Declares if Merchants

Street Commissioner Edward 1".
Duffy today answered thecomplalnts
of the merchants in Washington.
North and South Main streets rela~
tive to the collection of the garbage
and rubbish.
Merchants have complained be-
cause the street department does
not collect the refuse earlier in the
morning. In many instances. they
declare. receptacles are left stand-
ing in front of their places of busi-
nem untln noon. One merchant said
that on the last two Saturday's col-
lectlon was not made until 2:10.

missioner Duffy declares that this
is impossible. unless they put out
their cans the night before.
Mr. Dutl‘y said:
"The merchants want the refuse
carried away the first thing in the
morning. but this is impossible un-
der present conditions. My men start
collecting at 7 o'clock. Stores do not
open until 9 o'clock and by the time,
they get them swept up and their
cans out on the street..it is 9:30 and
after.
“I can't let my men stand arou‘.
here until the merchants get their
rubbish out for them. So I send
them to the outskirts. where the
garbage is placed out early.
“Since the closing of the Seaview
avenue dump we are forced to haul
the collections all the way down to
the “'atcr street dump. This takes
time. so naturally it takes the men
longer to collect now than it did
when they could go to the Seaview
avenue dump.
“if the merchants want the busi-
ness section cleaned up first. let them
put their collection out the night be-
fore. Nothlng would please me bet—
ter than to be able to send my men
through “‘ashington. North and
South Main streets. early in the
morning. when there is no traffic. -
"The merchants are ev erready
to lay the blame on the street dc-
partment. when they themselves igfl-
nore the ordinance relative to the
collection of garbage by the city.
"The street department is author-
ized to collect. remove and dispose
of garbage. refuse. rubbish and ash-
es only when these materials are
placed in suitable receptacles as de-
fined under section 4. which states,
That garbage shall be placed in We.-
ter tight receptaclea having proper
lids or covers and holding or con-
taining not more than ten gallons.
These receptacles shall be kept in

that the same with their contents
shall not constitute a nuisance.
"Garbage must be kept separate
and not mixed with other refuse. dirt
ashes, rubbish. tin cans. [broken

bage receptacles must be so used
that their contents wil at no times
come within four inches of the top

"Section 5 of the same ordinance
reads, ‘ashes accumulated from

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1.—(By
the Associated Freon—There was an
optimistic feeling through the an-
thracite coal regions of Pennsylvania
that the suspension of mining, which
became elective today .would not be
fbng continued.
For the second time in a year and
a half production of anthracite 'is
suspended. while the leaders of the
union miners and the representatives
of the coal companies struggle at
Harrisburg to reach an agreement
on a new wage schedule.
A year ago the miners returned to
work after five months of idleness
under a contract which expired last
midnight. .
Under the peace proposal to end
the present contest. the operators
are asking for a long'termcontract
if they must accede to‘tbe ten per
cent. wage advance suggested by
Governor Pinchot.
Reports from the anthracite fields
indicate e total Won. So far
no company has announced its intone
tion to mine coal while the 's
sumnsi“ on order is in eaect. ‘
While the mines are idle the rail-
roads were busy hauling therst of

MANUFACTURING
Amazed at Number of
Cotton Mills —-Little
Child Labor Seen
That the south is entering. more
and more into the manufacturing
field is the opinion expressed by Su-
perintendent of Schools G. V. Bu-
chanan. who has Just returned from
an automobile trip of several week:
through the southern states. Super-
intendent Buchanan stated that the
number of cotton mills. particularly
in North Carolina and Virginia. was
astonishing.
"I was amazed at the number of
cotton mills we saw." said Superin-
tendent Buchanan. “In Charlotte
alone, there are at least half a doson
mine backed by northern capital.
My party inspected one of the mills
and found many things of interest.
“The mill 1 went through was
modern in every respect. in“!!!
been constructed lea than five years
ago. It was light and airy. The mill
was devoted to the manufacture of
turkish towels and had thousands of
looms. ‘
"Labor in the vicinity of the mill
was cheap. but living conditions were
very good. The sun furnished live-
room homes to its employee at cheap
rents. which included light and heat.
The houses were very pro“? Md
well kept up.
"In making the round of the plant.
’I was particularly interested in the
fact that little or no child labor was
employed. In' the entire plant. I. only
saw one person under twenty years
of age.
"From contact with the south. I
feelthnt that section will boom for
many years to come. Horse‘s Gree-
ley’s famous sayins. ‘Go westgrom

Superintendent’suchanan further
pointed out that the platen Ind
