FINDS WATER WORM
WHICH EATS BRIDGES
DYNAMITE REVEALS CAUSE OF
WASTED PIERS
VermicuIous Under Water Supports
May in Future Be Remedled by
Discovery Made In
Clinton, Iowa

GREEN BAY, wis, Oct. 2.-Through
discovery by a Green Bay man. the
method of under water construction in
bridge and other work may be revolu-
tionized.
The discovery was made by George
Green, engineer and diver. who has
been working for the Northwestern
railway on bridge work at Clinton,
Iowa.
Mr.. Green, who has been placing
dynamite under the cribs which sup
ported the old bridge, found that worms
had attached themselves to the timbers
far below the water line and had eaten
into the wood, and eventually would
make the structure unsafe. The worm
is about half an inch long and white.
Specimens have been sent to the COM
pany's offices in Chicago and probably
win go to the University of Chicago
for examination.
1t is the opinion of Engineer Frank
Bainbridge, who is in charge of the
construction of the company's new
bridge across the Mississippi river that
the discovery will attract national at
tentiOn,

year of hard labor in the shops of the

''The men in the shops with whom
have been working" said young Webb
ARE princes. They did not know who
l was and they took me right in for
my own sake and were calling me by
my first name in a week. Just as men to
men they have no superiors on earth
Their word is their bond.
"The standard of morality among
workingmen is just as high as in other
classes. The life of the workman Is

The laboring man is not lacking in
brains, only in an opportunity to de-

That the strikers shall never 20 back.
That Aiea and Waipahu viii be COW

That Sheba dog made translations

That Sheba, the planters dog. is an
obstinate and shameless fellow beyond
description.
The Nippu in It's yesterdays edi-
torial says that it would like TO see
the importation Of European immi
grants who would not be satisfied even
If they get $40 or $50 month besides
their houses and land, and who would
60 to strike oftener than the japanese.
The paper states there is discomfort
among the strikebreakers and says
that when European laborers come,
the planters shall have 10 ask help
from the police, militia and troops"
and that they will show the Japa-
nese how TO conduct the strikes far
more effectively"
The Nippu covers its pages with the
following articles: "A Letter of

Under this headline the Nippu says
the shinpo is the Advertiser among
the japanese. Both Of these papers
are boastful and try to speak with
authority. The Advertisers fallacy is
always the laugllingstock, even Of chill
dren. 1t tries 10 scare the laborers
in different ways. It tries to place the
la borers in distress. The Shinpo tries
the same. But heaven sides with the
righteous cause. They are of mo ac-
count"
Get Rid of the Sycophants.
There are some japanese in the plan
tations who act as the planters
dogs" and pigs" They are the
traitors who betray the true interests
of the japanese. We must get rid of
them; it is urgent at this moment
They are the parfahs who obstruct
our cause Whether or not the strik-

upon their success or otherwise in
getting rid of these dogs and pigs
Get rid Of them first; then strike out
Just cause of strike has no use for
unjust sycoDhants and traitors.
