Harding Finds
Tariff Law Will
Give Prosperity
President Predicts Shortage
of Common Labor in 90
Days and Return to
Normally"
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
Washington Correspondent Omah. Ne


Washington, May l9.-(Special
Telegram. president Harding. ac-
cording to statements made at the
White House today. sees a return OF
prosperity aud believes that within
90 days there will be a shortage OF
common labor in the United States.
This is the first time the president
has 50 definitely committed himself
to- the idea OF tiic turning OF the tide
in industrial affairs.
The president finds all reports tav-
oring the idea that prosperity is just
around the corner and thinks il can
be frightened away only by flood
OF imports. The inference is clear, he
believes the tariff law should be re-
lied upon to prevent this.
The reports which the president
has shown as return to "normalcy"
in the farming industry, with the
exception of the livestock branch,
which is still suffering depression.
The grain industry, on the contrary,
is regarded as having turned the cor
ner.
The depression in the livestock in
dustry is regarded as due i'll part to
excessive freight charges. and the
president is seeking to remedy this
situation by the conference which he
will hold Saturday night with rail-
way executives. The president is
committed to the idea of lower
freight rates and is determined they
shall be brought about if possible.
The president believes differences
between capital and labor, as we'll as
rnisdirected corporation opposition
to necessary changes, can be brought
about by conference. It is with this
object in view that he consulted the
steel men last night with the view
OF having the l2-hour day eliminated
and will consult the railroad execu-
tives Saturday night with the view of
lowering freight rates.

Movies by Radio Now Possible
Method Of Sending Pictures by Wireless Perfected
After 20 Years Of Experimenting Inventor
Solves Problem While on Airplane Flight.

Always in the manufacture OF these
rings. OF which he also is the inven-
tor, there was an error which could
not be eradicated. The solution is
to take two of the prisnfatic rings,
one with plus error and the other
with an equal minus error, to give
the zero of perfection necessary to
accomplish the results which he an
nounced today.
Besides the prismatic rings. which
furnish the real secret of the new
method OF broadcasting pictures,
there is light detecting box which
takes the picture through a lens
in front of the prismatic rings and
as the light rays pass through, it
sends them out through the air just
as the voice is sent out by the car
bon transmitter On the receiving
end there is an ordinary telegraph
instrument with mirror affixed
to it. The light wave causes this
instrumen. to vibrate and the mir
rot sends the light on through a

than glass tube filled with carbon
bisulphide and wound with wire,

gone to the station several weeks
ago, ready to pull" the holdup. but
had been deferred by the accidental

had led them to fear their plot had

GETTING RID OF THE
WEAKJINGS

The American Federation of Labor
lost 100000 members of affiliated
unions during the year ending De-
cember 81. This out of total dues
paying membership of 100000.
Hard times exacted its toll--but the
"open shop" advocates can find moth
ing cheering or encouraging in the
showing. Odds are that their central
bodies suffered far greater losses,
both in revenues and in numbers, all
things considered, than did the labor
movement. And it's a safe bet that
If labor could not be disrupted during
| t,aes year JUS. ended the task may be
considered hopeless in the future.
| About once every fifteen or twenty
years labor suffers a slight setback
caused by just such opposition it is
encountering now, and it is consider
ed by leading labor officials as only
strengthening the labor movement
through eliminating the weaklings
from the ranks of organized labor.
The losses are confined almost en-
tirely to card" men, who only belong
to the union whenever it suits their
convenience to do so, and flop" the
other way whenever faced by any
thing in the way of trouble. Real
union wen will stand by their obliga-
ton.
The American Federation of Labor
has recently issued chart showing
the growth of that organization since
its beginning in 1884. Steady pro-
gress has been the rule. Three or
four periods of depression have re-
tarded its growth temporarily, but it
Immediately forged ahead with leaps
and bounds, gaining all it had lost
and enough more so that in a year
or so the temporary loss could not be
noticed.
So it will be with this setback.
Two million organized workers have
been added to the American Fedora
ton of Labor in the last six years.
What does a setback of 100000
mean, then-a mere wedding out of
weakened members who were more
harmful in the movement than they
are out of it. Taking past events as
criterion, and judging from its past
growth after periods of financial
stress and oppression, the American
Federation of Labor is due to reach
the ten million mark within the next
ten years.

Farmers in South Dakota Use the

average cost of material per farmer
of less than $50. Carson County Is

about So per mile. These knobs work
satisfactorily when the barbed wire
is tied to them with a short piece of
wire.
In order further to reduce the cost
some farmers tried pieces Of rubber
cut from automobile inner tubes as
insulators. Pieces of the tubing III
inches square were wound around the
barbed wire and fastened to the post
with staples. The county agent re-
ports that this insulation Is giving
satisfaction. although, of course, the
rubber will deterlorate In time.
The farmers were able to obtain sec

house, or the tenant house with the
farm home, at very low cost. While
