Argument for the latter location was
presented by Benjamin c. Halderman,
formerly division engineer in the Bureau
OF Highways, in charge OF city plans,
who eight years ago was the first to
draft plans for the proposed bridge.
Mr.. Halderman stated It as his belief
that a terminal at that point would be
more easily accessible than one situated
south of Market street, and that Il great
part of the traffic that would use the
bridge would come from the northeast
ern and northwestern sections of the
city.
Henry Quimby, chief engineer of the
Department of City Transit, asserted the
prospective industrial development of the
southwestern part of the city ought not
to be taken into serious consideration in
the location of the bridge. And II the
contemplated central traffic circuit Is not
brought into realization" he added.
Doctor Laird's plan for terminal at
Washington Square will be unfortunate !"
"If the bridge comes into Philadelphia
at the foot of Race street, as Is sug-
gested," he said, then It must be built
obliquely across the river to reach the
Courthouse plaza in Camden, which is
the logical terminal there. II II Is
built straight across from Race street

Chicago, Feb. 3.-The desirability
of government supervision of traffic

STEEL DRUM REMOVES BARK
Labor-Saving Device That Does the
Work of Many Men, and Does II
Rapidly and Well.

A new labor-saving device employed
by a pulp manufacturer Is a big re-
yolving drum in which a number of
logs are placed and tumbled about I'M
til all the bark has been removed, pre-
paratory to grinding them up for pulp.
This method of handling. says Elec-
trical Experimenter. does away with
the task of removing the bark with
knives. The drum is so feet long and
about 10 feet in diameter, and is COM
posed of angie-iron strips fastened in
side metal hoops, one edge of each
strip projecting inward and throwing
the logs about. Not only does the
drum dispense with the labor of sew
eral men, but it saves a considerable
amount of wood which is wasted by re-
moving the bark in the old way. The
labor involved in handling the logs is
further reduced by using a conyeyor
which brings them TO the dr1m and
carries them away.

London Daily Mail Forecasts Steps to
Be Taken by Government to Pro-
tect Public Service.

London, Feb. 5.-The ministry of la
Dor will intervene in the strikes which
are spreading throughout Great Brit
ain and Ireland If union officials fail
to gain control of the situation.
The following statement was is
sued:
"The government regards the labor
situation as a fight between regular
labor union leaders and rebels. If the
regular leaders are unable to gain con-
troll the government will then intervene
for the protection of society"
London, Feb. 5.-Plans for the
formation of civic guard to maintain
and protect public service have
been submitted to the authorities,
according to the Mail. which says that
n similar plan has been successfully
employed in Switzerland, Holland and
Australia.
The newspaper states that, should
the actions of the strikers warrant
such a course. the citizens may be
asked to form guard to maintain
transport, lighting and food supply
services and also to guard power sta
lions, flour mills and important fac
tories.
More than a quarter of a million
men We're demobilized in the week
ended January 30 and the total TO
date has exceeded million men. The
rehabilitation is continuing in the
most satisfactory manner, but the
opinions prevail here that the one un-
fortunate feature of the situation is
that the men are not being absorbed
IN civil occupations in proportion TO
the rate of rehabilitation
That the industries, of the country
are unable to provide all the men with
jobs is said to be almost entirely due
to the fact that industry is suffering
from a shortage of coal. This short
age is one of the most serious ques-
tions at present facing the country.
