CITY CLEANUP WORK
COSTS $500 TO DATE
Health Boards Warns Against
Cluttering Up Properties
Once Cleaned.

Despite the fact that William NJ
Francis, acting for p. s. du Pont who
is financing the project, has been
spending much money and giving en-
ployment 10 hundreds OF 1obless men
in this city by cleaning up back yards
and vacant lots through the south
western section OF the city. IL develop
ed today that in several localities
where the cleanup squads have made
everything spick and span the resi-
dents are beginning all over again 20
clutter up and befoul with rubbish the
very properties that have been rem
novated This is being done despite
notices that have been posted on such
lots by the Board OF Health warning
that IL Is against the law 20 do this
and that penalty of S. is provided
for every offense OF the kind
There is a city ordinance prohibit
ing the dumping OF rubbish, garbage
or refuse an any vacant lot about
town and a penalty IS specified for
each and every violation and the
Board OF Health has been trying to
enforce this law wherever the clean
up squads have been at work. The
notices posted have been intended TO
keep the vacant lots clean once they
have been rid OF their accumulated
filth for the health authorities are
anxious that the money being spent
on this campaign viii not have been
wasted.
However It has been found that on

done, old beds, boilers. tin cans. ashes,
waste paper and worse filth has been
thrown within a day or two after
the cleanup squads had, done their
work there. Those responsible for
this gross negligence will be prosecut-
ed II discovered but the health au-
thoriues admit the difficulty OF detec-
tion in cases Of the kind
Mr.. Francis this morning paid OFF
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday.
This expenditure brought the total
amount Of money he has paid out 10
the unemployed engaged on this work
up 10 $1,000 TO date. Today he put
105 new men on the Job. They had
five trucks and six foremen directing
the work. The present operations are
being carried on south OF Delaware
avenue and West from Washington
street TO the city line. All the men
employed today were secured from the
Federal Employment Bureau. They
will work today and tomorrow and on
Saturday win be paid Off and on Mon
day another gang will be engaged.
The cluttering up OF the lots al
ready cleaned has been found by
some of Mr.. Francis men who went
back to look at them and discovered
the new piles or dirt on them.

RAILROAD ORDERS TO

This Year in Improv-

Almost simultaneously with the an

sition 20 know. that from all indica-
tions the spring and summer Of 1922
Will see big change for the better
In general living and employment

that the railroads OF the United States
plan 10 expend during the year, for
maintenance Of their properties and
facilities, about s450. .000, 900 more than
they spent for the same purpose last
year. The work planned will provide
labor for many thousands.
The work that the railroad com
panies plan 20 have done during the
coming months IS the result. IL is
said, OF a vast increase In business.
Tens OF thousands Of freight cars are
awaiting heavy repairs and there is
a lot OF other all-around track and car

OF the total 10 be expended will 10 for

WAGES MUST Be CUT
Roads Must Cooperate In Re-
adjustment, WaIber Empha-
sizes to Labor Board.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Chicago. March S.--1'he public gen
orally, Including wage earners In other
industries, should not be called upon
to pay transportation charges based
on an inordinatoly high level OF rail-
road wages, John G.. Waiher, execu-
tive secretary OF the Bureau of fnfor-
nation for the Eastern Railroads, said
today before the L. S. Railroad Labor
Board. which is considering the petit
lions OF these railroads and other car
riers. for wage reductions among rail-
road workers.
1T was natural" he said, that the
manufacturers and other representa-
tives' of the shipping public should feel
that as their industries had been
undergoing tho process OF readJust-
ment. and as the railroad industry was
still operating on the basis OF war time
costs. plus the increase i'm the cost OF
their labor resulting from decisions
OF the Labor Board. that the railroad
industry should also contribute toward
the readjustment.
The interests OF the employees" he
said. ARE not opposed 10 the inter-
ests Of the railroads / represent. The
prosperity OF these workers Is inter-
woven with and dependent on the sue
cess OF the railroad business itself. So
long as wages must be maintained on
a war time level the railroads will be
prevented from adjusting their condi-
lions TO the peace time basis. and If
their income Is absorbed by such war
time scales Of pay. IL necessarily fol-
lows that corresponding reductions
must be made in the working forces.
We submit that 1t is TO thefgreater
interest OF the railroad employees and
the public in general that the employees
will be placed on a basis which will
permit OF working the maximum
forces. so providing employment for
the greatest numbers. increasing con-
suming public and contributing to the
general revival OF business.
Although the reduction in the cost
Of living from May /, 1920, to July /,
1921, was approximately 20 per cent.
as indicated by governmental and
other statistics, yet the reduction in
wages effective July /. 1921, was ap-
proximately IL per cent"
