Following the victory of the Lawrence textile workers, the SLP politicians renewed their efforts to pose as the IWW.

By representing that they were the IWW, and the only IWW, They were enabled to deceive several thousand textile workers in Patterson, Passaic, Hackensack, Sterling, Summit, Hoboken, Newark, New Jersey, and Astoria, Long Island, and collect from them initiation fees and dues.

In every instance, these political fakers betrayed the workers into the hands of the mill owners, and the efforts of the workers to better their conditions resulted in defeat.

Their own actions, however, resulted in exposing them to the workers in their true colors, and today they are thoroughly discredited with the workers throughout that district.

For a time, the other wing of the political movement contented itself with spreading its venom in secret.

Since the conclusion of the Lawrence Strike, the publications of the Socialist Party, with a very few exceptions, have never failed to use their columns to misrepresent and slander the organization and its active membership.

Their attacks have extended to members of their own party who happen to be active members or supporters of the IWW.

Now bolt your doors, lock your windows, turn off your lights, and come with me into the Weird Darkness.

Thelma Todd was born on July 29, 1905, in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and was the first of two children of John and Alice Todd.

Thelma's father was a former police officer who had entered politics and had little time for his family.

Because of this, her frustrated mother channeled all of her energy into Thelma and her younger brother William.

Okay, fine.

Then you got your revolutionaries, the Bread and Roses Coalition, named after the 1912 textile industry strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

I already know I don't wanna hang out with these people.

[laughs] No kidding.

In Massachusetts, there are four locations where emergency medical services have the ability to administer whole blood transfusions at the scene of a crisis or an accident.

One of those is in the Lawrence area.

The Eagle Tribune reports Merrimack health paramedics were called to Exeter Street and East Dalton Street in Lawrence back on the 31st of August.

Three teens were shot, a 13-year-old seriously injured, and was given a blood transfusion at the scene before being transported.

transported to Lawrence General Hospital.

Thanks to the quick work done by those paramedics, that teen survived.

Fire departments in Canton and Mansfield, as well as UMass Memorial Health in Worcester, also equipped to administer whole blood care on site.

in the words of one of the state reports the death rate from typhoid fever has generally fallen as the per cent of the population supplied with public water has risen for the reason that the majority of the deaths from this disease have occurred among communities and portions of communities not supplied with public water That this improvement is being maintained is seen from the fact that in the four-year period 1896-99, the deaths from typhoid fever in Massachusetts were further reduced to 2.6 per 10,000.

It is, however, in the city of Lawrence that the most striking insight is obtained as to the manner in which typhoid fever may be controlled by conditions surrounding the water supply to the community.

Thus, whereas the death rate from typhoid fever reached a mean of 11.2 per 10,000 in 1886-90, it fell to 7.7 in 1891-95 and to 2.5 in 1896-99. it was in the autumn of the year eighteen ninety three that the raw river water supplied to the city from the merrimac river was first begun to be filtered and since that time the sand filters have been subjected to systematic and most elaborate bacterial supervision and improvements have been constantly introduced so as to secure the most efficient purification possible of the water before distribution and the results are reflected in the marked diminution in typhoid fever which has followed these strenuous efforts to obtain the best water supply available.

The splendid example set by the state of Massachusetts in promoting the welfare of the people by the encouragement of original researchers in practical hygiene has stimulated other American states to create boards of health and enact laws for the protection of their rivers and streams.

If a sample of milk containing originally such a comparatively small number of bacteria, for a figure under 10,000 per cubic centimeter, sinks into utter insignificance when we read of samples containing 2.5 million, if such relatively bacterially pure samples may support such prodigious numbers of these Lilliputians, what the microbial population of less satisfactory samples may amount to well nigh baffles our powers of calculation.

Professor Russell writes, quote, If we compare the bacterial flora of milk with that of sewage, a fluid that is popularly and rightly supposed to be teeming with germ life, it will almost always be observed that milk, when it is consumed, is richer in bacteria by far than the sewage of our large cities.

Sedgwick, in his report to the Massachusetts Board of Health for 1890, found that the sewage of the city of Lawrence contained at the lowest 100,000 germs, whilst the maximum number was less than 4 million per cubic centimeter.

This range in numbers is much less than is usually found in the milk supply of our large cities, unquote.

Well, that's

funny because she graduated from CCHS in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

So that's maybe why.
