QUEBEC BRIDGE PLACED.
Greatest Structure of Kind In:
World Is Completed.
Two Previous Attempts to Erect Big,
Span Resulted in Accidents Cost
ing Lives Of Eighty-fout.

Quebec, Sept. 22.-With the boiling
ing into place the big center span of
the Quebec bridge has been success
fully completed, and Canada is now
the possessor of the greatest CAN'T
lever bridge in the world. It was the
greatest engineering feat of the kind
ever attempted.
The last hoist was made and the
great center span finally put in place
late in the afternoon.
The great structure, which is 1929
feet long and contains 1S0,00O,0O0
pounds of steel and cost in the neigh
borhood of $20,000,000 to build, was
all but completed today after II years
of labor, the original structure having
been started back in 1906.
Two Previous CoIlapses.
During it's construction "a men have
lost their lives and monetary loss
of $8,500,000 has been sustained
through two collapses, the first. one
costing the lives of 70 men, when the
south cantilever arm collapsed in 1907
and the second in 1916 when the cen
ter span went into the St. Lawrence
through the breaking of a casting on
the hosting apparatus.
Painting operations will be immedi-
ately started. 1t will take three years
to paint the bridge. AS soon as the
painters finish it, they will start all
over again and keep this going contin-
ually as the work has to be done every
three years.

Asserts That National Organization,
For Purpose Of Getting Better SAL
aries For Members, Exists.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Rep7esenta-
tive Norton Of North Dakota, in. a
speech in the house, charged that gov
eminent employees are trying to
gouge the public through a national
organization.
II have read in the papers an &C.
count of meeting of federal employ
ees from all parts of the country, con-
|vened for the purpose of effecting the
organization Of a. national federal en-
|ployees union,'' said Mr.. Norton.
ut is very patent upon it's face that
the real purpose of this national or
ganization is in the end to gouge> the
government out of higher wages for
it's members.
II have seen, on several different &C.
casions, government employees gather
ed here in the galleries of this house,
like aocks Of blackbirds in ripening
field of grain, to urge the enactment
of legislation being considered by the
house for the further increase of their
wages and for the further shortening
of their already short hours of labor.
"The fact that present legislation
permits the head of a bureau or de-
partment to raise the wages of some
particularly favored employee, simply
because the head of the bureau or de-
partment has lump sum appropria-
ton which he may grab without any
restriction or restraint, and the fact
that this privilege and freedom given
to the heads of bureaus and depart
ments during this war emergency has
been. grossly abused, calls loudly for
this legislation and calls for it at
once"
Mr.. Norton's remarks were applaud.
ed by other members.

The action was taken after Secre.
tary of Labor Wilson declared that un-
rest among laboring men was due to
the impression that business has been
making excessive profits in which la:
Dor has not shared.
HAS it never occurred to you bust
nessmen," Secretary Wilson asked,
"that the story has gone forth that
you are not patriotic; that you have
been profteering? And did it ever
occur to you that the workingman has
said to himself he will insist on get

II have said to labor that this is no

changes in labor standards. But
also say to you employers that this is
no time to stand on your prejudices,
no time to insist on profiteering. You
should not take advantage of your
country's necessities to insist on alb
normal profits
The Resolutions Provide.
That no attempts be made by bust
ness to change labor conditions and
that labor make no efforts to force
union recognition or changes in stand
ards.
That there be no profiteering in bus
mess to give rise to labor unrest.
That business recommend to the
government creation of a government
board representing labor, capital and
the public to settle all major disputes
and that the boards decisions be bind
ing on both sides.
That industry call on labor to CO.

be no strikes or lockouts while adjust
ments are being made.
That government employment agen-
cies be developed and extended by

That industry institute a study of

1t would surprise no one here if
Secretary Robert Lansing were to call
for an unequivocal statement to- the
