MAYOR URGES
 RETURN TO 5 GENT CARFARE

Urging a return to the five cent fare for Bridgeports trolley transporta. ton and repeating his former state ment that if the trolley could not give the people of the city transportation at the price they wanted to pay. the system that uld-buses-shouid be provided, Mayor Clifford B. Wilson in concise statement to the Common Council last night urged an immediate hearing before the Public Utilities Commission. The mayor acted in cially appointed aldermanic commit tee on transportation, demanding that the Council act with him to ask for the hearing on five cent fares without delay.
 No report was brought in by the miscellaneous committee last night on the request of the Bridgeport Hydrau- lie company that the city join in the
 petition to the Utilities Commission for increase in the minimum rate af- fecting the large users of water in the city. The only development in the situation as regards the water troduced to change the hearing set by the Commission at Hartford for the 10th of October to take place
 in this city instead. The petition
 must be signed, according to law, by 25 interested parties
 A resolution to call upon the Gas company for a reduction in rates was introduced by Alderman Kisco, who stated that when the rates were rals- ed the excuse given for the increase was the high price of coal. The al- derman maintained that now that coal has dropped the rates should be reduced again. The matter was re-
 ferred to the miscellaneous commit tee

The denials, it was as- serted, long before the strike were based on the reasoning that meetings would lead to unions, unions would lead to strikes, and strikes to vio- lence; therefore meetings should be prohibited.
 After describing certain peaceful .assemblages of strikers after the strike started. the commission said:
 That the claim of the public of ficials of Pennsylvania that meetings of strikers must be prohibited in or der to avoid disorder and violence was not borne out by the facts is even more clearly brought out by a survey of the strike districts in the states of commisisons representatives during the tenth and eleventh weeks of the strike''

 Strikers Homes Destroyed.
 After the strike began, the commits sion said, the rights of the strikers were invaded by wholesale raidin 2 and arresting on fimsy and no public ly recored charges The affidavits charged a long list of acts of ''un- warranted search and destruction in strikers homes." Wholesale and in dividual clubbings, principally by ihe state constabulary,, were detailed, and it was charged that the court ,neted out fines to the strikers wnen they would not go back to work.
 State Police TrampIed Flag.

 Referring to the situation at New Castle, the commissions report said Unlike the other towns In Western Pennsylvania, the terrorizatiol here was done entirely by the hired guards of the companies, while Fthe state police behaved with fairness and, ac- cording to report, arrested a number of deputies. The number of people deputized varies from the strikers estimate of 1900 to the admission of Sheriff Boyd, of Lawrence county, that he had deputized over 500 men "265 members of the Board of Trade and the rest eX-soldiers," in addition 1 to the police sworn in under the "coa1 and iron police.''

The representa- tives of the Connecticut company who appeared at the hearing. stated that the Connecticut company would not operate on a five cent fare.

 MALARIA PREVENTION-II.
 For those interested in the health of industrial camps, GorgaS made eX- ceedingly pregnant observations; in and about the Canal Zone 50,OOO la borerS and their families were scat tered over 500 square miles, though they were collected principally in some 40 camps or villages along the line sof the canal; these 500 square miles were divided into 2 districts, all under a chief sanitary inspector, with the necessary clerical force, and three assistants. of whom one was especially wise in mosquito lore; the second expert in ditching, draining, tilling,. etc.; the third a competent executive Each one of the IT dis tricts had its district inspector, who had from 40 to 50 1aborers to do the the necessary draining; carpenters to keep the screens in repair; and one or two quinine dispensers, who went about urging, though not compelling, employees to take three-grain pills as prophylactlc preventive doses. The district inspector reported daily to the central office the number of malaria cases and the number of employees among whom the patients lived. Each inspector was held responsible for any excess malaria in his district. If the admission rate for malaria dur ing the week rose above one and a half per cent. something was consid- cred wrong, and the assistants to the chief sanitary inspector were sent to discover the cause. These assistants were, moreover, kept constantly busy over the work, advising and instruct ing the district inspectors. Herein Gorgas found the gist of the whole situation; the district inspector and the working force, having usually no special knowledge of mosquito life and habits, had to be constantly un- der the surveillance and supreme control of the sanitary officer and his trained, scientific assistants, who were then held responsible.
