have been very serious and grateful
for the words Of advice and for the
suggestions that have been offered in
some of these addresses to the dele
gates to this convention. In. a very
large measure do we appreciate the
fraternal greetings, the expressions
for good will and cooperation that

We ask that they carry back to their
constituents the fraternal greetings
of this convention and express to
our friends and fellow workers our
deep interest in their common prob
lens and our sincere desire to CO.
operate and help in every way we
can in promoting the general welfare
of humanity the world over.
at is indeed pleasing to note the
wonderful progress that has been
made by the workers in Mexico. With
in brief space of time they have pro-
NOTED economic and political soli-

complished marvellous things for the
downtrodden people of Mexico. 1t
is most significant development in
world affairs that the working peo-
pie have exercised such tremendous
political influence as to elect a trades
unionist as the president of that re-
public; and we share with the work.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. I've re-
speetfully urge all central bodies to
bring this case to the attention of all
delegates forming your organization,
with the urgent request that they take
the matter back to their own local
unions, explain the matter fully, and
urge their respective members to
give the matter all the publicity pos
sible. Further, to urge them to have
their respective local unions appoint
a grievance committee to visit the
dealers of the Universal gas stoves,
ranger and furnaces, for the purpose
of having that dealer use his good of
fices in urging the Cribbon & Sexton
Stove Works to adjust their griev-
ances with organized labor.
We further ask your central body
to refer the matter to their grievance
committee or a special committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, to visit the
dealers in your city.
We urge you to have notices of this
grievance run in your labor papers
and give it publicity in every way
possible.
The full text of our grievance fol-
lows:
Thirty-five members of Local I'm
ion No. =, of Chicago, went on strike
at the Cribben & Sexton Stove Works,
at $3.50 A. NJ, Wednesday, Septem-
Der 16, 1925.
Our members made four major de-
mands from the firm. First, the rec
ognition of the Metal Polishers' I'm
ion, and the right of the polishers
and buffers to organize. Second, the
recognition of the shop committee.
Third, the restoration of the 81 per
hour day work. Fourth, the read
justment Of the piece work prices
so that it will be possible for a polish
er to earn S1.10 per hour.
Three years ago in the midst of a
severe industrial depression, the
Cribben & Sexton Stove Works took
advantage of the situation to dis
charge the union -polishers and buffers
and fill their places with non-union
men. 80
These original non-union men have
been gradually displaced fro mtime to
time until the present working force,
while unorganized, were not the ones
that took the places of the union men
at that time.
During the three years of the open
shop" policy of the Cribben & Sex
ton plant, conditions in the polishing
and buffing department had reached
a hopelessly deplorable condition,
where those working at our crate hed
nothing to hope for. The right of
collective bargaining was denied these
workers, and the company insisted
on hendling the workers in the pol
ishing and plating department in an
absolutely arbitrary manner; stated
they would deal with each man sep
arately and individually but would
refuse to recognize either a commit
tee or the union.
Then the company attempted to cut
the day rate from 81 an hour, to 85
cents per hour, and the piece prices
were arranged to suit the convenience
of the company and at present it is
impossible for a polisher to know
what he will make working on the
piece work basis; many of them aver

by the old process.
There will be a private demOnstra-
ton of the new instrument here on
Thursday or Friday of this week.
There will be a public demonstration
at Carnegie Hall in October By the
use of vacuum tubes, the volume from
that suitable to a small room to that
necessary to fill an auditorium can
readily be obtained.
I'm spite of the vacuum tube ampli-
fication equipment, the cabinet for the
Panatrome will be slightly smaller
than the ordinary phonograph cabi-
net. 1t can be run either with batter
les or by connection through the cleo
trical socket. The cost of running it
is very cheap considerably less than
that of running a small electric fan.
The vacuum tubes will last from three
to five years. The price of the instru~
ments, which will be placed on the
market in October, will run from 5000
to $500, largely depending on the
style of the cabinet.
The disk record will be used at
present, because we want to adapt the
product to the use Of the millions of
monographs now in existence but the
reproduction can be done by films, on
which the sound waves are photo
graphed. By this method the record
can be made to play for any length of
time
''In order to reproduce the film
records, the instrument must be
equipped with the apparatus for send
ing beam of light through the film
to a Photographic cell so as to turn
the sound waves into electricity, af-
ter which the electrical waves are
amplified by the vacuum tubes. This
apparatus, however, is not costly or
cumbersome, and there is no reason
why the device using the film records
may not become an ordinary house

velopments Of this kind, however, it
is necessary to protect the owners Of

The Pallatrome, which was de-
veloped by the General Electric Com

modified considerably for it's use in

DISC INVENTED TO PLAY
WHOLE SYMPHONIES
Four Concerns Develop 40-Min-
ute Record to Reproduce All
Ranges of Music.

P. L. DeutSch, Of Chicago, vice
president of the Brunswick Bake
Collender Company, announced re-
Gently, that his company, the General
Electric Company, the Radio Corpora
tion of America and the Westinghouse
Electric Company had jointly perfect
ed a new sound-reproducing instru-
ment, which they assert is greatly
superior to the phonograph and the
radio in its musical range and quality
This invention, which has been
named the Panatrope to indicate that
it reproduces all octaves, is a COM
bination of radio and talking film
developments with the phonograph
The recording of the sound waves
is done, it was said, with infinite deli
cacy by means of the process used in
recording sound in the talking film,
or Pallatrome, invented by Charles A.
Hoxie, of the General Electric Com
pany, which differs in detail from the
Phonofilm Of DR.. Lee De Forest.
After the record has been made in
this manner it Outwardly resembles
the ordinary disk record. 1t is played
with a needle but the vibrations are
changed into electrical current and
then stepped up by vacuum cells as in
radio to the required volume, and
then reproduced by a vibrating disk,
instead of a horn.
The grooves in the ordinary phono-
graph record are cut 80 to an inch,
and 12-inch record runs for approx
Hately five minutes. SO much great
tea delicacy is achieved in the Pal
lstrome records, according to Mr.
DeHtsch, that the grooves have been
cut 500 to an inch and 12-inch disk
records have been made to reproduce
whole symphonies, the record lasting
for about forty inmates.
This i regarded as q highly i'm
portanb development for the future in
enabling the musie-reprodueing in
sts1ment to hold it's o~n against the
The Republican., 1925-08-20

competition of radio The fact that
records have to be changed every
four or five minutes, while radio
causes no Inconvenience, is one of the
great handicaps which the phono-
graph has had to carry in the
struggle to retain its popularity
against radio. This has been parti
cularly true in the matter of home
dancing. The necessity for interrupt
ing the dance to change records has
greatly reduced the use of the phono-
graph.
The forty-minute record is a
laboratory article at present and will
not, for commercial reasons, be intro
duced for some time to come, accord
ing to Mr.. Deutsch. The first record
by the new process will be issued in
October. They are designed to be
used either on existing monographs
or on the Panatrome. the first
examples of which will be placed on
the market in October. On this ac-
count the new records are made to be
run four or five minutes, with grooves
of the ordinary width.
This instrument is the result of
heartieSt cooperation between the
radio and phonograph interests"
said Mr.. Deutsch. "It has been
largely developed by radio engineers
with the help of radio patents. There
is entire harmony between the two
interests.
The new instrument is not called
phonograph, 1t is music reproduc-
ton by an entirely different process.
The phonograph, we believe, will soon
be thing of the past. The superior
ity Of the new instrument is so great
that, after hearing the two together,
YOU wonder that you ever thought the
phonograph produced music It's
superiority over the finest radio sets
is nearly as great.
while the phonograph is limited
to reproducing sound-waves roughly
between 1000 and 1000 per second.
this instrument reproduces sound
waves anywhere from 100 to 1000 or
5000 a second. 1t reproduces with
accuracy every pitch TO which the ear
is sensitive. The results are perfect
with the full orchestra, the human
voice, the piano and even with instru-
ments, Ike the harpsichord, which
have never been successfully recorded

made to vibrate a light. The vari-
ations of the light are changed by the
photO-electric cell into variations of
electrical current. These are ampE-
fled by tubes until they are powerful
enough to operate the engraving tool
which cuts the sound-wave pattern in
the grooves of the phonograph disk.
Attire the new type of record is
made in this way it may be repro
duced either by the needle vibrating
diaphragm, as in the present phono-
graph, or by the new sound-repro-
ducing instrument which works as
follows: An ordinary phonograph
needle is used to take the vibration
from the records, but instead of be-
ing communicated to a diaphragm the
vibrations are transferred to an iron
'reed" which is placed in the centre
Of an electrical coil. The vibrations
of the iron reed in the electrical field
causes infinitely fine variations of
current The faint current which is
modulated in this manner is ampli-
fled by the series of tubes and at the
end it vibrates the disk, Transforming
the electrical current back into sound.
The records made by this process,
which will be issued in October, in
clude the intermezzo and prelude to
the "Cavalleria Rusticana" by the
Metropolitan Opera House orchestra,
conducted by Papi; Schubert's S
"Marche Militaire" on the piano, by
Gadowiski; Irish Lament and Sere-
made by Arensky on the violin, by
Piastro: a soprano solo by Virginia
Rea, Rimisky-Korsakov's "Hymn to
the Sun by the Brunswick Salon
Orchestra; Ben Bolt and Robin
Adair, by Elizabeth Lennox; harp

clouded Day" by the Criterion Male
Quartet, with organ; Grieg's Quartet
in G minor, by the New York String
Quartet; Forge in the Forest" and
anvil Chorus" by Walter B. Rogers
and his band; piano duet by Oh
man and Arden, and a number of
pieces of dance music. This series
was made as inclusive as possible
to show the performance of the new
instrument over a wide musical
range.
Mr.. Deutsch said that experiments
were being made to develop a perma-
nent needle. Because of the use of
the tubes for amplifcation, Mr..
Deutsch said that the original vibra-
tions from the record might be in
finitely faint, so that only the ightest
possible contact was necessary be
tween the needle and record, thus
reducing the wear on the needle and
the record to minimum.

WEALTH REDISTRIBUTING ITSELF

lions find their way back into the of society
They go into schools, hospitals, churches, new

both men are setting aside millions for churches,
colleges and charities. Never before has wealth
seeped, crawled and moved back so amazingly to-
ward the human mass out of which it came.
There is heat and human pressure in America
today that melts great accretions of wealth. back
into the uses of mankind. Never was there so
much wealth and never was there so great an eff
fort at leveling wealth. That effort has found it's
way into politics in an attempt to tax wealth out
of existence and return it's substance to the COM
mon use knowingly, or half instinctivey many
of the very rich are moving toward that same end
by their own roads.
