County officials IN NJ counties
in Iowa and 8 counties in Ne
braska have reported to the
University of Colorado that state
hospitals main ntained by the uni
versities in those states have
been of great direct benefit to
their counties. The hospitals in
Iowa and Nebraska are similar
to the proposed General Hospit-
al, for which the University is
now con Quoting q statewide
campaign for e200. 600. and the
reports from these two states are
good in dications of tie results
that may be expected il the pro-
posed new hospital is established
in Colorado.
One of the reports that has q
| special appeal because it illus
irates the relief of suffering
among children, comes from E.
K Allyn. Treasurer of Rlnggold
county, Iowa. He says: THE
benefits to the children are most
noticeable, as many of their de-
fects are corrected by a slight
operation which allows the child
to enter school on rar with
the no: NAL children. These
children are started in this way
to = useful citizenship where
otherwise they would remain a
charge in a needy home and
would, perhaps, eventually be-
come charge on the county OF
state.
II consider the hospital de-
cided success for it reaches wor-

new ORLEANS PORT
is ALMOST CLOSED
Sympathetic Strike of All
Water Front Unions Is
Now On
BY Associated Press

New Orleans, November 26.-Com-
merce in the port of New Orleans re-
manned practically at standstill to-
day as result of the sympathetic
strike of all waterfront unions de-
clared yesterday when the Steamship
Operators association endeayored to
replace striking cotton screwmen
with nonunion workers.
Steamship officials claimed work
was progressing on 10 vessels, while
the union leaders maintained that
only a small number of nonunion
workers had been obtained to replace
the 10000 men out on strike.
Governor Parker will meet with
strikers and ship operators tomorrow
and will decide whether to stand by
his original announcement that he
cannot oficiate as an arbitrator. The
dock board declared it was replacing
the 400 men who walked out at the
public cotton warehouse, and would
continue to operate the warehouse
as an open shop.
The Steamship Operators associa-
ton this afternoon abrogated pro-
posed contract with the longshore-
men for the ensuing year. and in a
statement attacked the striking
screwmen, declaring they were en-
deavoring to limit their daily work to
half the amount they could perform.
