Physical Energy It Expends Quoted In
Horsepower.
To lift $50 pounds one foot in one
second requires what is known as one
horsepower Similarly horsepower
is able to raise twice that weight one
foot in twice the time, or one-half foot
in Just that time. Moreover. 1t can
raise hnlf 800 pounds one foot in half II
second, or two feet In Il second, and
SO on. Therefore when We lift one
fourth of that weight, 1917 pounds,
four feet in one second, We are ex-
erting n horsepower.
Accordingly. when person who
weighs 1917 pounds runs upstairs mt
the rate of four feet second, lie is
cxerting the equivalent OF horsepow-
er. For a man weighing twice that
much, 30 pounds. it would be neccs-
sary to climb ut the rate of only two
feet II second TO exert a horsepower
1t is possible to do much more.
As matter of fact. n horse often
exerts many times a horsepower. The
average horse can draw wagon up Il
Hill where Il ten horsepower engine
with the same load would fail. \ horse
power does not represent the greatest
mcmentary strength of the average
horse, but is Il measure of the power
which he can exert continuously. New

An ancient English custom forbids
the participation of peer in the cleo

general election is actually in progress
the lords are oratorically muzzled by

LONDON, June 26.-The Italian ar

and isolated infantry operations, the
official reports say. Progress is being
made along the Isonzo, according to
the Italian statement despite the nat

the Austrians.

Slowly, owing to the difficulties of
mountain warfare, but steadily and
with grim determination, Italian forces
are advancing both from the east along
the Fella valley and from the south

From Jaxorcek. which is about 5000
feet high, the heavy artillery of the
Italians is said to be sweeping the valley
miles away in a direct line. The big
guns also are declared to dominate the
whole valley of the upper Isonzo river,

GREATEST LABOR. WAR"
IS BEGUN IN CHICAGO
Shutdown of Building Industry
Throws 200, 600 Men Out of
Employment.

CHICAGO, June ga general shut
down of Chicagos building industry
which. it was said, will throw out OF
employment more than 100000 work
ers went into effect today.
The shutdown is regarded by con-
tractors and labor leaders as the be-
ginning of one of the greatest labor
wars in recent years. The action was
taken at meeting last night of repre-
sentatives of the allied building and
material interests as an answer to the
referendum vote of 10000 striking car
penters. who overwhelmingly defeated
the proposal to arbitrate all questions
in dispute.
Carpenters Out Since April 80.
The carpenters have been on a strike
since April 80. when their agreement
with the Contra CT ors- Employers Asso-
citation expired. The men had demand
ed a wage increase of from G5 cents to
20 cents an hour.
BY means of the shutdown the> en-
pioyers, it was said. hoped to prevent
the Independent carpenter contractors
from obtaining supplies and thus throw
out of work the 10000 carpenters who
are working under individual agree
ments.
Business Elsewhere Is Hit,
Business in many parts of the coun-
try will suffer a result of the shut
down of this city's building industry
according to James Pryor. 4 member OF
the press committee of the employer
Mr. Pryor said he had telegraphed out
of town concerns to cancel orders and
to stop consignments already on the
way to Chicago.
The shutdown will not become gen
eral for week or more, it is: said In
some cases, where it needed only the
order to stop machinery. it took place
today. but in others. where .perishable
goods are handled. there may be a
continuance of work for several days
