LONDON, October 22.-The British
admiralty has under consideration a
new form of marine engine and pro-
peller which, the inventor claims, viii
revoIutionize not only naval warfare,
but the navigation of the whole world
At first sight the engine resembles
turbine. but closer inspection reveals
important differences.
Steam from any type of boiler is
brought to bear upon a shaft fitted
with twelve chambers, divided into two
sets of six each. Shaft and chambers
are all steel. cast in one piece. and Of
great strength. Exactly what the ar
rangement Of these chambers is. the
inventor deems it imprudent at present
to disclose, but It is such that the
admission of steam through orifees at
their ends causes the shaft 70 revolve
at a tremendous speed.
So great is the power of the new
form of engine that the inventor con-
sfders il useless to apply it 70 the or
binary screw propeller, lest the terrific
pace should result in the formation of
a complete or partial vacuum in which
the screw would race" without ex-
ertfng its propulsive force. He has
accordingly devised a modification of
the screw propeller which viii make
a return in speed for all the power
that can be applied to It.
The screw has three blades. each of
the shape already familiar, but in
stead of being attached to one small
hub, they are fixed at intervals Of
couple of feet from one another to a
long shaft The result, of course, is
that each blade works in its own water
instead of in that through which its
fellow has cut but a moment before.
The shaft is fitted with three of these
dissected screws. each Of them with
a larger orbit than the one fmmed-
lately in front of il. so that when set
slowly in motion it presents to the eye
the effect of a huge corkscrew worm
ing its way forward.
The shaft bearing the three screws
is fixed Immediately beneath the keel
of the boat. and runs parallel with it
and with the driving shaft and its
twelve chambers. This occupies 50 lit
tie space that practically the only ma
chinery in the body Of the boat viii be
the furnace and boiler. and the in
ventor, therefore, believes that in the
case of cargo vessels the device viii
have the advantage Of adding TO the
carrying capacity as well as Of in
creasing the speed.
It is, however, in raval warfare that
he expects for the invention the great
est immediate utility. Up to now, the
new system has been tried only on
models upon the Serpentine and the
Thames, but the speeds attained in the
largest of these lead Mr.. Mailman 10
believe that on a vessel with the size
and steam power Of a present-day tor
pedo boat it would yield q velocity OF
100 miles an hour.

POOR SANFRANCISCO

stiII-street Car Men Demand $500
Day and an Eight-Hour Shift
Company Says "No."

San Francisco, May 6.-This city is
again in the throes Of the bitter In.
dustrial strife. For the third time
since the disaster of year ago, San
Francisco is walking because of the
declaration of a street car strike on
all lines in the city by the carmen's
union, the second strike of the carmen
within eight months. Only two street
cars were in operation in San Fran
cisco Sunday. These were permitted
to run on the Union street line, which
extends from Van Ness avenue to the
Preside. This short road of 13
blocks was considered too insight.
cant by the carmen to be interfered
with, but not car moved on the many
lines Of the United railroads, or on
the Geary or California street line.
Added to this tie-up of the street
cars, is the strike of the telephone
girls and that of 5000 iron workers
Without transportation facilities and
with very much crippled and made
Guate telephone service, it is feared
that business will be almost at a
standstill
The civic league has been very &C.
tive all day endeavoring to end the
strife and bring about a settlement OF
all the strikes by arbitration, but has
met with no success. A notice has
been posted by the United railroads at
all car barns giving the carmen until
Tuesday to return to work or consider
themselves discharged. Intense activ-
ity prevails at all the car barns and
all preparations made by the com
pany are indicative to bitter and
determined fight.
This condition was brought about
by the action of the motormen and
conductors of the United railroads
when they voted to declare strike
after having failed to obtain an S-hour
day and fiat wage OF IS.
In previous strikes of carmen in this
city, the California and eGary street
systems have continued operations,
subject to the settlement reached on
the United railroads, or the big sys.
tenn. But today the Geary and Cali
fcrnia street lines are still.
The motormen and conductors have
already been reinforced by the sta
tlonery firemen, who have demanded
recognition of their union and an i'll
crease of wages from $2.75 to 1925 per
Gay. It is very probable that other al
lied unions will come to the support of
the platform men.
A veteran member Of the Garments
union, who is opposed to the strike,
said today: This means fight which
will end the power of labor unions In
San Francisco. The men are beaten
before the battle opens'
President Calhoun said before the
strike and repeated today that his car
system would be run on the open shop
basis. All employers who have ex-
pressed themselves are strongly In
sympathy with the company and many
union men condemn the carmen. Cal
houn has made all plans for a hard
battle. It is learned from an anthem
tic source that he has behind him all
the power of the state and national
governments.
Everywhere there is, the same spiris
of opposition by employers to the un-
ions.
