DANGER Of A
BRIDGE HORROR

Engineer Green on the Monroe
street bridge, with a crew of labor
ers, is cutting the old steel bridge
in the center of the main arch over
the river. Unless he has taken pre-
cautions tot safeguard the lives OF
the men, there is grave danger of
another Montreal bridge horror in
the city of Spokane.
The crew of skilled bridge en-
gineers employed by the city quit
yesterday rather than take the
chances that Green is now asking
the laborers to take.
Already is the city of Spokane
facing damage suits aggregating
$4,000 over the building Of the
Monroe street bridge. Under the
guiding hand of the young engin'
GERS entrusted with the work there
is no telling where the end vii be.

FoREMENS' STATEMENT.
This morning G. f. Norman, J. II.
Doyle, w. H. Pulliam and w. Atkin-
son, foremen on the Monroe street
bridge, made the following state
ment: I'VE quit this job ecause We
did not want to commit suicide,
which it would have meant had we
proceeded in cutting loose the
bridge as ordered by Green. The
south end of the bridge, near where
it broke during the winter, Is
propped up by falsework. There was
nothing supporting that part of the
bridge which would be cut loose
above the river and the effect
would be that the portion to be cut
loose from the north end Of the
bridge would topple over to the
north and go into the river bed. Not
caring to endanger our lives or
those Of the men under us, we &C.
cepted the order Of Green and left
the job.
This is no strike, no difference
as to wages or union or nonunion
men. but simply question regard
ing human life more than the. few
paltry dollars we get from the city
of Spokane for working on the job.
1--WE are practical bridgemen,
some of us having followed that line
of work for 20 years. This man

when he gives such an order as he
did yesterday it is time that com

particular.
MANY of the bolts that hold the
old steel bridge are rotten, having
crystallized so that they break as SC
much pottery. Yet such bolts are
expected to hold up immense weight
of bridge iron containing dozens OF
men, after the underneath support
has been cut away. Green has de-
MED that there was any crystalliza
ton or that there is such a thing
which further illustrates his lack of
knowledge of the subject that he is
handling.
Eve bridge men want to be fair
and get along in peace with the
city, but we will say that no group

nothing can check the flames but
