The Connecticut labor news., 1924-05-17

President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor de1iv- cred an address at Bethlehem, Pa, last month, which failed to receive any newspaper publicity because there is very little freedom of speech or press in the steel town where the newspapers, editors, reporters, officials, business interests and wage workers are dominated by "Sobbing" Charlie Schwab and his Bethlehem Steel Cor poration of "b1ow-ho1e" arnor plate notoriety.
 The mayor of Bethlehem had re- fused to issue a permit for MT. Com pers to speak at the Grand Opera House there in furtherance of the na- tional campaign to organize the steel workers. After much hesitancy the permit was granted for the public meeting under auspices of the Beth1e- hem Trades and Labor Council, of which C. s. McMurt1e Is president He was chairman of the meeting. The local newspapers refused to mention the coming of the president of the American Federation of Labor and declined to sell advertising space to announce the meeting.
 Nevertheless, every seat in the opera house was filled, despite the fact that 1t was a stormy day outside. Many steel workers were in the audience and app1auded the speakers. When MT. Gompers was introduced the men and women present sprang to their feet and cheered the fearless veteran labor chieftan
 Where Freedom Is Denied.
 T don't know why his honor, the mayor of Bethlehem, should have hesi- tated to grant a permit for the hold ing of this meeting,7 began MT. Com perS. Il have not the honor of being acquainted with the mayor, but I ven ture to make this statement, without fear of successful contradiction, that the president of the American Fed eration has given as much or more
 
 the mayor of Bethlehem ever will
 T am told that the newspapers of Bethlehem refused to make any sort ot announcement as a piece of news that the president of the American la bor movement, with a membership of over 5,000,000 American citizens, was coming to Bethlehem. So far as I am concerned, I am not very important; 1 have no unblusf1ing estimate of my importance. But I wonder If the newspapers have failed to give pub Icity to the piece of news that the Rotarians are to meet here within the next day or two?
 "Without any reflection upon the Rotarians, I wonder if they are more important than the millions of Amer ican wage-earners? We could not buy space in the newspapers here, I am told. We offered to pay for the advertisement stating that the presiz dent of the American Federation of Labor would address a public meet irg, and inviting the citizens to come and hear him, and the papers refused to accept the money for such an ad- vertisement.

Easy to Make Universal
Joint Crystal Detector

This idea for a good detector is one
with which fine adjustment may be
made on any point of the crystal.
The detector described here has a
form of universal joint which allows
such an adjustment.
1t is mounted on a wood base, 6 by
8 by q inches The materials re-
quired are, base, two binding posts,
a strip of spring brass 21a by II
inches, a wooden pot-lid knob, three
small lock washers, and several
pieces from a structural toy set such
as "Erector'' or "Meccano."
To make the universal joint first
get 21z-inch strip, three small angle
pieces, and several nuts and bolts from
the toy set. These are assembled as
shown in the diagram with lock
washers under the nuts at the points
B and G. A round-head wood screw
with a lock washer under the head is
used to hold the joint to the base at
A. A plain washer is placed between
the wood and the angle piece to make
it turn easily. The knob is put on one
end of the horizontal arm and the cat

Origin of "Jack FrosI

"Jack Frost" as the personifi -
of frost or wintry weather, Is merr
toned in some of the earliest Of the
old English nursery rhymes. Its origin
Is lost in antiquity.
In the nursery rhymes Jack is
often applied to boys who act the part
of men. Jack Frost is really frost
personified as a mischievous boy. The
name Jack" is similarly used in Jack
Sprat. Little Jack Horner, Jack and
the Fiddler, Jack and the Beanstalk,
Jack the Giant-Killer and also In the
House That Jack Built.
Jack is still sometimes applied to
any ordinary fellow because of the ire
quency Of the name. 1t is so used In
common expressions as every JACK
becomes a gentleman" Il am no COM
mon lack" and too much play makes
Jack a dull boy."-Detroit News.

The following simple change In youl
single circuit receiver will:
1. Increase the selectivity.
2. Widen the wave length range.
3. Prevent interference from radia-
ton.
a. Increase the receiving distance.
5. Make clearer reception possible.
With only few changes In the con-
nections of your present set you can
receive through interference from
nearby stations, and can reach wave
lengths even as high as 800 meters.
Your neighbor will not be annoyed by
the radiation which your present re-
ceiver now causes, slight increase in
receiving distance will be noted and,
what is better, the programs will come
in much clearer than before.

Should Know Plan of
Balancing Neutrodyne

The practice of balancing out of
neutrodyne receiver consists of excit-
ing the coupled receiver circuits with
comparatively strong signal neutral
izing capacities or neutrodons, as they
are called, to a point where that sig
nal becomes inaudible. The fact that
this adjustment Of the neutralizing
capacities is made toward a minimum
or inaudible signal and can be &C
cordingly made very exact, gives US
proof that the method of neutraliza-
ton is true process of actual circuit
capacity naturalization and not
method OF preventing or reducing re-
generation.

soldered near the middle of the arm

The crystal holder is shaped from

bent hair-pin shaped as shown and an

Metals on Radio Set

Iron or steel parts, fittings, or
screws should not be used anywhere
presence of these metals in the set
will be detrimental to successful re-
ceiving. If metal is to be used on
any part of the set it will be wise to
select non-magnetic metals, such as
brass, copper or aluminium.
When purchasing condenser be
sure that the plates are made OF
aluminium and the screws are brass.

Italians Must Make
Gestures When Talking

The gestures of the Italian require
a profound course of study, extending
over several years, before they can DC
understood by the foreigner. When an
Italian wishes to signal a person to
approach, he flaps his hands as though
to wave him away. This keeps an un-
educated American on the jump when
he is engaged, for example, in follow
ing an italian through the endless cor
ridors Of an italian government build
ing.

accompanied by gesture, has no force
whatever and is not considered to mean
