This apparent liberality is. how

some deals to patch up a majority
against the elearcut left wingers who
number about twenty-five in the con-
vention and who, together with the
anti-Kaufman elements on the New
York joint board and other sympa-
thizers, make up slight majority in
the convention.
In this move, Kaufman is trying to
apply the French adage that He who
takes step backward may take a
greater leap forward"

The miners have little to do except

The demands for strike relief are
not widespread as yet Most Of these
demands have come from the Potts
vile district where there is little op-

other employment. In the Scranton
Wilkes-Ba section many Of the
strikers have gone to work in the
textile factories, on public work, etc.
The demands for relief made by the
locals have so far brot the reply from
the officials ito clean out the local
treasures first" But in at least one
instance the use of the local treasury
for strike relief brot also the threat
of revocation Of its charter by Cap
ellini.
Class Struggle Taboo.
The class Struggle is taboo in this
strike. The gossip among the miners
is of the acts and utterances of repub-

call will be issued for general strike
of all miners in the coke region on
Monday, Nov. 16. Meetings will be
held in all important sections Of the
region where the coke that fires the
steel mills Of Pittsburgh is furnished
by miners now unorganized.
At Marianne in the unionized field
500 coal miners are out on strike
against the 1917 scale. Here the com
pany has built iron fences around the
mines. Armed guards are held in
reserve. Searchlghts from the roofs
and mine tipples send their glares
thru the night and search every road
and open space.
Try to Shoot Pickets
An attempt to open the mines with
scabs last night failed. Shots we're
fired by deputies at pickets but there
were no casualties. Seven miners, in
Guiding all the local union officials
were evicted from company houses.
The entire city looks like an armed
camp under martial law.
Up in the coke region, where the
non-union miners also are striking
the strike is spreading slow but sure

enthusiastic meeting of strikers was
addressed by George Papcun. A.

Inflated Yellowstone military expedi-
ton that had as it's object the estab-
lishment of fortified post at the
mouth of the Yellowstone river. The
expedition proved costly failure and
one of the boats was sunk in the Mis-
souri, river near the mouth Of the Yell
lowstone. This was the Thomas JEFF
ferson, and it was the first Missouri
river steamer wreck.
There were a few other wrecks of
government steamboats, between then
and the beginning Of the American
Fur company's steam navigation in
1881, one Of the boats being the George
Washington, which went down as the
result Of striking a snag below Council

lost several boats with valuable car
goes. One Of these was the Assinni-
boine, which was grounded in 1885
near the present site Of Bismark. This
boat was a single engine sidewheeler,
and in 1888 it had the distinction Of
carrying Macmillan, Prince of Wied,
to Fort Union, at the mouth of the
Yellowstone. Her cargo Of 1,185 packs
Of pelts and robes was lost when,
after being stranded, the boat caught
fire. -Four live buffalo being taken

Amateur radio again distinguished
itself when it established reliable COM
munication between the Hamilton

This expedition is engaged in the
study of tropical disease and in max
ing survey Of the territory along the
Amazon River in Brazil. The ex-
plorers were equipped with radio for
communicating on the usual CONNER
cial wavelengths, and had made no
previous arrangements for amateur
assistance.
When the communication on COM
mercial wavelengths became unsatis-
factory, the explorers succeeded in es-
tablishing reliable communication with
amateur stations in and around New
York City. Stations 2CVS, ENC and
GAG have been of valuable assistance,
and station 2BR in New York City
was in communication with the expe-
dition almost every night for four
months.
Many messages relating to the work
and the supplies Of the expedition
were handled. Also many personal
messages to the families of the ex.

New Radio Beam Station
For England

English experimenters have put con-
siderable effort into the development
of directional transmitters, or beam
stations as they are called in England.
One such station is now being erected
in Lincolnshire, England, for the pur-
pose of transmitting to India and to
Australia.
These beam stations use specially
constructed antena, with reflector
which propagates the waves in one d.
rection only. Thus much less power is
required to cover a given distance, and
in addition, there is greater secrecy
to the messages transmitted.
AS the sizes Of the antena and its
reflector must be made proportional
to the wavelength, these beam trans
mitters necessarily make use of the
shorted wavelengths.

Miles City, Sept. 27.-Buried be-
meath the shifting sands of the Yell
lowstone and Missouri rivers rest the
treasure ships of the Vests frontier
days, their skeletons still holding vast
stores that, based on government re-
ports, are conservatively valued at
S5O,000,000. Cargoes Of priceless

CT. A. NJ. says: 81 have been
using a Brownie Vernier crystal for
some time now, but it is gradually
growing insensitive. Is there any way
of cleaning the surface Of the crystal
to restore its sensitivity?"
Ans.-You can buy renewal crystals
for this type, or you can melt the
metal in which the crystal is mounted,
and turn the crystal slightly so as to
expose a new surface. Cleaning the
old surface will not help.

storage battery which is less than a
year old. This battery has not been
used for several months however, and
refuses to take charge from my Tun-
gar charger. Would it help to put in

Ans.-No. 1t is likely that the bat
terry plates are sulphated from stand
ing discharged so long. Take the bat
terry to a charging station and have
it charged until the sulphation is
broken down.

ARADICAL CHANGE
in RADIO BROAD
CASTING PROGRAMS

Broadcasting has grown with such
rapidity that studio and program man.
ayers have not given attention to
many points which, in the near future,
will be outstanding features of broad
casting programs.
K-F-P-G, Hollywood, California, one
of the latest 500-watt Western Elec-
trio stations to go on the air, has
created an innovation, inasmueh as
Mr.. X. M. Turner, the Director, (in-
ternationally known as the inventor
of the original microphone and all
wave radio set, bearing his name),
after making a close canvass of more
than ten thousand radio owners, has
reached the conclusion that the owners
of radio sets should be allowed to Sc
lect the type of program that they
wish to hear, the same as they select
the type of entertainment when they
pay for theatre tickets.
This has resulted in well-known
radio stars taking charge of definite,
fixed hours during which selected pro-
grams, ranging from vaudeville to
classical music, will be put on the air.
1t has been found that many parties
are arranged, depending upon these
fixed programs for the entertainments.
