The employees had asked increases of II 1-2 and 12 cents an hour. The company contended that government control. imitation and unprof1ta ble contracts prohibited the meeting of the demand.

Through tie Static

It proved to be an excellent eve- ming for volume, although our fun was ruined to a great extent by a buzz which, while not loud, succeed ed in blanketing lots of stations and rendering it impossible to reach out to any extent. Probably @ great many of you did not experience such trouble and therefore had an enjoy able evening. We might have had, but we didn't There was a minimum of static and Chicago stations came through loud, as did all westerners.
 We caught two stations broadcast ing on wavelengths other than those assigned to them. WOK, Homewood, is transmitting from 40 meters, at least, late in the evening. CFCA, Tor onto, is up on about 435 meters, de- serting its old place on the 357 me- ter wave. Consequently, there will probably be an awful mess on that wave. with interference from each station broadcasting in that vicinity. WHAP, WNAC, WISE, WOS, CNRO are among those broadcasting on or near 435 meters.
 The VEAL Ensemble added class to the lower waves, the Baltimore station maintaining penetrating vol ume throughout the evening. Cho- pins Hungarian Fantasy No. l." was one of the selections and Southern Night was another.

 Retroactive to January 1

New York. Jan. 14 P)-A wage in- crease estimated at s4,500,000 has been granted 60,O00 employees of the American Railway Express company, representing an individual increase of two and one-half cents an hour.
 The award announced last night was the unanimous decision of the United States board of arbitration, and is the second important proceed ing decided under the railway labor act, passed last May. The first in- volved the claims of railway con- ductors, baggagemen and brakemen, decided in favor of the men on De- cember 1.
 The decision applies to American Railway Express company employees throughout the United States and is retroactive to Jan. 1, 1927.
 In addition to the fiat increase to all employees, messengers on train service will get an extra allowance of four and one-quarter cents an hour for handling United States mail or railroad baggage, and eight and one half cents an hour where both mail and baggage are handled. These spe- cial rates are effective from Jan. 13.

While the layman probably never from an encounter with a bee or a spider, the scientists at the college hold belief that the poisons of the insects may be used as rem- edy for forms of kidney disease.
 Students offered themselves as subjects in such numbers that mem- bership in the poison squad is considered a distinct honor. The keenness of the competition was not diminishd by the faculty an- nouncement that those chosen must be willing to suffer pain and men, tai anguish in the interest of sci ence."
 Small amounts of the poisons will be given at first and the subjects are expected to be able to continue at tendance at classes. With the com- ing of the summer vacation, doses will be increased to such an extent that hospitalization may be neces- sary. The volunteers have signed WdINtTS lIttlllS lAt lnSlllutiOi nun any responsibility for possible Ill consequences.
 Various other notwithstanding drugs will be used In the experi- ments under direction of Dr. Linn J. Boyd, head of the "poison squad"
 Humans have been chosen as sub- jects of the tests, he said, because drugs react differently upon ani- mals and because it is desired to have a subjective account of their effects.
 To eliminate the over-emotional and too-imaginitive, harmless sub stances will be given early in the experiment while the subjects are under the impression they are be- ing given drugs. The experiments will start next week.
 Dr. Linn expects year Of work will be necessary to get the desired data on the insect poisons. After the danger point" has been reach ed with humans, he said, guinea pigs and rabbits will be used as subjects.

HEAVY SNOWS70RM
 SWEEPS EASTWARD
Central States Buried Deep
 Under Mantle of White

Chicago, Jan. IA Ps-Snowstorms that piled the central states deep, swirled on toward the Atlantic sea- board today while another of win ter's barrages crept down the east ern slopes of the Rockies.
 The most severe cold was in the area between the two storms, but low temperatures spread with the snow from Canada to the Gulf and the weather bureau would promise no great rise before Sunday, if then.
 More snow was in prospect today for midwestern and southwestern states, where a record fall for the winter in many places already had seriously interfered with travel and communication.
 Central Illinois was burned deep, with close to 20 inches of snow on the ground in some localities. and in Chicago an army of 5000 labored all night to keep traffic lanes open. Three men were killed while at- tempting to keep traffic moving and two others died of exposure.
 At Gary, Ind, a street car car eened from snow-hidden rails and crashed into a bus. severely injuring several persons, and in Chicago the weight of the fall, stove a garage roof in and hurt four men.
 The southwest shivered in the un- seasonable weather, and prepared for zero temperatures in the wake of storming that left snow from an inch to six inches deep. Virtually all of Kansas, northern Oklahoma and Missouri were blanketed with considerable depths.
 Lower thermometer readings were promised the middlewest today, and snow laden skies and low if not ex- treme temperatures were forecast through the central states. The storm center itself swept down the St. Lawrence valley to give the corn belt breathing spell before the ar rival of the new disturbance advanc- ing eastward from the Pacific coast

We ran into WSM, Nashville. able style. A boy soprano, possessed of a remarkably sweet, clear and true voice. presented several num- bers in a delightful manner. Come to The Garden, Love" and My Lover is a Fisherman" were two of the numbers. WsM suffered from inter- ference to some extent, but it was largely overshadowed by the heavy wave from the Nashville transmit ter.
 Clear and loud, with now and then dash of electrical nonsense, was WEAO, Columbus. That station is located where there are no other stations to interfere, although the backslap from WPG. Atlantic City, can be heard on rare occasions when the station is spreading itself more than usual. We'll, an instrumental trio, not the best we ever heard and also not the worst, offered a group of selections including By The Brook" and Spanish Serenade."
 
 And another Spanish Gypsy or chestra landed with terrific smack. How many we have heard we shouldn't tell. But at WPG, Atlantic City, where or not the orchestra is Spanish or not, they have one of the best of that type that we have ever heard in all our life, no kiddin', cross our heart, hopeteedie. They call 1t the Spanish Gypsy orchestra, for no reason that we could make out, beyond the fact that it sounds romantic. This group presents num- bers in a leisurely style which at- tracts attention, anyway. An "Or- chestral Medley" was the concluding selection, and we wish we could have heard more of the program. The next time this group is scheduled, be sure to tune in.
 WJR, Detroit, was very loud, with just a bit of code interference and that's all Jean Goldkette's orches- tra livened up the atmosphere con- siderably and we enjoyed Tn A Little Spanish Town," one of the sprightliest wakes of the day; "Nea- politan Love Song," an Italian mel ody done over as foXtrot, and Clap To Hands," that brand new

 WEAF. New York. came through loud during most of the evening and even before dark we were able to pick up that station with consider able volume. While WTIC was on the air it was a cinch to bring in the National Broadcasting Company's key station. and we heard the Zip- pers, a tenor soloist singing Its a Long Way to Singapore" as if we cared how far it is.
 By the way, beginning with to- morrow's programs, the Herald will print, in addition to the wavelength of stations by meters, the correS- bonding length in kilocycles, in re- sponse to a number of requests for the same, if we don't forget it. Sev- eral makes of radio sets are being manufactured at the present time, which have the dial readings set down in kilocycles (KC), and it is to serve those listeners, as well as the others, that we are going to make that addition. The kilocycle reading will be found at the left of the call letters, while the wave length in meters will be found to the right of the station location.
 To so on with the programs for last evening. NLW, Cincinnati, hummed in very loud, male singer offering All Alone Monday" and Red Riding Hood" There was plenty of noise and sometimes it al most drowned out the music.
 We passed through WIZ just to find out how it was acting. Late in the evening it behaved itself, but while George Olsen was in the air at ' o'clock, the station twisted and turned like an imp.
 A violin selection of considera ble length was being broadcast from woe, Davenport, when we tuned in. We didn't stay. since We didn't have that much time to fool around. Suf- fee it to say that woe was ex- tremely loud.
