toll of misery, suffering and death in
this country surprising that suffered
by the armed forces of any belliger
ent country in Europe
Governmental neglect is the second
cause, and the facts about it will be
disclosed in a second bulletin. But if
the money now piling up in New York
banks to the credit of men who are
/ preparing an imperialistic campaign
of world exploitation were distributed
in higher wages, cheap credits, and
lower rents, there would be no need
for governmental action.
WHAT GoRGAs SAYS
Major General VIM. c. Gorgas is the
man who cleaned up Panama and
. made possible the digging of the canal.
He is the highest medical officer of
the United States army, and scien-
tist Of world reputation. He said:
"The preventabIe mortality in this
country is greater than the mortality
caused by the European war. Science
knows that the chief cause of disease
is poverty; that disease can never be
eliminated so long as people are fore
ed to live poorly and close together"
Here are the figures compiled in CO.
operation with government experts
and endorsed by them, showing how
poverty kills.
In Brookline, Mass, live the well-to-
do and the rich of Boston. Babies die
in Brookline at the rate of rs PER
THOUSAND. In South Bethlehem
where live the steel workers, whose
Drawn and brain produce the wealth
that has glutted Wall Street banks
and the Golfers of Broadway wine
merchants, babies die at the rate of
233 PER THOUSAND.
Where the people work the hardest
their babies die the fastest. Poverty
kills them. 1t is fair to say that the
net result of the American steel in
dustry is killing babies and making
miIIionaires.
East Orange, New Jersey, is an
other wealthy suburban town, where
the residents work not at all. Babies
die there at the rate of IS PER THOU.
SAND.
THREE TO ONE
Fall River, Mass, is a center of the
textile industry of New England. The
people there produce the wealth that
is spent in towns like Brookline and
East Orange, or on Fifth Avenue in
New York And their babies die at
the rate of 229 PER THOUSAND.
For every baby of the weI-to-do
that dies in East Orange or Brook
line, THREE babies of the POOR,
who are also the most industrious, die
in Fall River or South Bethlehem.
In Fall River wages are so low that
many mothers work in the mills.
Among S33 infants in Fall River, it
was found that the infant mortality
rate among families with non-working
mothers was 1905, and that among
families with working mothers was
1886.
But the rate of 76 deaths per thou
ia, Il
in East Orange is far TOO high. Even
in those towns there are many poor
people, for even there there is some
work to be done. And the Children's
Bureau of the Department of Labor
found that the death rate for Babies
in Montclair, n. j., was only 80 PER
