ALL ORIENTALS ARE BARRED Union Men In Pacific Coast Cities Demand the Recognition of Their Organization.

A manifesto issued by the San Die go Free Speech League Is making the fight to spread the open shop propa ganda. The question of higher wages and shorter hours has been eliminated —at least, temporarily, In the North west —by the stand of the strikers on the sole Issue of recognition of the Industrial workers' organization. San Diego has been beset by the free speech agitators since January 1, and the announcement was made that an army numbering 10,000 Industrial workers would mobilize at San Fran cisco, Sacramento and Stockftm and march to the Southern city. San Diego special deputies and cit izens assert they will meet the re inforcements of industrial workers, now headed souhtward, and will drive them back. The struggle in the Northwest cen ters around six thousand striking rail road laborers in Britlfb Columbia, and 14,000 sawmill workers in Southwest ern Waahington. The first atrlke of the Industrial Workers of the World in British Columbia was called late In March, when the laborers on construc tion work on the Canadian Northern railroad quit. Premier Richard Mcßrlde refused to aid the employment of Orientals to take the place of the strikers. The Washington strike began March 15 with a about 1,600 saw mill workers.

At Grays Harbor the employers granted the demands of the strikers for a minimum wage of 12.25 a day. Thla brought the re ply that the workers would demand the recognition of their organisation, regardless of any other grants made by the employers.

It Is reassuring to learn on what appears to be excellent authority that the danger of acquiring tuberculosis through the use of telephones la practically Inconsiderable. Some time ago an Inquiry Into the condi tion of public telephones In this coun try produced only negative results. A further Inquiry of a more elaborate kind has since been made in England and the conclusions are equally en couraging. experlmenta were planned by Doctor S pitta, bacteriolo gist to the king, at the inatance of the postmaater general. First he picked varloua telephones which had been in use for various periods, and having prepared waahlngs from the mouthpieces inoculated a number of guinea pigs to determine the pres ence of tubercle bacilli. The results were in every caae negative. The telephones In this series of experi ments were chosen at random from railway atatlona, meat marketa, post offices and other public places. But Doctor Spitta waa not fully aatlßfled and advised the postmaster general to allow him to undertake further ex perlmenta with telephones used in clusively by consumptive patients. Accordingly telephones were fitted In the wards of a sanatorium and used by patienta in varloua stagea of pul monary tuberculosis. They were nei ther sterilised nor even wiped while in use and at varloua intervala the mouthplecea were removed aad hand ed Over to Doctor Spltta for Investi gation. The experiments were car ried on during the year 1911 and final report has now been published show tag the results were uniformly negative. Doctor Bpltta's conclusion Is "that the transmission of tubercu losis through the medium of the tel ephone mouthpiece la practically Im possible." New York Evening Sun, March 17, ltli.
