Omaha Company's "Cathedral" Far Superior to Old
Machines Electro-Magnet Feature Valued at
$250,000 by Expert Engineer Experienced Men
Behind Corporation.
Plans are in progress by the di
rectors of the United Phonograph
corporation to erect a factory here
for the manufacture of their im
proved phonograph. . The factory
will be a distinct addition to the
growing industries of the city, and
that it will occupy a leading and
substantial position in the Omaha
business, world is attested by the
fact that C. A. Briggs, district
manager of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender
Co. has resigned to be
come vice-president and sales mana
ger of the new concern.
Improved Machine.
The instrument of the Omaha
concern has many advantages and
improvements over all other, phono
graphs by reason of two valuable
points, both covered by patents,
one being of an electro-magnetic
nature and the other a tone arm of
remarkable simplicity and accuracy.
The electro-magnet feature has the
endorsement of James C. Kelsey.
one of the best known of America's
consulting electrical experts.
Mr. Briggs, who is an experienced
phonograph man, is enthusiastic
ovep- the outlook for the new ma
chine, and says that the time has
arrived when the east can no longer
compete with the west in the manu
facture and sale of such machines in
western territory, even without the
advantages possessed by the new
machine.
The new machine will be called
the "Cathedral" and is an instru
ment of the all-record playing type.
It has a beautiful tone which sug
gested the name.
With reference to its value as a
commercial proposition, Engineer
Kelsey has expressed his formal
opinion ast follows:
"I am disposed to advise you that
it appears to be one of those basic
inventions upon which large manu
facturing successes are founded. I
will call your attention, also, to
the very high commercial advertis
ing value of an electro-magnetic
reproducer as distinguished from
the ordinary mechanical reproducer,
as the public are unquestionably
quick to become interested in de
vices of an electrical nature. In re
ply. to your request as to valuation.
I can advise you that I would con
sider ?250.00 not at all high."
Officers of Company.
Merton L. Corey, president, ex
pressed the belief that great strength
lies in the fact that the personnel
of the new corporation is made up
for the most part of men who have
been connected with the manufac
ture and sale of phonographs for
many years men who know the
business.' This is particularly true
of C. A. Briggs and R. W. Mor-

LABOR CONGRESS
WORKING TOWARD
MEDIATION PLAN
Members Endeavoring to Se
cure Concessions From
Corporations So Report
May Be Made,
Washington. Oct. 11. Interest in
organized labor's effort to obtain
intervention, by the industrial con
ference in the steel strike sifted
Saturday to New York and steel
centers, where members of the
"steering committee" of IS, which
came to a deadlock over the resolu
tion, are endeavoring to secure suf
ficient concessions from the steel
corporations to enable the commit
tee to agree upon a report to lay
before the conference Tuesday.,
Members of the committee here
pointed out that conference action
would be useless unless the United
States Steel corporation was will
ing to accept mediation by the con
ference and agree to reinstate the
striking workmen, pending the re
port of the adjudication committee
of six, proposed by Mr. Gompers.
Judge E. H. Gary returned to New
York, following the session of the
conference, and is expected to con
fer with the board of directors of
the corporation, of which lie is chair
man. Senator Calder, republican of
New York, in the senate demanded
that the industrial conference make
the interests of the public its para
mount consideration and denounced
the "prostitution" by organized la
bor of collective bargaining "as, a
weapon for ultimate domination of
wages, profits, political action and
of social conventions."
: Lawrence F.- Sherman, executive
secretary of the League for Indus
trial Rights, made public proposals
which the league has sent to Sec
retary Lane, chairman of the con
ference, to submit.
The conference has decided that
proposals of this nature, from out
side agencies, will be furnished each
of the ythree groups, which are at
liberty to bring them up for discus
sion in the regular way.
One of the bills proposed by the
league would make incorporated as
sociations, whether of employers or
workmen, suable.

Gayety Homecoming
For Abe Reynolds
And Beauty Chorus
The Gayety theater resembled a
homecoming celebration when Abe '
Reynolds' Revue opened a 'week's
engagement. The opening indicated
that tremendous crowds would wel
come this burlesque favorite and his
Max Spiegel beautv chorus in
"Among the Women."
Outside of Mr. Reynolds, women
feature the production, and clothes
feature the women. The gowns
worn by the ladies of the chorus and
principals are wonderful creations
and called forth constant exclama
tions of surprise from the women in
the audience. -"' .
The stage settings are elaborate in
all of the seven scenes. The Lin
gerie Shop combines the beauty of
the gowns and scenery in a man
ner that is extremely pleasing.
Abe Reynolds has a laugh in every
line and well deserved the welcome
accorded him. Gladys Parker in a
soubrette role followed closely in
the esteem of the audience. She
has a good voice and is a clever
dancer.
Dottic Ray, in musical numbers,
was well received. Bunny Dale, as
a real vampire, not only vamped the
actors in the play, but vamped her
way into the good graces of all. Rav
