EPIDEMIC NEAR
IF GARBAGE Is
NOT TAKEN UP
Labor Shortage Causes
Crisis in Disposal; More
Labor Wanted.

Washington is threatened with a
serious epidemic unless something is
done quickly to ameliorate couii-
tions incident to the congestion Of
garbage throughout the city. Ser
iousness of the situation was admit
ted yesterday by officials of the Dis
trict government and of the street
cleaning department.
Scarcity OF labor and rapid in
crease in population was blamed for
most of the troubles that have
arisen in connection with handling
the garbage. The latter has been
accommodating to such an charming
extent that complaints have been
pouring in from all sides. both to
the Commissioners and the street
cleaning department of the city.
Matters have reached tSe@ stage
where the authorities are strictly
up against it," they said.
According to an official In the
street cleaning department. the in
crease in population Of Washington
has had much to do with present
garbage troubles. Our facilities
for handling the garbage was based
on q population existing here be-
fore the new rush began" he said.
Under normal conditions. our ef-
fectiye force for taking care Of the
city's garbage numbers about 100
persons. At present we have not
more than rs. and we experience
great difficulty in holding that many
together. Notwithstanding the fact
that good pay is offered by the city
for this class of service.
The men are paid $3.e3 per day.
with extra pay for overtime. and
pay-and-a-hal on holidays. In
spite of this attractive wage scale.
we are shorthapded. but readers of
The Washington Herald may rest
assured that we will soon get the
garbage out of the way.
an the downtown congested dis
tricts, we use motor trucks almost
exclusively in getting rid of the
garbage. and they seem to have
the situation well in hand. Most of
the trouble is in the outlying sec
tions of the city where there is a
dearth of these trucks, and where
the work has to be done by the
slower process of team and wagon.
'If we can get more motor
trucks, equipped with their own
drivers, the street cleaning depart
ment is willing to pay well for this
service. We also need a large num-
Der of additional common laborers
capable of performing work of this
character.

WIREMEN WINNING FIGHT.
Men Discharged As Union Afiliants

Union for union activities would all

Roye Reported Evacuated.
Front dispatches reporting the
evacuation by the Germans Of Roye.
the main railway center in their Pa
cardy pocket. ten miles northeast OF
Montdidier, are still unconfirmed Of
ficially. but the towns occupation by
the allied center is expected before
the night is over. Last night the
French at Marquivillers were only
three and three-quarter miles south
west OF Roye.
The fifth day so fSy has brought
few important changes in the bat
tie line. but the co-British-Amer-
lean pressure continues, while artil-
lery is being brought up and the
gains are being consolidated. All
along the line German resistance has
stiffened strongly. Teuton counter
attacks, however, were without avail.
Paris advices quote authoritative
e5timates as placing the number of
prisoners taken SO far at nearly
10000. and that of captured guns
at 700.
ChauInes stIn Held by Foe.
Chaulnes at last accounts was
still in the hands of the Germans
who are bending might and main
to shove back the allied tide from
the main avenue OF escape for Won

pocket northward.
The Bavarian crown princes re-
serves are well nigh used UP. That

preclude a large scale counter Of

UNIONS WANT

Central Labor Dissatisfied

tions in District.

Charging that conditions have
steadily become worse since prohibi-
ton came to the District, the Central
Labor Union last night resolved to

gress to permit sale of beer and light

The workers Of the District are

chased since last November with the
proceeds of bootleggiHg.
On pay day, employers are forced to
go to Baltimore after their men and
bring them home that their businesses
may not be disrupted by the absence
of the men the next day.
The resolution is as follows:
