...Southern Pacific subsidiary) and the Brotherhood of Railway & Steamship Clerks. When the Brotherhood began to choose its representatives to appear before the Board of Mediation, the railroad organized a company union, attempted to inveigle Brotherhood men into it. On the ground that the railroad would by this means control both sides of the wage argument before the Board of Mediation, the Brotherhood asked U. S. District Judge Joseph Chappell Hutcheson Jr. of Texas for an order restraining the company from interfering with the Brotherhood's organization. It was charged that 1,700 Brothers had been intimidated into joining...
...Continuous radio signals from an incoming airplane would be caught by the direction-finders of the radio stations which would automatically transmit the plane's triangulated position to the television station. There, suspended above the airport-model would be a television "eye" (corresponding roughly to a radio microphone) controlled by three movable arms which are actuated by the direction-finders. Thus the relative position of "eye" to model airport is always the position of the plane over the actual airport. By television, the view of the model airport is transmitted to a small screen in the pilot...
...Most of the best-bred Scotties in the U. S. last fortnight foregathered on a terrace of Mr. & Mrs. Edward F. Button's Long Island estate and permitted Dr. Clarence Cook Little, onetime president of the University of Michigan, now managing director of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, to compare their little black perfections in the Specialty Show of the Scottish Terrier Club, No. 1 event of the U. S. Scotty season. While the owners sipped tea and talked dog-shop, Dr. Little chose Watchman of Monagh Lea as No. 1 U. S. Scotty. This...
...mark in the legal profession. For some years Mr. Carlisle did practice law in Watertown, N. Y., but soon the merger instinct arose within him and he organized Northern New York Trust Co. from a consolidation of two upstate banks.

In 1920 Mr. Carlisle & syndicate bought Northern New York Utilities, Inc., which in 1926 became a portion of Northeastern Power Corp. Northeastern operated...
...belonging to the laboratory and the timing of the electron was accomplished by a short wave oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator was obtained by the use of piezo-electric standards of frequency which were also developed in the laboratory and have come into great importance commercially in the control of the wave lengths of radio transmitting stations. From the measurements of electron velocity Professor Chaffee and Miss Perry have obtained an accurate value of the physical constant e/m (charge divided by mass of electron). The value obtained is 1.761x107. An interesting fact is that this new value checks...
