How Hog Cholera Is Controlled.

Through work of the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture 5,500,000
hogs were vaccinated against cholera
n The last year, and the a rage loss
es in cholera-infected herds were re-
duced to less than 13 per cent by the
use of antihog-cholera serum. An
increase of 16S counties working for
hog g-cholera control is considered
notable, there being 467 counties in
the country now engaged In this
work, besides II States in which
activities of this character are con-
Quoted.
Representatives of the Federal de-
partment visited 1850 farms for the
purpose of making Investigations,
diagnosing disease, and giving advice
regarding control and eradication.
Furthermore, 2056 meetings were
attended by 100,19 farmers who
we're interested in the control and
combating Of hog cholera. In addl-
ton, 2,236 cholera-infested farms
were cleaned up and disinfected
under the direction of the Federal
specialists.
In order that only the best anti
hog-cholera serum may be used in
actual field work, rigid inspection OF
all serum is necessary. During the
last IL months, Of the 271,403,53O
cubic centimeters of serum produced
in licensed establishments, 2,4SS,661
cubic centimeters were destroyed as
unfit for use. Similar inspection of
hog-cholera virus was also conducted
for simultaneous use with the serum.

stone and Stag. The rumor that such
advances were contemplated was arous-
ing anxiety in the central west. Under
date Of Jan. 20 the railroad administra-

that building, being a basic industry,
will stimulate general business and IS
therefore, very vital to continued fnan-
cial prosperity. The national economic
loss resulting from the idleness of thou-
sands of men cannot be permitted and
its injurious effects escaped. Present
building costs are not so high that they
equal in the aggregate the wealth the
country loses through the idleness fol-
lowing in the wake of building stagna-
tion. Homes are needed, business quar-
tiers are needed, public works are needed

difficulty owing, principally, TO the I'M
willingness of financial interests to Co
operate in building projects with the
material and labor market in its present
condition. We are working on a total Of
nine industrial projects involving ap-
proximately 5000 workmen's homes, to
be carried out by private interests in
various important industrial centers, but
in each case we are hampered by the
building loan situation. The only def
mite work we expect to carry out with
out delay is located outside OF the United
States"
From st. Louis, Mo, a we'll Unknown
architect writes: II am firmly convinced
that the one thing the building public
wants to know is the cost of building to-
day as compared to the next three to five
years. If they could be assured that the
cost will not drop within that time, there
would be tendency to proceed with the
needed work"
As for the last question the informa-
ton and education service Of the depart
ment of labor, through the division OF
public works and construction develop
ment now is seeking, authoritative in
formation as To what can be expected IN
material prices for the next five years.
While the investigation lacks complete
ness at this time, no definite conclusions
may be stated. Many eminent building
and material authorities, however. insist
that no marked decrease in material
prices may be expected for the next five
years. They assert with some positive
ness that pre-war prices on building
materials will not be re-established for
several years, if ever. These assert that
persons who delay building in the hope
of marked reductions in building costs
probably will be disappointed and will
have denied themselves the use of needed
property and the revenues which would
be derived therefrom.
In response to the department of labor's
inquiry as to future rates on building
and construction materials, the U. S.
railroad administration asserts there is
to be no general 30 per cent advance on

BRITISH UNREST GROWING.
Postal Employees Are Now Getting Into
the Industrial Strife.

London, Feb. l5.-The industrial sit
uation is marking time, pending the
meeting to be held on Tuesday of the
consultative committee of the laborite
triple alliance miners federation,
the railwaymen's union and the trans
port workers federation. At that meet
ing, it is understood, there viii be a dis
clssion of the question of common ac-
ton. The miners federation is thus far
the only union that is committed 10 a
definite course, negotiations regarding
demands of the railway men and the
transport workers being still in progress.
Premier Lloyd George, realizing that
labor troubles may seriously retard ma
tionaI reconstruction and trade develop
ment will probably prolong his stay in
England instead Of returning almost i'm
mediately to Paris.
The latest outbreak of discomfort is
among the employees Of the postOfiice and
the telegraph and telephone services. At
a meeting held here last evening, reso-
lutions were passed demanding the i'm
mediate converting of a congress of en-
ployes to formulate demands for higher
wages and better working conditions for
submission to the postmaster general.
Speakers said strike might be Hcces-
sary if the demands were not granted
and cooperation with the miners, rail
waymen and transport workers to en-
force claims was foreshadowed
Shipbuilders and engineers at Mersey-
side have voted by a big majority
against striking to enforce reduction
in working hours. The men favor re-
naming at work, pending negotiations.
