society woman "Rafiies" Is WORKING
at the society functions in Chi
cago's Gold Coast" and making q
fine collection of costly jewelry,
beaded bags, furs and other articles
The harvest reaped in the last
few weeks at these functions ex-
ceeds $4,000. Hardly a luncheon
or dance Is now complete without
a report soon after that some
woman has been robbed of jewelry
or other, valuables. Recent thefts
include a diamond brooch valued at
$1,000, a diamond bar pin worth
$1,275, ear rings costing $3.50 and
similar articles.
The thief is said to be a pretty
young woman.with a doll baby face
who has entree to all society func-
tions. Ofhcials of Lloyds lpsur-

The proposed merger involves

Chief contention OF the eight

MEANS TO FIGHT
RADIO MONOPOLY
IN u.s.. DISCUSSED
Marconi Interests Design
To Get Hold Here,
Cabinet Hears.

The Cabinet yesterday had under
consideration the problem of radio
in the United States
with particular reference TO the pri-
vste monopoly, commonly referred
to as the Marconi monopoly
throughout the world. and a pro-
posed extension of this monopoly
in the United States.
II has come to the attention of
government departments that the
three big private radio concerns
operating in the United States arc
planning a combination designed as
a cog IN the worldwide Mscconi
monopoly. The concerns involved
in this country are the Redo Cor
poration of America. the Westing-
house Company and the Federal Ra-
dio Corporation.
Examples Discussed.
How other countries are propos-
ing TO fight this monopoly by per-
mitting the transmission of gen.
eral and commercial business
through government wireless was
described TO the Cabinet and the
participation by the United States
in this movement through trans
mission Of general business by the
United States navy wireless was also
discussed. How to improve this
American service was considered
together with the whole problem Of
domestic and international radio
communication.
As a result Of the discussion Il
was agreed that the state, War,
Navy. Postofiice and Commerce de-
parts should each name a technical
expert who should constitute a spe-
cial commission on radio matters.
To Held Meeting.
This commission will hold it's first
meeting Thursday. and il will seek
to Cooperate with members Of the
International Communications Con-
ference, which is in session here,
working out. among other things
problems of the radio as they sf-
feet international wireless trans
mission.
Secretary Hoover brought the
subject to the attention Of the Cab
met. Aside from the broader in
ternational problems. there arc
many local conditions needing at
tention. As it is now the radio
business in the United States is
in very confused state.

KITCHIN RETURNS
TO FIGHT TARIFF
Convalescent Will Lend At
tack on Emergency Ag-
ricultural Bill.

Representative Kitchin. of North
Carolina. former chairman of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
who took no part in the affairs of
the House in the last session on
account of illness, will signalize his
return to the position of ranking
minority member of the committee 9
by leading fight against the agri-
cultural emergency tariff bill.
Representative Kitchin is now at
work on a minority report to be
presented from the Ways and Means
Committee in opposition to the bill.
This report may be made public
during the present week in adva nee
OF the opening of the session.
At one time during the last ses-
sion Representative Kitchin intend
ed to withdraw entirely from the
Ways and Means Committee. beliey-
ing that his strength might not be
sufficient to take an active bano in
the fight on tariff and tax legis;a :.
tion, as well as act as minority
leader. He finally decided to r,-
main on the Ways and Means Com
mittee upon the insistence of Deno-
Gratis who did not wish Representa-
tive Garner. Of Texas, to become the
ranking minority member of the
committee.
The withdrawal Of Representative
kitchin and the defeat for re-elec-
ton OF Representative Henry r
Rainey. of Illinois, and Representa-
tive Hull, of Tennessee. would have
placed Representative Garner AT the
top OF the list. The objection IN
Representative Garner lay in tn.
fact that he was one of the South-
ern Democras who supported the
emergency agricultural bill in tine
last session.

From The Tribnns's Washington Ba,reau
49, WASHINGTON, June 1e.-The United
States Tariff Commission announced TO-
day it has completed its survey of the
wool growing industry Of the world,
which, in many respects is q continua
tion Of the study made by the Tariff
BOARD in 1911.
The outstanding feature Of the In
dustry in the United States, according
to the commissions report, is the grad.
ual encroachment of other agricultural
pursuits on the sheep ranges of the
country.
The report of the situation. espe-
cially, in regard to surplus wool and
the slump in prices, is brought down
TO January l, 1921. 1t shows that on
that. date the United States had on
hand about 20 per cent more than the
normal amount of wool and consumn-
tion by the mills was decidedly below
normal.
This heavy surplus which bore heavily
on the prices Of the 1921 clip was not
confined to the United States, but was
noted IN the chief producing countries
abroad,. especially Australia and New
Zealand: This surplus Is depressing
