Employers Angry

Observation-Disclosures, employing APP
1000. was completely
closed Saturday with no prospect
of work Sunday.
AstoniShment of employers over
the sudden strike quickly led to
anger over the futility of their
position.
Eve are simply in the spot of
having our men walk out with
nothing that we can do about
It," said one.
The Michigan Tool Company
employing 1,150 men and women
in three plants, was completely
shut down.
Here we are bending every
effort to supply the government
with parts IL has been begging
US for each day and now we are
closed with no prospect of work
until Monday at the earliest"
said one official Saturday.
"A delay longer than Monday
would tie up several aircraft and
tank plants depending upon us
for parts.
Just yesterday we were
assured by Matt Smith, head of
the MESA, that our relations
with the union were o. X, but
that he was tired OF having his
boys pushed around and the
strike, II called, would be just
sympathetic one"
Alfred Weiland, superintendent
of the Lau Tool and Gauge Com
pany. said the men showed up fol
work on the day shift Saturday
but were called away from tho
plant by shop stewards to attend
a meeting.
''Some Of them returned later
saying they were on n holiday
and might be back Monday" he
said. "They were all ready for
work and anxious TO do so, but
the stewards told them not 10

Internal Splits

While MESA treated Detroit 10
its first widespread automobile
plant walkouts in 1886, the union
remained complacent through the
stormy sit-d0wns of 1887.
Internal splits occa lily
rocked the groups. Communists
were "purged' and two local head
quarters were bombed. Relations
with employers wereI'on the
whole, peaceable and Smith re-
manned firmly in the saddle.
With the formation OF the War
Production Board, Smith COM
planned bitterly that his union of
$4,000 members had been ignored.

He protested to Washington,
especially regarding the activi-
ties of Sidney Hillman who. he
charged, was concerned only with
furthering the cause of the Go.

his union did increase its power
in many factories.

Actually a Mandate

Agreeing to the recommended
terms of the WLB - actually a
mandate-Smiths said he was well
satisfied" interpreting the strike
as a demonstration which won
tn promise of a WLB hearing.
Original cause of the 15-plant
strike was the dismissal of eight
by the Briggs Manu-
featuring Company's aircraft divi-
sion following a jurisdictional row
between the MESA and the JAW
CIO. which holds bargaining rights
in the plant. The Briggs plant,
however. was not struck.
The kESA'S sole achievement OF
the strike was the promised hear
ing, described in two sections OF
the settlement terms. which Will

of MESA claims, including the
status of the eight employees.

Friction in Open

This prediction never became
fact, due principally TO the inter-
est the ALL began TO show in the
automobile workers with the birth
OF the Wagner Act.
Although MESA declared itself
the enemy of the AFL, friction
between the two unions did not
break into the open until Septem-
Der, 1887, when the AFL ordered
members to pass through a MESA
picket line at the Spicer Manu-
featuring Company in Toledo.
The breach was never healed.
In 1888. the MESA fatty rejected
an offer of affiliation with the
UAW-AFL, an action traceable to
the Spicer trouble.

New Magic Water Cuts
Thyroid Without Pain

NEW YORK.-Science has a new,
magic drink of water which does
an internal surgical operation, COM
plete, bloodless, painless, harmless:
The drink is ordinary water con-
tanning radioactive iodine. The
taste is natural
The operation is done by the
iodine rays on the thyroid glands.
A survey showed this iodine in use
at the University of California and
at the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, where it is produced by
cyclotrons. Radio = active iodine
which emits rays like those of ra-
dunn, is not known in nature-it
must be made artifcially.
When person drinks water con-
tanning this kind of iodine, scientists
can tell exactly where it goes by
listening to the chattering sound
made by the rays in an electrical
pickup. 1t goes almost entirely to
the thyroid gland, 5000 times as
much concentrating there as in any
other tissue. Thus concentrated,
these rays do exactly the same sort
of surgical removal as radium or
X-rays. They can dissolve part or
all Of thyroid gland.

Lydia of Honolulu Was
A Liluokalani Lyricist

Lydia Kamekeha Liluokalani
Q838-l917), last reigning queen of
the Hawaiian islands, was born in
Honolulu. In 1891, upon the death
of her brother, King Kalakaua, who
had appointed her regent during his
last visit to the United States, she
assembled to the throne. In that year
her husband, John o. Dominis, a ma
tive of Boston who became governor
Of Aohu, died and the queen, follow
ing the advice of counselors, endeav-
ored to substitute reactionary con-
stitution for the one in effect. This
substitute constitution, which dis
eliminated against the white resi-
dents, aroused great opposition and
in 1893 she was deposed and Pro
visional government, which later be-
came republic, was set up. An
unsuccessful attempt to regain the
throne was made in 1894.
The former queen visited this
country to plead her cause and in
1908 made claim against the Unit
ed States government for $3.50, 900.
The court decided against her, but
later she was granted a pension by
the Hawaiian legislature. For sew
eral years she lived in California,
later visiting Hawaii.
She wrote many beautiful songs Of
which Aloha De Farewell to Thee)
probably is the best known.

Celebrated Italian Tenor
Lived In Two Centuries

Giovanni Battista Rubini was a
celebrated Italian tenor, born at Ro-
mano, near Bergamo, Italy, April
T. 1895. His father, music pro-
lessor, was anxious that the boy
be a musician, and at the age of
eight young Giovanni sang in church
choirs and played the violin in an
orchestra. He continued concert
work, his first important concert
being at Naples, but his career prob
ably dates from his first appearance
in Paris in 1925.
Between 1881 and 1843 he sang
either in England or Paris, and in
l843 he began tour with List
through Holland and Germany. Aft
er they separated at Berlin, Rubini
went on to St. Petersburg where
the Emperor Nicholas made him
director of singing in the Russian
dominions and conferred on him the
rank of colonel. He retired in 1874
to a home he had purchased near
Romano and when he died there on
March 2, 1854, he left a great for
tune accumulated from his operat-
ic career

Popular Choice Defeated

Two Presidents were elected by
the electoral college who actually
were defeated by the popular vote.
Benjamin Harrison, in 1888, re
ceived $4,000 fewer votes but was
elected over Grover Cleveland. Ru-
therford B. Hayes was elected In
1876 although Samuel Tilden, his OPP
ponent, had plurality of 25O, 600.
An analysis of the votes cast re-
veals that Harrison carried a num-
Der of states with large number
of electors by small plurality and
Cleveland won a heavy vote In
states with a small number Of cleo
tors. In the Hayes-Tilden election,
a dispute over the electoral votes IN
certain states caused congress to
refer the vote to an electoral COM
mission composed Of eight Republl-
cans and seven Democrats, which
awarded 185 electoral votes to
Hayes and 184 to Tilden.
In 1924 Andrew jackson received
a popular plurality Of more than
5O,000, but as no candidate received
a majority of the electoral vote the
election was decided by the house
OF representatives, which chose
Adams.

Police Shows Courtesy PAYS

Police officials of Detroit, Mich,
believe courtesy on the roads and
the absence of traffic cutting and
racing reduce accident rates sub
stantially, so they are putting into
practice an idea that ticket Of re-
ward should be given courtesy driv-
ers-and by the same traffic "cops"
who ticket their erring ways.
During the few days the tickets
of reward have been issued, they
have been presented to a milkman
who stopped his truck to help a
confused, elderly lady from the
middle of the street; a driver who
helped push a stalled automobile to
the curb after it had stopped for a
red light; and two small boys who
got off their bicycles at busy inter-
sections and pushed them across the
street on the outside Of pedestrian
traffic.
While the plan still is in its in
fancy, the police department hopes
that a system may be developed for
keeping a record Of courtesy cita-
tons, and that eventually windshield
stickers will be used to identify care
full and courteous drivers.
