STRINGENT HEALTH
RULE ENFORCED BY
SALT LAKE CITY
By International Labor News Service

Rv International Labor News Service
Washington, d. c., Feb. 18.-That
an innovation in public health meas
ures is now being enforced in Salt
Lake City is disclosed by an article
that appears in Venereal Disease In
formation, a magazine published by
the Division Of Yenereal Diseases OF
the United States Public Health
Service. a..
According to this magazine, the
Salt Lake City authorities have been
making a systematic effort to quaran-
tine all men and women found under
circumstances which give rise to q
reasonable suspicion that they have, a
venereal disease. Under this RUE
any situation which will warrant a
reasonable inference that the persons
are engaged in prostitution or pro
miscuity provides legal sanction fof
compelling an examination, and, II an
infection is shown, to establish a
quarantine and enforce treatment.
Both men and women are subject 10
the working Of the measure.
This rule was recently put INTO
effect by the board Of health OF san
Lake City acting in cooperation Win
the Utah State board of health.

FACTORY WORK
STRAIN ON YOUTH
SAYS COUGHLIN

Secretary, Jchn z. Coughlin, Central
Trades and Labor Council, n. y.
says:
That we are driving machinery with
electricity with greater and greater
speed.
That it is a tremendous strain upon
the young workers to watch one single
operation repeated with lightning
rapidity and no variations.
Tha. New York has the best labor
statutes in the country so far as its
women and children are concerned,
and enactment of a fotry-eight hour
law for women and children is all that
is needed to complete this legislation.
That Parochial schools cannot be
touched by the proposed amendment.
That the average manufacturer
north of the Mason and Dixon line
does not want to use child labor, but
is forced to do so when he completes
with Southern mill owners.
1.-THE spirit of play" said Secre-
tary Coughlin, ''is much stronger
among girl and boy workers than the
principle of safety first Almost
every mechanic you meet has lost one,
two or three fingers, and you Will flnd
the chances are he lost them when
boy horse playing around danger
Gus machinery.
"Children are fascinated with the
swift revolutions of piece of machin-
erv and often they cannot resist the
impulse to try to beat the revolutions
only to find their fingers have nos
ben quick enough. II has been found
impraeticable, for instance, to put
boy of sixteen on a lathe because he
cannot resist the temptation to play
with it. As a boy, in spirit Of
bravado, | have walked on narrow
belts high above machinery in motion
where a misstep would have been
fatal. No one who has not observed
boys at work in factory can realize
what fearful chances they take while
attempting to mix play with work.

Organized labor has saved the State

the story;
Within the year the State Building

the bud the scheme OF the American

In desperation, the California firms
that are a part Of the American Ce-

Recently the California Board al
State Harbor Commissioners called
for hids fer cement for nier con

front.
When the bids were opened it Wa

facturer. member Of the American
Cement Trust, had ~ rbd import
ers Of European cement 10 such an ca
tent that by awarding the contract 10
the California cement manufacturer
the State Of California made a saving
Of more than $4,000.
If the State Building Trades Coun.
Gil of California had not successfully
fought the American Cement Trust 10
its endeavors 10 get pfohihllye

American Cement Trust would have
had a monopoly of the cement bust

been In a position where 1t could hsee

That is how and why it is figured

an educational campaign that merits
the attention Of organized labor in

For two months the Minnesota

Owen X. Loveioy. general secretary
of the National Child Labor Commit

dress at Chicago that defeat of ma
tional control Of child labor means
discrediting of State control. Al
ready the eXploiters OF children are

ment and their next step will very
likely be an attack on State child
labor laws.
As Mr.. Lovejoy said:
1.-THE next step is the capitaiza
ton of the defeat Of the amendment
in the adverse States by bringing
about either a lowering Of their nom
inal standards or a laXness Of en-
forcement.
"The trend of child protection,
which was upward while Congress
had power to enact child labor laws

Belmont, Mass, April 7.--After q day which state and town police spent In running possible clues into dead ends. success in the search for the murderer of Alexander Buchan- an, Nova Scotia carpenter and war veteran, depended chiefly on the study of flngerprints on the gas mask which was bound on the yic- tim's head.
 Chloroform enough to kill 25 per- sons had been used In the chemical chamber of the mask which was fastened on Buchanan's head after he had been gagged. the police said. An autopsy revealed no marks of violence. The trail opened by the finger print possibilities is not like. ly to lead to anything definite for several days, the authorities said
 Meanwhile the police will con- tinue to query the numerous girl friends of Buchanan on the chance that they may know of enemies of the dead man.

 San Francisco. April 7.--Toward Oakland the personnel of the con- bined fleet of the United States turned its attack today on its cam- paisn of fHendliness to subjugate the residents Of the San Francisco bay district. .&a
 The "capture' fo San Francisco was assured by the entrance Sunday of the fleet into the bay and yester- days parade. Then the fleet moved on Oakland after night in which the. huge flashlights of the vessels threw spasmodic trails of light Into the sky and blinker lights winked on and off in apparent planning for the assault. E.
 Officers of the fleet were invited 10 be guests of the chamber of com merce at luncheon. V. II. Metcalf. former secretary of the navy, was selected to preside and to "surren- der" the city into the hands of the navy Admiral Robert F. Coontz, commander-in- -chief of the combined fleet, was to respond.
 The final skirmish in the friendly campaign against San Francisco took the form of a dinner rendered the senior officers of the fleet by the Navy League. and the Commercial club. -
 Admiral Robson, chief speaker, convulsed the audience when he re- marked that "We haven't any lady admirais yet, but can foresee the day when lady admirals. will walk the quarterdecks of the flagshlps of American fleets" a''S
 Admiral Robson detailed the benefits accruing from visits of the fleet to foreign lands, remarking that the "mingling of naval officers over the world and the educations they obtain from such mingling rubs the corners off,"

 Tho actionswas promoted by an old California law providing that be- quests to charitable or religious or sanizntions shall not be valid unless the will incorporating them was exc cuted at least thirty days before tho death of the testator. Accordingly the church asks that the 26-day will. which has been admitted to probate and which provides that all previous wills shall be void, be set aside and previous B, will recognized as valid.
