BILL FACING
FIRST TEST

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July IS.
The Wagner labor disputes bill
may be invoked in the shirt fac
tory strike here by Mayor E. c..
Dawson for what is believed to
be the bills first major trial,
the mayor said last night.
Mayor Dawson declared that If
the Weinman Company, of Balti-
more, which operates the local
factory, continued to refuse q
hearing to the strikers commit
tee, it would be subject to a Fed
eral fine under provisions Of the
bill.
New Meeting Set
The planned meeting between
Howard T. Colvin, Department of
Labor conciliator, and Morris
Weinman, secretary-treasurer Of
the company, to settle the dis
pute failed to materialize yester-
day. A new meeting date has been
tentatively set for Monday in
washington between Sydney Vein
man, president of the company,
and Mayor Dawson. Company Off
Gals refused to meet in AleXan-
dria.
Last night Mayor Dawson spoke
to Morris Weinman by phone and
requested him to settle the strike
as soon as possible. If Weinman
fails to do this within a short
time, the mayor said, he would
turn the matter over to the Labor
Relations Board in Washington
for Federal action.
The strikers, under the leader
ship of Miss Reba Donald, con-
tinued to picket the plant and de-
clared they would do. so until a
meeting including them is ar.
ranged.
Mayor Gets Report
A report of an investigation of
the plant conducted by Frank
Krush, of the State Labor Depart
ment in Richmond, was sent to
Mayor Dawson today.
Besides condemning alleged "un-
sanitary conditions at the plant,
the report charged there was a
dangerous fire hazard. The State
law provides that when 20 or more
employees work above the first
floor, the building must be
equipped with a fire escape and
outward opening door.
Mr.. Krush in his report, de-
clared the plant had neither, and
requested Mayor Dawson to see
that the plant was not reopened
until the conditions were remedied.

Extreme precautions are being

children are forbidden to attend

figure dropped to nine, but
jumped back again today to 19.
Alum Injected
Preventive treatments given
the monkeys infected with polio
myelitis, the medical term for
infantile paralysis, are extremely
simple. The treatment consists
solely of injections of a solution
of alum into the nostrils. The
nostrils were chosen, the medical
scientists explained, because Of
indications that the nasal mu'
cous membranes constitute one,
and perhaps the most usual,
natural route of infection in polio
myelitis."
Virus for each test was pre-
pared by grinding portions OF
spinal cords from several animals
which had recently died from
the disease. Of % alum-treated
monkeys, subsequently inoculated
with the infantile paralysis germ,
II survived. OF 10 monkeys
which were not given the alum
treatment, and which we're like

ViVed.
May Be Immune
In addition to their higher sur
val rate, the alum-treated animals
which developed poliomyelitiS
tended to develop the disease
after a longer period and the
ailment tended to run a slower
course than was the case with
the monkeys that did not receive
the alum treatment, the doctors
reported.
Eight alum-treated anil m a S
which developed fever survived,
while in the other group all those
developing fever went on to COM
plete paralysis. Among the group
which died, the alum treated ami.
mails tended to develop symptoms
later and to live longer than the
animals which did not receive the
alum treatments. These facts
caused the doctors to make the
following statement:

reports show that nearly as much
money was expended IL Montana by
these tourists in 1885 as Vas expended

state.
In the months Of July. August and

296, 900 persons or more than double

The expenditures for gasoline to

The taxes from this one source
amounted to $1,325,764 This was about
a third of the entire revenue received
