Chicago June 25.-The Einstein
theory OF relativity is to be subject,
ed 10 new practical test by Prof
Albert A. Nicholson Of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, whose discoveries led
| to its formulation. The forthcoming
/ experiment is expected either to lend
| substantial support to the theory OF
/ to disprove it,
Professor Nicholson, who is now
lecturing at the University of Paris,
is expected back about July lst and
the test is planned within the next
year. 1t will be conducted under the
auspices of the University Of Chi.
cago. either in this city or in some
mountainous country.
The experiment has been under.
taken at the request of DIR. Ludwick
Silberstein, of the Eastman Research
Laboratories at Rochester, n. Y, who
has worked out its terms. 1t is said
that Prof. Albert Einstein on his re
cent visit to the United States ex-
pressed his belief in the efficacy OF
the experiment.
Just what II Is planned to do to
determine whether Einstein's theory
holds or not was explained here to-
day by Prof. Robert A. Millikan,
colleague of Professor Nicholson in
the department of physics of the Uni
versity Of Chicago Divesting the SUBJ
ject of technical details, Professor
Millikan said
This is, as matter Of fact, an
experiment suggested by Professor
Nicholson 20 years ago as one way
Of testing whether or not it is pos
sible to detect motion Of the earth
with respect to the medium which
carries light
"All efforts thus far made to de-
tect by means of light effects the
motion Of any material. body with re-
spect to the ether have failed. But
all preceding attempts have been
made with the idea of trying to
measure the linear motion through
space Of a point on the earth with
respect TO the ether surrounding that
point, and the results thus far OBJ
tained have been wholly negative.
In other words the observed ef.
fects have been precisely those TO be
expected if there is no relative motion
of the earth with respect TO the ether
at all To illustrate, if an oblerver
were himself immersed in a great
sphere Of rotating water and were TO
send sound signals simultaneously
forward in the direction in which he
l. NJ oil Sko pLry y-1 and
If these sound signals were reflected
by mirrors placed at equal distances
ahead and behind him. the echoes
would obviously come back at the
same instant, provided there were
no relative motion between himself
and the water. In other words, he
could not detect by such an expert
ment the movement of himself or
the water unless he were moving
more rapidly or more slowly than
the water, in which case he would
be able to detect and 10 measure his
relative motion with respect to the
water by the difference in the time
Of return Of the echo from the for
ward mirror and the back mirror.
Now the results of all experiments
of this sort up to date in which we
have sent light signals forward and
back have been 70 show no differ
ence in the time Of return OF the
light echo 10 the observer. From
this the conclusion has been drawn
that the ether, If II exists at ALL
moves with the earth so as TO make

it impossible to detect any relative
motion.
THE special theory of relat, ;ity
as generally stated consists in the as
sertion that it is impossible TO detect
the motion Of any body with respect
to the ether. The statement would
be more conservative if put in the
form that all experiments up TO the
present have failed to detect such rel.
ative motion.
Now Professor Nicholson pointed
out some 20 years ago, that if the
ether is dragged along with the earth
at its surface, 1t would have to be
dragged in different amount near
the equator than near the pole, be-
cause of the fact that the motion Of
rotation of the earth is greater at the
equator than at the poles. Hence one
way Of testing whether or not we can
detect motion of points on the earth's
surface with respect to the ether would
be to send light signal in different
directions around the earths pole and
see whether the two signals came
back to the starting point at the
same instant If there We're any rel
ative motion of the earth with re.
spect to the ether they would not do
so. But if the ether in the neigh.
borhood of all portions Of the earth
had the same motion as the earth
just beneath it, then the two sig.
nails would come back at exactly the
same time, for the experiment would
be quite analogous to that of an
observer in the big tank of rotating
water mentioned above.
The experiment was not tried ir
tits form because it was thought that
the form that Professor Michclson
did employ was practically equiva'ert
to it and showed that the result would
have been negative II 1t had beeN
tried.
Now Or. sl,berstein has asked PRO,
fessor Nicholson TO take up again lht
projected experiment because he has
computed tina. If the general t,'corr
Of relativty is correct, there should
be a difference in the time OF return
TO the source Of signals sent in op'
posite directions around the pole IN
the manner indicated.
"A little computation shows that
it should be just as satisfactory to
send a beam around a circuit Of
known area in the latitude Of Chicago,
as in the latitude Of the pole.
The difference between this ex-
pertinent and its predecessor liz in the
fact that this utilizes the changing
speed which the earth's rotation inn
poses upon points of different dis
tances from the earth's pole,> while
the former was quite independent of
this fact.
Professor Nicholson has therefore
agreed in view Of the immense in
terest which there is now in rela-
tivity 10 take UP against his expert
ment. which has acquired added in
terest because of the fact that Dr..
Silberstein's analysis Of the theory
of relativity requires that there be
positive measurable effect when
the experiment is performed in this
way.
If the predicted amount of this
effect is exactly checked experiment.

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS.

Undeterred by the results of past
experiments in government regulation
of business, the congress which now is
taking a rest passed two bills pro-
viding for federal interference and
has another one pending. The packer
control law and the law governing
boards of trade probably will cost the
taxpayer a lot of money and will &C
complish little beyond raising prices
to consumers. The bill regulating the
coal industry still is on the calendar.
The trend of all such legislation, of
course, is in the direction of fixing
prices since the price at which an ar
tiele is bought and sold is what in
terests the public. The people care
little about the method of doing
business, provided they are not
gouged anywhere along the line.
Price fixing by government edict
has failed every time it has been
tried, and it has been tried off and on
for two thousand years. The reason
is plain. 1t is not fair to fix the prices
of all commodities and services. No
man or group of men is competent to
fix a fair schedule of prices for all
commodities and services. Injustice
imposed by law will react upon those
who are its beneficiaries. Sooner or
later the working of the law ofOcom-
pensation will equalize the injustice.
Fixing prices may be to the advan-
ta-e of one class this year but there
will be a reaction next year to the in
jury of that class. If prices be fixed
too high, there will be over-produc-
ton; if too low, there will be under
production. And, in any event, price
fixing by government is a setting aside
of the right of equal opportunity
which the. government is bound to
protect. Favoritism in one instance
leads to favoritism in another, the Gre
alton of spirit of antagonsm toward
government. feeling that an inJus-
tice has been imposed under the forms
of law.
The whole trouble in the coal bust
ness today is due to the governments
establishing a scale of wages for
miners
