CAUSES FOR DEATHS
AS BASIS FOR WORK
Statistics Necessary to Check Infant
Mortality, Says Miss Lathrop.
in Address.

Decrease of infant mortality can be
effected only with the help OF statistics
which will tell what causes infant NOR
tality," said Miss Julia c. Lathrop, head
Of the Children's Bureau Of the Depart
ment Of Labor, last night in an address
on Child Welfare Work." at a meeting
of the central conference Of the Asso-
ciated Charities at the New Willard
Hotel
Miss Lathrop said that nothing can be
done to better conditions and to prevent
the great number of deaths among infants
until figures are obtainable to tell where,
at what age and why the children die.
This, she said, must be done by the
registration of birth IN cities. City socie-
ties, she said, must cooperate with the
Children's Bureau so that remedial action
could be planned.
A J. McKelway, secretary of the Ma
tional Child Labor Commission charged
lack of patriotism among Washington
ians, caused, he said, by the lack Of rep
resentation in the government and be-
cause the people are governed without
their consent
Miss Jean Wall, assistant secretary of
the conference, read the report for the
last year. DR.. J. S. Wall talked of the
infant welfare stations in the District
and told of the work they are doing.

COLORADO Mines
MAY BE CLOSED
President Wilson Considers
This Action After Troops
Have Been Recalled.
DEBS CASE AUTHORITY
Miners Want Work Stopped Because
Fighting VIII Take Place Between
Union Men and Guards.

A report that President Wilson is con-
sidering closing the Colorado coal mines
as the only step by which order can
be maintained without the presence there
Of Federal troops caused a good deal Of
discussion In Washington yesterday. The
! report was circulated following a long
conference between the President and
Attorney General Gregory at the White
House at which, 1t Is understood, the
President asked TO be Informed as to his
legal authority for taking such a step
The Attorney General was informed of
this report, but he refused 70 comment
on It in any way. In some quarters his
silence was regarded as tending to con-
firm II.
Miners Start Rumors.
White House officials likewise made no
comment on the subject. II was learned
authoritatively that preceding the con-
ference at the White House the Presi-
dent had made no written request upon
the Attorney General for an opinion on
the legal questions involved In the sug-
gested exercise Of the executive power.
The proposition that the President close
the mines emanated from the striking
miners. Such action has been urged
in written communication to the White
House from the operatives, and wednes-
day Mother" Jones, the mine strike
leader, called at the White House. in
company with James Lord, of the mining
division OF the American Federation of
Labor, to urge that the mines be closed.
The striking miners have accepted the
Presidents proposal for a settlement OF
the strike controversy. while the mine
owners have rejected IT. The President
refuses to accept the rejection OF the
owners as their final answer and he has
said from time to time that he did not
regard the matter as closed.
Fighting VIII Break Out. .
In urging acceptance upon the owners,
erence to his resolution not to keep the
Federal troops in the Colorado strike
fields indefinitely. Labor leaders have
Informed him that sharp fighting GER
tainly win break out between the miners
and the State militia II the Federal
troops are withdrawn before an agree
ment is reached between the parties to
the controversy.
Labor leaders have expressed the opin-
ion that the Presidents authority to close
the mines was established by the de- |
cision of the Supreme Court in the famous |
Debs case which grew out of the Chicago |
strike in President Cleveland's term. !
This decision is declared to have Atab-
lished that the President may exercise |
the supreme powers Of the Federal gov !
ernment to protect the mails and inter-
state commerce. but just how it would !
apply in the Colorado situation has not
been made clear.

PURE MILK
The Story of Gigantic Combination and Campaign of Per
secution-How Health Authorities, Acting Without
Warrant of Law, Aid the Enterprise

| from the market. This is the OBJ
iect of the game. The time has
come when the public should learn
the plain truth.
The First Chapter IN the Great Con-
spiraey.
The first chapter in the great
conspiracy was written when pas
teurization was insisted upon as
the remedy for all evils. Pasteur-
lied milk is nothing more nor less
than cooked milk. The tempera-
ture to which the milk is subjected
destroys the lactic acid and the al
buminoids, thus weakening its
health-giving and nourishing quail
ity. Pasteurized or preserved milk
can be kept and served when six
or eight days old. Fresh milk can
not. By cleverly stimulating an
artificial demand for pasteurized
milk the manufacturers created a
market for costly machinery. Many
milk dealers in Washington have
installed plants costing from 5000
to $1,000 merely because the con-
sumers have been made to believe
by the authorities and others that
pasteurization is necessary and
wise. Other dealers who refused
to be a party to fraud and imposi-
ton upon the public have been de-
nounced and prosecuted. They
would not purchase immunity
by paying the price which selfish
manufacturers demanded. They
have served fresh, uncooked milk,
free from impurities, but they have
been made to suffer for their in
dependence by the powerful inter
ests which had patented machinery
and processes to sell.
In addition to the pasteurizing
propaganda, there is another sys-
tenn of persecution. Excessive
Bacteria" is now the weapon of
Why? Is it a coincidence
that one of the richest and most
powerful corporations in the world
owns a controlling interest in all |
the condensed and powdered milk
factories in the United States, and
that the Rockefeller Foundation,
whether Intentionally or not, is
in harmony with the
scheme to develop the condensed
milk business? Until lately very
many of the agents and employees
Of this Foundation were Off, in
Iced, they are not still) in the De-
oartment of Agriculture, where the
bacterial count originated; and the
of that Foundation to the
work of the Department of Agri-
,ulture is the subject of an inter
esting and significant letter of the
Secretary of Agriculture, in re-
,ponse to a Senate Resolution of
April l. 1914 (Sen. Doc. No. 538,
md Sess., 63rd Cong.).
Trying to Diseredit Fluid Milk Dealers. !
The one result now apparently
ought to be accomplished is the
liscrediting of fluid milk dealers, so
hat the market for condensed milk
nay be increased; and, if it were
he intention so to do, there could
lot be more effectively DEVISED
The Washington herald., 1914-10-30

Milk is an essential of human
existence. From infancy to old age
it is as necessary as water and air
1t is food and nourishment, sup,
plying the body with the elements
which sustain and prolong life.
1t is most important that milk
should be served to the public in
freshness and purity. The milk
dealer strives to attain this result.
1t would be foolish in him to do
otherwise. The increase in his
business depends upon the satisfac-
ton which he gives to his Gus
toner. No milk dealer with COM
mon sense persistently and know
ingly serves either sour or impure
milk. He might just as well turn
the key upon his place of business
and put up a red flag.
The wise lawmakers seek to in
sure pure milk by compelling clean
ly conditions at the dairy farm,
the source of the supply. The
Health Officer is given authority to
inspect these farms and insist upon
cleanliness. If this authority is ex-
ercised with tboroughness and
constant vigilance, the problem of
obtaining and supplying pure milk
is largely solved. There is little or
no danger of impure milk if the
dairy herd is healthy and we'll
kept. If, in addition to this, the
milk is kept cool until it is served
to the consumer, the possibility of
danger is reduced to minimum.
Keep the farm clean and the
milk cool. This is the whole story
in one sentence-the plain, simple,
incontrovertible fact. Unfortu-
nately, however, the public has
been led to believe, through an agi-
tation inspired by selfish motives,
that there is great danger in bac-
terra. The pure-food law is wiser
than the public. 1t says nothing
about bacteria. The men who
framed the law know that there
are bacteria in everything wa
ter we drink and the air we
breathe. There are bacteria in the
udder of the COW before the milk
is drawn.

what is in effect a gigantic combi-
nation, tending to crush out the
men who have invested all their
capital in the milk business and
have spent their lives in the effort
to serve the public faithfully and
well.
The interests which are promot-
ing the condensed and powdered
milk industry prey upon the fear
of the public. They raise all man
ner of false alarms and keep up
the agitation by instituting suits
which are widely advertised when
brought, but which seldom or never
come to decision. Meanwhile the
health authorities fail to vigorously
execute the law regarding the in
Spection of farnls-a law which, If
administered, would tend to re-
move all possible danger. If this
were done, however, there would be
no excuse for selling pasteurizing
machinery nor would official
agents have an opportunity to ha-
rass the dealers. Consequently the
farmers are overlooked and the
dealers are prosecuted. Every
time that the public can be made
to believe that fresh milk is un-
healthy the condensed milk busi-
ness is given a boom, the profits
are increased and the great corpo-
ration becomes greater. Not only
in Washington, but in all the cities
of the United States this game is
being played. When the health au-
thorities fail to cooperate, as has
happened in some cities, secret in
fluenceS bring about a change and
thus the interests continue to
thrive.
Women's Clubs MisIed.
1t is a pity that women's clubs
and other well-meaning and praise
worthy organizations are innocent
ly assisting in this great conspir-
acy. They hear only one side.
They do not get the facts. If they
would investigate, they would find
the dealers ready and willing to
furnish pure, fresh, uncooked milk.
If they would only devote their
to seeing that the farms
are kept clean and the COWS are
kept healthy and the milk is kept
cool until it reaches the customer,
they would render invaluable aid.
The fight for pure milk has only
just begun. The milk dealers have
neither the immense fund nor the
nationwide organization possessed
BY the great interests which would
drive them out of business, bat
hey have the right upon their side
and they must eventually win.
They will fight the gigantic mo-
lopoly which threatens their exist
ence by making public the real
,acts in the case and entering the
open door of every court where
Justice is to be found.
