Cloak Makers VIII Name
Wage Terms Wednesday

Answer Of the Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Protective Association
to the proposal the international
Ladies Garment Workers Union that
the present wage and working condi-
uons shall be maintained in any new
agreement entered into between the
manufacturers and the workers Will
be given at another meeting Wednes-
day night, Benjamin Schlesinger,
president Of the union. was notified
yesterday.
At the beginning of negotiations two
days ago, Mr.. Schlesinger declined to
agree to the admission of other as
soclatlons and Independent manufac-
turers to the parley. The ASSOCIATION
spokesmen held this to be essential
Tor the bringing Of reforms INTO the
industry, but Mr.. Schlesinger pointed
out that IN the event no agreement was
reached such failure of negotiations
would affect the entire industry in
stead of the association members and
the workers in their employ.
MIR. Schlesinger agreed, however, to
a general conference for discussing
means to eliminate the social" or CO.
operative shop, which was termed the
cancer of the industry" In the event
no agreement is reached by June /
when the old agreement expires, this

State Moves to Save
Thrift Bond Investors

George V. Mclaughlin, State Super
intendent of Banks, applied to Justice
Wasservogel in the Supreme Court
yesterday for authorization to put
into effect his plan to save about IL 900
investors from loss through the col
lapse of the National Thrift Bond Cor
poration. There was no opposition
presented. Justice Wasservogel re-
served decision.
An cary order is expected permit
ting the plan of redemption to be
carried out. The work of the Banking
Department will begin probably within
two weeks after the signing OF the
court order and it is believed that the
investors, most of them persons in
moderate circumstances, will not suffer
any loss, or, at least, very small loss.
The aggregate sum involved in in
yestments in thrift bonds, thrift bond
certificates and thrift bond receipts is
1891 600. The loss that will fall on
the 1000 investors, due to the de-
probation of collateral securities, is
figured at $54, ,740.
Under the plan of Superintendent
Mclaughlin the Greater New York
Savings Bank Will assume five
olevenths of the liability, while per
sons interested in the National Thrift
Bond Corporation Will voluntarily CON
tribute siX-elevenths.

Testimony Completed in
Miners Treason Trial

CHARLESTOWN, W Va. May 25
(By The Associated Press) .-- Test
mony was closed to-day in the treason
trial Of William Blizzard after nearly
four weeks. A night session was or
dered tonight, at which attorneys pre-
sented instructions they asked the
court to give the jury. Judge j. NJ.
Woods set six and half hours for
each side as the timu for arguments.
A few brief finishing touches on the
testim Of defense witnesses made
up the only evidence to-day, The de-
fense then made a motion once before
denied that the evidence of the state
be stricken out and verdict Of &C
quttal ordered. The motion, as be-
fore, was based on the claim that the
bill of particulars and the Indictment
differed as to the acts alleged and that
there was not sufficient evidence to
support the allegations of the indict-
ment,

that right?'
Yes" replied Schlesingcr mourn
fully.
Cuts Bread to Cents
Schlesinger then told how despite
the action of the union men he and his
family worked the ovens themselves
and were able to sell bread for six
cents oaJ and rolls at 20 cents Il
dozen. The usual price at other shops
WAS nine cents a loaf for bread and
"a cents dozen for rolls.
Some time ago the union, according
TO the evidence. opened up rival
bakery at 81 Avenue c, next door to
Schlesngcr. They purchased their
products from wholesalers, selling rolls
at Is cents dozen, for which they
were paying lS cents, and bread five
cents a loaf, for which they paid b1S
and six cents a loaf.
Schlesingcr said he had been told by
Abraham Goldstone, delegate, that
he would be put out of business if ne
"didnt settle" BY this he understood
tnat ne was 10 take on All eStId Hidl
in addition to those he had employed.
David Dubner. master baker, Of 62
Avenue c. confirmed Schlesingcr's
story. saying that Goldstone told him
that each of the 1900 members in the
union had been taxed $40 to run the
store, and that other neighboring
bakers who were being injured by the
price slashing of the union would be
all right again cas- soon as Schlesin-
ger had been forced to settle"
Another witness, Max Wiener, a
master baker, told how his troubles
have been multiplied because of his
recent appearance before the Lockwood
Committee. The union sends him bad
workmen and his business is falling
to pieces because of the resultant
soiled products. He said that Max
Dcbonowsky. who is known as MAX,
the revolutionist," and the Second
Lenine," was responsible for his diff
cuties. Debonowsky is chairman of
the executive committee of the Jewish
Bakers Union.
Morris Zeidweg, a union worker, said
he has just been expelled from the
union by Debonowsky, because he tcs-
titled two weeks ago before the Lock
wood committee
The hearings will be continued this
morning.

TWO METHODS OF AMPLIFYING
Radio Frequency Gains in Use, but
Audio Still Pre-
dominates.

More and more attention Is being
paid to radio frequency application,
although audio frequency continues to
predolninnte," says the Scientific Amer
lean In u recent issue. "The difference
between these two methods is that
radio frequency ampliication consists
of building up the intercepted radio
energy before %impressinG it on the
detector, which in turn makes this
energy capable of actuating a tele-
phone or other device.
"Audio frequency, on the other
hand. is used to build up the audible
frequency current issuing from the de-
tector. Now, in that many types of
detectors only begin TO function when
the intercepted wave strength has
reached a critical point, 1t stands to
reason that very weak waves will not
be detected and no amount of audio
frequency application can help mat
tiers, since there is nothing to amplify.

EXPLAIN SOME OLD EXPRESSIONS
Few Persons Know Real Meaning of
the Words They Are Max

There are many expressions made
use of by persons every day who little
know the real meaning of the words
they are making use of. Why, for
instance, does A 1 mean first rate?"
and why does first rate" mean some
thing of the highest degree of ex-
c~eilence? A 1 is derived from the sym
Dol denoting ships in the best condi-
ton in "Lloyd's Registry of Shipping"
and first rate" is an allusion to a
warship of the highest class. To have

USING ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE
Experts Tell the Safe Way to Employ
This System for Radio
Receiving.

Since the announcement that the
bureau of standards of the depart
ment OF commerce had perfected a
method of employing electric light
wires in place of %aerials, considerable
experimenting has been done by vari-
Gus amateurs, some of whom have a
good luck while others succeeded
only In blowing n large number OF
fuses.
Engineers of an eastern electric light
have offered the following
suggestions to amateurs:
"First-Successful results have been
obtained so far only with nudion bulb
sets. Crystal sets receive the signals.
but for some reason they are very
weak and indlstinct.
"Second-No set should be used on
this system without air or oil filled
condensers, placed In series with either
the ~antenna circuit or the ground
circuit-preferably In the antenna
circuit.
'Third--A fuse not heavier than
one-half ampere should be used In
series and just ahead OF the antenna
connection.
"Fourth-An ordinary separate de-
tachment plug. e., one with two
blades connecting the two separate
halves of the plug-is used. Only one
wire Is run from this plug, the other
binding screw left undisturbed. This
single conductor wire should be long
enough to reach from n handy electric
light socket to the table where the
instrument is located and should
terminate In the fuse mentioned above.
In ease an externally connected con
denser is used, the circuit should be
run from the fuse to the condenser
