STRIKE ENTERS
FOURTH DAY

LONDON, May n. The British
public entered upoh the fourth day
Of the general strike with the
same untoward appearance OF stoi-
cisn as on the previous days. The
people had in prospect better
transportation facilities, and they
also were heartened by the fact
that there would be more news
papers published. Otherwise, the
outlook did not seem in any way
improved.
II the strike continues, the ire
Eponsible sections Of the public
probably win become more trou-
blesome as tho days pass.
There have been numerous dis
turbances already, the worst trou-
bles having occurred at Glasgow,
which has a notoriously radical
population. There was fierce riot
ing in the east side Of the city yes
terday, when the police broke
many heads and themselves suf-
fered a bombardment of stones
and other missiles. The eonstabu-
harry got the upper hand. Sixty

some iooting.

English towns also Witnessed live

Premier Baldwin And Labor Leader
Confer On Great Britain's Strike
PREDICTION is MADE OF
POSSIBLE SETTLEMENT.
EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK

LONDON. May 2. - The
guarded prediction was made
this morning by influential
labor leaders that the strike
crisis might be settled early
next week.
This is the most optimistic
statement thus far emanat-
ing from high source. Upon
what il Is based was not made
known.
Unofficial peace makers are
steadily working for a solu-
tion, and the pressure of the
churches and other bodies as
well as prominent individuals
is being brought to bear to
end the trouble.
II Is understood that Premiel
Baldwin and J. H. Thomas, one O.
the labor leaders, were closeted a
a late hour last night, but wha
took place is unknown, although i
Is assumed they were discussing
the crisis.
Officially both the trade unior
congress and the government ar,
standing pat, and both CLAIM
things are going well in their re
spectiye camps.
The government at noon TO-DAY
stated that conditions were i'm
proving throughout the country

Traffic conditions were easier, will

AV|ATORS TO HELP
j. s. WEATHER MAN
Observations viii Be Taken
at High Attitudes From
Naval Planes.

Aviation is to aid the weather man
in getting nearer the 100 per cent
mark in forcasting. and to prevent
him from firing blanks as he did in
failing to predict the recent three
day rain spell. The Navy has come
to the defense of the local weather
man in his recent slip, and tells that
he couldn't predict the rain, because
of the lack of meteorological infor-
nation from high attitudes. This
information the aviators at Anacostia
will get in the future.
sweeps in Over Atlantic.
Some Of the worst weather that
comes to Washington and other cities
along the Atlantic coast, 1t was ex-
planned, is brought by northeast and
east winds blowing in from the At
lantic But-Several times year the
type Of storm which is attended by
these rainy northeast winds and
which the weather man calls cy-
clonic depression or a low" forms
over the Southeastern States or
moves in from the South or South
west and passes northeastward
along the coast unusually close to
Cape Hatteras or the Virginia capes.
1t was this kind of a storm that
brought the rainy weather of Tues
day. wednesday and Thursday.
The behavior of this type of storm
is one of the most difficult for the
weather man to forecast, 1t was eX-
planned, because, not infrequently.
when the northeast wind sets in,
low clouds and fog shut in the cities
along the Atlantic seaboard and mist
and rain falls almost continuously
for two or three days. Much study
has been given to this type of storm
in an effort to determine some means
of forecasting how large region
the bad weather conditions will cover
and how long they will continue
How Aviators Can Help.
The neteorologist can obtain some
indication of what the storm will do
from the numerous meteorological
observations taken on the ground at
stations over the country, but mere
are times when these observations
are insufficient for him to make a
definite forecast The secret of the
behavior of such storms, 1t was
added. undoubtedly lies in the con-
ditions of the atmosphere high above
the earth. The meteorologist there's
fore is looking to the aviator to COLI
lect the observations of conditions
high in the air. and the work of help
ing him already has been started BY
the local naval aviation station.

GEODET|C EXPERTS
| PLAN RADIO TESTS
Theory That Continents Are
Not Fixed SoIidIy to Earth
Challenged.

In an effort to test the newly pro-
pounded theory that the continents
of the world are not solidly fixed to
the globe but are cons .antly changing
In position, experts of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey have arranged Sc
ries of co1Ns"afive tests to be car
ried out simultaneously with scientists
from nearly a score of oth.r countries
beginning October and ending No
vember so.
Checks will be made simultaneously
by radio In the United States, Hawaii.
the Philippines. Canada, Mexico. Aus
tralia, Japan, China, India, England,
France, Spain, Belgium. Portugal,
Holland. Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland, Czechpslovakia, Poland
and several other countries, including
points yet to be selected in Africa.
The object sought will be the precise
longitude of the points from which
observations are taken, If the meas
urements are completed this year, a
check will be made against the results
in 1881. and If the slightest evidence
is found to support the theory that
continents move, similar checks will
be carried on until the hypothesis be-
come a proved fact or is discarded as
untenable.
Most Extensive Survey.
This worldwide scientific survey is
said to be the most extensive ever
undertaken by International agree
ment, and is considered of the utmost
scientific Importance because, IL the
theory is substantiated, it will affect
all of the theories held In the past as
to the origin of continents and the
iAuses of the great changes which
have taken place in geologic time on
the surface of the earth. So accurate
ly will the observations be, according
to Commerce Department scientists,
that the distance between a given
point in Washington and another in
Paris will be determined within
margin of "a feet.
Determination Of a difference OF
longitude between two points is
achieved by the determination of the
interval of time which elapses be.
tween passage of star over the
meridian of q selected spot on the
eastern portion of the globe and its
passage over the meridian of another
point to the westward. In accordance
with the plans of the longitude cam
paign, when two such stations have
their local time determined, radio
signal sent from a powerful station
will be recorded at each of the two
points, and a comparison of the local
clock at each station with the radio
signal will tell exactly when the signal
was received.
Years of Work Involved.
Several years of effort have been
required to perfect this plan of world
wide longitude determination.
The plan first took definite shape
at a meeting of the International Geo
detic and Geophysical Union and the
International Astronomical Union in
1922. In the years which have elapsed
radio has made rapid strides in devel-
opfnent, making possible practical
assurances of uninterrupted commune
cation. Additional time since 1922
was required to arrange for the CO.
operation of the powerful radio
stations.
