fired the first shots in a riot, at that
place, November "a. Several thousand
workers employed by the International
Silver Company at Meriden, Walling
ford and other cities in this State are
on strike for better conditions. The

"THE PEASANTS OF AMERICA"

Worcester Mass.-Under the above
caption, the Worcester Post SAYS:
AS the facts develop in the East
Youngstown, Ohio, strke-rioting, where
the town was partially burned, we find
that the problem of immigration was to
large degree behind it all.
For 80 years the large manufacturers
of this country have acted as if immigra-
ton were an important department of
their business. immigration they need
ed to solve their labor problem The
more workers arriving every year-the
more men standing outside their gates
every morning waiting for any old Job
at any old wages-the better the big en-
ployers liked it. 1t meant plenty of
hands at low cost for the hard, labor
ious, unskiled work. This in turn meant
plenty OF recruits, anxious to learn the
skilled work. Thus the cost of common
labor was kept down and quiet MAIN
tained among skilled workers by the
spectacle of more, and yet more, ready
to jump into their jobs
I'm every industrial locality there
grew up settlements of uneducated, un-
trained strangers peasants from the
backward farm sections of backward
south European countries. Did the man
utacturers have any thought for the
welfare of these unframed people,?
Did the big employers take steps to
educate them, or their children? Did
the fellows who capitalize immigration
into big profits do anything to teach
these strange-tongued peasants the
American language, or enlighten them
on American customs and American
laws?
Not one bit of it, They were per-
fectly willing to let them huddle miser-
ably in their settlements where they
learned nothing about the country of
their adoption. The big employer want

Beginning of the Germ Theory.

Agostino Bassi, a country doctor in
the north OF Italy, early in the last
century was the starter OF the germ
theory Of disease. AT that time a pc
culiar disease was killing the silk
worms, bringing ruin to the whole silk
country Of Italy. Bassi, by the micro
scope, discovered the germ which is
the cause Of the disease The germ
later was named Botritis bassana
Bassi believed and stated that human
diseases were also caused by germs.
Bassi's work was sneered at and pooh
poohed by his fellow men and physi-
clans, and he failed to make a lasting
impression, thereby losing great glory

HEART DISEASE ON INCREASE.

Washington-Deaths from heart dis
ease are increasing steadily and deaths
from tuberculosis are showing decline
reports Director Harris of the federal
census bureau. From 1904 to 1914 the
deaths from tuberculosis in all its forms
fell from 200.7 to 146.S per 1000, the
decline being continuous from year to
year. This is drop of more than 25
per cent Prior to 1904 the rate had
fuctuated starting at 2O19 in 1900
Even yet tuberculosis has the gruesome
distinction of causing more deaths an
nually than any other form of bodily
illness except heart disease and over
40 per cent more than all the external
causes-accidents, homicides, and suicide
combined. Steady decline in the rate
from tuberculosis is ascribed by the CEN
sus to a better understanding of the laws
of health and the necessity for fresh
air
