WORKERS HEALTH BUREAU HAS BIG
 SUCCESS IN YEAR
Campaign Against Poisonous Acids and Leads Makes Dent in
 Connecticut

The report of the Workers Health Bureau for the year 1923 was pre- sented before the 50 delegates from seven states gathered together at the 1 second annual convention of \ the Workers Health Bureau The report received the endorsement of the dele gates, who drew up a set of resoIu- tlons based on it and pledged them selves to carry on the fight to protect workers against health exploitation The activities of the Workers Health Bureau for the year 1923 showed these definite services rendered to the trade union movement:
 1. The painters of New York and Connecticut were insured the forty hour week through evidence prepared by the Workers Health Bureau in its report, Health Facts in Support of the Five-Day Week for Painters"
 2. The bureau initiated and actively participated in the campaign to amend the New York state compensation law, and make compensable diseases resulting from exposure to:
 l. Benzol poisoning
 /. Gasoline, benzine, naphtha pois- oning.
 5. Infection or Inflammation due to cutting compounds, dusts or liquids, fumes or gases.
 A. Fumes by chlorine, bromide or iodine derivatives of petroleum pro- ducts, such as T. N. T. 5. Si1icosis or lung injury due to breathing in dangerous silica quartz dust.
 In the usual political shuffe the benefits to the workers were ignored and the bills were lost in the rules committee, but as direct result of the bureaus efforts the state industrial commission appointed a committee to investigate the extent of benzo1 pois- oning and silicosis in New York
 5. The Danbury, Connecticut hat ters, with the scientific information furnished by the Workers Health Bureau, were able for the first time to assist the members of their locals in handling compensation claims, and securing official consideration and at tention. One of the most important results of bringing these cases into the open will be the pressure brought to bear on the labor department for care ful factory inspection in Danbury,

HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS WIN
 PRIZES FOR BEST ESSAYS
 ON IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service.
 Indianapolis, Ind, July 4.-America' s widespread interest in the question of immigration, to which organized labor has devoted much attention, was indi- cated by the great number of essays submitted in the. American Legion 5 l national essay-coRtest on "Why Amer ica Should Prohibit Immigration for Five Years"
 More than 35OO00 high school pu- pills, representing every section of the country, submitted essays in the con test Three prizes, first, .$750; second, $500, and third, $250, were offered by the American Legion for the three best essays. The judges were Raymond F. | Crist, United States commissioner of immigration; W. T. Bowden, assistant commissioner of education, and Will liam Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives.
 The prize winners were as follows: :: First prize, Sara R. Heysham, Y years old, Norristown, Pa; second prize, Florence Sweetman, 16 years old, Rochester, N. Y.; third prize, By ron Hi1l 17 years old, Jackson, Tenn. The first prize essay follows: 4 Why America Should Prohibit Immi-
 grafton for Five Years.
 America has done nobly by the stranger, From the beginning she has been a home for the oppressed. Class distinction, social prejudices, differ ences by birth, religion or ideas have not been erected as barriers. A man was recognized as a man "for a that

 But change has taken place. The character of the immigrant is diff ferent Now more come from south ern Europe. Instead of joining in the conquest of the west they congest our

already over-congested cities. They come without money, without educa- tion and without standards of living. Their ideals of government are alien to our own.
 The problem of our cities, always serious, has become acute since the World War. We are without suffl cient houses for homes, which tends to lower moral standards. Our schools are inadequate to meet the growing numbers, which breeds ignorance, vice and crime. Hudd1ed in districts they live in America as though not sin America. Our laws are ignored and strife is all too common.
 Therefore for the sake of the strangers who come to our shores as we'll as for the best interests of those who are already here and for the well being of our homes and institutions we ought to lock the gates against all strangers for the next five years.
 We owe 1t to the founders of this NepuDlC to guard Ifle lllSItutlOllS dud a1ws we have inherited We have a trust to preserve the Ship of State. To load boat beyond the law of safe ty means the destruction of all.
 We owe it to our homes to see that the moral standards of society are not lowered. To create abnormal conditions that breed immortality Is to jeopardize the family.
 We owe it to the future America to guarantee an intelligent and con tented citizenship Every American child must have an opportunity for education in our public schools. Neith- CT child labor nor ignorance can be tolerated within our borders.
 We owe it to all that Is sacred in life to preserve the religious ideal. Sunday has meaning in our history. Religion and morality" George Wash ington declared to be Indispensable, to prosperity
 To secure these blessings to our selves, to the strangers within our gates and civilization will require just measure of time. Five years of discipline in the life of the nation may mean the salvation of America as we'll as the salvation of the world.

called upon to supply the necessary
 health facts to prove the increased
 danger of poisoning from forcing ,our
 poisonous paint materials under air pressure. The spray gun throws
 poisonous paint spray and fumes in all
 directions, and where the machine IS
 employed the air has been found to
 contain from 2 to 83 times as much lead as would poison a man. The
 spray painting machine may be a time
 saver, but the cost is paid by the
 painter, whose health and life are at stake.
 l 5. The Workers Health Bureau | drew LID a set of minimum health
 standards as basis for negotiations with employers and as a first step in controlling working conditions. Substantial gains have been made by | the painters of New York, after none months negotiations. The health clause in their trade agreement now provides for ventilation and rest per iods, prohibition and regulation of ben zo1 and wood alcohol, and the regula- ton or elimination of other paint ma terials injurious to health. This is the first time in this industry in the United States that health safeguards have been secured by direct negotiations with the employers.
 6. The Workers Health Bureau has been instrumental in revising and in troducing new state regulations gov erning the health and safety of the painters. In Massachusetts, at the re- quest of the state conference of paint CTS. the Workers Health Bureau pre- pared a set of regulations to be adopt ed in the state code. These regula- tions contained special section de- voted to defining protective methods for painters engaged in painting pub lie works and buildings. Dry rubbing down has already been definitely pro hibited. Safeguards won in Massa- chusetts are bound to react to the benefit of the trade in all sections of the country. Uniform health regnla- tions are now being prepared so that they can be adopted in any state of the Union.
 Comprehensive studies of the health problems of the hating industry have been made, showing the effect of mer- cury poisoning, chemical analyses ot dyes used in the hating trade, san1- tary conditions in the shops, and methods for improving these cond1- tions. Similar studies have been made for the painters.
 A comprehensive study of the haz- ards of the glaziers and glass bevelers trade is now being completed, based on the medical records of 200 men exam ined in the journeymen painters and allied crafts health clinic, New York. This is the first study of this industry ever made in this country.
 These are the concrete services rem dered by the Workers Health Bureau to labor. To carry the work forward labor should give the bureau its finan- cia1 and moral support.

omens Increase to Warmer Weather

Signs of spring were prevalent in
Waterville yesterday both on the
street and in the air. A flock of more
than so sparrows were seen by a
citizen circling over the city and
dartihg back and forth in a peculiar
manner. The observing gentleman
that called this to the attention of
the reporter, stated that he thought
this was habit of the birds just be-
fore the winter, breaks. The little
birds were. seen to fly over towards
Winslow and out of sight.
Another omen Of the coming days
is seen each day in the wearing ap-
parel of some OF Watervilles ladies'.
Spring hats! And such hats, too.
Made of straw and prettily trimmed
with bright colored ribbons. These
were seen last week for a few days
but were not noticed much over the
cold snap Of the week end. Yester-
day. however. they made an appear
ance again, signifying perhaps, that
the owners are bound to have warmer
weather. But If weather predictions
are correct. old Prob may have
something to say in regard to this.
