Vol. XIII. No. 16. SEDELENEfl By Leroy J. Beckman FOR THE PAST week the prin— cipals of the NRA, unionized work- ers, and independent manufacturers were combined in conflict as evi- denced by the striking of union workers in 21 Toledo manufacturing plant. Conflict between the employ- er and the trade union has been an existing condition for a period of years, but it will always be a source of embarrassment for General Johnson and the NRA administra- tion. DISSATISFACTION IN THE re- lation between the employer and the union cannot be accounted for as the fault of’ any single group in. volved. Unreasonable demands on the part of the union, or lack of rea- soninp,r on the part of the employ— er will exist singly or simultaneous ly. Remedy for the situation lies at the root of organization. FROM THE standpoint of the union, we recognize the underlying; principles of American democracy and the rights of the American citi~ zens. The union dues, or rather should, take into account these phases—wwithout regard for self-in- terests. And yet, how often does one hear the opinion of the union menu- ber voiced in utter disgust? Based on observations we feel safe in say- ing, “many times.” Of course, all branches of organized labor do not function for the good of the “top— mon,” but there is no doubt but what the member will appear “sat~ isfied" for the sake of employment irregardlcss of policies enacted. WITH REFERENCE to the whole. of industry, we recognize the prob- lems encountered in industrial en— terprisc. Problems of production and problems of finance arc com- bined with the essential clement of employment. in many cases the em- ployer docs neglect proper contact with the employee, which in turn justifies unified action, The so—callcd “strike” was originally termed as the refusal to work, but in recent years the same term has developed into civil war, symbolic of something else beside common horse-sense. Abandon idea. of} All“. hair Exhibit Plans for an Armour Institute or; hibit at the World’s Fair this sum- mer have been definitely laid aside, Dean Hcald announced last Friday. It was the conclusion of the officers and trustees of the Institute, he said, that the expense of an exhibit would be unwarranted at present. While the general advertising value of an exhibit would undoubtedly be help- ful, it would be in the nature of an extra expense. Like most other schools, the Institute is not in a posi» tion today to afford an expenditure of this kind, not directly connected with instruction. Space rental, construction and in- stallation expenses, and operating costs would have brought the price of an exhibit to several thousand dollars, according to the plans which were contemplated while new)» tiations with the Fair were under way.

's and radio de- partments of Armour. The fre- qucncy of the waves used was 100,- 000 kilocycles, and the wave length was 3 meters. Professor Wilcox described some of the experiments briefly, the first being that with the vacuum tube as» cillator. He said that with this dc~ vice waves were produced, and he measured the wave lengths on wires. He also lighted a number of lamps at various parts of room by use, of the high frequency vibration. He demonstrated the fact, that the wave velocity on a coil of wire was very much less than on a straight Wire. It was also shown that the current at the center of a receiving aerial of about 1%, meters in length was much greater than at the ends. This was shown by use of an electric lamp, which was brightly lighted at the comer and loss bril- liantly at the ends. I l Graphically por ying a few of the many varied phases of modern motor car design, three movies were shown to the Armour branch of the A. M. E. last Friday by the Chrysler Motor Car Corporation. The films were entitled “Three 3 Minute.” “Hell Drivers," and “The Development of the New Air-Flow Chrysler.“ Exercises to Be Held in Goodman Theater dune 7 Mil GET DEGREES William Elgin Wickendcn. presi— dent of the Case School of Applied Science, will deliver the address at the thirty—eighth annual commence- ment exercises of Armour Institute of Technology Thursday, June 7, at 4 o’clock at the Goodman Memorial Theatre.
