BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Samples Of super-cold water-which
can be turned into solid ice in frac-
ton of second with a snap of the
finger-are being prepared at the Bu-
reau of Standards,
The water is cooled % degrees below
its normal freezing point. or to ap-
proximately 8 degrees above zero,
Fahrenheit. Normally it should freeze
at 80 degrees.
This is one of the striking expert
ments arranged for the bureaus OBJ
servance OF its 30th birthday ami
versary Monday for members of the
staff and specially invited guests.
Scores Of other experiments and ex-
hibits are being arranged.
The water colder than ice has the
outward appearance of stage magi-
clans trick. but. according to DR.. N.
E. Dorsey, Bureau of Standards physi-
cist, who prepared the specimens, its
preparation is a step in a fundamental
research into the processes of crys-
talliza ton by which most solids are
formed. Theoretically, he explained,
no limit of cold need be set for the
formation of ice Certain types of
moon and sun haloes are known to
be formed by light passing through
clouds of water droplets in upper
regions of the atmosphere where the
temperature is known to be below
so Fahrenheit.
Water Must Be Clean.
The first requirement, DR.. Dorsey
says, is that the water be clean. 1t
must be distilled over and over again
to get out of it the tiny material
particles with which ordinary water
is filled 1t is because of these that
sunbeam can be seen through water.
If the liquid could be made absolutely
clean there is no known reason why
the temperature could not be lowered
indefinitely.
The second requirement is that
there be no shock. If the water is
moved at all it must be done very
gently. The surface water of a lake
on a very still day may be several
degrees below freezing without form
ing ice. Throw a stone to it and ice
begins to form at once. AS soon as
a single crystal is formed the freezing
goes on very rapidly around this parti-

POWER STRIKE HITS MICHIGAN CITIES;
MURPHY THREATENS TO Use Fore
UNION CHIEFS FLY TO SCENE
WITH SETTLEMENT PLAN

SAGINAW, Mich, June 9
I.N.S.). - Michigan's outlaw
power strike-unauthorized by
union leaders and condemned
by Governor Frank Murphy
was to be put down by authori-
ties today, either by force or
persuasion.
The strike was called at 2
a. m. by union workers of the
Consumers Power Company be-
cause, they said, they were dis
satisfied with slow progress in
negotiations of their demands
for higher wages and union
recognition.
Since the power company serves
the entire Saginaw Valley, which
has 100000 residents in its 1877 vii
lagos and towns, industrial paral.
ySis began spreading through the
entire territory. Upwards Of 100,.
600 men we're expected to be out Of
work by nightfall unless the
strike is quickly ended.
485,OOO Homes Affected
Most of the 485,000 homes
served by Consumers also were
without light and power.
While effects OF the strike in
Saginaw and Bay City were slow
to be felt, it had the same effect
as a general strike" in Flint as
lack of power forced shutdown of
many big factories, throwing more
than $4,000 out of work and silenc-
ing large radio station.
Housewives also found their cleo.
trio appliances useless and eleva.
tors in downtown buildings in
Flint, including one 16-story struc.
ture, stopped.
Settlement Reached
While this was happening,
union leaders in Washington re-
ported they had reached a settle
ment with the power company
over the workers demands, and
were flying back here by chartered
plane to call off the strike. The
leaders, officials of the United
Automobile Workers Union, who
had organized the power workers,
stated emphatically the strike was
not authorized.
In striking, the union workers
had accused the company of

TWO PICKED
0RWAGE
BOARD
Employer and Public
Members Named to
D. c. Body

Two of the three persons who
will compose the revived minimum
wage law for the District were Sc
lected today by the District Com
missioners. They are:
John H. Hanna, chairman Of
the board of directors Of Capital
Transit Company, selected as the
employers representative.
Mrs. william Kittle, president Of
the VotelesS District of Columbia
League of Women Voters, who was
chosen to represent the public.
Labor Choice Near
Commissioner George E. Allen,
who announced the appointments,
said the third member had been
selected but had not accepted the
appointment. He is a prominent
labor leader and will represent in
terests Of employees.
Allen emphasized that the selec-
tionS were not dictated by politics
and were made by the Commits
sionerS after q careful study Of
local residents.
The minimum-wage law for the
District was enacted 10 years ago.
It empowered the board to fix
minimum wages for women and
minors employed here.
Board Gets No Pay
The board is not salaried,
although there is pending in the
District appropriation bill an item
of $14,320 to defray the expenses
of the board during the fiscal year
1888.
This appropriation contemplates
the hire Of a secretary and four
or five minor employees in addi-
ton to contingent expenses.
Five years after enactment Of
the law the United States Supreme
Court held it unconstitutional,
but this decision was overTuled
and the law revised in another
opinion of the Supreme Court a
few months ago.
Hanna has been active for many
years in the Capital Transit Com
pany and it's predecessor, the Capt.
tai Traction Company.
Mrs. Kittle, who resides at 313l
Military Rd. N. W., some years ago
was engaged in similar work as
the public'S representative on an
industrial committee in Wisconsin.

to the board to decide whether or
