SANITATION PAYS

The recent visit of John D. Rockefeller. Jry to the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company's mines revealed the
fact that not little of the discomfort that led to the
deplorabe strike in that region was attributable to the
insantary dwellings and modes of food supply existing
there. ,
The so-caled rebellion at Wheatland, California last
wear was discovered after thorough investigation BY the
California State Commission fo immigration and Housing
to be partly if not primarily due to the miserable dwell
ings and the nsantay environment of the hop plckers
The commission was led to nyesti gate other labor camps
in that state with most benecent results 1t established
model camp and from the practical data obtained Is
sued pamphlet containing rules for camp sanitation
photographs and drawings for sanitary bunk houses that
served the commission to make propaganda through
practical workers under the commissions engineers
The efforts of the United Fruit Company offer an
other example of efficiency arising from sanitation in an
industry Having an aggregate Of $4,000 employees IN
Cuba, Central and South America, the death rate was
reduced from IL thousand in 1912 to thousand in
1913 in that division of its territory in which were ap
piled large expenditures of money, skill and labor for
sanitation under periodic medical visitation
The splendid work of the Pennsylvania railroad after
the floods of 1913 offers another lesson on sanitation as
being an important economic factor The United States
Steel industry applying this principle with enormous
advantage.
