'Gompers Sees
Move Packers to
Destroy UnioniSm

Washington, Mar. 15.-Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, declared in a
statement today that the proposal of
Armour and Company and Swift and
Company to put into effect in their
plants plan of industrial democ-
racy" was a part of the "anti-union
campaign"
what the packers SEEK" he said.
lis the destruction of the trade unions
which have given the employees real
representation and which have gain
ed for them a measure of real free
dom and the substitution of some
thing that will destroy this represen-
tation and give to the packers I'M
abridged autocracy and power.
THE packers now have initiated or
have followed into, the anti-inion
campaign and announce first reduc-
ton in wages of workers and then
propose to introduce. scheme of So
called industrial democracy in their
plants. 1t is seriously doubted that
they can succeed in putting that into
operation, for the workers would en-
joy about as much of industrial DEM
ocracy' as the cattle and sheep, once

New Electrical Action

Interesting. though technically in
complete, reports from Denmark,
signal the recent discovery, by two
engineers, that an electric current
passed through such a substance as
photographic stone sets up attraction
phenomena of an apparently new
order. says the February Popular
Mechanics Magazine in an illustrat-
ed article. A novel form of electro
scope Of extreme sensitiveness and
simplicity has been built, and a
number Of curious wireless expert
ments performed. Use of the new
principle in constructing radio ap-
paratus is declared to increase the
speed of both transmission and re-
ception about 20 times, and a spe-
cial receiving instrument developed
a capacity of 800 words a minute,
wireless-telephone messages were
made to record themselves on pa
per. and a loud-speaking wire tele-
phone was arranged with two vio-
Inns as the transmitter and receiver,
one of them loudly repeating the
words spoken into the other.

Pitch of kettledruns

A new development in the manu-
facture of kettledrums, illustrated
and described in the February Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine, makes it
possible to play. full octave and q
half Of the chromatic scale, with
three drums, without the necessity
of altering the head tension by
means of the hand clamps An
other assertion is that any full or
half step. within the range of any
particular size drum, may be in
stantly sounded without a change in
the adjustment of the hand clamps
after the preliminary tuning has
been accomplished. The variations
are made possible by a pedal and
a system of cables which, pulling
upon the hand clamps, increases or
decreases the tension of the drum
head. The pedal may be locked in
any position. corresponding to de-
sired tone, or it may be moved up
or down to allow the. sounding of
any note of the full range. Learn
ing to manipulate the pedal is on
the order of the muscle training
gone through in mastering the slide
trombone.

Home Brew Origin

The home brew we hear so much
about now is not new at all. In fact.
the Persians claim to have discover
ed the process of fermentation.
King Jamshid, something like three
thousand years ago, had "a great jar
full of grapes. These grapes press
ing upward on one another squeez-
ed out the juice. This juice fer
mented and became sour. King
Jamshid, on tasting it, thought II
was poison, and had ii so marked
and stored away in the cellar One
of his wives, becoming jealous. de-
cided to commit suicide. She found
the jar marked poison" She drank
freely, but instead of dying she be-
came very happy. She repeated this
process of poisoning herself The
king could not understand her
changed attitude. He inquired Of
her. and she confessed. Thereafter.
the king and his court were very
regularly poisoned" themselves.
Thus we have three thousand years
ago the origin of home brew. A
knowledge of the history of the past
convinces us that after all we are
not so original as we think we are.
Our debt to the past is very great.

Governor of Ukelele

1t will be of interest to many
friends and relatives in Bangor and
his native city of Brewer, to learn
that Wallace r. Harrington, vice
president and general business man.
ager of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
is being backed by what is some
times called the wealth and in
telligence of the Territory" for the
appointment as governor of the
territory at the hands of President
Harding.
In a business, political and social
way, Mr.. harrington has been prom
inent in his adopted city in the Mid
Pacific and has succeeded in a fl
nancial way as we'll He has taken
prominent stand in educational
matters and has been at the head
of the school system of the territory
and prominent in the affairs of the
new university at Honolulu.
Mr.. harrington was the youngest
of six children of the late Joseph
Rider Harrington, formerly of
Brewer, and for many years super
lntendent of the farm and profess
sor of agriculture at what is now
the University of Maine. Wallace
graduated at Maine in 1891 and for
a time Immediately after was night
editor Of the Bangor Daily News.
He was later engaged in newspaper
work in Waterville, Rockland and
Springfield, Mass, but went to
Honolulu about % years ago. For
several years he was editor of the
Bulletin, but when the consolida-
ton of the two leading papers was
brought about, he became the gen
eral business manager. The paper
mas been very successful under his
direction.
Mr.. harrington married a charm
ing California girl and they have
three children, the oldest, a son,
having recently graduated from the
University of Wisconsin, where the
fathers brother has been a profess
sor for many years. The young man
received commission during the
recent World war. A daughter was
married about a year ago to a cap
tain in the regular army, then sta
toned in Hawaii
The only other candidate for ap-
pointment to the governorship, is a
native Hawaiin, the present dele
gate to Congress. Maine people
should feel proud to hear of Mr..
F'arrington's selection to the i'm
portant position and many will
help materially to urge his appoint
ment before the President-elect.

JaZz-Humor OF Music

Most musicians, even lovers of the
classics. like Jazz" After all. what
is Jazz but humor? The whole
thing started as a musical joke. In
the good old days of horse cars
with straw on the floor to keep
your feet warm) the warmers band
or rube band. or hick band, used to
be a feature of the circus and be-
tween the acts at theatres where
farces were played. They used
slides on the trombone just as they
do now, paper mutes to produce a
rattle on brass and string instru-
ments, squealing f fiat clarinets,
and many other features, including
occasional groans by members of
the orchestra. 1t was all very fun
ny and very innocent just as is
"iazz" music today. The idea that
the freedom of the modern dance
has anything TO do with the sort of
music to which it is performed is
stupid. 1t might just as well be
claimed that music by Beethoven or
Chopin or Tschaikowsky is i'm
mortal because it is interpreted
by dancer who reads into it a re-
