Union textile operatives employed by the Merrimac Manufacturing company walked out today when they learned that a 20 per cent cut was effective. The company employes about 2,000 workers, most of whom are union members. Efficient Panel Made From Gloss IJIatk Paper, Shellac and Knumrl I Veil to Cover (Mass for (llieap Kadio Panel. Many radi i amateurs regret spend ing a dollar -.r tuo on a panel and would Kladly w Iconic a mat, well insulated front piece for their ets. ' One may lie made from two piece of window glass, a piece of black paper the .rue sie as the panel and some shellac and enamel. The scales are marked on the pa p:per with :he enamel and when dry tie opposite side is given a coat of shellac and idaccd over one pane of glass. The side on which the scales arc made is then coated with shellac and the second pane of glass laid upon it. All three are clamped together. Win n dry the holes are drilled with a sharp iron drill, using a little oil or turpentine. The best manner of holding the completed panel to the cabinet is by means of square brackets lining over the edge. Radio Amateurs May Make Stranded Wire Many radio fans have at times wanted sonic .stranded wire in a hurry, and possibly have felt that they would have liked to save the cash involved in its purchase, if the time element were not important. A neat, smooth stranded wire, excel lent for your antenna or other pur poses where .stranded wire is superior, can be easily made at home. Put a number of wires together, all of the same length, and fasten one end to a nail or book on the wall, then place the other end in the chuck of your hand drill, making sure that they are all even. Stand back far enough to pull the wires taut, not too tight, then turn the crank of the drill slowly until the wires are twisted into one. By using cotton covered wire you can make a neat power cable. Several strands of wire from the secondary of a spark coil makes a neat wire for winding variometers and other regenerative coils. Sparks I o Angeles will have radio in 20 of its public ochools before the fall tension begins. 1 he problem of hav ing material broadcast that will meet the otrandards of the local peda gogues is a worrisome one. The steamship Santa Louisa claims the record for long distance recep tion. A concert bro:ir(i:ir at Pitts burgh was heard at Iquique, Chile. Ciovernment reports credit Cali fornia with the lead of all the states in radio development. Los Angeles claims to have more stations than the whole state of New York. The danger of stringing radio wires over light or power wires was clem- i otistrated in New Jersey recently ! when a well known citizen was j shocked to death. Student Thief Gets Liht Fine Friends to Aid of Youth Who Stole Gun to Kill Self. The Ree Want Ads are best busi ness boosters. A new dav dawned in Central po lice court yesterday morning for Lin coln Sykes. Jl. until recently a State Teachers' college student at Cedar Falls, la., who stole a revolver here Sunday to kill himself, and was cap tured bv police. Friends and relatives flocked to his assistance, and after being fined $5 for the theft Sykcs squared his shoulders and announced that he was going to his home in Swalesdale, la., "to amount to something. Raymond Ydung, 4923 'Chicago street, attorney, who used to know the Sykcs family "back in Swales dale," hurried to the young man's aid in court yesterday morning and pleases his case so eloquently that Judge W. K Wappich assessed a minimum tine. Joseph Sykes, a brother, and Kath- crme Sykes, a sister, a graduate of the teachers' college at Cedar Falls, were in court. Sykes was arrested after he fled with a revolver from the store of Max Kirschenbaum, 1211 Douglas street. "I wanted to kill myself" he ex plained. Police were unable to learn his mo tive. He had 27 cents in his pockets. Illinois Central Railroad Co. To AH Illinois Central System Shopmen: Chicago, 111., July 10, 1922. On June 14th I addressed a communication to you in which I appealed to you to cast your vote against the proposed strike. Since that time the strike has been called. by your leaders, and some of you have left your positions, while others "have remained steadfast. I feel that the time has arrived when I should make clear to those of you who have left your positions, as well as those of you who have remained, the position of the Illinois Central System with reference to thi3 entire matter. In my letter to you of June 14th I enumerated the three things which your leaders proposed to have you strike against; namely, (1) contracting of shop plants to outsiders, (2) the order of the United States Railroad Labor Board re lating to rules and working conditions and (3) the order of the United States Railroad Labor Board establishing rates of pay effective July 1. The question of contracting shops to outsiders is not a part of the contro versy so far as you and the management of the Illinois Central System are con cerned, because this railway system has not contracted any of its shops to out siders. The questions involved in the matter of rules and working conditions and the order establishing rates of pay effective July 1 are the only ones at isfMe. Thev are not questions between you and the Illinois Central System man agement. They were decided by the United States Railroad Labor Board and those of you who are out on strike are striking against lawful decisions of a branch of the United States Government. It goes without saying that the public welfare cannot permit the revoca tion of a decision of a governmental age ncy under a threat of the use of force. No patriotic citizen would expect such a thing to be done, or would have it done. We believe that we have the best gove rnment in the world, but you will all agree with me that it would not long so remain if its institutions could be oyer ridden and set aside in the manner sou ght by those who are contending against the lawful decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board. The management of the Illinois Central System believes that those of you who are out on strike have been misled. It bears no feeling of hostility toward those who left its service. To those who have remained loyal it acknowledges a debt of gratitude. It feels that it has a valuable asset in its old employes, and it is eager to hold them together. It b elieves that, if those of you who are out will calmly analyze the issues upon which you are striking your better judg ment will assert itself and you will return to your positions. I sincerely invite you to return. Moreover, I earnestly advise you to pursue that course. Those who report for duty not later than 11:59 P. M. Monday, July 17, 1922, mav do so with the resumption of full seniority and pension rights and will be treated as if their services had been continuous. Those returning after that time, if accepted, will rank as new employes. I trust that those of you who are out will consider this matter seriously and that your action, whatever it may be, will turn out to be for your own best inter ests, as well as the best interests of your families and those dependent upon you for a living. I ask those of you who are striking to bear in mind that you accepted the decisions of the United' States Railroad Labor Board when they were favorable to you, and that the Illinois Central System accepted those decisions which were unfavorable to it. Let me also again remind you that since December, 1917, you have received "three general increases in wages and that your hourly rates of wages in effect at present, as fixed by the United States Railroad Labor Board, are from 40 to 113 per cent higher than in 1917, as follows: July. 1922 1917 Increases Hourly Rate Hourly Rate Over 1917 Machinists, Boilermakers and Blacksmiths 70c 50c 40 Helpers, various classes 47c 29 c to 32 45 to 59 Coach Carpenters 70c 40c 75 Freight Car Carpenters v 63c 35c 77 Car Repairmen 63c 29 2c 113 Upon reflection, I believe that you will be broad-minded enough to accept the recent decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board which you con sider unfavorable. A long-drawn-out contest would mean losses and suffering, not only for you and your families, but also for the public. We should all recog nize that the public interest always rises above the interests of the railroad or of its employes. t None, of us is fortunate enough to have issues affecting his life always de cided in his favor. The principle of "rule or ruin" invariably has led to dis aster. It can have no other ending. The wisdom of the principles of give and take" and "live and let live" have been fully demonstrated. Those are the prin ciples upon which we desire to conduct this railway system for the benefit of the public, the employes and the owners. The management of the Illinois Central System is under obligations to serve the public with uninterrupted transportation and under any conditions which may arise it must faithfully discharge that obligation. I ask that you accept this letter in that same friendly spirit in which I ad dress you, free from any feeling of hostility or censure for anything that has been said or done in regard to this unhappy affair.
