become loose either from the coil or
switch point. More frequently the
alignment of variable condenser may
have gone away with the result that
the plates touch.
Fixed condensers, rheostats, poten-
tiometers-all may be tested by plac-
ing them in circuit with the electric
lamp.
In the case Of the coils and rhestats,
the lamp should light if everything is
all right.
In the case of the condensers. the
lamp should not light-unless some
thing Is wrong.
With the variable condenser, the
point at which contact is made be-
tween the plates may be ascertained
by watching carefully for a spark.
The lamp used for this purpose should
be of twenty-five watts. If 1t is too
large, the current flowing in the deli
cate windings Of such pieces as the
potentiometer may ruin 1t.
Where no electric current is avail
able, testing may be done by placing
battery in series with a telephone
receiver.
This is a method however, which
may mislead the inexperienced, for
even in coil where the circuit is &C
tually broken, small currents will
flow momentarily on account OF the
electrical capacity between the sep
arated portions of the circuit.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-what-
ever may be the basis Of agreement
reached terminating coal and rail
strikes President Harding is virtually
pledged to measures for prevention
Of their recurrence.
The battle of labor and big inter

avoid strikes will be no less stirring
than the fight between them now.
The forerunner of future fights may
be seen in the strong opposition of
Senators Phipps Of Colorado and
Du Pont Of Maryland millionaires.

magnate in divers interests. against
consideration of Senator Borah's bill
to establish a United States Coal
Commission"
Because the present strikes prob
ably will be settled before new legis-
lation could help in the situation,
there may be no new preventive acts
certainly no rail egislation-passed
by Congress this session
Perhaps, by the next session the
President will decide not to disturb in
dustry with new legislation. However
that may be, his thought now is to
pass new laws or amend present ones,
so that there can not be a recurrence
of the chaos caused by present up
heavals. To this end, he has indicated
plainly. he favors:
l. Increased authority for the Rail-
road Labor Board by putting teeth"
into the law, and relocating the board
at Washington instead OF Chicago.
2. Thorough investigation of the
mining industry. with an eye to legis-
lation for reorganization and estab-
lishment of a tribunal empowered TO
consider disputes between miners and
operators.
