OUR GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

The responsibiity of the people of America is even greater now

Mr.. Hoover and we may rest assured that when he says CONSERVATION
is needed here as never before in order to feed the starving millions Oh
Europe, it is true and, what is more, the American people Will respond
TO the appeal most heartily.
Mr. Hoover's plans contemplate sending from the United States
food for more than 100000 of Uncle Sam armed forces now abroad,
helping to provision approximately l2OOOoooo persons OF te Dig ~ =

Prepare NOW FOR NEXT EPIDEMIC

With plans for combating another influenza epidemic, which Is
expected to sweep the country in 1919, one of the principal topics for
consideration at the forty-sizth annual convention of the American
Public Health Association which will convene in Chicago December 9,
it behooves all of us to do what we can to prevent as far as possible
the disease getting such another foothod as it had here during the
season Just passed. There is no desire N III part to pose S a alarm
list, but when eminent authorities issue a warning it is only showing
common sense to give it serious consideration.
1t is too late to wait until the epidemic is upon us before taking
action. We all know that disease spreads the more readily where
the vitality of the people is the lowest and there is the least resistance
offered. After the eye opener that Perth Amboy has just had in re-
gard to disease breeding through filth and unsanitary conditions,
poor food and bad milk, there is no excuse for this city being UMPIRE
pared when the next epidemic breaks.
That DIR, Wolfram and others who have been among us recently
have not been deceivlng us when they predicted the return OF the
IS borne out by the statement of members of the American Public
Health Association, which is abolt to convene. This organization is
composed of health authorities from all parts of the United States,
Canada and South America.
I'm an article published in the New York Sun yesterday members
of this association r declared to have said that all the influenza
since 1929 have been recurrent for from two to three years after the
initial outbreak. For this reason leading authorities feel convinced
that the visitation of 1918 will be repeated in 1919 and probably in
1870 Also 1T is pointed out that In previous epidemies the second and
thizd outbreaks have been more virulent and attended by a higher
mortality rate than were the initial manifestations.
1t was early i'll 1918, according to DIR. ". A. Evans, former health
commissioner of Chicago, that the now % called Spanish influenza
made its appearance in Spain. Now Spain is having its second out
break, according to DR.. Evans more virulent in form and attended by
a alarming death rate.
During the three days meeting of the American Public Health
Association the methods used in combating the 1918 epidemic in the
United States VIII be thoroughly considered and plans outlined for
meeting any further emergency. In the meantime it is the duty of the
municipal authorities everywhere to clean up their cities and do what
they can to make the next epidemic as light as possible, and probably
ward it off entirely.
The Board of Aldermen who ar now considering tbe lpdoet for
1919 will do well TO bear in mind the part they have to play IN this
matter. 1t IS for them to make the appropriation for the health de-
partment ample The people of Perth Amboy are in no mood to pass
through next year what they were experiencing six weeks ago merely
Tor the sake of saving a few thousand dollars or in order to keep the
tax rate down a point or two. 4.e..e

Today We Celebrate
The First American Organization OF
Workingmen.

The First American Organization of
Workfngmen.
While separate labor unions had
their beginning in America early in
the last century. the first combine
ton OF societies of woThingmen on
this side OF the Atlantic probably
dates from eighty-five years ago to-
day. when the General Trades-Union
OF the City OF New York" held an or
ganization meeting.
Organization among American Ia
borers began in 1903. when the ship
carpenters and caulkers Of New York
and Boston organized. The tatlors
of New York formed a union the same
year. and 1903 also witnessed the
first industrial strike in America,
when the New York sailors refused
to work.
Before that. however. there had
been labor disturbances among the
bakers OF New York and the boot and
shoe maker OF Philadelphia. 1t was
during the sailors strike of 1903. the
Massachusetts, shipbuilders' strike of
1877. and the Albany printers strike
or 1870 that the term rat ano
-scab- were first used. From local
unions the organisation Of labor pro-
crossed until in 1850 the first inter-
national labor union. that OF the print
ers. was launched. Next Thursday
viii be the s~ixty-eisht birthday OF
the International typographical Union
which. at its birth. comprised four
