High SPEED LAUNCHES,

The Globe Iron Works company Of Min
neapolis is building a new White three
cylinder gasoline engine for launches
which promises to be the fastest thing
for its size ever built. The idea Is to pro-
duce a light equipment that can still give
the speed of a four-cylinder engine. With
the three-cylinder engine the propeller
can be changed from 200 to 1000 revolu-
tions per minute by turn of a lever.
One fourth as heavy as the four cylinder,
built with skeleton base, and aluminium
trimmings, it Is the neatest marine en-
CINE ever turned out. Besides being
light, it Is non-vibrating engine and one
that will strike you at glance with its
trimness and speeding qualities. Globe

There is comfort in the knowledge so

Root. the great kidney remedy fuffills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root IS soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Reading and other men who had been
sent here be removed and the old hands
be taken back. This was refused.
The committee then reported the mat
ter to their leaders and few moments
later the men still at work, some 1,800,
were told to come out. The order was
obeyed almost to a man and promptly
at o'clock all left the big plant. Each
carried small American flag. Only the
foremen of the different departments
and a few blacksmiths remained at
work.
The plant, when in full operation, em-
ploys nearly 5000 men and boys. When
the first strike occurred, sixteen weeks
ago. about 800 men quit. The others re-
manned at work. Now the entire plant
is idle with the exception of the portion
manned by the newcomers.
