HIGHER AND
WAGES Of LABORERS
LOWER THIS YEAR
Democratic Good Times" Are
Well Illustrated by Conditions
in This City

Prices of foodstuffs and household
necessities average about 10 per cent.
higher under the Wilson tariff than
they did under the Republican tariff.
Wages paid ordinary laborers-the
men who need the money most-are
considerably lower in Harrisburg than
they were under the Taft Admins
tration.
In other words, the laboring man,
under Democratic rule, has less money
with which to buy food and household
necessities and has to pay more for
them.
Under the Taft Administration and
up until a year ago day laborers were
being paid 17h cents an hour here.
Toward the latter part of last sum-
mer as high as 20 cents an hour was
paid by Harrisburg contractors for
unskilled labor, and the supply was
not equal to the demand.
Too Many Men; Too Few Jobs
This summer there are more men
for the jobs than there are Jobs To
fill. The contractors are besieged by
men who want work.
The contractors are as a general
rule paying only Is cents an hour for
unskilled labor, although a few old
employees on public Improvement work
may be getting trif1e more. Some
contractors are paying only 12b cents
an hour and are finding many men
who are willing to work for that.
The same Is true of people having
large lawns and gardens. Last wear
few men could be had to do this work
and they demanded from $1.50 to
$1.75 a day. Now the supply is large
and men are willing to work for S1.10
a day.

WORLDS GREATEST
GUN PREPARED FOR
SERVICE At CANAL
Has Maximum Range of From
Twenty-Five to Twenty-three
Miles
PROJECTILE WEIGHS ONE TON
Eight Men Are Required to Carry
One Powder Charge For Peace
instrument

Washington. d. c.. July 14.-when
its breech- locking device has been per-
fected at Watervliet arsenal, the great
16-inch gun, the biggest piece of ord
nance in the world. which has just
been shipped from Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds, will be practically ready
for service on the Panama canal forti-
| fications. The carriage for this giant
gun is now under construction at the
| Watertown, Mass, arsenal. 1t prob
ably will be taken back to Sandy Hook
for tests after being mounted and will
not be shipped to Panama before next
spring. Some idea may be gotten of
the tremendous power of this gun,
destined 10 protect the Pacific entrance
/ to the Panama canal, by the fact that
it is so feet long, weights 142 tons
and fires a projectile about 6 feet long.
The projectile itself weighs ton and
is discharged by 665 pounds of pow
der. 1t requires eight men to carry
the powder charge. This gun has a
maximum range of from % to 23
miles, or half the distance between
New York city and West Point. The
elevation permitted by its carriage will
enable the gun to fire the projectile
about II miles across the Pacific ocean.
1t has sufficient power. theoretically. to
pierce two feet of the best armor at
the muzzle. At IL miles the gun is
calculated to pierce a 12-inch armor
plate or any side armor afioat When
shell leaves the gun 1t is revolving
around its axis at about 1000 revo-
lutions per minute and develops a
pressure of $4,000 pounds to the
square inch. The pressure to the rear
on the gun and forward on the pro-
jectile amounts to 100000 pounds
The proiectiles velocity of 2.25O feet
per second gives a muzzle energy of
somewhat more than $4,000 foot tons
that is, an energy capable of raising
AZ tons one foot every second MANY
ordnance ofhcers believe this gun will
be tremendous instrument of peace
when it is finally in position on the
Panama canal. sg.H

CONNECT BIG STORE
FIRE SERVICES ON
/ NEW 16-|NCH MAIN
City Plug and Private Attach
ments Planned For Market
\ Street Feeder
WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY
Commissioner Bowman Arranging
to Perfect System in Business
District

All the department store, and other
private fire fighting supply services
as well as the city fire plugs will be
attached to the proposed big 16-inch
water main in Market street, and so
increase and perfect the fire protec-
tive system for Harrisburg's business
district.
At present one 6-inch main from
Front to the subway alone provides
all the water and many and many a
fireman has wondered from time to
time. just what might happen should
Market street ever be threatened with
a very serious blaze.
The 6-inch main will remain as ii is
and neither the house, store or cross
street supply main connections will
be interfered with. The fire plugs
and the private fire services will be
removed and placed directly on the
big main. The cross street supply
pipes, of course, will be connected
upon the 16-inCh mains, too.
InsureS Better Circulation
BY this system a much larger cir
culation is assured with ample pro-
vision for fire protection. A similar
plan will be followed in Front street
from North to Market and in Front
from Market to Paxton where 16
and 12-inch mains respectively are to
be put down.
The placing of the new mains in
the business district will necessitate
the preliminary tearing up of the
street to some extent in order to OBJ
tain and map out the definite location
of the 6-inch mains. Trenches will
be dug from the curb to the car track
If necessary in the middle of each
block in order to get to the main.
The new water mains will be placed
at a depth of five feet.
Trenches will also be necessary on
the intersecting streets where they
join Market so that IL is probable for
a day or so at time these streets
will be closed on the lower side of
Market street. City Commissioner
Harry F. Bowman, superintendent of
public safety, who has been working
out the fire protective and better wa
ter circulation plan for some time,
will put gangs of men on the jobs
so that the work may be hurried as
lsistently as possible.
Will Install Valve System
A system of valves will he installed,
too, so that the supply can be read
lily regulated.
Bids for placing the Front street
main in the park and on the extreme
eastern side of the highway have been
advertised for by Commissioner Bow
man who wishes to obtain figures on
the comparative cost. Placing the
mains in the park will cost several
thousand dollars less, he says, than
the carrying out of the same job in
the streets. Many friends of the
parks and other Front street residents
however contend that the street is in
pretty fair shape for resurfacing now
anyway and that the pipe job could
easily be completed in conjunction
with the street work.
