These Predictions
 Beat All Others

Among the gloomy prophecies made concerning Hailey's comet the most famous is of Mime. Thehes, the French woman who has attained distinction by her prediction of some notstle events. Mime. Thebes "cheeriul' out look contains these statements:
 "The year l9i0 will be cue to look back b with trembling.
 "The earth is under terrific strain from comets and planetary revolu. tions Human destiny is red. That means blood. Political events are black. Terrible charges are eminent.
 "This Ninter France will be swept by fiood. Paris will be under water. The influence of form changes in other planets and the coming of comet will affect us for the worse.
 "The strain of the stars will be most severely felt in America. The people of America will have to pay dearly for all their riches and sudden prosperity. With the coming of an- other comet. disaster will settle upon America.
 "A financial crash is impending, to befoilowed by long string of suicides. Black ruling Us, men wI!i commi, sll manner of crimes and knsyeries for money.
 "The times are swsying toward de. generation. We are swinging within the evil influence of 8 strange orbit. Our souls are jared from their proper bearings l dare not say all that is revealed to me. It would be too terr- ible.
 l Mme Thebes would seem to have said quiet enough. Her predictions have amused the astronomers, who point out that the comet cannot pos- sibly harm mankind, and who recall all the comet scares of the past to emphasize their DO mt that humanity is in 10 dagger.
 So, why worp?

Again has the clash between the
relative merits Of the day labor and
the contract system of building
large and difficult public structures
been called up by the collapse of
the Monroe street arch. This ques-
ton recurs because of the effort to
blame the unions for the alleged
demand for day labor on the job.
Union labor is in favor of day
labor under the proper supervision
NOT otherwise. When the super
vision is not what it ought to be
then union labor is always to
blame.
Union labor has Jared badly in
the building of bridges by the pres
ent city administration. Protected
by clause of the city charter
which it is claimed bars the city
from unionizing job, the city, first
under J. c. Ralston and later under
the present engineering heads, has
used every effort to keep from the
employmnt of union labor instead of
catering to it.
Members of the structural iron
and bridge workers union say the
same thing. What favors they have

Jeffries re-enter the ring" he said.
Since Tex Richard is now with
Jeffries on a fishing trip and had
conference with Gleason before he
went, and since Berger was present
at the first interview between Tex
and Jeffries, Chicago fans believe
that the optimistic statements of
the fighters manager and Gleason
indicate that the fight will be
staged, "if the public is willing"
Richard already has declared that
he wants to stage another fight, and
Jeffries has said that he is consid-
ering the matter.
I'm my opinion" Berger contin-
ued, "Jeffries could whip Johnson
any day in the week. He was so
nervous that he was practically a
mental wreck on July Fourth. 1t is
not likely that it would happen that
he would be in that condition
again"
eff Jeffries re-enters the ring for
a return match with the negro. the
result might be an entirely different
story" said Gleason. HE was not

BRIDGEMEN'S

with the erection of the biggest
concrete arch in the world. The fact
that said arch is now at the bottom
of the river is the best tribute to
the class of scientific engineering
employed on the job.
THE TRUTH ABOUT 1T.
When the guys that held the
frame arch of the new Monroe
street bridge to the old steel struc-
ture were removed the first gust of
wind that came along naturally
blew the arch over.
The foreman of the crew of
bridge builders that erected the
arch asked that it be guyed before
the old steel bridge was removed.
The engineers refused to give the
order to guy the arch and demanded
that the old bridge be cut and re-
moved or that the men quiet. The
old bridge was finally removed and
the wooden arch, 115 feet above the
water, was left standing without
any protection for the upper six
joints of the arch.
The bridgemen had felt the arch
CULVER a number of times and knew
that it was not safe. So when the
first evidence of windstorm APP
peared yesterday afternoon they
left the arch and sought refuge on
the old steel structure.
Chief Foreman Farney told En-
gineers Green and Kennedy that the
arch should be guyed. but Farney.
who had just finished raising the
steel for the eight story Realty
building. was told to do as the en-
gineers dictated or quit the job
and Farney quit, rather than risk
his own life and those of his men.
The engineers than charged that
Farney was nuder the domination of
the union and afraid to tell the men
what to do. Farney's record as
builder shows that he can take care
of work when left to his manage.
ment.
The trouble all along on the Mon
roe street bridge has been a case
of youthful engineers, through in
experience, undertaking to go
against all practical rules and laws
of construction. Different foreman
have tried to tell them what to do,
but their advice was either un-
needed or the men discharged from
the job.
