PREDICT MACHINES WILL
REPLACE HAND LABORERS
CLEVELAND. July 3—A new
industrial revolution is going on in i
America without Americans general-' (
ly realizing it, according to several i
leading foundrymen of the country 1
who were here recently to attend >
the convention of the American
Founrymen’s organization of the C
foundry industry. • (
The return to prosperity, coupled r
with the restriction of immigration c
and the present shortage of labor a
is bringing about an overturn in | fc
the iron working trade, a change n
destined to dislodge hand labor in <
the next ten years and largely to j
eliminate the old fashioned small' i
foundary in favor of the foundry of j
mass production, the foundrymen <
claim. • f
Leaders in the foundry industry ,1
foresee common labor growing more ' v
and more scarce: they foresee la
bor saving machinery developing to
degrees never imagined before; the
automobile industry calling for
greater mass production, and the;;
engineer and trained technician tak- j1
ing the place of the old rule of j
thumb bosses who have managed 1
the foundries for years.
Albert E. Howell, of Somerville.
N. J., a newly elected director of;:
the association, predicted that in . i
the new era of the machine in foun-!l
dry practice, the old fashioned all! i
around mechanic was disappearing.
■‘Molders and laborers are both
very scarce in the las:, Mr. Howell
said. “Fewer young men are goinej
in’:o molding partly, I suppose, be-1
cause they fear their places are j
likely to be taken by machinery, j
Foundry workers are becoming spec
ialists trained to handle special piec
es of machinery. This all around
man in the foundries is going the!
same way a? the all around man j
in many another meta! working in- •
1 us try.”

Recognized

Standard
and said to be capable of carrying
a quantity of explosives sufficient1
to destroy a large portion of a mod
ern city is being assembled at Me- j1
Cook field, the army air station, un
! der direction of Walter H. Barling, '
its designer.
M ith its great width and other
measurements in proportion, the 1
plane will dwarf the largest ships
now used. The height of the new
plane will be 28 feet, while its
length from nose to tail will be
85 feet. •
Driven by six Liberty engines, the *■
new ship will require a minimum ^
crew of four men and contain provi- '
sions for a working force of eight c
men to be used when the occasion 1
requires. Exclusive of the crew, it
will weigh more than 40,000 lbs.
W ith the idea of obtaining a
maximum of lifting power, stability
and safety, Mr. Barling designed
the ship as a tri-plane of modified f,
type. The upper and nether wings V
will be of practically the same dimen- G
sions, while that in the center will ^
be narrower. Along its length will p
run the control deviees giving them
protection and adding a feature of
safety.
Describing the value of the new °1
plane as a machine of war. Mr. m
Barling, who during the war did iri
much experimental work for the rc
British Royal Flying Corps, says n(
that its maximum load of several ct
tons of explosives could do untold
damage. One bomb of the size
which the ship can carry would be
capable of sinking the largest and
newest type of naval vessell, he be
lieves.
Likewise, a single bomb from the
naehine he declares, could demor
alize an entire community. Should |
such a projectile be dropped in the
center of a city, he says, a fifty
'oot crater would be dug, all build- j
ngs in the vicinity completely des
royed and structures for a half
nile or more around would be
Teatly damaged.

GERMAN CAPITAL SEEKING

LONDON, July 3—German trade
magnates are seeking corfirol of the
oal. iron and oil of China, accord
og to information supplied to the
tritish Board of Trade from trust
worthy sources.
The Stinnes interests have $2,000
00 already invested in coal con
essions in Ho-nan, Hu-nan, and
ear Pukow. This group has found

'is company ha? something like
1,000,000 invested in coal and iron

The pressure of the new economic

y the results of the great war and j
le difficulties arising out of the
>ymem of reparations, has prompt
1 German capitalists to seek a prof
able outlet for their capital in the
let. In prewar days the main in-;
