Organized labor's civil warfare broke
out openly again today over C. 1. O.
proposal to enroll all furniture work.
ers into one big union.
Without waiting for resumption OF
stalemated peace negotiations with the
American Federation of Labor, John
L. Lewis, chairman of the C. /. O., in
vited A. F. of L. craftsmen in the
furniture, bedding and allied trades
to meet c. 1. o. furniture workers in
a national unity conference here No.
vember 27-29.
William Green, A. F. of L. presi-
dent. termed the Lewis maneuver q
"warlike gesture" and added:
at is bound to have a disturbing
effect upon pending peace negotia-
tions. 1t seems to us indicative OF
the C. I. o. position"
250,000 Held Eligible.
Mr.. Lewis said the conference will
Law the basis for unity of all furni-
ture workers in a single. powerful in
ternational industrial union affiliated
with the c. I. o."
The C. I. o. estimated 250,o00 work.
ers were employed in the furniture
trades, $4,000 of them organized in
unions.
Mr.. Lewis aides said they did moi
regard the proposal as having any re-
1ation to the peace negotiations which
recessed Wednesday until November 4
They disclosed that G. I. o. has OBJ
served no formal armistice since both
factions exchanged peace conference
proposals during the week of October
IL. The Lewis wing of the Labor
movement, they said, has chartered 81
local industrial C. !. o. unions since
October IL and has kept its organiza-
ton machine at full speed.
Part of Planned Strategy.
The move to establish an industrial
union for furniture workers was part
of the organization strategy agreed on
at the C. I. o. conference in Atlantic
City in mid-October.
The leaders of 80 C. I. o. interna-
tional unions adopted a resolution di-
recting Mr.. Lewis to call the furniture
workers meeting within 80 days.
Leaders on both sides indicated their
negotiating committees would still go
through with the scheduled resump-
ton of the peace talks next Thursday

BERNICE'S
BEAUTY SCHOOL
Opening Inspection Sun.
The Road To independence As
Taught in Bernice's School
OF Cosmetology

Millions of American Women are turning to
Beauty Culture the road to the real lnde-
pendence that comes from steady income.
They are turning especially to this field as
means of escape from the drudgary OF hard
work-and the long common hours in domestic
service They are anxious to get away from
the small wages that are now being offered the
whole country over. Many nurses, school
teachers have emerged from their professions
to Beauty Culture because in their particular
fields, openings for race and girls are SO
Few.
These women answered the call Of Beauty
Culture, because they see young women with
much less training than they possess, opening
their own shops. carrying on their own business
in an independent way. Many of our success
ful shop owners of today, only few years ago
were Shaving for very small wage. You too
can be and do the same thing by enrolling in
Bernce's School Of Cosmetology.
A New Campaign Is Beginning
Bernice's School of Cosmetology is opening
wide its doors to MEN. We realize this is a
new venture and we take this opportunity
MEN, to urge you into it and establish your
selves and this will bring other MEN into this
uncrowded field of BEAUTY CULTURE FOR
MEN. 1t is high time that the men start
realizing the artistry in their hands, the beauty
in their fngertips and set examples for other
men that they may admire and follow in his
footsteps. BERNICE'S SCHOOL OF cos
METOLOGY offers morning, afternoon, and
evening classes and terms to suit your income
DORMITORY RESIDENCE: Students are
not compelled to live in the school dormitory,
but the dormitory is for the benefit of many Of
the students who will find that they can live in
a wholesome, cheerful environmnt with other
students much cheaper than they can else
where in the city. Two-ffty per week is dormi-
tory fee. You furnish and prepare your own
meals You furnish your own ID spread ~

The middle-aged gentleman, who

Mapping New Frontiers.
Steering their ships of thought
through the outer darknesses beyond
mans bounds "of space and time"
they are mapping new frontiers of
the human intellect here this week.
They are assembled at George Wash
ington University and the Carnegie
Institution of Washington-engaged
in demolishing current concepts of the
fundamental structure of all things
and setting up a more exact picture
which. in some of its phases, tram
scends imagination.
They are reducing matter to tur-

which correspond to nothing per-

Far into the unknown fell the
shadows of the known-but now they
have sailed beyond the shadows.
Ultimate Unit of Matter.
Most noted among the attendants
at the atomic physics conference is
Prof Bohr. For 80 years the lay
mind has entertained conceivable, if
fantastic, picture of the ultimate unit
Of matter. This picture has been
accepted as an actual reality-in fact,
as one of the fundamental realities,
as we'll established as the pattern of
the solar system or the force of
gravity.
This concept was the brain child
of Prof. Bohr. 1t was one of the
great original concepts in the history
of thought. What most of the world
failed to realize was that, after all,
it was only a concept. 1t was a pic
ture which offered plausible expla-

themselves.

BY PROF. d. FLINT.

polo player, was playing golf one
lovely Summer day. The yardage of
the first nine holes ran, respectively.
300, $50. 200, 325, 275. $50, 225, s75
and 400. At the end of the ninth hole
Mr.. Pagan's caddy commented on q
strange thing. He said that there was
one member of the club who had prac-
ticed for years on golf technique.
He used only two kinds of shots, drives
and approach shots. All his shots
were perfectly straight and the drives
were always exactly the same length,
while his approach shots were of q
different length from the drives, but
also of the same length themselves,
so that he always hit the ball one of
two distances.
What two distances would let him
come out even on each hole and cut
his score to a very minimum?

1y the Associated Press.
Francis A. Staten, Federal Com
munications Commission accountant,
testified today the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. had tried to
dominate the motion picture indus
try. This idea, he said, was to get ex-
elusive rights for the sale and service
Of film equipment.
Staten testified at commission
hearing that the telephone company's
film operations had been conducted
since 1926, mostly through Electric
Research Products, Inc, a subsidiary
frequently called E. R. P. I.
The extent Of the monopoly effort,
he said, was indicated by an invest
ment of S35.000 in the stage produc-
tion of Sinclair Lewis novel "Dods-
worth" in order to assure SubSe-
ouent production of a motion picture
on E. R. p. l. equipment and in an
E. r. P I-controlled (ParamounD
studio" He said loans also were made
to the Fox and Universal companies
and claimed E. r. P. I. influenced va
rious changes that occurred in the
Fox companies.
Prior to 1929, when William Fox CO.
operated with E. r. P. l., it helped
him buy the West Coast Theaters Co.
and loaned him SIS, 100000 to buy the
voting stock of Loew's, Inc, Staten
asserted.
When Fox withdrew his co-opera-
ton and became financially embar-
raSSed during the stock market crash,
he added, E r. p l. fostered Foxs
custer and advanced funds to Harley
Clarke to acquire control. Clarke
later became unco-operative and E.
R. P. is choice Sidney Kent, be-
came executive head of the Fox Film
Corp, Staten said.
To keep small independent pro-
ducers from using competitive equip
ment, he testified, E. R. P. I. had
subsidiaries on both the East and
West Coasts which sometimes financed
and furnished equipment for the
small companies.
The position of e. R. P. I. and
the Bell system in the motion picture
apparatus supply market have been a
dominant one" he said Nearly all
motion picture production recorded
(over go per cent? of the sound

1888 it considered its position strong
enough to control the motion picture

electrons, or units of negative elec-
tricity.
Around this nucleus revolved In
orbits other electrons. They corre-
sponded, in the universe Of the atom,
to the planets-Venus, Earth, Mars
and the rest-in the solar system.
They were kept in their orbits by a
force corresponding to the gravity
which keeps the suns planets in their
orbits.
The nearer the orbit of a planet
electron to the nucleus the greater
the force which Kept it in line. The
further the orbit the less the force.
Sometimes, because of some disturbing
force, a planet" fell from one orbit
to another. 1t lost force In the fall.
This lost force appeared in the form
of radiation-light, heat rays, infra-
red rays, X-rayS, etc. What sort of
a wave length would result could be
calculated very precisely.
This Bohr atom had two great ad-
vantages. In the first place it gave a

In the second place. it gave an ex-

filled-the most rigid mathematical
requirements. There was no need, for
the time being, Of imagining anything
else.
