AND
TUBERCULOSIS IN
CLOSE RELATION
Most Cases Traceable to Cheap
Lodging Houses and Bad
Conditions
BY .1tsocfntcd Pr.s1

Washington, d. c., May 12.-The
close relation of poverty to tubercu-
losls is emphasized in a report made
public to-day by the Public Health
Service after an extensive investigation
In many cities. One-siXth of all tuber-
culosis cases, it declared, develop in
cheap lodging houses and one-fifth are
traceable to occupational hazards and
bad working conditions.
As examples, statistics gathered in
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are cited.
In the former city's tenement district
tuberculosis was found to be three
times as great as in the better sections,
and the average monthly income of
l91 families in which these cases were
found was computed as $17. Much
the same condition was discovered in
Pittsburgh, where nearly 10000 fac
tory workmen submitted to physical
examination in the course OF investi-
cation.
The report points out that almost
without exception cities with higher
percentage of Irish, Scandinavian and
German stock and those in which the
negro population is relatively large
have q corresponding high mortality
while those of the Italian and Jewish
element is proportionately great have
low tuberculosis death rate.
