CAMPAIGN ON INFLUENZA.

Closing up town is an ineffective way of fighting an
epidemic of sickness The Oregonan this morning editor
ay takes the same position the Capital Journal has taken
right along in regard to stamping out the influenza cpl
demic whenit says:
"he Oregonian thinks it is high time to organize and
wage more effectual campaign against the influenza 1t
should be carried into every household and it should be
supported by every citizen 1t is futile to shut up the
town. or close down business stop public congregations
for has been tried and has not stopped the epidemic,
"But it is not futile and it will be helpful and prob
ably effective if quarantine that quarannes is esab
shed The present quarantine is not adequate perhaps
because the health department has not the force to make
itso.
"The mayor is urged to consider the plan OF calling
to his aid the most competent and orcefu physician in
the city with the purpose and courage to do his duty and
to put in his hands the quarantine campaign.
"Let him have an adequate force. Let the city be
divided into districts as in other campaigns, and let all
houses where there is influenza be isolated and the in
mates with it, Let there be systematic patrol and let
all egress and ingess to such places be stopped except
upon written authority Of the city, acting through its Off
cal agency Let there be system OF daily reports from
all physicians
There is no occasion for panic for it is evident that
the percentage Of mortality is lower than formerly In
other words the present form of the disease is mder But
there are nevertheless too many deaths and in matter OF
life and death all other problems are unmportant"

Federation OF Labor Makes
Agreement With Company

Washington, Jan. 9.-The metal
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor tdoay announced
it had made an agreement with the
Bethlehem steel corporation. "Under
this agreement the Unions are recog-
nized as representing the employees"
the American Federation Of Labor
stated, ''and have appointed commit
tee of five and THESE committees will
will represent the 13 unions involved.
The company who appoints commit
tee of five and thes committees will
jointly consider matters rising out of
the agreement. This agreement great
ly simplifies the relations between
employer and employee and is a distinct
departure from any existing procedure.
1t is the first step taken on any large
scale to link up the shop committee
with the International unions and is
likely to be extensively followed.
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company is
the owner of the Squantum and Fore
river plants at Quincy Mass, the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco, the
Sparrows Point plant at Baltimore, the
Harlan Plant at Wilmington, Del the
Moore Plant at Elizabeth, N j., and
various smaller plants, altogether en-
ploying 10000 men. sIt is believed
that the arrangement will create that
degree of cooperation so necessary to
successful management.
