If the idea of certain of your CORE

broadcasting stations shut down one

stations is a rather harmless type of
amusement. in the same class as sol

Some Facts About Different Types Of
SuperheterOdyne Circuits. Part III.

Several attempts have been made
with view to reducing the number
of tubes used in the superheterodyne
circuit without impairing it's efficiency
or using the same number of tubes
for increased efficiency
In the u1radyne circuit the first
tube of the series, instead of being
used az the first detector tube, serves
as a radio frequency amplifier tube.
The circuit uses an oscillator circuit,
but the first detector circuit is elimi-
mated and the local and received oc-
citations are combined in the plate
circuit of the first tube-the radio fire.

the grid circuit of the first detector

intermediate amplifer tube. thus link

This type of circuit belongs to the
class of circuits in which an attempt
is made to increase the efficiency of

COAL. STRIKE LIKELY,
MERCHANTS ADMIT
Storekeepers in Anthracite
Area See Suspension of
Mines Over Wages.
By the Associated Press.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 3.-Mer-
chants in the anthracite valleys today
finally admitted the likelihood of
suspension at the mines September l,
result both Of the new wage de-
mands and the talk growing out of
the trtdistrict scale convention which
closed here yesterday.
Some storekeepers figured that the
demands for 10 per cent wage in
crease for $4,000 tonnage men. for abb
clifton of the 5 per cent the operators
charge the miners for compressed air
In drilling and for the payment of coal
mined on the basis OF a 2,240-pound
ton instead of by the car would, If
granted, mean a total pay increase of
perhaps So per cent. The additional
81 day to be asked for 110, 900 day
men would mean an advance of about
% per cent. The two averaged to-
gethed show around 80 per cent.
See Suspension Certain
Turning from whatever attitude the
operators might adopt toward these
demands, the merchants then singled
out the remark yesterday Of Andrew
Mattey, president of district Z, who
said in the convention:
"A suspension will take place"
Merchants say some of their num-
ber have not yet fully recovered by ef-
fects of the credit they granted to
their miner customers in the strike of
1922, asserting that in a coal strike it
lis the merchant who pays" Some
showed with pencil and paper how
they would make money by shutting
up shop the day before and suspen-
sion was declared.
The miners demands will be pre-
sented to the operators in Atlantic
City on July 9. A meeting of the
operators is scheduled to be held in
New York next Monday, when II is
expected they will frame the policy
they are to follow during the nego-
tiations.
They are known to be opposed to
granting any increase in wages, and
1T is reported they may fight for a
reduction. The operators also are
expected to refuse to agree to the
check off system of collecting union
dues, one of the workers principal
demands.
