PARIS, June 21.-The new premier.
Edouard Herriot, is taken to task
by the Echo de Paris as lacking in
dignity. AS his first offense. the
paper cites his act in supplying the
press, after the May parliamentary
elections, with a photograph showing
him smoking a pipe. This picture
was widely reproduced and possibly
influenced NJ. Moro-Giafferi, as the
latter arrived at the Chamber of
Deputies for the opening session with
a pipe in his mouth. He has since
become undersecretary of state for
technical instruction.
The second offense charged against
NJ Herriot is that, after working
until II o'clock at night in forming
his cabinet, he carried off those
present to a. brasserie near the
BSstille, in Paris East End, to par

M. Doumergue, Frances new presi-

extent of being a, fervent advocate
of bull-fighting, which is almost as
favored q sport there as in neighbor-

garding bullfighting, the president
is quoted as replying:
my present position hardly allows
me to reply to newspaper demands
for interviews. but ! find no difficulty
in assuring you that my opinion OF
bullfghting has never varied. This
sight, ever dear to our compatriots
of Midi, still pleases me. Many of

lenient in regard to other shows

Just before he took the platform
one noted delegate was heard argu-

he could have five or ten minutes in

S"Troub!e Shooting" by Inspectors.
Supervisor of Radio Dillon of the
sixth district, whose headquarters are
in San Francisco, received so many
complaints of interference on waves
from 800 to 500 meters in the neigh
lZ.,
that he made a special trip to un-
earth the noise which prevented ra-
dio reception.
The trouble came from the Cottrel
electric precipitAting plant, operated
by a smelter. After considerable in
vestigation he found that by moving
the resistance outside the middle wall
of the building and inserting an iron
core Impotence in the line the radia-
tion was reduced. He then bridged
the spark gap with an l.. c. circuit
to absorb the energy of the oscilla-
tory current developed. When the
changes were made he called Globe
and Miami and asked fans to listen
in. Both cities reported the inter
ference had disappeared. The super
visor then arranged to have the pre-
clpltators operated on the non-inter-
ference circuit until additional de-
vices could be secured for all circuits
of the Smelter. In the evening the
inspector was able to pick up Los
Angeles and Oakland on a loud speak
er without interference from this
source
En- route to San Francisco. visit
to investigate interference reported
in Superior, Ariz., was made. The
method of absorbing radiated energy
at local smelling plant was changed
so as to absorb all radiation by
screening the discharger with fine
copper mesh and grounding it,
Supervisor Van Nostrand of the
fourth district, found that interfer-
ence from a power line system in Au-
gusta, Ca, was causing considerable
trouble among the radio fans there, and
after continued scouting and work
with a loop receiver, he eliminated
the trouble, which was in the form of
a particularly loud intermittent buzz
After two days and a nights work il
was found that when a certain arc
light was swung by the wind its guy
wire came into contact with a2,30o
volt circuit, which caused the dis
turbing hum or buzz. This difficulty
was also reported as the cause Of
similar interference in Hartford
Conn. In both cases inspection of the
lighting and power circuits failed to
find the difficulty.

Asides From Cleveland Amuse.

Did you hear the funny impromtus
which came via radio from the Cleve-
land convention? Evidently there
was no skilled announcer or operator
standing by, as is always the case
in broadcasting studios, to pull the
switch, or cut out the microphone
when something unforeseen occurs
and side remarks and soto voce
phrases are uttered in the neighbor-
hood of the transmitter
On one occasion a voluntary spokes-
man suggested to Chairman Mondell
that he better put on the quartet or
start something, as many of the dele
gates were walking out" on him.
Another excited voice cried out in
anguish to the chairman that there
was fight going on in one corner,
and asked him If there was no au-
thority to stop it. This was fol-
lowed by the pertinent suggestion
that the band be requested to play

to auell the approaching riot. AL

Convention News From WIZ.

Commencing on Tuesday, station
WIZ will broadcast the Democratic
national convention direct from Madi-

own Western Union remote-control
wire system, with Maj. ]. Andrew

nality in the country, announcing the
proceedings and giving the listeners

While the very nature of the con-

vance impossible, WIZ will follow
the same procedure as used. during
the broadcasting of the Republican
convention, giving the interesting
portions of the proceedings priority
over all other program features. Dur

ability, have no evening sessions.

STATE COMPENSATION
FOR ALL IS FAVORED

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 11.-Of-
ganized labor's proposal that Oregon
adopt compulsory workmen's COM
pensation, under state control, has
aroused the private insurance COM
panies, contract hospital associations
and contract doctors. These exploit
ers of injured workers are attacking
the humane proposal that all profit
be taken out Of workmen's compensa-
ton.
Trade unionists are pointing out
that the cost of operating the Oregon
industrial accident commission, state
institution, is less than 10 per cent.
This includes overhead, and is against
a a. per cent cost of the private in
surance companies.
Under state insurance the workman
has 80 per cent of his insurance
money placed to his credit, and under
the other system he has but Sc per
cent of his money to his credit. In
addition, the state maintains a re-
habilitation hospital for the purpose
Of correcting deformities that result
from injuries without cost to the in
dividual.

LABOR PROGRESS POLICY PROOF
LABOR DAY ADDRESS BY JOHN P FREY AT COLUMBUS OHIO

Wherever trade unionists were gath
cred this first Monday of September
they were celebrating the 40th ami
versary of the day officially set aside
by the American Federation of Labor
in 1884 as Iabor's holiday. Since then
it has become a national holiday
through congressional action, so that
in a broader sense the nation joins
with US.
1t is appropriate that the people, as
a whole, should celebrate this day
with us, for no movement has accom-
plished more for the nations general
welfare than our own. 1t was through
our initiative and efforts that our free
public school system was established
and developed. 1t is due primarily
and principally to our efforts that
children are found in the school room
instead of the shop, the mine and the
factory. It is because of our en-
deavors that their mothers were pro-
tected by necessary laws, So that
when employed in industry their la
Dor would not be permitted to injure
them physically or morally. AS re-

PERSONAL RIGHTS

There are two classes of thought
in this matter Of personal rights.
One class believes that men have
certain rights from the very fact
that they are men; that all states
exist to conserve these rights;
that no state has the power to in
fringe them or take them away.
This is the doctrine Of the Declara-
ton to Independence, the Con-
stitution and the First Amend
ments known as the Bill of
Rights.
The second class holds that men
have no rights except such as they
receive from the state, and what
the state has given, the state can
take away. This Is the doctrine
Of both the imperiaiists and boil
shevists.--The Leader, San Fran

NO BUILDING DEPRESSION
SAYS DEPT. OF COMMERCE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
In view of statements current in
some portions of the press that de-
pressed condition exists in the con-
struction industry, the Department of
Commerce today issued statement
calling attention to the immediate
a year ago. The value of contracts
let in SO states in July, 1924, shows an
increase of 10 per cent over that a
year ago, and the toal contracts let
from January l to the end of July,
1924, also gained 10 per cent over
the same period of 1928. Practically
all classes of construction contri5ut-
ed to the increase, although in vary
ing degree, just as there has been re-
latively greater activity in some cities
and districts than in others.
Residential contracts for July this
year show an increase of 8 per cent
over those of last July; industrial and
commercial building combined show
8 per cent increase; public works and
utility construction 10 per cent in
crease; educational buildings 26 per
cent increase; and miscellaneous, in
cluding hospitals and institutions,
religious and memorial buildings, sud
public buildings, az per cent increase.
Cement shipments from the mills
In July increased II per cent over
the same month last year, and for the
seven months ended July, were Aper
cent higher.
/ Although there was some decres8s
in lumber production during the first
seven months Of the year, orders for
lumber reported by eight leading
associations during the six weeks
ending the middle of August, show
an increase of 20 per cent over the
same period of last year.
There has been some recession in
the cost Of construction. The Depart
ment of Commerce index number for
frame house materials shows = de-
crease in 12 months from 214 to 100,
compared with 1918 as 10C. and for
brick house materials from PIT to
201. Other index numbers show a
decrease in general construction costs
from 222 to 214.
