Stringent \ Health Rule Enforced By
 Salt Lake City

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.-That al innovation in public health measures is now being enforced in Salt Lake City is disclosed by an article that appears i., Venerea1 Disease Information, naga- zine published by the Division of Ve- nereal Diseses of the United States Public Health Service.
 According to this magazine, the Salt Lake City authorities have been making systematic effort to quarantine all men, and women found under circu,e- stances which give rise to reasonable suspicion that they have venereal venereal disease. Under this rule, any situation which will warrant a reason able inference that the persons are en- gagged in prostitution or promiscuity pro vides legal sanction for compelling ar, examination, and, if an infection is. shown, to- establish a quarantine and enforce treatment Both men and wo- men are subject to the working of the measure.
 This rule was recently put into effect by the board of health of Salt Lake City acting i'll cooperation with the Utah State board of health.

,mment and Criticism About Things
 Doing in the World.

From Texas comes story indicating that there is plenty of opportunity for reform in the conduct of the States prisons.
 The story was told by Dr. E. H. Boaz, of Memphis, Tex, a former prisoner, who unfolded before legislative corn- mittee a tale of barbaric brutality, ac- counting for the deaths of four pri,- oners. The death of prisoner tranpled under the feet of a guard formed the peak of Dr. Boaz's story of cruelty. Others who met death, according to tl,e witness, were man who bled to death as a result of mistaken operation" a second who was poisoned and third whose neck was broken when a guard struck him with an.iron singletree Dr. Boazs testimony was verified in part by officials.
 Dr. Boaz's testimony was an astound- ing story, coming from State that brides itself on being shining light il a supposedly Christian and civilized na. ton. Evidently there is lot of clear up'' work ahead of Governor Ma Ferguson, who announced she was going to 'clean house" when she became Gov ernor of Texas If she acts promptly and decisively to remedy the etvils that have just been exposed, she will win the appreciation of all who believe in fair play for convicts and in an enlightened and humane prison system
 The Minnesota State Federation of Labor, in conjunction with the Label l Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, is engaging for all educational campaign that merits the at tention of organized labor in every State.
 | For two months the Minnesota Stat. Federation has been holding meetings all over Minnesota. Free moving pie ture are shown and between the reels 20-minute talks on the trade union move ment and its aims and achievements are i given The names of those attending are secured and the names are turned over to central bodies to help in organi- zation work. The meeting have been successful and have resulted in a quick ening of interest in trade unionism and in union label products.
 The work done in Minnesota can no: help but be productive of good. It Is carrying the message of unionism to the people and is helping to dispel pre- judice and promote intelligent interes: in economic organization.
 Owen K. Lovejoy, general secretary .of the National Child Labor Committee, counded timely note of warning when he declared in recent address at Chi. cago that defeat of national control Of child labor means discrediting of Stat. control. Already the exploiters of chil- dren are taking heart from the defeat in several States of the Child Labor Amendment and their next step will i very likely be an attack on State child l labor laws
 As Mir. .Lovejoy said:

 Organized labor has saved the State of California more than S7O,OW in the construction of pier on the San Fran cisco waterfront Here is the story:
 Within the year the State Building Trades Council of California nipped in the bud the scheme of the American Cement Trust to have a prohibitiye tariff placed on foreign cement
 In Desperation, the California firms that are part of the American Cement Trust cut the price of their products to a figure below the minimum price asked for foreign cement.
 Recently the California Board of State Harbor Commissioners called for bids for cement for pier construction on the San Francisco waterfront.
 When the bids were opened 1t was found that a California cement manu- facturer, member of the American Ce- nent Trust had underbid importers Of European cement to such an extent that by awarding the contract to the Cali. fornia cement manufacturer the State of California made saving of more than $7O,OoO
 If the State Building Trades Coun- ell of California had not successfully fought the American Cement Trust il it's endeavors to get prohibit1ve tariff placed on foreign cement, the America I Cement Trust would have a monopoly of the cement business in this country, and would have been in position where it could have held up the State of Cali. fornia and all other consumers of ce ment.
 That is how and why it is figured that organized labor saved the State of Cal ifornia more than, $7O,OOO in the con struction of pier on the San Francisco waterfront
