FRANCE 10 BUILD STEEL, CONCRETE LINEOFDEFENSE Work on Plan of General Staff Will Begin in July. ■Bn United Prc.se PARIS, May 13.—Convinced that the next war, like the last, will be a trench war, France will begin in July the construction of a hugs fortified line along her Eastern frontier with concrete trenches and dugouts linking sunken forts, as solid as steel and cement can make them. Huge new forts, containing emplacements for greater guns than any which boomed during the World Wra, will be undermined with subterranean magazines for ammunition, kitchens, hospitals and sleeping quarters for defense troops and gun crews. Between the forts will be scattered cement store houses, as near bomb proof as possible, to contain barbed wire, sandbags, entrenching tools and other military engineering supplies. All these will be oonnected by trenches, some of them merely theoretical, but others built of reinforced concrete to resist winter frost. Sees Little Change In' the French general staff which is perhaps as good as any in Europe, the experts are convinced that war methods have changed but little since 1918 despite the progress in aviation. The staff advanced two theories for the erection of this great defensive bulwark. One was for building a complete trench system between the Engli.ih Channel and the Swiss border. The other was for erection of storehouses along the same line. They eventually combined the two ideas. The work has been delayed by lack of money, but funds are now available .Xor the work along the Rhine in Alsace and Lorraine. The old French defense system, built after Germany took the two Rhine provinces in 1810, ran from Verdun to Switzerland by Toul.

MACHINERY ENDS CHILD LABOR IN I GLASS INDUSTRY Federal Report Shows Great Changes Wrought in Twenty-five Years. By Roscoe B. Fleming Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 13.—This Is the story of the machine and what it has done to the glass industry of the United States in twenty-five years. It lias eliminated child labor—the i spectacle of thousands of boys 9 to I 11 years old, struggling throughout ! the day in a heat of 110-140 degrees j with the air thick with flying feathi ers of glass. It allows an output up to forty times as much per man as in the old hand-working days of 1899. Wages Doubled | It has eliminated hundreds of thousands of potential jobs, but has more than doubled the wages of the 'men still employed—an average wage of $512.78 a year in 1899 compared with one of $1250.32 in 1925. It has replaced the 355 comparatively small and scattered plants of 1899 with 310 giant • establishments more than 200 of them being valued at $1,000,000 or more apiece, with an average output of four to six times that of the plant of 1899. It has enabled 69,000 wage earners to put out products valued in 1925 at $295,959,000, against an output of only $56,540,000 by the 52,000 workers of 1899. This is an increase in output value from an average of $1,066 a year per man to $3,4300 per man. At the 1899

rate It would have taken 277,000 workers In 1925 to' do the work actually done by 69,000. Profit Split

In 1899, however, the worker got as wages approximately half the value of the finished product. In 1925 he got considerably less than a third, the employer and the public through the lower price of glassware, splitting the rest of the profits. Tha facts are disclosed in a study summarized by the U. S. Department of Labor. An Owens automatic machine can produce forty-one times as many bottles as a band shop employing seven men, the study showed. Machine cost was 2.7 cents for each $1 of hand cost. A machine can make common table tumblers twelve times as fast as nine men. The machine cost is 6.7 cents per $1 of hand cost. A machine makes electric light bulbs thirty-one times as fast as a crew of three men, at a cost of 3.39 cents per each $1 of luytd cost. A machine can make glass tubing seven times as fast as a crew of eight men by hand method, at a cost of 14.7 cents for each dollar of hand j cost. Plate (ilass Hand Made Only in the plate glass industry, where the machines are just commencing to dominate, is hand labor | keeping near them. Machines can only make plate glass one and a half times as fast as by hand, at a saving of only about 25 per cent. Most credit for the change is given to M. J. Owens, who put into production in 1904 the first really successful automatic bottle machine. In 1899 there were more than 7,000 child laborers in the industry, the department said, and there are practically none now. “Asa boy of 10 in 1899. Owens joined the thousands of children employed in the glass factories. He died in 1923, the genius of the industry, whose inventions contributed more than all other factors combined to the eomnlete elimination of children from the industry,” it is added.

COMFORT TO HORSES ON TRAINS! New Order Stipulates Num-j ber of Attendants to Each Car Load. Times titaff Correspondent 81l 2 VBA Service WASHINGTON, May 13.—Horses horses, horses—interested in horses, horses, horses, are the staid members of the Interstate Commerce Commission. They have just announced their decisions that thoroughbred racing horses, polo ponies and show horses shall not be expected to travel without sufficient comfort and attendance. More than nine race horses In a car need six attendants who, the oomnpission has decided, shall ride | free. A total of thirteen or more polo ponies in a car need three attendants. In many instances, at present, only two free-riding attendants per car are allowed. The value of horses of this kind I runs .about SIOO,OOO per car. The express companies opposing j the increase in free-riding attendi ants say that these horses are ship- | pod at a declared valuation of S2OO I per animal, which would make a j valuation of only $2,400 for a load of twelve horses instead of SIOO,OOO, and said that the Increase would make them pay passenger fares out of proportion to the express rates charged.
