CREW OF SUBMARINE
SAVED BY Av|ATORS
Austrian Aeronauts Rescue
French Seamen When Plum
ger Goes Down.

Berlin, Sept. 25. (by wireless to Say
pille).-The exploit Of Austro-Hungar-
ian aeronauts. who with two seaplanes
rescued 20 men-the officers and crew
of the French submarine Foucault--is
de- icribed by the Tageblatt. Official
announcement was made at Vienna yes
terday of the sinking of the Fouc5ult
by an Austrian seaplane in the south
ern Adriatic.
The sea was rough at the time and
there was also danger that the Austrian,
aeronauts would be captured by hostile
warsllips, as well as that the aero
planes, overloaded by taking on so many
men, might collapse. The Austrian avn
ators told the men from the French
submarine to swim to the seaplanes and
take hold OF them. The commander
and second officer Of the submarine
We're allowed to climb into the pilots
seats.
The aviators signaled for help and
half an hour later a torpedo boat ar
rived and took on board the men from
the submarine.

Canada VIII Finish the Bridge.

From the ST. Louis RepuDllc.
The second Quebec bridge disaster
s,aggers the mind. No engineering mis-
adventure is rarer than the failure of a
great bridge. Not since the Tay bridge
collapse, in which a passenger train went
down into the waters of an arm of the
sea In Scotland in 1879, has either Great
Britain or the United States witnessed a
bridge disaster of the first magnitude, for
in no structure is the factor Of safety
larger.
The first Quebec bridge collapsed dur
Ing erection, either on account of wrong
construction of the compression members
or because of faulty diagonal bracing.
The engineering profession of the world
has watched the erection of the new
structure with a keen sense of the i'm
portance Of rehabilitating modern bridge
construction in public confidence. The
disaster should be followed by the most
drastic measures TO fig responsibility.
The action Of the people of Canada is
easily forecast. They will finish that
bridge. and so finish 1t that it stand as
& monument to the persistence of purpose
of a great people, in the face of unpre-
cedented difficulties and disasters.

CALL STRIKE OF
100000 WORKERS
Attempt Will Be Made to Aid
Garments Union Win Battle
In New York--TroubIe
Is Feared.

New York. Sept. 25.-Trades unions
IN the city and Westchester county to-
day began to vote on the question of
r%atifying the action of so delegates who
yesterday called for a general suspen-
sion of work" next Wednesday morn
ing. The labor chiefs appealed to all
union wage earners to stay at home
until the traction companies made it
possible for them to ride in the street
cars without offense to their union al
legtance.
1t is asserted that no such action
heretofore has been taken by the trades
unions of this country. nor has a Strike
involving so many trades ever been
called. Its maximum effect would call
from work $50. 000 men and
The Unions Involved.
Following is a partial list of the un-
ions involved in the call for a suspen-
sion of work:
Milk handlers, b~artenders. walters, beer
brewers, house w~reckers, musicians. bar
bers, cigarmakers, ladies armen cut
tappers, journeymen horseshoers, tele-
phone workers, glass workers, pressmen,
painters, plumbers, neckwear cutters,

tors, deck earpenters, printers, cooks,
retail. clock workers, web pressmen.
hookkeepers, st~enographerS, accountants.
transfers. j~ourneymen ~tailors. pipe cut
ters, theatrical spotlight workers.
Leaders of the movement refrain
from calling it a sympathetic strike.
They declare that many of the unions
already have voted to ratify their rec
concentrations and that any union man
who does not quit work Wednesday will
be denounced as a traitor.
To what extent they expect the I'M
ions to respond to the suspension call
Is not disclosed. How can | tell? 1t
is up to the unions" said Hugh Frayne,
general organizer of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor for New York. 1t Is
pointed out that Wednesday is the be-
ginning of al important Jewish holt
day when many workers ordinarily
would stay at home.
Union Mon lncensed.
The call for a cessation of work is
based on the grievance hat men of I'M
ion affiliations cannot ride to their en-
ployment except in cars manned by
nonunion conductors and motormen
and under police protection. Statements
issued by the leaders indicate that they
are incensed by Mayor Mitchers warm
ing hat he stood ready to use military
power to restrain violence and that
they consider the city to be dominated
by the traction interests.
To reinforce the police, Commissioner
Woods has instructed the captains to
select 10 civilians in each precinct to
be sworn in as special policemen. This
would add about 900 nen to the de-
partment.

New York. Sept. 25.-For a week end

in shipping issue and some equipments
