thousands OF them-and many OF them
filed with the most expensive clothing
and jewelry. Besides all this, there is the
small but rich cargo of express freight
which the Lusitania garfield cargo
which was appraised at the time the liner
sailed at $4,000
Included in this cargo we're many
things which cannot have been harmed in
the least by their years OF immersion in
the dark depths of the Irish Sea. There
were precious stones valued at $1,000
great fortune in gold and copper metal,
$4,000 worth of sheet brass, and a variety
OF other goods that are worth Just as
much or more today than they were
when they left New York.
The Lusitania had not been beneath the
waves many hours before plans we're
under way for raising her precious cargo
and II possible the ship itself But, OF
course, no active move could be made
while the war was on and the waters off
tested with submarines.
AS early as 1916-less than year after

goes a long way toward relieving the low
temperature that would otherwise make

The task is made still easier by the I,u

which she lies is the ocean bottom. and

deck. which is above the vessels water
line and thirty-onc feet above her keel.
Just below these arc the cargo holds con-
tanning hundreds Of tons of valuable goods
that have undoubtedly not suffered in the
slightest from their long stay under water
In their efforts to recover the Lusitania's
treasure and perhaps the ship itself, it is
very probable that tho English firm which
has undertaken the task will have to call
to its aid the invention Of an American
Simon Lake, inventor of the tyne Of sub.
marine that bears his name Shortly
after the sinking OF the Lusitania, Mr..
Lake devised an apparatus designed espe-
cially for the recovery OF the valuable
cargo of this and other ships sent to tho
bottom by German submarines. He calls
it 'semi-submersible tube"
This unique device consists of steel
tube five feet in diameter and long enough
to reach from ship on the surface to
wreck several hundred feet below. The

inside OF the tube is fitted with n staircase
up and down which the divers climb. and
1t also carries telephone lines, electric
light wires and air pipes
AT the lower end the tube enlarges into
good sized working chamber, In which
the divers make their preliminary in
restigation OF a wreck and to which they
return for safety in case OF any emer.
gency. This chamber is equipped with
motors, powerful searchlights, apparatus
for controlling air pressure, and, most i'm.
portant OF all, a new and ingenious lens
arrangement which Mr.. Lake has chris.
tened the "aquascope." The latter is
really submarine spy glass which enables
the operator to look for considera BILE dis
tances through the dark ocean depths and
locate the wreck or whatever else 1t is for
which he Is searching.
1.-THE operator descends into the cham
Der by means OF stairway built into the
tube" says Mr.. Lake in describing his in
vention, and, after passing through the
airlock. goes into the working chamber.
He then loks through the aquascope,
while the steamer slowly navigates
around.
AS soon as the wreck Is located the
operator telephones to the captain Of the
wrecking steamer. and the latter brings
his vessel to stop over the wreck, fol.
lowing the manoeuvering directions tele.
phoned to him by the operator. The tube
Is then lowered onto the deck of the
wrecked vessel.
THE working chamber has door on its
under side. The air inside is equal IN
pressure to that Of the water outside, and,
as the doors open downward, 1t Is impos.
sible for the water to get into the tube.
when the doors are open the operator
equipped with divers outfit, can step on
to the deck of the wreck and Immediately
begin work on recovering the cargo or
other things of value. The recovered ar.
ticles are placed in sings or on hooks and
then hoisted to the surface by the der
ricks on the wrecking steamer.
"The operator carries with him special
type OF portable electric light which en-
ables him to see his way clearly about the
sunken vessel. Crossed lines or cut lines
are constant danger to ordinary divers,
but they have no qualms for our operator,
because in case Of trouble all he has to do
Is to walk back to the operating chamber
According to reports ut the time Of her
sinking, the Lusitania Is resting in forty
fathoms Of waterloo feet. If this depth
is correct it would be an easy matter to
recover the bodies imprisoned beneath
her decks as well as her cargo"
For raising sunken steamships, Mr.. Lake
says, the same apparatus is used, with the
exception that 1t can be operated only in
depths up to 200 feet. The special wreck

BOSTON, Jan. 29.-The people are

senate a repeal of all restrictions i'm
posed by the war on freedom of

The resolve calls upon the legisla-
ture to record itself to be firmly of
the opinion that restoration of Anglo
Saxon liberties will do much to quiet
the prevailing unrest and discomfort
In commenting on his resolve, SEN

antees of the bill of rights and has
long been regarded as an essential ele-
ment of free government. It seems
unbelievable that any good America
so soon after painful and costly
struggle to make the world safe for
democracy, should feel disposed to
limit even to the slightest degree those
rights and privileges - freedom OF
speech and freedom Of assemblage--
which are the most outstanding cha

Insurance federation, however, proves
that their. charges for administration
are as low as they possibly can be

Their Bold Claim.
The Labor World, at q later date,
will analyze and answer the claim of
the insurance agents in which It is
held that as workingmen do not have
to pay the cost Of insurance, which Is
borne by the employers. land If the
present cost is satisfactory to them
that ought to settle the matter"
We have time in this issue only to
say that the present law does not ade-
quately compensate injured working
men, nor does it sufficiently provide
for the care. of the dependents of
killed workingmen. Union labor wants
injured workingmen and the depend
ents of workingmen killed at their
occupation properly provided for.
When the legislat lure is asked to in
crease: the compensation under the
law the employers are there to oppose
an increase on account of the addi-
tional cost to them. The insurance
agents are there also aa partners with
the employers. against an increase.
Now labor has a plan to give higher
compensation to the victims of indus
trial accidents without increasing
the cost to the employers, and that
plan has in mind the elimination OF
the profit makers in the Industrial ac-
cident business. The money that they
now get. If paid to the state direct,
would be more than sufficient to prop
erly provide for every man and woman
injured or killed in Minnesota, in
dustry. That's how labor is inter-
ested in the cost of insurance land the
