great inventions contributing to hu-

For more than forty years, while
recognized by scientists as the es-

nothing about the microphone and
cared less. But today, more than
100000 radio fans" know that it
is the microphone that transmits to
them their daily dozen from the air.
For without Mike" there is no
broadcasting.
Over fifty years ago, on April ID,
1877, Emile Berliner, young Ger
man immigrant, unable to speak
pure English, filed his application
for a patent on the microphone. His
first crude instrument, constructed
from small toy drum, steel dress
button and needle actually had
talked. The microphone of today, as
used both in the telephone trans
mitter and in radio broadcasting,
is merely refinement of the loose
contact principle applied by Ber-
liner with his toy drum, dress stud
and needle.

WORKERS DEMAND
TRACTION STRIKE
CALL TOMORROW
Believe Workers Will
Force Action

Rising sentiment among nearly 4O,-
600 New York traction workers for
immediate strike action will force Of
ficials of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton to issue general strike call to-
morrow when a mass meeting OF the
union members acts on the discharge
by the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company of 21 Amalgamated mem
bers.
The so-called trace which the Of
ficials of the union have permitted the
Interborough expires tomorrow eve
ming. Scores of traction workers
have already gone on vacations" as
a protest at having to work with
scabs. A sort of Creeping strike"
has begun to spread over the lines.
Company To Reject Men.
The Interborough, it is known, will
not accept the offer of the Analga-
mated officials to "arbitrate." When
this fact is definitely announced, the
traction workers who have thus far
been restrained from action by the
dangerous dallying policy of their Of
ficials will no longer remain in check.
A strike is inevitable according to the
information of those who are in touch
with the situation.
1t is reported that hundreds of
telephone calls have been made to
the headquarters Of the union Off
cials at the Continental Hotel, Broad
way and 41st St., by traction work.
ers who have demanded immediate
strike action. These workers have
pointed to the intensified preparations
by the company of its strikebreaking
activities.
1t is also known that majority
of the members of the executive coun-
Gil of the union have demanded an
immediate strike. The officials have
promised action, it was learned, but
will seek to avoid the strike call by
some maneuver at the last moment.
The experience of the traction
workers with the last strike situation
in the summer of 1927, it is thought,
will guard them against another such
defeat as their officials permitted at
the time.

Forces Lewis Machine
to Retreat

SCRANTON, Pa, March 4. - The
rising power of the progressive min
ers under the leadership of the Save
the-Union Committee has driven fear
into the hearts of both the mine own
ers and union officials of District 1,
headed by Rinaldo Cappelini, chief
henchman of the Lewis machine.
Mass Fury Rising.
Under the pressure of this rising
force, officials of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company, which controls all op-
erations in the Pittston region, have
hastily combined with Cappelini, in
an agreement to resume mining op-
erations in the Pittston district for
a period of thirty days in order to
ward off the rising mass fury of the
miners who are holding Cappelini and
the mine owners jointly responsible
for the murder of Alex Campbell and
Peter Reilly last week as well as the
killing of two other progressive min
ers.
