RULE PENNSY SHOP
ELECTIONS BY ROAD
and UNIONS, ILLEGAL

CHICAGO, Aug. declaring cleo
lions OF employees committees held by
the Pennsylvania railroad and by the
PENNSYLVANIA shop crafts unions illeg-
al and void, the United States rail-
road labor board yesterday issued a
decision ordering a new ballot to Sc
iect a committee on negotiation OF
rules covering working conditions to
replace the national agreements es-
tablished during federal control.
The decision also Cancelled rules
now In force as result Of agreements
reached by the railroad with the COM
mittee elected on the Pennsylvania
ballot.
Shop crafts unions are recognized
fully in the boards decision, although
non-union men were declared to have
full and equal rights. In form bal
lot drafted for use in the new election,
employees are to be given their choice
of representation by the Pennsylvania
system federation, affiliated with the
railway employees dspartment of the
American FederatioF Of Labor. the
American Federation of Railroad
Workers, or by any other organization
or individual for whom a majority
vote Is cast.
Ignores Closed Shop Dispute.
The labor board refused to be
drawn into a discussion of the open
shop, for which the Pennsylvania has
commended openly. Itwas on this prin
ciple that the railroad refused recent
ly to recognize the unions claims to
representation of the majority of shop
employees and proceeded to hold a gen
eral election. The board, however
said the dispute, which arose over the
unions claim, was merely one of pro
cedure."
Neither the Pennsylvania genera
election nor a ballot conducted by the
system federation was fair or legal
the board said, and the employees
consequently have been denied thell
legal right to select representatives
for this important conference OF
rules"
The boards ruling orders confer
ence on or before Aug. 10 between rep
resentatives of the road, the Pennsyl
vania System Federation or any othei
organization having shop crafts mem
bers established to function as labo
organization, as set forth in the trans
portation act, and any other represen
tative carrying the signed authorize
ton of 100 unorganized employees.

The moon can be observed in the

is wan and pale Is an advantage In

latitude and longitude are to be got

learned-at cost of thousands OF

he took a furlough to rest from his

POWDER TESTS

n nee upon time chemist was
~ sitting with his feet cooked up on
the table smoking his pipe. 1t was IN
of day for the bad-smell artist.
The door opened and In walked
boy. He handed small jar to the
artist mean chemist. In the jar
were several Jumps Of yellow dough.
One was streaked purple like a rum
listers nose. MAC says he thinks
you'd oughta see this" began the boy.
A terrific explosion was the answer ne
got. The chemist seemed to shoot in
to the air, His pipe landed in the
corner. The boy picked 1t up, stuck 1t
into his teeth, and went away. He was
safe because of the purple streaks on
the yellow Jumps in the glass jar.
The Jumps were smokeless powder.
The jar was the visual-test jar In
which samples of powder brands are
kept in laboratories. The purplish
streaks told the chemist that this par
ticular brand was disintegrating, was
becoming dangerous; might at any
minute break down, ignite. and blow
its container-whether battleship or
box-into smithereens.
So he exploded. He wired al. ships
having that particular Index" OF pow
der aboard what had happened. And
he took pains to bury safely all OF 1t
that was within danger distance OF his
own back yard.
That was years ago. Nowadays
every man-of-war keeps her eye on her
own powder by series Of iron-clad
tests and inspections that beit the
seriousness of having a thousand lives
to guard. Indeed the tons of explosive
aboard one warship is sufficient to
destroy a fleet if properly placed.
The powder is slowed in bags, the
bags in alright tanks, the tanks in
watertight rooms called magazines.
Magazines must be kept at less than
100 degrees F. always, and, as rule,
at not more than 95 degrees f. Each
has little shelf on which stands the
glass Jars, one for every brand OF
powder in that magazine. About ten
o'clock in the morning the chief gun
ner goes about the ship recording all
magazine temperatures and scrutiniz-
ing the little yellow Jumps In the Jars.
A purplish hue which so excited the
! chemist is caused by action Of freed
acid on the indicator This is added
70 powders in order to provide safe
ty signal when there is danger Of ex.
plosion due to chemical decomposition
The gunner looks carefully for any
such signs. Litinus paper is stuck into
the necks of the Jars. It Is saturated
with an indicator" and changes color
| In the presence of acid.
Besides this daily so-called visual
r test" there Is held twice a year the
semi-annual surveillance test" Sam
pies from all the powders are heated
to temperature of 65.5 G and kept
there for sixty days or until they
break under the strain.
