"A school-teaching or teaching music was
the only polite career for woman when, at
the age of l6. she stepped out in the world,
in her native Wisconsin, she knew life would
hold something more exciting, and so it has
All through her college days at the University
of Wisconsin at Columbia and at the Indiana
Conservatory of Music Miss Keith taught piano,
directed choruses and made honor societies in
both dramatics and journalism.
The fact that she put herself through these
various schools is its own index to the character
and determination which have dominated her life.
Went Into
WdrsWork
Finishing college in 1918 Miss Keith was all
set and ready to make herself useful as director
of amateur dramatics for the New England Di-
vision of War Camp Community Service. She
put on plays, pageants, festivals and operettas
In eastern cities over a period Of years.
She gathered professional experience in actual
stage work in New York. She produced historical
pageants in Minnesota, Iowa. Wisconsin and
Missouri
Though pioneer in fields we shall presently
touch on, Miss Keith has never for long deserted
teaching in some form.
The close of the war found her member of the
educational staff of the Victor Talking Machine
Company in New York lecturing before civic
clubs and educational groups throughout the
United States
Wrote First
Radio Textbook
When broadcasting began, Miss Keith, with
true pioneering spirit started educational broad
casting in Cleveland, writing advance informa-
tional articles for the Cleveland Plain Dealer
It was during her three years in this work that
she wrote the first radio textbook ever to be
used in schools.
Her success brought her to the attention Of
the Radio Corporation of America and she was
called to New York to direct their educational
activities. Everyone familiar with this work
knows how she formed the National Advisory
Council for the DamroSch school concerts.
Believing that radio had an even broader mis-
sion to fulfill than the projection of symphonic
music into the schools of the nation, Miss Keith
suggested to Columbia Broadcasting System Off
cialS the idea of series of school broadcasts
which came into being in 1880.
Organized
Advisory Council
AS oroadcasting director, Miss Keith organized
its advisory faculty and with that group worked
out a curriculum which included history, litera-
ture vocational guidance, music, geography,
current events, art appreciation, elementary
science, and story telling.
Miss Keith was the first person in the United
States to develop the idea of the Radio Work
shop, modelled alter the many drama work
shops at schools and coheges, having given a
course for credit at American University four
years ago.
Her classes in radio in the National Academy

Testifying at the second trial of
five former policemen charged with

fled three of the defendants as men
who put him in car on a Tampa
street the night he and two COM
panions were beaten.
Mr.. Poulnot described his beating
in a wooded section near Tampa, but
said he could not tell who actually
flogged him.
They threw me over q log and
beat me-" he said.
What did they use?" asked County
Solicitor Manuel Glover.

Boycott Turns on Labor.

Fifty years ago the labor boycott
was a decided pest, If not menace
in the country. An unusual case was
that Of New York woman who ran
a small non-union bakery. The union
went on strike against her and boy
cotted the store and her customers
50 mercilessly that public opinion
became sympathetic in her favor and
she sold more bread than ever before
The boycotters then demanded from
her that she pay their expenses FOR
boycotting her, several thousand dol
lars! When this became public the
Government took hand and in one
year, it is said, 100 labor leaders try
ing such methods were indicted and
sent to jail.

have been laid before the committee;
one by Mrs. Norton, one by Senator
Thomas and one by Representative
Hartley Of New Jersey, Republican.
Mrs. Norton's compromise, which
she is ready TO abandon II she can get
the Walsh proposal, starts also with a
25-cent minimum wage-as provided
in the House bill-and after the wage
has reached 80 cents, employers in an
industry may file applications to have
further increase suspended, pending
hearings by the Secretary of Labor or
an administrator appointed by the
Secretary to conduct such hearings
If it is found that the proposed in
crease would provide wage more than
necessary to give proper living to a
family of four, or that that increase
would curtail employment. then the
Secretary may issue an order suspend
ing the increase. If the findings are
otherwise, then the Secretary may de-
cline to suspend the increase.
The Norton compromise also pro-
poses to take into consideration Ger
tain difIerentials, as freight rates and
living conditions and the cost of liv-
ing. Mrs. Norton insists, however,
that the consideration of differentials
has nothing to do with varying the
minimum wage in the North and
South or any other section, but would
merely operate for the industry as a
whole.
Period of Adjustment.
Senator Thomas has suggested that
the Conference Committee write into
the bill the lowest minimum wage at
Is cents and the highest at 40 cents,
and that an administrative agency
during the period of adjustment shall
have the power to AK the levels. He
has adopted the House rates in this
proposal and has sought to keep the
Senate plan for differentials to some
degree.
The Hartley plan calls for law FIX
ing minimum wage at IS cents, a
board or commission to make q fur
ther study of the problem and report
to Congress within a two-year period.
While no vote was taken by the Con-
ference Committee on this proposal,
1t was rejected, at least for the time
being, by the House members, who
voted 5 to 2 against it. Representa-
tive Ramspeck of Georgia voted for
the plan with Mr.. Hartley.
1t Is known that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor representatives are
ready to fight any proposed compro-
mise that gives power to an admins
trative board to Ak "differentials. The
Federation was strongly opposed to the
Senate bill, which created labor

In introducing Mr.. Thomas about
100 feet away from a veterans memo
rial statue. Miss Clara Handelman
Essex County secretary OF the Socialist
party, pleaded for the maintenance
OF order" and said, Il urge you to
demonstrate, not only to Mayor Frank
Hague (of nearby Jersey City but to
the forces of reaction throughout the
United States, that the citizens OF
Newark do not believe Americanism
means hoodiumism."
When Mr.. Thomas tried to address
a street crowd in Jersey City recently
he was seized by police who took him
in an auto and placed him aboard a
New York-bound ferryboat.
He swore out Federal kidnapping
warrants against several Jersey City
police @oficials, and is fighting in the
courts to lift a street speech ban
placed on him by Mayor Hague, vice
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee.

Accuses Gov. Moore.
Mr.. Thomas said at a press con-
ference competent police could have
prevented this"
"The Mayor OF Newark needs a
friend" he added, "and he is willing
to let Hague be potent friend.
1T doesn't make much difference
what I intended to say. I believe in
free speech and no one could have OBJ
jected to what intended to say be-
cause they didn't hear it.
This does not primarily concern
me. 1t is the problem first of Newark
and of New Jersey to prevent this kind
of thing happening. I'd say it was up
to the Governor "a. Harry Moore),
but the Governor Of this State has
shown up to this time he is Hague's
Charley McCarthy-except that Char
ley Mccarthy sometimes talks back"
Mr.. Thomas said he would attempt
to speak again in Newark, and hoped
his next meeting would be sponsored
by citizens committee, preferably
q non-partisan one.
Officers Tell Their Story.

later, I'VE went to the park to pre-
vent disorder, not to prevent the
meeting. Newark has always had the
reputation Of being peaceful city.

Deputy Chief Sebold was one of the
many hit by flying eggs. Taking issue
with Mr.. Thomas statement he
wished to remain at the scene longer,
he said, Thomas asked me to get up

stability cannot be achieved.
