STRIKING MA|[ERS
BAR COMPROMISE
Vote 1903 to 4 Against Plan
to End Pittsburgh
Wa|kOut.
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, June 24-Striking
mailing room employees of the three
Pittsburgh newspapers voted against
compromise settlement of their
three-day walkout today. The vote
was 103 to 4. The strike forced sus-
pension of publication by the news
papers Tuesday.
The compromise proposal was Of
fered at a mediation conference at
= which Mayor Cornelius D. Scully pre-
sided
The compromise called for a daily
wage of $3.50 for day workers and
s7.85 for night workers.
Increased Pay Asked.
The present wage is $3.50 for day
workers and 81 for night men. The
mailers, in their strike demands, asked
an increase of $l.20 daily for day
workers and l.50 for night workers.
Mayor Scully told the mailers:
You are in a serious situation, not
only from the standpoint of the safety
of the city, but also in regard to your
standing with organized labor. Your
strike is an outlaWed one
The public demands that they be
served by the newspapers. You can't
stand in their way when you've been
given fair offer"
The mayor called the $50 strikers
into conference (at 10 am, Eastern
daylight time) with representatives of
the Sun-Telegraph, the Press and the
Post Gazette, Federal and State labor
conciliators and national leaders of
the mailers' union.
No Attempt to Picket.
The mailers, who demanded wage
increases, gathered in small groups
near the three plants, but did not at
tempt to picket.
Their leaders carried their fight to

casts and their signs placed outside

Observatory was described by DR..
Paul w. Merrill, Carnegie Institution
astronomer.
Measure by Sodium Atoms.
The spectra Of light from 27o stars
Photographed through the 100-inch
telescope, he said, show narrow black
lines at the points where two bright
yellow lines ar found in the spectrum
of the sun. These yellow lines are
due to the emission of light from the
element sodium which presumably is
found in all the stars.
What the sodium atom gives out 1t
will also absorb. Consequently the
starlight on its long trek to earth
must be humping into sodium atoms in
the vast depths of almost empty
space. These atoms pick up their
own wave-lengths and leave blanks In
their place. The more the atoms
encountered-that is, the greater the
distance traversed-the more intense
become the black lines.
Consequently, DR.. Merrill said. the
intensity Of the two black lines can be
used as measure of the distance to
the star from which the light is COM
ing. BY studying the effect with stars
OF known distance the Carnegie Insti-
tuition astronomers have satisfied
themselves that the distribution Of the
sodium atoms is about the same
throughout space.
Minute shifts in the positions Of
these two black lines, DR.. Merrill said,
also furnish additional evidence that
the entire Milky Way galaxy, of which
the solar system is an inflnitesimal
part, is rotating about its center. The
shifts differ in magnitude according
to what part Of interstellar space the
light comes from.

Social Security Numbers
Required of Employees
Even Persons Sixty-five Years OF
Age And Over Must
Register

Social Security registration num-
bers for all employees covered by
the Minnesota Unemployment Com
pensation Law, even those IS years
of age and over, are required by
the Minnesota Unemployment Com
pensation Division.
This was announced by Frank T.
Starkey, chairman Of the state In
dustrial Commission, which Is adj
ministering the law, following
adoption by the commission OF a
regulation placing responsibility
for obtaining registration numbers
on both employees and employers.
Registered numbers are neces-
sary for the accurate handling OF
the thousands Of employee ac-
counts being set up by the Unem-
ployment Compensation Division,
Mr.. Starkey said. Numbers may be
obtained through postmasters.
Employers are charged with the
responsibility of obtaining regis
tration application blanks from
postmasters for their employees,
unless the employees obtain their
numbers directly from the post
masters. The regulation specifical-
ly does not exempt employers
whose employees fail to obtain
numbers.
Commissioner Starkey pointed
out that no employer should delay
the filing Of his first quarter 1887
report, due not later than May 10,
because of lack Of numbers for
some employees. However, he said,
numbers must be obtained in time
to file second quarter returns.
1t was especially stressed that
the commissions regulation does
not in any way alter provisions Of
the federal old age pension law,
which requires monthly contribu-
tions from all employers and those
employees under the age Of IS.
