WAGE LAW VIOLATOR
TO FIGHT JAIL TERM
tsy Ohio Labor News service)

Columbus, Ohio.-Mrs. Marie Amo-
rose, owner of chain of dry cleaning
establishments in several central Ohio
cities, last-week became more entan-
gled than ever before with the law
she has thumbed her nose at con-
sistently for some time past-the
minimum wage law for women and
minors.
Scheduled to appear in Columbus
municipal court to pay a $100 fine
after a Today Jail term had been
suspended, Mrs. Amorose failed to put
in her appearance until after court
adjourned.
When she did arrive, she was hur-
ried to a Jail cell on order of Judge
Fred j. Miller, who revoked the jail
sentence probation after earlier hear
ing woman in court on another
charge testify that she was employed
by Mrs. AMBROSE for so hours week
at wage below the minimum speci-
fled by the mandatory order in effect
in the dry cleaning industry.
Mrs. Amorose remained in Jail until
her two attorneys were able to free
her two days later on $500 bond, pend
ing hearing September 26 on habeas
corpus proceedings in common pleas
court.
In the meantime, Municipal Judge
Francis P Howard ordered her into
court to show cause why he should
not revoke probation on two other
charges of violating the minimum
wage law on which she had appeared
before him some time ago,
After listening to conflicting testi-
mony of witnesses, some of whom said
they did not object to the low wages
being paid, Judge Howard ordered
Mrs. Amorose's payroll records be
brought into court and continued fur
ther hearings until September %.
Mrs. Amorose has been denounced
and rebuked, fined and sentenced to
Jail by Columbus and Dayton police
court judges, but goes on her way,
not so merrily at the present time,
refusing to abide by the minimum
pay regulation for the industry under
which she operates
Citing her disregard of the law as
direct result of leniency shown min
imum wage law violators brought
into court, delegates to the Columbus
Federation of Labor unanimously
adopted resolution urging Columbus
municipal court judges and the police
prosecutor to Cooperate to the full
est extent of the law" with the min
imum wage division of the Depart
ment of Industrial Relations in prose-
cutting cases brought before them.

(This is one of a series of articles
being presented by the Butler County
tuberculosis and Health Association
in it's fight against tuberculosis in
Butler County)
tuberculosis runs in families. "
Yet it is not Inherited 1t runs in
families because children catch the
disease from an older member of the
household who has it.
The specific cause of tuberculosis
is a germ. If a few tuberculosis
germs get into healthy body, no
harm is likely to result because the
body fights back. But if one lives
daily with a careless person who has
the disease, the danger is great. Kiss
ing, coughing, and splitting may be
the means of spreading tuberculosis
germs. Anything which has touched
the sick persons lips may have germs
on it. The opportunities for Zip con
tact" in a home are numerous.
The modern doctor, therefore, ad-
vises that every member Of the fam
lily in which there is, or has been, a
case of tuberculosis, should be ex-
amined. Often he discovers that one
or more of the children already have
the germs in their bodies Such chill
dren are usually at the edge of the
danger zone. They can be saved if
they are protected against further
infection.
But tuberculosis can also be brought
into the home. The danger of get
ting tuberculosis from casual meet
ing with other people is slight. Yet
repeated contacts with those who
have the disease may be enough to
overcome the resisting power of the
body. Constant dripping wears away
the stone. In the workshop, the Of
flee, the lunch room, there are such
opportunities for close and repeated
contact. Young people are often
careless about avoiding close con
tact. Children don't know how to
protect themselves.
1t may happen, too, that a single
contact with a person who has the
disease is enough to cause serious
infection. A visitor to the home, for
example, who kisses the children, may
plant the seeds of tuberculosis in
that home.
No home is safe until every home
is safe BY its own efforts a family
cannot fully protect itself. But by
joining with all other families in the
community every home can be made
safe against tuberculosis.
It's up to you. Do your bit. Pro
tect your own home; help your neigh
Dor to protect his. Back up your
school in its plan to make tuberculin
tests of the children. Support your
health officer and your public health
| nurses. know ana help your SdHd-
torium, working to protect youl
home. And help your tuberculosis

NO WAR BOOM BIG
ENOUGH TO PUT
ALL idle TO WORK
View OF Col. F. C. Harrington, Works
Projects Commissioner.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-It is
too early to make definite predictions
as to the effect of the European war
upon unemployment here, Col. F. C.
Harrington, works projects commits
sioner, said in an address broadcast
from Washington
Harrington warned against over
optimism regarding a boom in the
United States resulting from the war
and asked business and industry not
to ask the w. P A. to dismiss any
more workers because of predicted
jobs to come from the conflict.
"Since the beginning of this calen-
dar year." he said, "the w. P. A. rolls
have been reduced by total of a mil
lion, three hundred thousand. This
was done in the expectation by Con-
gress of sufficient improvement in
private business to absorb these work
ers, There has been some improve
ment in business, but certainly no
boom. In fact, private employment
is not very much higher than it was
in January l,
s Million Still Idle
every year about 100000 young
workers enter the labor market in
excess of those older workers who
leave the labor market. Right now,
in addition to the approximately two
million W. p A. workers, there are al
most eight million unemployed work
ers available for private industry.
"If this nation, as we all hope, keeps
out of the war, our present unem-
ployment of ten millions may be re-
duced next summer by one-sixth or
even one-fourth. This still leaves US
with very large number of unem-
ployed."
The w. P. A. commissioner warned
also against the economic conse-
quences of the war.
Must Strengthen IT, S. Economy
at ought to be clear" he declared
"that we cannot found our American
prosperity on the tragic sufferings of
a European war. We should rather
seek to protect our economy from the
inevitably disastrous consequences of
that war. 1t will be followed by pro-
found economic disorder in Europe,
and perhaps by economic collapse.
The more we rely on war business to
help us, the more serious will be the
economic dislocation in this country
when that war business suddenly
stops.
"Our American economy needs to
strengthen its own basis right here
at home We need to continue the
work we have begun, and in which we
have made good progress in the last
seven years-that of creating a sound
national economy in which there are
fair wages, fair prices and fair prof
its. 1t is in this direction that true
prosperity lies"

STRESSES DANGER
 IN WATER SUPPLY
Director of State Bureau Warns Consumers of
 Water From Wells

Despite the fact that existent public supplies provide water for over 82 per cent of the population of the state, there are still 25 to 30 thousand families dependent on private supplies from wells or springs, Warren J. Scott, director, bureau of sanitary engineering, dis closed in the weekly broadcast of the state department of health. During vacation periods, the num- Der of wells in use in summer colo nies runs into the thousands, MT. Scott stated in calling attention to the importance of proper location and protection of these sources of watersupply.
 Contaminated water may cause water-borne disease ranging from minor intestinal upsets to such serious diseases as typhoid fever and since pollution may travel long dis tances, 1t was stressed that seldom is 1t desirable to locate wells or springs nearer than 50 feet to near by possible sources of pollution and usually 1t Is preferable to leave sep aration of 100 feet.
 In this connection, MT. Scott add ed, ground water supplying wells and springs usually have the same direction of travel as the downward slope from sewage disposal systems. Septic tanks do not purify sewage but simply remove and digest some of the solids, he emphasized III calling attention to this potential source of danger.
 To aid in the proper location and construction of wells, pamphlet on Private Water Supplies" is avail able upon request to the Connecti- cut state department of health In Hartford, MT, Scott said.
