only many times as rapidly and &C
curately. Every once in a while he
would take a finished piece off the
machine and put a new block of
metal in its place.
"They say the machines will
throw everybody out of work. he
said, "but l notice it still takes a
human brain to tell the machine
when to stop and start" That is
something people overlook. No
body has yet made a machine that
can think, and nobody ever will.
TELEPHONE another step
Everybody who has a telephone
must have wished for some sort of
an attachment which would an
swer automatically when the sub
scriber is away.
Word comes from Vienna that
just such a device has been invent
ed and is in use there. When one
is going to be out of telephone
reach he sets the implement to the
hour when he expects to be back.
Then, if a call comes through in
his absence the caller hears a gong
ring to indicate the hour when the
person called will RETURN. When
he returns he finds a record Of all
calls.
1t will be easy to develop that
idea into a phonograph record
which would say "Mr. Smith has
gone to Florida but will be back
on the fifteenth" or whatever
other message it is desired to con-
vey.
Something of that sort will
come some day.

Why can't a man OF child, law

left them we had a private meeting
Here we decided to strike for what
we had asked. We were to strike but
not to destroy any property. We went
on strike Tuesday morning. Then we
held another meeting and every boy
agreed to leave school if we didn't
get what we asked.
"Since then some Of the hard
boiled bosses have talked about hav-
ing the leaders of the strike expelled.
The foremen are all hard on the
boys. This summer we have been
made to work in rain and mud, even,
at times, when we were supposed to
be at the dining hall. The foremen
treat the boys very unkind. They
seem to think they are above us and
too good to have anything to do
with us"

that the school would be better off
without me. They wanted to get me
off the campus as quickly and quietly
as possible. I insisted that the other
boys keep the Student League going.
Mr.. Hamrick now says that most Of
the boys, especially the leaders in the
strike, will be expelled. He said since
news of the strike had got out to
newspapers, somehow or other, he
was no longer bound to keep his
promise to not expel anyone. I don't
know how the other boys will get
along with the League. And I don't
know what I will do now that I am

And so we see how the greatest

nothing contrary to the will or greed

When in full session Berry schools

But with all its vast wealth-mon-

out on strike. august 29) School is
not in session now, but students stay
in the summer and work four months
to pay for eight months tuition in
winter.
The immediate cause of this stu
dent strike was the disgracefully low
wages paid to working students The
wage there this summer has been
10, IL and IL cents an hour, depend
ing on how hard boy worked, or
the pull he had.
The school formerly paid on the
basis of Is, 16 and II cents an hour
but "hard times" made the student
wage come down. However, the tut

must buy supplies had gone up con-

were not going to be able to make
enough in the 4 months hard labor
to pay tuition for eight months
of school, besides working the two
days each week which all students do
at Berry through the regular eight
months school year
Resenting this gross injustice, the
students began laying plans for rem
edying their plight They set up a
Students League and organized for a
strike And despite the fact that
school officials deny that any trouble
took place, on August 20 every stu
dent at the high school refused to
work and marched to the auditorium
en- masse, demanding an audience Of
the principal, H. G. Hamrick.
Here quote an interview with two
student leaders in this strike:
Monday morning we all went to
the auditorium and sent after Ham
rick. He came in and we put the big
question to him; could he arrange
our tuition so we could go to school
eight months on four months labor
as students have always done here.
Hamrick began asking questions
about our strike and a letter we had
sent him. No one would tell anything.
He then told us it was impossible to
have an answer by wednesday night
as we demanded. The students were
rather tender and granted him more
time. He came to a conclusion quick

met the executive committee that

NEW YORK.-While going over
their correspondence at their last
meeting, the Workers Short Wave
Club members, meeting at 446 Clare
mont Parkway, Bronx, found that
many workers do not yet know that
the u. s. S. r. is on the Short Wave
Band, and are trying to receive them
on their broadcast receivers. These
workers do not know that the short
wave band is from 200 to ten meters
The broadcast receivers in the
homes tune from zoe to $50 meters.
The Soviet stations are also on the
long waves of about lilo meters.
Their short wave stations are on so,
46, As and 10 meters. RV59, on so
meters, is the most powerful in
Moscow.
Workers who wish tc get RV59 can
have the assistance Of the Short Wave
Club in buying their receivers.
Twelve members of the Short Wave
Club at the last meeting decided that
members will be dropped from the
club if they fail to attend regularly
and fail to notify I. S. Milman before
the meeting. Correspondents offering
suggestions or desiring information
are urged to write their names and
addresses legibly on their letters. The
clubs activities will be announced in
the What's On Column from now on.
