RADIUM SAFES.
Lead Cases Used to Protect the Rays

Lead Cases Used to Protect the Rays
OF the Strange Substance.
Radum is such strange substance
that but few persons in all the world
are perfectly familiar with it and its
peculiar properties.
1t throws or a peculiar ray of light,
and If not protected 1t will In time ex-
haust itself. going no one knows ex-
actly where.
Its emanations are such that there
is but one known substance through
which it cannot pass. and that is pure
lead
For some time the problem of COM
plete protection against its own loss
through carnations and the possible
loss by burglars was puzzle TO scien-
lists and mechanics. but finally q safe
was constructed In London with an
inner cell of lead about three inches
In thickness, surrounded by specially
prepared outer safe. which is said to
be perfect safe for radium.
The strange STUFF is stored In those
safes and guarded with extreme care,
as 1t is of great value.
The safe door is round and so ad-
justed as to. make 1t possible TO dis
close any slight defect that might be
caused by the use of the opening. and
In the inner portion of the door are
openings through which tubes con-
tanning mercury can be placed to col
lect any emanations resulting on the
interior during the confinement OF the
curious substance. Mercury collects
the emanations and prevents loss in
that dlrection.-Los Angeles Times.

.NON-UNION and
union together

Spokane, Jan. est Is now quite
probable the barriers of non-unionism
will be temporarily forgotten and that
nearly all the stationary engines Of the
city, both organized and unorganized,
will cooperate to deal a death blow
to special engineers licenses. In the
abolition of the ordinance providing
for such licenses all resident engineers
seem to be ready to meet in a common
campaign.
Sec. A NJ. Duling Of the National
Association of Stationary Engineers of
this city is the originator of the move
ment in opposition to special licensing
and, despite the fact that he represents
a nonunion organization, union en-
gineers Of the city have expressed
themselves as being heartily in favor
with his efforts. 1t is likely that in the
near future the steam engineers union
and the National Association Of Sta
tionary Engineers will hold a joint ses-
sion to discuss the matter of knock
ing out the special license provision.

A HARD Fight
WITH STRAW Man
EDITORIAL IN THE CONTINENT
TELLS OF SOME OF THE DIRTY
WORK OF OHIO PAPER AGAINST
LABOR AND A PRESBYTERIAN
MINISTER.

The following is an editorial from
The Continent and tells some of the
straight facts regarding the work of
The Montgomery County Reporter
against the American Federation of
Labor and labor champion. Rev
Charles Stelzle Of the Presbyterian
church:
The Montgomery County Reporter, a
crude looking boiler-plated sheet that
someone is substituting down in Day
ton, o., to fight the American Fedora
ton of Labor, thinks it necessary to
include in it's warfare the Presbyterian
labor champion, Rev. Charles Sickle.
All the disorders and abuses that can
be possibly charged up to the labor
unions anywhere this fantastic sheet
blames first on Gompers and then on.
Sickle, and finally by this roundabout
route lays them at the door of the
Presbyterian church with noisy and
rather impertinent shout of Hey, what
are you going to do about it?" 1t is
interesting to note that in a recent
number of his journal, this editor after
having his usual bout with his straw
man labeled Sickle, airs his own views
on labor by praising ecstatically the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
because he has heard that that union
does not try to force anybody to Join It
and is against the closed shop, the
sympathetic strike and the boycott. If
this is indeed the real sentiment of
the editor of The Reporter he is surely
going to lot of unnecessary trouble
in trying so painfully to quarrel with
