RADICAL ROW
 TO BE AIRED
 BY WOBBLIES

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-The internal disagreements in radical circles of America will be given an airing November 13 when the Industrial Workers of the World hold their annual convention here. Since the war time conviction of nearly 100 of it's leaders and the subsequent flight to Russia of Big Bill Hay wood, the general secretary who is under a twenty year prison sentence, the I. w. w. has been less active.
 Members complain, however, that the general public has grown ac- customed to blaming everything sav- bring of radicalism on the Haywood organization and they have been given much unsought credit for the activities of others.
 The I. w. W. cup of wrath flowed over when the Communist national convention, which met secretly in the Michigan sand hills south of St. Joseph last August, was raided by federal men, and the public and some newspapers referred to it as an l. w. w. organization.
 The Communist Party of America and the Industrial Workers of the World are the open enemies in Amer ican radical circles So one of the topics on the agenda of the l. w. w. convention November 13 will be "Means of Combating the Con- munistic Tendencies of the Militant Working Class"
 The I. w. w. and the Communist Party, which is the afficial repre- sentative in this country of the Mos COW International, disagreed over the question of how to accomplish the revolution they advocate. The Con- munists propose to overthrow the government first, while the l. w w., according to Communist literature entertain the absurd theory that the revolution can be accomplished by the direct seizure of industry without first overthrowing the cap italist state.'
 Communists are said to have un- dertaken to overcome the syndical ist prejudices of the I. W. W. anc convert them to the Russian idea and hence the l. w. w. are planning some counter propaganda at theil forthcoming convention.

JUDGES PLAN JURY VERDICT
 BY MAJORITY

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Oct. 17.-Rec- ommendation that the stated legal code be amended so that majority" verdcts in both criminal and civil cases would suffice, was contained in the report of circuit judges who met here at the call of Governor Cary A. vision to the legislature at it's next session.
 The judges recommended that in cases where jury of 12 men is re- quired, the verdict of eleven be ac- cepted while in panels of six men, the opinion of five should prevail. Under the present state law, all except capi- tai cases are tried by juries of six men.
 Another recomm endation deals with present procedure under which judge is automatically disqualified in a case where two electors sign affidavits that he is prejudiced. The judges suggest ed that the presiding judge be allowed to sit in judgment of himself in de- termining whether he would be preju- diced if the allegations set forth in the fort to thwart the freeing of law vio- lators on technicalities, the judges conference proposed that the state be given the right of appeal from the judgment of lower courts where cases are dismissed on demurrer, quashed indictments, or the like.
 The provision in the code that counsel for the defendant shall have the last argument before the jury when the defendant does not take the stand, would be eliminated in the pro posed changes. The conference also adopted Governor Hardee's sugges- tion that the jury selection method be stabilized by establishment in each county of a jury commission who would draw up for prospective jury service the names of not less than 1 290 nor more than 800 qualified male persons This, with a view to imprOv- ing the personnel of juries. No provision has been made in this state as yet for service on juries by women.
 The present law also would be to another county of criminals when in the opinion of the governor, circuit
 judge or sheriff, a fair trial would not be accorded in the immediate com munity

PHONES TO BECOME
 RADIO RECEIVERS

EVERETT, Wash, Oct. 18.-Tele- phones in Everett, already equipped with a device which measures con- yersation, are to be made into wire less receiving stations through the use of an attachment supplied by the Puget Sound Telephone Co.,, an in- dependent corporation which serves this city.
 To hear concerts, news bulletins and other features thrown onto the air by broadcasting stations of Se- attle, 30 miles from here, Everett radio fans, who also are telephone subscribers. will simply hook their radio receiving sets onto the at tachment, which is known as the radio adapter, and which will fit into the telephone bell box. Ex- pensive aerials and wiring will not be needed.
 In addition to supplying the adap- ter the telephone company, work ing with the Seattle Radio Assoc1- ation, will mail to it's radio sub- scribers weekly programs Of the broadcastng stations and will collect S5 year from each fan to defray the cost. The Seattle association hopes to have telephones in all other cities within a radius of l0C miles, equipped with the adapter.
 The conversation n-measuring de- vice, which, it is said, is not used anywhere else in the world has been operated here for eight months. and enables the company to charge for the telephone serV- ice according to the length of the conversations.
 When many residents found that the device, called the telechromo- meter, increased their monthly bills they protested to the State Depart ment of Public Works, which held meeting September to decide whether the affari must be aban- doned Tn the meantime 629 Ev- erett residents have signed appli- cations for new telephones to be installed if the machine is given up Friends of the telechromometer say that some of the opposition was caused by the fact that it made "listening-in on party lines cost just so much for every minute the telephone receiver Is off the hook

SEE SUCCESS IN
HARDING EFFORT
Secretary Davis Thinks Presidents
Plans to End Coal Strike viii
Stop Trouble; Predicts Min
ing Again Soon.
(By The United Press. J

Washington, July 13.-Secretary of
Labor Davis today predicted success
for President Hardings efforts to end
the coal strike.
In a letter to Thomas d. Mullin OF
Pittsburgh, the secretary said;
Personally I feel very optimistic
and certain that the crisis has been
reached and the firm stand taken by
the president before any suffering
has occurred will insure that the
operation of the mines at full capa-
city will be resumed in the near
future
"The great trouble in the coal in
dustry is that it is over-developed to
the extent that there are about 20O,-
900 more men employed than are
necessary to mine the coal we need.
This means that the mines can pro-
duce all we need by working only
about half time"

Washington. July 13.-The be-
numbing effect of two great strikes
made itself felt on the nations
transportation system today. accord
ing to reports reaching President
Harding.
Trains In large numbers are being
withdrawn from service daily, the
reports revealed.
The strike of railroad shop men
is responsible for conditions in the
east, while lack of fuel, caused by
the mine strike, is the chief factor
in curtailment Of train service in
the west
President Harding is receiving
confidential reports from all lines.
Reports compiled today indicate
that conditions are daily becoming
more serious Increasing numbers
of trains are being laid up.
Creeping paralysis according to
one official, is in progress. If the
same rate of progress is continued
for two weeks more, industry in
general will be dealt severe blow,
he said.
In the meantime the post office
department is quietly pushing plans
to prevent decentralization of the
mails. A vast fleet Of airplanes
motor trucks and automobiles will
be pressed into service in the event
of breakdown in railway trans
portation. Many thousands of trucks
are in possession of the post office
If these trucks cannot meet the
demand the war department will be
called upon. If the combined auto
motive equipment of these two de-
partments prove insufficient, it is
planned to enter into contracts with
private concerns.
The post office department is now
operating a mail truck service at
points isolated by the strike Motor
service is being maintained between
vi OCh'iiiC anu 4hiiSoiu, oAdSb ar
tus, Okla, and Wellington, Texas;
Smithville and San Marcos, Texas,
and between other points.
Meanwhile, administration officials
stated that federal troops will be
used only as last resort in the
present strike situation. To local
civil authorities cooperating with
federal agents will first be left the
task of maintaining order. If they
cannot cope with the situation state
troops will be called with federal
troops to be used only in a grave
emergency.

KILLING OF HARVEST
HAND NOW SENSATION

Oklahoma City, July 13.-Investiga-
tion into the murder of Martin
"Humpy' Sumpter, harvest hand,
here Tuesday, took sensational turn
today, when Irene Henson, sweet
heart of the dead man, was placed
under arrest by county officers. The
arrest was made at the instigation of
Sumpter's father, officers said.
The robbery-as-amotive theory for
the murder has been dropped, it was
said, as investigation showed that all
money Sumpter was known to have
at the time of his murder was found
in his clothes.
