HIGH WAGES CHECKS DISEASE

Washington.-"Pay the worker more
and he will live better, and his family
will escape much of the danger from
disease" said Surgeon-General Gorgas,
of the United States Army. in an ad-
dress to churchmen in this city.
in the treatment of tropical diseases, y
he said, poverty must always be con-
sidered as one of the most important
evils to be eradcated. Doubling the
wages of workmen in Havana raised
them from their former impecunious
state and enabled them to live more
sanitary than before"
General Gorgas reviewed the work of
his fifteen years spent in the tropics {;
told how he and his coworkers eradi-
Gated the mosquitoes from the canal
zone; and how before that he had di-
rected the scientific work that made the
city of Havana a place in which to live
instead of one in which to die.
Great sanitation is possible only
where one is able to make the people
understand the necessity of right liv
ing" he said. in my experience | have
found that a higher rate of pay is the
most effective way of alleviating their
former condition"

CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS.

Sacramento, Cal.-This States expert
ment OF placing convcts on road work
is success. according to the State High
way Commission. +. G. Somner, divi-
sion engineer for the commission, says
The best results can be obtained only
in conjunction with proper consideration
and humane treatment, it being abso-
lutely imperative to impress upon these
men the fact that during the term of
their good intentions they shall not be
oppressed by weight of the law and
under no circumstances shall their con-
duct be misjudged In return, honest
effort on their part is demanded.
There are no firearms in evidence in
these camps or on the work, and the
men are not guarded says Somner.
Punishment is administered only by the
men being returned to prison and the
withdrawal of the additional good time
allowance provided by law. No precau-
tions are taken against escape. and the
men, outside of working hours and on
holidays, enjoy almost absolute freedom.
Only four attempts at escape have been
made since the camps were established.
The men are well housed and well fed
and are amply provided with all sorts
OF games and reading matter. There
are excellent facilities for bathing and
the washing of clothes. Sanitary condi-
tions are in accordance with the regula-
tions of the California Housing and I'm
migration Commission"

WANT SEAMEN'S LAW AMENDED

Washngton--A special committee of
the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States has recommended that several
sections OF the seamen's law be suspend
ed and referendum will be held on the
proposal by the various commercial bod
les affiliated to the chamber One Of
the sections that is opposed abolshes the
arrest of seamen for desertion from
any vessel that stops at an American
port Seamen show that the present law
permits crew. employed in a foreign
port at low wages. to refuse to work on
arrival an American port unless their
wages are raised to the rates of that port.
The effect of this law will be to raise
wages all over the world, as vessel own
ers cannot hold their crews under threat
of arrest. as formerly.
The committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States favors
the repeal OF this section AS millions
OF dollars OF American money are in
vested in foreign ships. manned by cheap
labor, the result of the referendum can
be predicted.
