Health Officer Townshend Refutes a Slander on the City, THE DEATH RATE OF THIS CITY 4S COMPARED WITH OTHER CITIES—UNFAIR COMPARISONS MADE FROM INSUFFICIENT DATA—HOW WASH- INGTON’S REPUTATION SUFFERS THROUGH ‘THE COMPLETENESS OF ITS VITAL STATISTICS. Health Officer Townshend has sent the follow- ing letter to the Commissioners: Gentlemen:—The following article, credited to the New York Commercial Advertiser, is going the rounds of the newspaper press: KEEP OUT OF WASHINGTON, ¥rom the New York Commercial Advertiser. “There is nothing like a good statistical table to overthrow preconceived notions, Ask any- body what state, territory or other division of the country is the most unhealthy, as indicated by death rate, and the answer is pretty sure to be wrong. Nobody thinks of the District of Co- lumbia as more pestilential in its climate and surroundings than South Carolipa and Missis- sippi with their swamp miasina and epidemic fevers, and yet census tabies just published show that the death rate is greater In_ the Dis- trict of Columbia than in any state or territory in the Union.” ‘This statement is so ly unjust to our com- munity, coming as it does from one of the most respectable journals in the country, that I de- sire to present through you to the public a few Jacts in relation thereto, ‘The census tables reierred to by the writer of the above article appear on page 7 of vol. xi. of the Report of the Henth Census, belng part one of that portion of the report relating to mortality and vital statistics, Tals table does show that decording to returns the District of Columbia has a larger death rate per 1,000 of population than any state or terri- tory, taking returns from states and territories as a whole, but the compiler has taken care in his introduction thereto to caution the reader as to the inaccuracy of the figures in general, and especially us regards the accuracy of the District of Columbt It would be manifestly unjust to compare the rural districts of Dakota or Florida, where such a thing as the issuance of burial permits and the recording of deaths is not thought of, With the six miles square of this District (ur- ban, suburban and rural), where the record is ‘absolutely accurate. ‘The compiler, in commenting on this table, says: * * * “Norcan the different ratios of deaths per 1,000 of population for the several states in Table II bo considered as indicating the relative Lealthfulness of the several states. This table isin fact little more than a conve- nient summary of the population and the num- ber of deaths recorded in each state, being a continuation of similar tables in preceding re- ports.” Itis acknowledged that the enumerators’ re- turns from thinly settled sections of: the coun- try are largely deficient. For the state of New Jersey alone the deficiency in the enumerators’ returns were found to be 36.50 per cent. What, then, must have been the case with returns from’some of the southern and western states? Statisticians recognize and appreciate these facts, but the general public may be misled by such articles as the foregoing one. It the editor of the journal which gave this Paragraph to its readers had turned to page 21 of the introductory portion of the yolume he quoted from he would have found there a table Showing the registration records of 31 large cities, wiich the compiler says ‘may be pre- sumed to be fairly accurate.” In this he would havo found that the cities range in population from 41,659 for Lynn, Mass., to 1,206,299 for New York, and that, according to these, the only reliable figures given, it is ‘New York, and not Washington, that “fur- nishes the largest death ‘rate. This table further shows thut, of the thirty-one cities hay- ing proper registration records and furnishing accurate returns, the death rate of the white population of Washington is lower than that of Lwenty-nine, leaving the small city of Cam- bridge, Mass,, as the only one in the list having @smnalier death rate, and that but a mere frac- tion below. In the six cities where the distinc- Uon of color is shown, as given below, the death rate here is decidedly below that of elther of the other 1 * ‘Tne following are the figures given in the table: Population.

A Letter to the Commissioners from = Committee of Knights of Labor. Messrs, P. T. Bowen, Millard F, Hobbs, Chas, B. Smith, L. M. Herbert and H. G. Trader, leg- islative committee of District assembly, No. 66, yesterday sent a letter to the District Commis loners as follows: We have been directed by this assembly to Tequest you to direct that eight hours shall be a day's work for employes ot the District of Co- lumbia, On investigation we find that the municipal act of January 12, 1886 (Webb's Di- gest, 235) declared that for laborers employed ‘on corporation work ‘eight hours shall be com- puted a day's work,’ and the act ot March 27 1867 (Webb's Digest, 459), enacted that ‘the pay of laborers of this corporation shall be not less than $2 per day.’ These laws were con- tinued “in full force’ by section 91 of the Re- vised Statutes of the District of Columbia, and Weare unable to find that they have ever been repealed or modified expressly or by implica- tion. If we are correct, the present maximum of time and minimum of pay are eight hours and 52 for a legal day’s work within the Minits, of the city of Washington. Section 3733 of the Revised Statutes of the United States makes eight hours ‘a day’s work for all labor- er’s, workmen and mechanics exployed by or on beuall of the goverment of the United ates.” We think it requires no violence of construction to make this applicable to the District of Columbia, Congress is our sole legis- lature, ‘The President is our chiet executive, Allot the money for our expenses Is appropri ated by Congress. One-buifof it 18 paid from the United States Treasury. We certainly have agovernment here. We as certainly have no government by vr of the people of the District of Columbia, If it is not the ‘government of the United States’ under wich we operate, what is it? Itour laborers on public works ar not employed by or on behall of the govern- ment of the United States the letter and spirit Of the law mustendure a greater strain to make it appear so than to sustain the view we have expressed, The general movement for short hours is meeting with wide-spread success, and the demand is being conceded to those occupa tons where intelitzent and experienced organi- zation does its cilective work. But the moral and economic considerations on which the sed demand the shorter day as emphatically tor the poor, ignorant aud disor- gapized workmen, who are unable to grasp it, us for those Who can enlorce their demand, We thereiore urge you to establish the “rule throughout the District of Columbia which has already been declared right and expedient by ational, state and municipal legislation, aud Which iS being demanded and “conceded by public opinion in all industries where it is ap- plicabie. We beg to remind you that the com- petitive system, which forces’ private employ- ers, however geverous and honorabie, to secure labor at the lowest attainable rates, as no ap- plication to public employiment where the pro- motion of justics 18 the only aim of govern- ment and ihe only apology for its existence. It eight hours a day is as much as a man ought to work, and two dollars as little as a man ought to support a family on, the government be- comes an oppressor and ‘wrong-doer when It exucts more labor or gives less pay. ‘This organization already embraces a large portion of the wage-carners of the District of Columbia, and the District employes are to a great extént paid from mouey taxed from them, Weare unanimous in our desire that our servants shall not be employed more than eight hours per day and shull be paid enough tolive on, ‘In.the absence of any law the Commissioners have power to make a day's work of any length they may desire. 1f tere is no law on the subject we do earnestly hope that you will fix the day by anorder in analogy’ to the national law and the laws ol our organized trades already in force or about to become so. ‘But we adhere to the view that the laws we have specified fix the legal day for public em- ployes throughout the District of Columbia at eight hours, and the wages within the limits of the city of Washington at not less than two dollars per day. We trust that you will take steps speedily to enorce the law. We are the mory anxious that you should do this in order that tue incessant perversions and violations of the law, by these who are charged with its execution, may no longer invite and excuse lawlessness on the part of those whom We are seeking to educate and elevate by peaceful and lawtui methods.

Not many two-horse wagous haul more than a balf at a load, and the hauler ts out seventy cents per cord for tolls, Now, these tolls are paid not by che consumer, but Uy the hauler, aud reduce bis proceeds the amount of the tolls, It no tolis tnd to be paid he would get Just as much money tor his wood ples to this matter und they will find a way out of this dilemma.
