Health Department
May Intervene in
New York Strike
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. If the garbage
gatherers' strike Is not broken today the
Health department will step In to stve
New York from' the evil effects of som
t0,"00 csrt-loads of refuse that has ac

has kept professional strike breakei a
from accepting the high wages tho city
offers for substitutes and dread of the
teamsters' union haa prevented contrac
tors from bidding to perform the work
usually done by tha city department.
Actually the Health department Inter
vened today when Its men took oH
several hundred barrels of tllstnftrtan
to sprinkle on the piles of rotting garbigi
In the pjorer snd more thickly populated
districts.
The police believe the severe clubbings
administered to Some of the big mobs
that gathered yesterday have taught the
strike sympathisers a iwon. Although
yesterday's riots were thp must exten
sive the police have lad to cope with since
the strike begnn. there were ni fatlll
tles and few hospital cases and the num
ber of arrests have been remarkably
small.

WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. -Responding
to a request by Rcprcsentatl vn Aiken of
South Carolina that the federal govern
ment undertake the proxecutlon of
"bears," who, it Is alleged, aro engaged
in depressing the price of cotton to the
financial detriment of the southern pro
ducer. Attorney General Wickersham
frankly admits he does not understand
the workings of a "bear pool" or how
such a combination could operate in re
straint of commerce.
In correspondence made public today,
It is snid by tho attorney general that
he has no tangible evidence of the exist
once of any such pool and request Mr.
Aiken to furnish him with any detailed
Information ho may have Indicating the
formation of a pool for the depressing
of th$ price of the south s great staple.
The government's future course In con
nection with all corners, Mr. Wickersham
Intimates, will be governed largely by
the decision of the alleged "oSjlls,"
charged with cornering cotton to Increase
Its price.
"If the court should decide the essen
tial question Involved." he says, "and
not let the case go off on a technical
terter of pleading wo shall have some
HBiit wincn win ue of aid to the enforce
ment of law against other combinations
r a like character."
Mr. Aiken declores that if n, -......
ment had the legal right to , proceed
against a combination of speculators
whose purpose wus to force up the price
uuium, u nas the same legal right
.prosecute a combination sneklnv to
depress tho price of the same commo
dity. Aiken Invokes Aid of Logic.
