Mine Workers on the subject of strikes.
His remarks were directly and almost en-
trely confined to the situation In West
Virginia at this time. He said in part:
II am not an advocate of strikeA but
there are times when they are necessary
to clinch the argument Of truth In the
interests of the laboring people of this
country. Strikes are feature of civiliza-

now confronting the American people.
They are the siedge hammers that weld
the connecting links of labor and capital.

LAUNCH TO MAKE
MILE A MINUTE
TRIAL OF THE EMERSON BOAT
WAS A FAILURE OWING TO THE
BREAKING OF A PROPELLER.
INVENTOR MAKES BIG CLAIMS.

Cincinnati, March 24-The trial Of the
Emerson launch built for Commodore
Edwards of the Royal Yacht club of Can
ada. was a failure here today owing to
the breaking of one of the propellers in
the harpor. ITO cross the ocean in two
davs" is a result the inventor expects to
achieve with the new method of propul-
sion. The launch, which is eighty feet
long. is built much along the lines of all
launches of its size of today, but pos
sesses wly-developed motor that has
3O-horse propelling power and weighs less
than 600 pounds. A new arrangement OF
valve action Is supplied, enabling the en-
gine to make 2000 revolutions minute,
turning the screw l0OO revolutions a
minute.
Mr.. Emerson says he will soon begin
the construction Of a vessel which will
be built solely for speed and with which
he expects to make a mile a minute.
Such he claims. Is the construction of his
engine that this can be maintained for
an indefinite period and will enable
vessel to cross the Atlantic In two days.
The engine, he says, can be fitted up In
steamers of any size. and while produce
ing the height of speed. Will not 1arsthe
vessel. Gas generated from gasoline will
be the motor power, and the expenses Jt
operating a yacht when fitted out with
this new motor will be one-third that re-
ouired today. Several years ago Mr..
Emerson constructed a launch with
which he made forty-five miles an hour
and easily ran away from the English
torpedo boats that raced with him. H'9
new engine, however, he claims. Is vastly
superior to that one.
