dead letters" Spasmodic
attempts have been made to enforce
them in a number of cities. but public
opinion has not sufficiently sustained
these efforts, nor have the municipal
authorities. as a rule, made their n
forcement practicable by providing an
ample supply of receptacles into which
such litter may be deposited.
An important step in tlhs direction
must be the collection of more COM
plete and accurate data as to the guam
tity of such litter handled and the ad-
ditional cost Of collecting it when

All through the anthracite coal field
Of Pennsylvania the miners remained
idle on Mitchell day (Oct. 20, in observ-
ance of the successful termination of
the strike of 1900. which was the first
conducted by the union under the lead
ership of John Mitchell. then its presi-
dent.
The strike won for the men a 10 per
cent wage advance and other conces-
sions and was the entering wedge of
the United Mine Workers in the hard
coal region. Up to 1900 the men were
not organized. following the disband-
ment Of the Knights Of Labor.
There was another strike in 1902.
which was settled through the commits
sion named by President Roosevelt.
The agreement then entered into has
been effective ever since. with slight
notifications from time to time on the
three year renewal of the contract. n
year ago last spring the miners entered
into an agreement for four years.
Since then there have been numerous
petty BUTTON strikes to force men
into the union or to compel delinquents
to pay up their dues.

thrown upon the streets. In New York
city the street cleaning department
has given attention to this matter and
estimates that the additional cost thus
imposed on the department amounts
approximately to $4,000 annually.
This very large sum could be saved to
the city yearly by providing conven-
lent receptacles for litter and then en-
forcing the ample ordinances already
existing. European experience has
proved beyond doubt that this may be
done without imposing any serious in
convenience upon the public.
