BABIES DYING
IN POOR HOMES
Low Wages Of Fathers Respon.
sible for Excessive Death
Rate of Infants,
Mothers, Forced to Work in
Mills, Unable to Provide
Proper Care.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Low wages
of fathers and the gainful employment
of mothers away from home accom-
pany an excessive death rate among
babies in Manchester. n. H., according
to the report on infant mortality in
that city which has just been issued by
the Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor.
The study was based primarily on in
tervlews with the babies mothers. It
was absolutely democratic in scope and
included all babies whose births were
registered during single year and
whose families could be found. OF all
the babies studied. one in skies per
1,OO0-had died during the first year
of life. There were wide variations in
rate between different groups of the
population, according to the fathers
earnings, the employment of the
mother, the congestion of the home
and the way in v .lich the baby had
been fed.
Nearly half of the 1,643 babies had
fathers whose earnings were less than
$3.50 a year. and more than one-eighth
of the babies had fathers earning less
than $3.50 a year. Only one in sixteen
(6.4 per cent? had fathers earning as
much as $3.50. The death rate among
the babies in the poorest families was
more than four times as high as among
those in the highest wage group
Low earnings on the part of the
father appear to be the most potent
reason for the mothers going to work
Where the fathers earned .less than
$3.50 year almost three-fourtl1s of the
mothers were gainfully employed dur
ing some part of the year after the
baby's birth. AS the fathers earnings
rise the proportion of working mothers
falls until in the group where fathers
earned $1,000 or over, less than one
tenth of the mothers worked.
Keeping dodgers was theschief occu-
patton of those who worked at home
and working. in the textile mills was
the chief occupation of those who
worked away from home. The mothers
of 267 babies went out to work during
the first year Of the baby's life and
these babies had'a death rate consid-
erably higher than those whose moth
ers worked at home, or were not gain
fully employed. The rate is especially
high-2773 per 1,O00-among the 119
babies whose mothers went out to
work before they were months old.
The babies were grouped also &C

SYSTEN0F RENTALS ANlHAI[ES
ENCOURAGES F0O6MON0POLY

NEW YORK, July 5.-Millions OF
dollars are being added to the price
of food and gouged from the people
Of every city and industrial center
in the land by conspiracy between
the food dealer nd the landlord to
create monopoly and control of food
products.
The direct relation between city
landlordism and high food prices is
pointed out in a statement, given to
the Peoples News Service by John
]. Dillon, commissioner of the New
York state department of foods and
markets.
In New York city, high rentals for
wholesale and retail markets enrich
the landlord and Spectator on the
one hand while they keep down COM
petition and place monopoly control
of the food supply in the hands Of
comparatively few food dealers, on
the other.
1t is this conspiracy between food
dealers and landlords that cheats the
farmer of fair price and discourases
maximum production on the farm.
While in the city it robs the house
wife and deprives the wage-earner
and the small salaried man and his
family of fresh, wholesome nutritious
food. 1t explains why last YEAR deal
ers paid the grower cents per pound
for onions and then sold them during
the winter for ii cents per pound. It
explains why eggs put into storage
at % cents are sold to the consumer
for 60 to Is cents, and why potatoes
for which the farmer received 80
cents and 81 4 bushel were sold to
the consumer at $685. 1t is why
bread in New York and Chicago is
higher today than in blockaded Eng
land and France
Encouraged by City.
Instead of acting and to break down
artificial monopoly control of the food
supply, the city Of New York under
Mayor Mitchell encourages this organ
lied plundering and extortion first by
a tax system that permits high rents,
and then by charging high license
taxes to Independent food dealers and
by refusing farmers and independent
dealers permission to use available
public spaces. In few public places
in New York food vendors are per-
mitted to operate on payment of a
high rental per square foot of space.
For so tender is the city administra-
ton toward the landlords that it re-
fuses to compete with them on any
except the prevailing terms. let the

COUNT T0LSTOY ON

Statement to Herman Bern

NEW YORK, July mo revolu-

LABOR NOT SCARCE. =.
LIVING WAGE: 3. \ ]:
PAID TO NEGROES
Is Report Of Committee Of
Toledo Central Labor
Union.

TOLEDO, Ohio, July Sin a report
on the importation of negro labor to
this city. the Central Labor Unions
legislative committee has, brought out
these facts:
That there is no scarcity of labor
where employers work their employees
decent hours and pay fair wages
That thousands of negroes have
heen imported during the past three
months and are not paid living wage.
That while one large contractor was
advertising for Toledo labor to go to
France to help in the rebuilding of
railroads he was importing hundreds
Of negroes to this city to work on his
own jobs.
That, crime has increased as a re-
suit Of these importations and law
abiding Toledo negro citizens suffer
thereby.
The committee is most emphatic
into this summary, and it stands
squarely on the trade union declara-
ton against discrimination because of
creed, color, race or nationality.
1T becomes our duty at this time"
t is stated, Ito call the attention of
the public to this condition and to do
all in our power to have these men
organized SO that we may be able to
raise their wages and better their
conditions in accordance with the
standards that we, as citizens, believe
in. If some effort is not made to stop

cording to the kind of house in which
the family lived. The death rate for
babies whose homes were in one-fam-
lily houses was S6.1 per 1000; in
houses containing seven or more fam
lilies 1855 per 1000. Similarly the
rate, showed a steady increase accord
ing to the number of persons per
room. 1t was 1888 per 1000 where
the family had more rooms than per-
sons: and 245.9 where there were two
or more persons per room.
In each. economic group the babies
who were artificially fed had fewer
chances of survival than the babies
whose mothers nursed them. But the
economic status of the family modifies
the influence of feeding, and the diff
ference in the death rates for breast
fed babies and artificially fed babies is
least striking in the highest income
