SUCTION FANS TO
VENT|LATE TUNNEL
Air to Be Changed Every Two
Minutes in Passage Under
Hudson Driveway.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.--A puzzled
public in New York and New Jersey
and in other parts of the couatry--
has been wondering how the maSter
minds now Designing the gigantic
project of the wagon and auto tnnel
under the Hudson propose to Keep
the air clear. ..s.
Clifford NJ. Holland. chief engine er
for the New York bridge and tunnel
commission and the New Jersey inter
state tunnel commission, under whose
Joint auspices the tunnel VIII be
built. supplied the answer today.
There is hardly a day that passes"
said MIR. Holland. that am not asked
how we expect to keep the tunnel
from being filled with gas from the
constant stream of automobiles that
will pass through this 9,o00-feet-lons
below-the-river passage.
1.-THE answer is simple. We propose
to force fresh air into the tunnel ano
draw the foul air out of II cisely
as is being done every day in any big
building, such as an auditorium.
where thousands of persons are con-
gregated only on a much vaster scale,
of course. ..:..s
"The tunnel will be 5000 feet long,
but the points of ingress and egress
of fresh and foul air will not be sepa-
rated that distance.
There will be four huge shafts, or
chimneys. leading into the tunnel
which will be 3.400 feet apart at the
farthest. At the top of these shafts
there will be big powerhouses with
fans which will supply ventilation
much as it is furnished, in the mines.
There will be two kinds of fans,
"blower fans" and Exhaust fans

TEXTILE MILLS IN
JAPAN RE0PE:N|NG
Output in Many Instances Is
Reported to Be OF Infe-
rior Quality.

Indications Of improvement of
world markets are coming to officials
here from agents in Japan:
Reports from that country indicate
that the textile mills there are re-
suming operation. The financial con-
dition, however, is such that the re-
sumption has been slow to date, the
reports declare.
Trade Commissioner II. A. Butts.
stationed in Japan by the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
notes, however, in his reports that
the output OF Japanese hrms IS IN
many cases of poor quality ana IN
normal times would find poor
market in competition with American
made goods.
Conditions in Japan. however, are
such. the commission also reports,
that Japanese goods are given pref
erence in movement from the manu.
featuring centers and seaports over
all foreign goods, and that IF goods
could come without hindrance they
would find no difficulty in driving
Japanese goods out OF such sections
as Manchuria."
The Japanese silk manufacturers
gripped by low markets FOR their
OUTPUT, are directing their energies
more to future plans than present
production. Press announcements IN
Japanese newspapers tell of plans oil
the Japanese silk manufacturers TO
ioin with Italian silk men in further
ing the development of the SILK in
dustry in China. Low labor costs are
supposed to be the reason FOR the
proposed development of the Chinese
silk industry.
Japanese packing houses are stan,
dardzing the size of tin cans ana
computing contents in ounces other
renorts declare. Observers here sec
in this an effort to further invade
tho American market.

TIMBER WORKERS
PREDETERMINED
Mill Men Of Three States Putting
Up Valiant Fight for the
Eight-hour;; Day..

The strike Of the sawmill men in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan is
still on. The men are putting up
great fight and little attempt is being
made to operate any Of the mills out
side Of such points as Virginia, where
only day crews are employed. The
union at that is very well satisfied with
the situation there. At Cloquet ev-
erything is closed tight.
News comes from Washburne that
the Kenfield-Lamereaux box and craft
ing company at that point are willing
to concede the eight-hour day if COM
petitors will do the same, which is an
admission that such mills can operate
under the eight-hour day If the own
ers are disposed to grant it. *
At Iron Mountain, Mich, word
comes that the men are standing firm.
The Won Platten Lumber company an
nounces that its mill will be closed
for so days. There is no truth to the
report reaching here by way Of Vir-
ginia that the morale Of the strikers
at Iron Mountain was broken and that
40 men had applied for their old jobs
again. 81 d.

Every Non-Union Worker IN

CARNATIONS of employers, business
and professional men that have de-
clared for the so-called "open shop"
which as matter of experience Is q
non-union shop, is given by the or
ganization committee Of the FEEDER
ated Trades assembly. 1t is-Organ-

The committee will conduct an en-
ergetic campaign Of organization. An
attempt will be made to organize
every trade and calling in the city.
Any body of workers desiring organ
ization will be given the ready assist
ance Of the organizer and the organiz-
alton committee.
A pamphlet is being circulated
among all unorganized workers in
Duluth urging them to identify them
selves with organized labor. It reads
as follows:
''No man or woman who works for
wage or salary can afford to go it
alone these days. You can't get any,
where as an Individual. You are
simply lost in the great whirl Of big
tu1uSS. we are living III an age OIL or
ganization, and the worker who is not
a member of organized labor is out
of step with the times.
without organization the wages Of
the workers are subject to rise and
fall according to the condition of the
co-called labor market and without
regard to the cost Of living or the
share Of labor's contribution to pro-
duction. Organized labor gives sta
bility to wages and working condi-
tons.
"Profiteering, abnormally high
prices and other evils of which we
complain are the direct or indirect
result of organization and combina-
ton among those who control the
things you must buy to live and
thrive.
Think this over. Join union. If
there is no union of your trade or
calling in this vicinity why not start

ton committee Of the Federated
