Conditions Among
Chemical Workers
Indescribably Vile
ROOSEVELT, N. J., Feb. It.-Uving
conditions among the laborers at the
plants of the American Agricultural
Chemical company were denounced as
"Indescribably vUe" by Dr. Max Jacoby,
a local phyalolan. In testimony today be
fore the state legislative committee which
Is Investigating the causes of the strike
at the plants here last month and the
shooting of strikers by deputy sheriffs.
Disease was rampant, he said, and
malaria and tuberculosis so common that
it did not even ecclte pity. The chemical
fumes in which the men worked weak
ened the throat, lungs and intestines so
that they became susceptible to disease,
he said.
"Men and women die from tuberculosis
right along, after exposing others to It,"
said Dr. Jacoby.
"Uttle attention," the witness said,
"was paid to sick children, and physi
cians were seldom summoned except
when a child waa dying, and then more
to insure a proper death certificate than
with any hope of saving the lire of a
child."
Children' were horn. Dr. Jaooby as
serted, amid conditions indescribable for
their filth and sordldness. Large families
lived tn three or four small rooms, with
some times three and four beds in each
room, with no ventilation nor privacy.
'No man could support a wife and
family on the wages they had been get
ting." declared the witness. "Almoat
every family had to keep boarders tn or
der to exist The general conditions led
to much Immorality."
Oil Cargo Intended
for Government of
'. Bulgaria is Seized
WASHINGTON, Feb. !. The Standard
Oil company today reported to the State
department the detention at Malta by
British authorities of the British steamer
Oneka, which sailed from New York,
January 2, laden with Its cargo of Amer
ican oil, part of which waa destined for
'Dedeagatch, Bulgaria. The oil company
contends that the oil billed to Bulgaria
was for the Bulgarian government, but
British suspicion was aroused because of
the close proximty of Turkey.
Three-quarters of the oil was destined
for Greek ports and the British author
ities permitted the ship to make those
deliveries upon promise to return to
Malta before proceeding to Bulgaria. In
the meantime, It was said. Great Britain
would determine whether the Bulgarian
cargo would be permitted to proceed or
to go to a prise court.
The owners of the cargo are seeking
the delivery of the oil without prise court
proceedings.

BILL WILL PR0YIDE ROAD
IN INDIAN RESERVATION
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. (Special Tel
e gram.) The senate committee on Indian
affairs today agreed to report as an
amendment to the Indian .appropriation
bill a bill which has the endorsement
of both Nebraska senators giving the
secretary of the Interior the right to con
nect up county roads through an Indian
reservation. The bill, which was favor
ably reported from the Indian affairs
committee of the senate and now on the
calendar, was prompted through the re
fusal of an Indian of the Winnebago res
ervation in Nebraska to sign the neces
sary permits as provided for under the
old law relating to the construction - of
county roads.
The Indian In question originally agreed
to the construction of a county road
through his property, but later withdrew
his consent, which tied up the proposi
tion completely. It is for the purpose of
correcting an obvious wrong that the
bill was agreed to today.
W. E. Whltoomb of Winnebago, who
haa been interested in the matter, left
for Nebraska today, feeling certain that
the legislation will get through all right.
