Is the fact that we arc losing in the

be available enough unskilled labor to

There is a possibility Of a labor short

ser lies not IN the planting time but
the time Of harvesting. This danger is
not present by reason Of an actual
shortage Of help to do all the necessary
work Of the country in this crisis but
is present largely because Of the dis
organization Of industrial forces. For
instance, in the st. Paul street car strike

PURE CAMOUFLAGE

The quarantine against influenza
maintained in Spokane is pure
camouflage, designed to alleviate the
fears of prospective visitors to that
city, but not to seriously handicap
the stores or places of amusement in
their pursuit of dollars. 1t will avail
little to maintain a strict quarantine
in the counties tributary to Spokane
unless an equally rigid quarantine is
enforced in that city. If people from
the surrounding country are al
lowed to crowd into the Spokane
stores and to occupy seats in every
other row of the theatres, it is likely
to take months to stamp out the dis
ease. Spokane is the center from
which the germs are being dissent
mated all over the Inland Empire.
People from counties where a real
quarantine is being enforced go to
Spokane and take home with them
the germs of the dread disease
The disastrous flaring up of the
epidemic after it had been nearly
stamped out can be traced directly
to the big Peace Celebration which
brought throngs of people to Spo-
kane. The men who planned and
permitted the holding of that cele-
bration are directly responsible for
scores of deaths and thousands
of cases of sickness. If they
value profits so much higher than
life, as to refuse to take proper
measures to safeguard public health,
the state authorities should step in
and compel them to maintain a
proper quarantine.
The counties in which the schools
J and churches are closed and all pub
lie gatherings are prohibited should
| join in demanding that their efforts
to stamp out the disease be seconded
by the enforcement of equally rigid
| regulations in the city of Spokane
The argument of the Spokane
health officer, that it is of no avail
to maintain a strict quarantine there
as long as people who have been ex
posed to the influenza are constant
ly coming to the city from surround
ing points, is double edged and works
both ways. The state health author
tiles should establish and maintain {
rigid ban on crowds in every city
town and county of eastern Washing
ton, including Spokane, and then +
may be possible to eradicate the cpl
J demic promptly and completely.
