Set Used in Breaking Up Moor,

There is a "set'' of Fowler steam
plowS in use on Kilauea plantation,
Kauai, that have been in use forty.one
years and are said to DO still "going
strong" and as capable of doing a

infancy. These engines were built, by
John Fowler & Company of Leeds, Eng,
land, for the Duke of Sutherland in
January, 1873. The duke used them
for eighteen years breaking up the
mOorlands Of his estates in the north
of England for his tenant farmers.
He sold them to II. A. Macfe who
was manager of Kilauoa twenty five
years ago. They arrived on Kauai

JOHANNESBURG, South Afri-
ca, January Z. (By Associated
Press Cable)--Railroad traffic in
the Transvaal is seriously crippled
today, the result Of a strike called
yesterday in which thirty-five
thousand employees have stepped
work.
This grave condition will prob
ably be added to when the mines,
unable to transport their output,
may also be compelled to close
down, throwing additional thou
sands of native laborers and hun
dreds of skilled employees out of
work.
The trouble between the en-
ployes and the South African
State Railway was anticipated a
few weeks ago with the announce
ment of a policy of economy on
the part of the railroad. Attempts
were made to avert a crisis.
The walkout, and consequent tie
up of traffic came yesterday with
the dismissal of a number of EN-
ployes and the carrying into
effect of the general policy of re-
trenchment in all departments of
the railroad A few trains are
being operated under difficulty. Y
So far the strike has not been
accompanied by any violence.
