...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...
...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...
...reorganization will result in a shake down of inflated assets and liabilities, in a smaller, more compact pyramid. "Besco" will yield its supremacy to a new company. Dominion Steel & Coal Corp., which will absorb some of the old companies, control others. Its shares will probably be listed on the New York Stock Exchange where "Besco" has been an unpopular ''dog," selling below $5 a share...
Bromley's Luck. Last June Lieut. Harold Bromley raced his low-wing Lockheed down a runway for a Tacoma-to-Tokyo flight. Gasoline splashed in his eyes. Out of control, the plane ground-looped, broke into pieces. In September the late Lieut. Herbert J. Fahy testflew an identical plane for Bromley. Part of the tail surfaces washed away. Fahy was severely injured. Last week Bromley's third Tacoma-Tokyo ship burst into flames over the Mojave desert, near the Lockheed plant at Burbank, Calif. Testpilot M. W. Catlin was horribly burned...
