'Juralry, president of the Wyoming
I'o.il Operators' association, stated
that the operators agreed with Presi
dent Harding's request for immediate
resumption at the wage scale in ef
fect before the strike was called ind
readjustment of the wage scale by a
hoard of arbitration.
Astonishing Reply.
"In reply to this, the two miners'
representatives, Martin Cahill, presi
dent of the Wyoming union and
James Morgan, secretary, astonished
the meeting by stating that they had
no authority to negotiate and that
this authority was possessed only by
the policy committee, composed of
some 200 union officials from all over
the country.
"When requested by the governor
to endeavor to secure from the policy
committee authority to negotiate, the
union officials replied that the policy
committee is not now in session.
They declined to ask the committee
to meet. They further stated that
they knew appeal to the police com
mittee for authority to negotiate a
settlement would be futile.
No Decision.
"After the meeting had ended thus
the operators asked the governoT
what would be his policy if they
tried to open their mines. He replied
that if the sheriffs of the counties
vere unable to maintain order he
would send in the state's military
forces."
Mr. Megeath said the operators did
not decide whether or not they will
attempt to open the mines under
protection of the troops. He declared
the great surplus of men in the coal
mining industry is responsible, for
much of the dissatisfaction.
Attracted by Big Wages.
"They have been attracted by the
big wages," he said. "Between 1914
and 1921 wages in the Wyoming
mines have increased 117 to 177 per
cent."
"But the miners say they don't
make a living wage because the mines
are shut down part of the year. How
about that?" he was asked.
"Seventy per cent of the coal min
ers don't want to work more than
hey don't have to make a living. If
;hey can make a living by four hours'

Tinfoil-2'XI1
Paraffin paper-6 Mils thick
Those radio fans who wish to make
their own grid leaks and condensers
may follow these directions. The
simplest grid leak is made by draw
ing a pencil line on a piece of paper
and fastening the ends of the paper
strip to the wood of the cabinet or in
strument base with wood screws,
with copper washers under the heads,
to which the circuit wires can be thus
attached firmly. A common size of
grid condenser has a capacity, of
,00025 microfarads.
If paraffined paper six-thousandths
of an inch thick is used, the paper al
ways being somewhat larger than
the tinfoil, then two tinfoil or copper
leads, 2x1 inches, will be sufficient to
give thts capacity. Two pieces of
copper leaf or foil are cut or bound
in the two ends of the condenser
leaves, as shown in the detail at fig
ure 6.
Two other pieces of paraffined
paper should be cut out. or three in
all, the two copper or tinfoil leaves,
being separated by the central
paraffined paper sheet. The three are
then rolled around the mica or card
board strip and tied in place with a
piece of string.
The tinfoil and paper leaves should
be wound tightly around the paper
strip and preferably placed under sev
eral books until they have firmly
creased and set. A pencil line may
be drawn through a scratch in the
mica, or if a piece of cardboard is
used, a pencil line is drawn between
the two metal eyelets as shown.

When in Omaha Stop at
Hotel Rome
The ether will resound with music
sweet and melodious tonight when
the Omaha Bee broadcasts another
clever program of entertainment
features from the Omaha drain Ex
change station, WAAW.
Lharles W. Fettis, blind musician,
who has been entertaining street
crowds in Omaha for the current
week with ballads and popular melo
dies on the accordion will be one of
the features of The Omaha Bee's program.
Mr. Pettis, who has been blind for
the past five years, is playing his way
across the continent from Long
Beach, Cal., to Boston. His wife and
4-year-old child, Elsa, are with him.
He will play two classical selections
for radio audiences.
Maurice Ingram, boy saxophone
king, is only 14 years old, but he
plays some wicked notes. He'll jazz
three saxophone solos for radio au
diences tomorrow that'll be listening
in on The Omaha Bee's concert to
morrow night. .Young Ingram's se
lections will be "Saxophobia," "Sax
alia," and "Saxology." He is a pupil
of Will L. Hetherington.
The third feature on The Omaha
Bee's radio program tonight will
be two operatic vocal numbers by
Mrs. James Burns, Scottish singer
who sang before royalty in Europe.
So well was her voice received by
radio audiences several weeks ago
that her operatic numbers are expect
ed to make a hit.
SPARKS
From Toronto comes word that the
radio fever has spread from the
United States to Canada, and all the
electrical firms and even other or
ganizations not closely associated
with electrical apparatus are experi
encing an extraordinary inflation of
trade. Factories are running under
pressure, with three shifts every 24
hours, under conditions similar to
those prevailing in munition works
m the urgent days of the war.
A system enabling telephone sub
scribers of Pekin and Tientsin,
China, to talk to each other by radio
from their house or office telephones,
the conversation taking place over
wire lines to the central office and
then by radio between the two cities
a distance of over 80 miles was in
stalled by the China Electric com
pany recently and tested successfully.
The equipment is the product ot an
American company. It is believed
that this is the longest radio tele
phone sen-ice open to public use in
the world.

as Auto Turns Over
Alliance, Neb., July 27. (Spe
cial.) Three women were , injured
and two men and a baby narrowly
escaped injury when a Ford car,

Mattison sustained severe bruises,
and Mrs. Carroll was painfully in

and was almost destroyed.

The Goodyear Cord Truck Tire
Is Now Made Rut-Proof
The buoyant, active, trac
tive Goodyear CordTruck
Tire is now made proof
against the ruts.
To that great durability
which it has demonstrated
from its pioneer days in
country hauling, whether
on the road or in the fields,
has now been added extra
resistance to rut wear.
The result of special design
and construction is a Good
year Cord Truck Tire
capable of mastering road
conditions severer than
any other pneumatic can
possibly endure.
1 has an extra thick side- strutted of stoutest long-staple
wall of toughest tread stock cotton cords, laid in groups of
reaching from bead to head plies that alternate in direction
around the tire. and are insulated in pure rubber.
2 Its body is specially con- 1 A double breaker strip backs
w
up the tread.
4 The tread itself is the power
fully tractive Goodyear All
Weather Tread, famous for
its sure-footedness in any going.
The sidcwall construction of the rut-proofed
Goodyear Cord stands up to thousands of miles
of combat with the deepest, hardest ruts.
The patented group-ply construction keeps the
tire cool internally.
The sharp, thick blocks of the All-Weather Tread
bite deep into the mud, slush, snow or ice. Their
wedge-like action prevents side slip. Their steady
forward gripping carries the truck onward full
distance at every turn of the wheel, saving fuel
and engine strain.
The Goodyear Cord Truck Tire today is the
supreme pneumatic for dirt-road hauling.
Its tested ability to withstand the severest con
ditions of service results in unexampled mileage
at low cost Made in all standard sizes from 4Vi
to 10 inches.
For other types of hauling, Goodyear makes other special types of tires.
