 SCORES IN
 FIRST CLASH
GERMAN STRIKERS YIELD WHEN SURROUNDED BY PO- LICE.

 Despite the quick settlement of the trouble, the government officials fear that this early restlessness DOT tended series of strikes greater than occurred last winter.
 The government has announced that it is prepared to deal sternly with any radicals who attempt revo- lution along the lines of Bolshevism.

WAGE AWARD FOR THE SHORT
 LINES

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Wage awards which will affect more than hun dred thousand men employed on close to 600 short line railroads throughout the country will be announced with in the next few weeks, according to United States Railroad Labor Board officials, here today.
 The wages sought are similar to those asked by the Big Four Brother hood and employees on big roads. These employees, numbering two mil lion were recently awarded approxi- mately 50 per cent of their demands
 Though there are GOO shortiine railroads in the country, employees on 97 have asked the Board to apply the recent award to them. Originally 115 made application to the board but officials of IS of these have vol untarily applied the award and the applications withdrawn. In addition to these IS, 35 other roads have appli- ed the recent award, making a total of 53 roads voluntarily applying the award.
 The decision in the case now be- ing studied by the board will be of tremendous importance to employees on other shortline roads. What ac- tion is taken in this case is believed almost certain to be applied to all of them. It is considered most probable that the Board will cover all shortline roads in it's decision.
 The short line road employees are backed in their demands by officials of the Brotherhoods and the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. Practically all of them are members of the Brotherhood or of the Department of railway employees of the American Federation of Labor. Their request was not included in the earlier de- mands, because short line roads were operated under private control. It was only employees on roads that were formerly under federal control that asked for raise. The latter origi- nally made their demands when the government operated the roads and by the time they obtained the action sought, the roads were back in pri- vate hands.
 The same union officials who push ed the demands of the 2,000,000 railroad employees earlier in the year handled the presentation of the short line road employees case. President Timothy O'Shea, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, President L. E. Sheppard of the Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors, and B. M. Jew ell, President of the railroad shop mems union, were chief counsel for the short line road employees. Demands sought by the short line workers, if granted, would mean an approximate annual pay increase in 100000 pay envelopes of $50,000,000 if is estimated

 Direction Finder" The study of direction finder fol hostile airplanes was undertaken tc determine the direction of plane before it was visible, by determining the direction of the source of the sound given off by it's engines. This is how it was done:
 Two horns at fixed angle to one another conveyed the sound to oppo- site sides of the same diaphram and swung the. horn system, both in hor- izontal and vertical planes, until there was no movement of the diaphram because the sounds conveyd by both horns were of equal value and there fore neutralized one another.
 It was found very difficult to get zero readings, but with some training on the part of the observer the di- rection could be determined with considerable accuracy.
