Londoners Opposed Bridoe.

When the population of London was
well over a million and it's houses lay
for miles on each side of the river it
was apparently well content with one
London bridge. At length, in 1874,
Westminster was seized with the de-
sire to have bridge of it's own. APP
zplication was made to parliament for
powers, only to encounter the fiercest
opposition from the city, the 10000
watermen, the inhabitants of South
wark, and the west country bargemen,
all of whom implored the commons to
protect them against this new enemy.
The result was that the bridge was not
built till 1880 Blackfriars, at first
called Pitts bridge, was finished in
1859, at cost of 100000, betrayed
by tolls. Waterloo was opened on the
second anniversary of the great battle,
with great pomp by the prince regent
in person. accompanied by his royal
brother, the duke of York, the duke of
Wellington and many other distin-
guiShed persons. .f. .....s ..-.. 81.

Future of the Submarine.

In spite of the fact that the British
have some steam-driven 2,700.ton sub
marines, capable Of surface speed of
from % to % knots, the submarine as
a weapon of war is too slow and too
blind when it is submerged to be con-
sidered serious weapon of naval war
fare. When it can see, electrically, to-
distance of 10 to Is miles while it
is submerged SO deep as to be invisible
to the airscout, and when it cam
steam 20 knots submerged, 1t will

STRIKE POOR

1t is reported that the management

Company and the employees have again

dence of an early settlement The
company has issued a statement in
which it declares that as a company
it is mot in favor of nor will it en-
tertain any dealings with groups or
or are represented by outside organiz-
ations or either or the above or
unions"
The position is justified by the
statement that such union organiza-
tions in attempting to force demands
on industry, have been unmindful of
its solemn obligations to industry and
have resorted to unjust. Illegal and
destructive measures by employing
some of the basic principles such as
the strike and boycott methods to
which this company is opposed. We
want no such partnership in carrying
on our industry" The company of
fers to confer with any representative
of the employees. "The contrary prin-
ciple is that which is insisted upon by
the union organizations" the state
ment continues, (which seeks to force
industry to deal not with representa-
tives chosen by free and fair partici-
patton of all the employees, but with

DO NOT BELIEVE IN
BIG BONUS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEN UNWILLING TO
GIVE $4,000

The Amity Leather Products COM
pany of West Bend, Wis, probably will
not come to Wausau as a result of
the action of members of the Wausau
Chamber of Commerce. A contract
drawn up by the concern which has
been looking for a satisfactory place
to locate, called for a donation of
$4,000 by the business men of Wau-
sau, to be used in the construction of
manufacturing plant. The common
council at recent meeting voted to
permit the concern to use the old city
hall during the period of its estab-
lishment in the city, when approxim-
ately 100 persons would be employed,
! three-quarters of whom would be wo-
men.
That the city has lost little is the
belief OF many business men who did
not approve of the donation: The as
sets of the concern, it is said, are
hardly sufficient to warrant such a
gift though local promoters who seized
the suggestion readily, believed fu-
ture development would be great
enough to make the promise of $25 900
logical.
A Danger
''The granting of the use of a build
ing such as the old city hail." declared
one business man to Pilot reporter
when he learned of the situation, "was
sufficient. If a concern cannot locate
IN the city without an inducement such
as that | would say Wausau is better
off without the plant There should
be state law whereby municipalities
offer hnnIc Of oh 20
concerns to locate in a city. The
granting of piece of land on which
to erect building is a different mat
ter; that is not unreasonable. When
the future of a concern is in doubt and
its present size is none too great, it
seems TO me large bonus is mighty
undesirable thing. In addition bonus
to one concern will make it harder
than ever to obtain concerns for the
city as each will expect a similar
treatment. If manufacturing plants
cannot come in because of the city it
self, | should say we would be better
off to let them go elsewhere"
The Chamber of Commerce News
Letter, edited by w. r. Chellis, secre-
tary, said: "The proposed industry did
not receive the support of our associ-
alton, therefore the industrial COM
mittee has discontinued it's efforts to
get the same. The industrial COM
mittee put in a large amount of work
on this industry, and it is with much
regret that the members showed so
little interest in a proposition that
would mean much to our community.
1t is hoped that we may never have
cause to regret it,"

MARATHON BOYS IN AUTO
ACCIDENT SUNDAY

party of Marathon men consisting
OF Ben He'll, Alfred Mucha, Ferd
Welsenberger and Ph. Ebersold met
with a serious auto accident on their
way home from Wausau Sunday even
ing at about 1880. They had been to
Wausau and were on their way home
when they discovered that their gaso-
line was too low to make the high
hills on their road So they turned
around to go back to Wausau to re-
plenish their gasoline tank. When
they approached the Little Rib river
bridge about three miles west of the
city, they observed car standing on
the right side of the road. This was
the car belonging to A. Gilbertson
or Wausau, who had been in the
country with his family and had
stopped near the bridge. Mr.. Gilbert
son and his ten year old daughter.
Florence had just left their car when
the Marathon car approached. The
front seat was occupied by Ben He'll.
the owner of the car and Alfred Mucha
who was driving the car at the time.
They were going at a pretty high
speed. Coming upon the Wausau
party rather unexpectedly, little Miss
Gilbertson was startled and attempted
to cross the road too close In front of
the approaching car. In ORDER to
avoid running over the girl, we are
told, Mucha swung his car rather
abruptly to the right, knocking the girl
over and plunging into the front part
of the Gilbertson's car occupied at
this time by Mrs. Gilbertson and two
daughters, Alice and Gladys.
The little girl was picked up and
taken to st. Mary's hospital where it
was found that both bones of her
right leg were fractured. The other
occupants of the Wausau car ESCAPED
and the four boys in Heil's
car escaped with few light scratch
es and bruises. Both cars were badly
damaged by the collision. AS bad as
the accident was, the boys can truely
say they were lucky that it did not
turn out worse than it did.-Mara-

CONGRESS PROVIDES FOR
DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS
ARMY FOOD

Congress has passed a measure by
which 341, 100000 pounds of surplus
canned vegetables and meats may be
sold to the public through the post
masters and carriers of every city
and town in the United States. Wau-
sau housewives may not be surprised,
therefore, at some early date to re-
ceiye a call from their postman. In
stead of walking by the house as us
ual he may stop and take your order.
A mail order business it viii be;
but just a temporary one and until
Uncle Sam is able to dispose of an
immense stock that has accumulated
as a result of the war and which
would long ago have been used up had
we still been bearing arms against
foe. The price to be charged for the
goods will be exactly what the gov
ernment paid plus the postage to your
home. Thomas Ryan, postmaster of
this city. has as yet received no
word from Washington but expects at
any time to receive an order. 1t is
known that s23,0O0,000 worth of
canned vegetables; $24,000,000 of
corned beef; $23,000,000 of bacon;
$1O,O00,000 or corn beef hash; S20,-
100000 of roast beef, and 10000, 900
worth of fresh meats and poultry, are
to be sold.
To Reduce Prices
The high cost of living has been
occupying the attention of many high
officials at Washington, who are eager
to do all in their power to reduce the
present exorbitant prices placed on
some foodstuffs. Atty. Gen. Palmer,
Secretaries Glass, Houston, Redfield
and Wilson, Assistant Sec. of the
Treasure Leffingwell, and members of
the federal trade commission have
been holding frequent conferences.
President Wilson is also giving much
thought to the matter. Especial in
VestigatiOn is being conducted as to
whether dealers have combined in vio-
lation of the law. The placing of
such tremendous quantity of army
food on the market at prices which
existed some months ago and which
are much lower than the same pro-
ducts can now be purchased by con-
sumers from individual dealers, will,
II is the prevailing opinion, force
some prices downward Following the
disposal of this food the administra-
tion will undertake a new course of
action.
