Beginning of the Piano.

IN LARGE part, the piano grew out
of the harp.
The harp was played by plucking
the strings, with the fingers or with
the "plectrum," a little instrument
held in the hands. At length, clever
inventor found a way to pluck the
strings Of a harp by touching keys.
The key was a lever, or moved lever,
which made the plectrum twitch a
certain string Of the harp. Since the
strings were of different lengths,
there was different sound when each
key was touched.
An early type of piano was called
a "harpsichord." 1t was invented
more than 500 years ago. A harp
like instrument was placed in frame
work, and the strings we're twitched
when the player pressed the keys.
Quills taken from crow feathers did
the actual "twitching," as a rule.
The sound of the harpsichord has
been called weak and tinkling." Yet

TOLEDO STRIKE
RIOTS BORN OF
OLD DISSENSION
Seeds of Violence SoWn in
Truce Pact Signed in
February.
BY DONALD POND
Times staff Writer

Toledo had been expecting trouble
in its auto parts workers strike for
a long time before that trouble ar
rived so dramatically Wednesday
night with the siege of the Electric
Auto-Lite Company's plant.
The seeds for the violence, which
has taken two lives and resulted in
more or less serious wounds to doz-
ems of persons, were Sown late in
February.
Thea, led by the workers in an
other plant, the auto parts work
ers struck unexpectedly. The first
plant at which they struck was tied
up completely. Two more seriously
were crippled in operations.
The Auto-Lite, now occupied by
the national guardsmen, its Win
dows smashed and its walls Scared
bv fire. stood the strike better. Not
more than a handful of approx
mately 1000 it employed walked
out.
Truce Ends WalkOut
The strike ended early in March
with a siXty-day truce. The union
won eventual recognition and con-
siderable higher wages at the plant
where the strike began. At the Auto
Lite and the two other affected
plants-both controlled, at least
indirectly, by Auto-Lite-it got D
per cent raise and no recognition.
During the sixty days, perman-
ent agreement was to be reached.
Some of us close to the strike as
working newspaper men senSed a
joker in the limits of the truce.
Summer additionally brings a
slump in the auto parts industry
in Toledo We felt the men were
being pulled back to work at fair
terms so that the union could be
smashed in May.
Another Strike Called
The period of truce drew near
its end The plant originally
hit by the strike was all set. There
were ugly rumors of unrest from
the Auto-Lite and its satellites.
Then, there was another strike.
The Auto-Lite ranks didn't hold
so we'll this time. The strike, which
rapidly developed intense bitterness,
was fairly successful until two weeks
ago.
At that time, sixty skilled me-
chanics enrolled in the Mechanics
Educational Society of America
not affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor Union which
called the strike-agreed to return
to work.
Picketing had been a sore spot
before this. The companies had OBJ
tanned, through an injunction pro-
ceeding, certain temporary limita-
tons on what the strikers could do
In their turn. the strikers had won
from the court a ruling that only
certain doors could be used for en-
frances.
Mechanics Return to Work
Thus, the strike breakers
"scabs' to the strikers and their
sympathizers-had to pass the
picket lines.
These were swelled not only by
friends and families of the strikers,
but by organized members of the
Socialist party and of the more
left-wing Lucas County Unemployed
League.
When the Mechanics Educational
Society men went back to work the
bitterness increased. Then, despite
not infrequent personal brushes be-

Minch's attitude then so ired the
men as to almost smash the posi-
bility of a truce.
On the other hand, Thomas Ram
sey, business agent of the United
Automobile Workers Federal Labor
Union, is new at the strike business.
He lacks the experience and cool
head of veteran labor leaders-and
he has an extremely quick temper.
There was bound to be trouble.
1t came in big way Wednesday
night.
