WelI-informed persons recall that
Britain's answer to India's cry for
freedom was the Amritzar massacre
of men, women and children a few

is an unusual willingness to believe

TRADES DENY
LOCKOUT
ENDED
Building Trades Council Is
Expected to Make Short
Work of the Carpenters
Agreement Tonight.

No immediate prospect of
settlement is in sight in the
Building Trades controversy,
despite the statements of ccr-
tain local papers. The only
means by which an early set
tlcmcnt could be arrived at
would be by the Building
Trades unions accepting the
tentative terms arranged by
Il conference of officials of the
Carpenters union and Il COM
mittce of the Associated Indus
tries.
Tho Building Trades council
meets tonight and delegates
state that there is not the
slightest probability Of the
Council or the affiliated unions
accepting tho open shop agree
mcnt that was given so much
publicity yesterday. Building
tradesmcn are frank in stat
ing that to accept the agree
ment urged by the organizer
for the carpenters would be
nothing less than suicide for
building Trades unions.
One clause provides for the
open shop and for the dismiss
al Of union men 'for any rca-
son whatever by the em-
ploycr. Another clause elm
mates the sympathetic strike,
without which the Building
Trades are at the mercy of the
employer.
One delegate to the Building
Trades council put the matter
in this manner: ''Building
Trades work is not Il steady
occupation and the only time
we can bring any pressure to
bear OH Il contractor is when
he has a building in process
of construction. If grievances

Measuring sludce.

An ingenious method Of measuring
the depth Of sludge in deep sedlmen-
tation tanks is employed at the sew
age disposal works of Fitchburg.
Mass, says a Canadian writer. The
measurements are made by means Of
a pitcher pump and IS feet Of 1-inch
rubber hose. marked In 1-foot lengths
The pump Is screwed to a 3-foot plank
and attached 10 the hose by a union
coupling. In making measurements
the plank is placed across the top OF
a gas vent and the hose pushed into
the tank until II Is near the supposed
sludge level. The hose is then low
cred an inch at time. Between each
shift sufficient pumping is done to
insure complete change Of water in
hose. When the sludge level Is reach
ed, the pump viii raise sludge. The
length Of the hose below the chimney
top is then noted, and as the distance
from top of chimney TO bottom Of
tank is known Il is an easy matter to
estimate the depth OF the sludge.

The mountain peaks of Popocatepetl

they are some sixty miles away.
Barefooted or lightly shod natives
stepped gingerly into the strange ele-
ment, and afterward spent most Of the
day huddled In their homes or in shell
tering hooks and corners. The snow
furry was due to sudden drop In

DANGER IN ELECTRIC CURRENT
Neither Fixtures Nor Appliances
Should Ever Be Touched by
Anything That ls Wet

No electric appliances should ever
be placed where person In bath
tub can reach them. Such Is the as
sertion of DR.. A. Zimmern In the
Presse Mesiicale tparisl in comment
ing on the death Of colleague. Elec-
trocution has taken place with a cur
rent OF only 40 volts under such cir
cumstances.
The reason is that the water on the
hands and body provides exceptionally
favorable conditions for conduction OF
the current II is not safe TO touch
even an electric light. heater or bell
when in the bath. Doctor ZImmern
cites recent cases as follows:
woman killed by holding an cleo
trio light IN one wet hand while turn
ing water faucet with the other;
woman killed by wiping with a wet
cloth the current distributing appar-
atus for an electric heater; a man
receiving a severe shock by taking
hold Of chandelier while holding an
electric light suspended by a wire.
II is very dangerous to change an
electric bulb when the hands are wet
OF the floor is wet: slight defect In
the insulation may cause severe
shock or even death.
