RUNNING BATTLE FOUGHT
First Violence In strike of Teamster.

ST. LOUIS, August ia running

pathizers on one side and three nom
union drivers and score Of police
men on the other. which termlna ted
In riot in front of the St. Louis
Transfer Conlpanys stable tonight.
was the initial act of violence in the
strike of 1900 transfer drivers and
chauffeurs which began here to-day.
TeLmsters employed by ST. Louis
transfer companies struck for higher
wages and shorter hours to-day and
brought about partial paralysis in
the movement OF freight. The trans
Ter companies made no effort to fill
the places Of the strikers. announcing
an offer of minor concessions which
they asked the men to consider.
The st. Louis Transfer Company,
which. with the Columbia Transfer
Company. divides Il large share of the
city's tcaminS business, obtained Fed :
eral aid in moving the mails from East
st. Louis to ST. Louis for which II has
Il contract.
george j. ramsey, president of the
transfer company. appealed to the Fed
eral authorities and the United States
District Attorney gave instructions
that six government employees should
cross inc river III dutomobileS ana get
the mall. Ten wagon loads were thus
moved.
The strike resulted from the failure
OF the union and of the team owners
to Sign new contract to supersede
that which expired July 81.
President Tansey late to day issued
statement on behalf of the Team
owners Association. saying that the
employers would give the men until
Saturday evening to return to work.
and IL they did not come back by that
time the employers would begin the
employment Of other men regardless
of color.

AMERICAN BUILT
FIRST SUBMARINE
Was Constructed During the
American Revolution and
Was Propelled by Hand
Torpedo Used in Civil War.
Nv Victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON, June An Amer
lean. David Bushnell. built the first
submarine Of any value.
1t was constructed during the
American revolution, was operated by
hand and was used to make an attack
on an English vessel of Long Island.
The submarine reached the side Of
the vessel under water, but was un-
able 10 attach the torpedo 10 the side
Of the ship.
David Bushnell lived at Saybrook,
Conn. His submarine was called the
Turtle, by reason of her shape. She
was perfected in 1875 and in the sum-
mer of 1916, commanded by Sergt.
Ezra Lee of the Continental army, the
Turtle essayed an attack on the Brit
ish squadron under Admiral Howe,
lying in New York bay below the
Narrows.
The frigate Eagle was singled out.
The Turtle got under the Eagle. but
for a number of reasons the charge
Of gunpowder could not be attached
to the hull.
The torpedo. the torpedo boat and
the underwater boat played sensa-
tional parts in the American civil war.
Discussing this phase of the history
OF the submarine, writer on the sub
ject says.
This is no question Of the fact that
the submarine was first successfully
used as a factor in naval warfare dur
ing the federal blockade of Charles
ton"
ut is absolutely true that the Con-
federate inventors and gallant Con-
federate sailors and soldiers first dem
onstrated, through sacrificing the lives
of crew after crew, the terrific power
of the submerged craft and the ma
rine torpedo.
THE exploits OF the David in
Charleston harbor and of the Mund-
ley diver in blowing up the United
States steamship Housatonic off
Breach inlet in 1864, may fairly be
cited as having inaugurated the meth
cd Of under sea fighting.'
Several boats similar to the David
were built by the Confederates and
| they were generally called Davids
The boiler was forward, the engine
aft. and between them was "cuddy
| hole" for captain and crew.
The boats of this type ranged from
40 to so feet in length and were about
seven feet wide. From the bow of the
boat stuck a spar and at the end of
