YELLOW FEVER HERE
Relief Committee Shows Receipts
Although Forty Years Since
Epidemic.

Though Pensacola is absolutely free
from yellow fever now and has been
for some time past, the older residents
can recall times of the yellow fever
scares" when people would run from
their houses in a panic even leaving
lamps burning on the tables when the
Gordon OF quarantine was being placed
All who could would make their exc
dus from tho city to stay away until
the danger was past. At that time
the city had less than a 10000 popula-
tion and no effective measns had been
used for the prevention of the recAr-
renee Of the yellow peril"
Such an epidemic of yellow fever
was declared in the city in July, 1882.
80 years ago. Trying to meet the sit
uation six citizens formed themselves
into a relief association TO go as long
as they were able and to wait on each
other if they should be stricken. They
had no funds but when it became
known that there was relief COM
mittee functioning money and provis-
ions were soon being generously Of
fered.
During that epidemic there was a
total. Of 2.s00 cases of the fever and
d total of 40 deaths. The, relief COM
mittee on which were J. N. Andrews,
c. r. Shackelford, Jacob Kryger a.
Booske and III. G. Cushman, received
the contributions for relief Of the suf-
ferers. kept a record of each one and
kept stubs of orders given showing an
itemized statement of how each sum
Of money was expended, for whom and
by whose authority.

The one big railroad union. which
heads of the unauthorized strike
movement of a year ago are organ
izing. has found considerable support
among the trainmen, according to
John Graudens, chief OF the "out-
law" organization.
With the strike vote of the four
large brotherhoods progressing and
the vote of 100000 shop workers
favoring a strike already in. the
railroad unions will present a united
front within two weeks, according
to prediction OF their leaders today.
The union leaders declare the men
might accept the wage reduction of
"a per cent which became efrec-
tive on July 1, provided they had
not become dissatisfied also on other
questions These included:
Refusal Of some railroads to meet
with men to draw up working agree
ments covering the entire system.
Placing of some railroad shops in
hands of local business men. thus
escaping Jurisdiction of the United
States Railroad Labor Board.
REFUSAL OF some railroads to abide
by the boards decisions.
Adjustment of overtime nav for
Sunday work for shopmen except IN
emergency cases.
The Labor Board is stiu consid-
ering the decision II will make on
the appeal of the big four brother
hoods for time and a half for all
overtime 1t has before it the an
peal made by the Pennsylvania Rail
road from its decision on workina
rules
The railroad managers profess te
believe the railroad unions viii moi
strike They do not believe they will
walk out because of the present EN-.
ployment conditions. With five mil
lion men out OF work they claim i
would be easy TO hire men to Al
many of the strikers places
A strike of railroad men would no
have the public support, railroa,
managers claim. because of the man,
privations which the public woul,
suffer. The railroad heads evel
claim that a strike would not fin,
fun support in the union member
ship. due to the fact that the cut Ii
wages has not been as great as tn
increase of a year previous and tn
unions have no outstanding principl
on which to base their walkout.

crease; nails. so per cent increase in
1921.
It is our belief that the unwilling
ness or inability of local financial
Institutions to adopt the so per cent
financing plan in Wilmington. such
as is operative and so beneficial In
Philadelphia. together with the re-
luctance Of local banks to cooperate
by placing mortgage loans, all milf
tate very strongly against develop
ment of local building. We believe
that we have reached. with the ex-
ceptions noted above, the lowest level
in material and labor costs which
we may expect for at least two or
three years. especially in view of the
present situation as above noted.
While we have secured and tabu-
lated quite a number of detailed
prices. we do not feel that these have
a proper place in this general re-
port, hence are confning ourselves
to the tables given above.
Your committee finds that in the
majority of cases where either labor
or material is concerned, each has
made as great reductions this yeai
as reasonably as could have beer
expected, with, of course, the ex'
ceptions previously noted. That in
asmuch as both of these major con
ditions have been remedied as far
as possible by local firms and indi
viduals interested. It Is but reason
able to hope that the public will
meet them halfway. and resume
operations in order to stimulate
business, help in solving the housing
problem and the rent situation.

Gentlemen
Your Building Readjustment Com
mittee herein submits its report and
hands you the minutes of its meet
ings. also its findings and recon-

In the first place. II should be
remembered that the figures con-
tained in the attached report are
based entirely upon testimony and
statistics given and submitted to this
committee during the period of its
Investigations. which ended several
weeks ago, (the Intervening time
being consumed in compilation). and
that since these hearings were ended
there has developed a decided ten
dency on the part of many interests
concerned to operate on more reas.
enable cost levels. This applies
both to material and labor interests
While the testimony and figures
received by your committee show
decided reductions over previou.
costs, experience since the hearing.
we're concluded indicate additiona
reductions OF a temporary nature
This is in great measure due e
the fact that there are still availabl,
large manufactured stocks in GER
tain lines which press of circum
stances momentarily is forcing OF
the market, and, in addition, there 4
now a surplus of skilled and com
mon labor, all OF which creates
situation which gives the consume
every advantage should he procee,
with contemplated building opera
tions in the immediate future.
This committee has been hamper
ed to a considerable extent through
its inability to secure comparativ
reports and records in several classe
of building materials; but, notwith
standing this, comparison of avail

Plasterers 22.3 per cent increase
in 1921.
We invite attention 70 the fact
that there is but one class Of build
ing tradesmen which has increased
its wage rates in 1921. in the face
OF reductions in all other lines. and
despite the demand for such defia-
tion as would stimulate building con-
struction. This is the plasterers, who
have raised their wage rate 22.3 per
cent over the 1920 scale The fol-
lowing have not contributed at all
