Fear Epidemics
in Eastern Europe
Due to Russ Famine

Washington, Mar. 2O-The danger
10 eastern Europe from epidemics
attendant upon prevalence of famine
in Russia lis rapidly becoming ser
ious." according to report COM
piled by the League of Health com
mittee. The committee declared the
entire frontier zone between Soviet
Russia and the Ukraine on one hand
and Central Europe on the other is
less prepared to withstand the prob
able shock of epidemics than 1t has
been for several years.
The situation is gradually becom-
ing more grave. the committee HAS
found, and predicts its elimination
when tho famine reaches its crisis,
probably in April.
The threat of disease to Eastern
Europe was said to be due, first, to
the tremendous waves of migration
caused by tie flight of peasants from
the famine stricken areas toward dis
tricts where food production is pos
sible and. second, to mass repatria-
ton OF hundreds of thousands OF
Poles and others who We're dislodGed
from their homes during the great
retreat of 1915. While exact figures
were not available. it was estimated
that Just inside the Russian frontier
no fewer than 10000 caravans arc
concentrated some of them having
been on the march for four or five
months. Through ono quarantine
station. Baranowicz. 301 ,2S1 refugees
passed between March and December
1921.
The greatly increased repatria-
ton vas said to have resulted in a
break in the Polish sanitary Gordon
with the result that typhus has
spread farther west than ever before,
even reaching Lithuania and East
Prussia. The famine, however, is now
known to have spread into the most
fertile districts of the Ukraine.
The Polish government has named
a former prime minister as special
rcparation commissioner. while the
city of Warsaw has appointed an eN-
traordinary cpidemiCs commissioner.
The epidemics commission of the
League of Nations is also cooperat-
ing to strengthen the sanitary cor
son. and a conference is now in ses-
sio under call of the Polish govern
ment and under auspices OF the
league in the effort to coordinate
the preventative measures of all the
states contingent upon Russia.

Says Textile
Struggle Will Be
Long One in n. Eng.

Lowell, Mass, March 26-That the
textile wage fight is just beginning
and that no serious attempts to settle
the controversy viii come before
June: that the workers as financially
situated at present can hold out for
three months without feeling the
pangs of hunger; that the manufac-
tuners plea of southern competition
IS but "a subtcrluge to destroy labor
organization because in reality the
wage difference between south and
north is but Sc cents per week and
that the United Textile Workers Of
America are willing at any time to
abide by the finding of board COM
posed OF representatives of manufac-
tuners, workers and the governor, was
the substance Of speech made here
this afternoon by Thomas + McAla-
hon. international president of the
United Textile Workers of America.
IL believe" said. Mr.. McMahon,
that the New England textile wage
fight is only in its beginning. I look
forward to the first Of June before
any serious attempt at settlement
will come. The fight will be long
ono and as We are situated now we
can struggle for three months with
out any worker feeling the pangs of
hunger"
During the coming week" he con-
tinued, eve shall run newspaper ad-
vcltiscmcnts giving tho facts in con-
ncction with the bung a boo of
southern competition. The plea that
the mills in the north cannot COM
pete with those Of the south is merely
Il subterluce to destroy organized Ia
Dor. ! Will tell YOU why.
IN July. 1914. the average weekly
wage in the south was $40. At the
same time the average wage in %he
north WAS S9o2. Then the nortn
worked 81 hours as compared with 81

age wage in the south is $685. anG
in massachusetts it is SSH. Thu,
there is q difference Of only &c cents
Now If tho manufacturers are really
anxious to settle this matter let them
name an accountant and we'll name

cGtcd party appointed by the governor
can examine the books and so help

Mr.. Gompers asserted that control
Of the mines was thus taken Ito an

Coal mines have become merely,

are manipulated so as to appear

Comparing cotton wages in the
north and south Mr.. Palmer quoted

pion the reinstatement of August

from the union through the influence
of Robert P. Brindcll. imprisoned
leader of the building traces coun-
Gil.
Brindell's friends i'll the audience
resented the attorneys "interfcr-
ence" and interrupted him frequent
~ with a vile epithet. Mr.. Inter
myer, however, held his ground in
the face of boisterous hostility. He
warned the union me mbers to shake
off "Brindellism'' for the good of
themselves and the public. At the
height of the confusion reporters
were excluded from the meeting.
When Mr.. Untermyer left the
meeting, he remarked that "Brin-
dells influence is not dead" but
claimed that he had gained a partial
victory, as the union had adopted Il
resolution RENTING Holdstrom's fine
and permitting him to join any of
the other II similar unions in the
city.
Mr.. Cntermyer had announced his
purpose Of attending the meeting
was to find out if the union is still
controlled by Brindel from his cell
in Sing Sing prison." He had scarce
ly started to speak. when many of
the union men began to boot and
shout at him. He won by narrow
margin when a vote was taken to de-
| eide if he should continue.
1T was quite evident" Mr.. Inter
myer said afterward that it was a
Brindell packed meeting. The key
note Of the whole assemblage was
one of friendship to Brindell. They
took the position that they did not
care how much Brindell got from the
contractors. 1 pointed out to them,
however. that he had even depleted
their own treasury"
Mr.. Tntermyer opened his address
with an attack on Brindell, whose
conviction for eXtortion grew out OF
the Lockwood committees housing
