sands of strikes who are fighting for
higher wages and better working con-
ditions was unequivocal and its mean
ing did not escape the Washington
Press. The Post headline says: La
Dor Will Be Destroyed Unless Strikes
Are Halted, Johnson Warns A. F. L."
Strikes are economic sabotage, y
said johnson. Labor Secretary Fran
ces Perkins, Postmaster General
James Farley, Senator Robert F.
Wagner, and President Roosevelt
himself have all spoken to this con-
vention in the same key, but it was
left to johnson to put the question
of the abandonment OF the strike
weapon and the sacred duty OF Of
ficialdom to increase their strike
breaking activity in the clearest and
most cynical msz.ner. Johnson's
speech, eliciting not one single pro-
test from the assembled A. F. of l..
officialdon, stamps this convention
as the most disgraceful in its history.
Not one official In this convention
has SO much as mentioned the heroic
strike struggles of the steel, coal tex
tile and agricultural workers, al
though the press every day carries
the news of the extension of martial
law, armed assaults on and murder
of strikers.
Only in the resolution of Reuben
Suny, delegate from the Cleaners,
Dyers, Spoilers and Pressers Union,
No. 1928, of Philadelphia, is there
a call for support of the mine and
steel strikers. Only in the resolution
of Reuben Suny, calling for support
of mine and steel strikers, has this
vital issue come before the conven-
ton, and the consent for dbating it
was refused.
Wagner's "Strong Counsel"
The official leadership of this con-
vention is determined to uphold the
MIRA. in Suppressing strikers. 1t has
not decided on how best to do this
because of the tremendous rank and
file revolt, but in addition to John
sons demand upon it, there is the
tacit acceptance of the formula Of
Senator Wagner who in his speech
said, Those who tend to destroy the
opportunities for fruitful industrial
relations by quick and fanciful re.

excuse, that both were "out." The
acting police chief had to concede
that they were within their right to
picket the plant.
A telegram was sent to Hugh john

The strikers are militant and de-

made his first official report to the
National Academy OF Science for pub
.l!catlon III the January issue Of its
monthly.
He said that data computed so far
from readings of instruments placed
in the gondOla OF the balloon, do not
settle argument over the nature of
the rays. It was learned that the
rays are 100 times greater in the
stratosphere than at sea level.
DR.. Compton holds that the rays
are molecular-that Is electrically
charged particles, while DR.. r. H.
Millikan Of California maintains they
ere light waves resulting from the
formation of heavy atoms in inter-
stellar space. Both have their fol-
lowers.
To ensnare the rays and attempt to
solve the mystery of their nature and
origin two tests were made. For one
IN unshielded ionization chamber
was installed in the gondola and for
the other an ionization chamber
shielded by the equivalent of a sheet
Of solid lead to keep out other rays.
AS the balloon rose to the layer Of
thin air surrounding the earth, the
rays set up an electrical current In
the onization chambers.
To those who have maintained that
the sky at great heights Is black in
stead of blue, the flight, said DR..
Compton, proved definitely their
error.
