Radio Interrupts
Sunday Sermon in
Voice of Mystery

KANSAS CITY. Mo. Oct. "a.
tUP)-The eerie voice that for the
past two Sundays had interrupted
the sermons of the Rev. E. w Potts
to say January Saturday, is call
ing will be silent next Sunday
when the Rev. Potts talks.
The voice had seemed to come
from under a-rLg at the right of
the pulpit and what was said did
Mt make sense to the congregation
or Rev. Potts but since the sermons
were usually about the next world
they began to wonder.
An investigation disclosed that
the Interruptions came from why's
a shortwave radio set operated by
j. N. Blair, less than a block from
the church. Blair called the z US"
identifying letters January Satur-
day so they could more easily be
understood.
The amplifying unit of the
church's organ was tuned to the
waves of Blair's station and picked
UP his call. Blair apologized and
said it wouldn't happen again.

New Fashions in

For Big Industry

What do employees really want
from the business that pays their
wages? Employers, have been trying
very earnestly to discover the an
Swer, but it is the most nearly in
scrutable question that industry
faces today.
That good wages is not by any
means all, or even most important
was evidenced by wave of strikes
in some of the plants where the
highest wages were paid. On the
other hand, executives are frequent
ly admonished that furnishing at
tractive living quarters, recreation
facilities, hospitals and retirement
systems often only arouses in the
workers mind suspicion that these
things come out of his wages.
According to Harold Bergen, per-
sonnel relations expert, in the cur
rent issue of Nations Business. the
true keystone of industrial relations
Is the foreman. More than anyone
else, at least in the larger organiza-
tions, this individual creates loyalty
or resentment in the workers mind

is to train better class of men
and women for its supervisors-the
