quests A. F. of l.. organizers tc &C
quaint trade unionists with conditiors
in families Of striking miners in
northern West Virginia. Shoes and
clothing are needed for the women

This, said President Green, will sup
plement the relief work of the United
Mine Workers which is spending
thousands of dollars each month for
food, fuel and shelter Another large

The miners suspended work When
the operators scrapped a three-year
agreement signed at Jacksonville last
year. These operators have doubled
the price Of tier coal since the an
thracite strike and are now using e1-
cry power Of the state and federal
judiciary to smash the miners union

ion
In urging organizers to impress the
situation upon trade unionists, i'resi-
dent Green says:
"There are many wives and
childrenN of striking miners in

suffering for lack of shoes and
clothing. | know of no place in
America wnere the need is great

| A manufacturer Of tubes came to
the rescue, purchasing splendid high
towers-and was rewarded by
having his name mentioned over the
air, just as we do it in America.
Then came the possibility of broad
casting the famous Amsterdam
Symphony Concerts under the
master baton OF Mengleberg-for a
certain sum, to be sure, and the
cost Of the lines-the latter at con-
versational rate. Again the tube
man came to the rescue, with more
thanks to him, discreetly, over the
air. Well, the Dutch are more for
tunate than some of the other Euro
peans-their government left them
alone.
Listeners Unfaxed
In the meanwhile, the listeners are
not taxed. Yet they want Dutch
concerts and programs. and are
willing. to a degree. to pay for
them. In March OF 1924, w. Vogt.
who had cleverly kept the addresses
of all who had written him, got out
a circular which stated very plainly
that those who wanted Dutch pro-
e ans should support the Dutch
'f1tion. Result, $4,000. In January
of 1925 he repeated, more elaborate
ly with humorously illustrated cir
cular of facts, figures and straight
talk which brought back upon the
waters in less than four months
$4,000.
So there's your triple alliance:
The independent broadcasting sta
ton company, the commercial
clients, and the contributing public.
NSF Is waiting for one thing more:
the definite backing OF the govern
ment fixing the rate of taxation for
the listener. or rather, receiving
set owner, and making him pay for
it. At present, only about 10 per
cent pay. And everywhere you see
antennae on the roofs of Dutch
houses.
In fact. so far as taxation Is con-
cerned. the government appointed,
some time ago, a committee to study
the question. This committee re-
ported back, recommending a plan
similar to that of the British Broad
casting Company. The Dutch gov
eminent was about to accept this
recommendation when religion
stepped in, and delayed fulfillment.
Holland is two-thirds Protestant and
one-third Catholic. Respective lead
ers wanted this and that, and plenty
of authority to take active part in
broadcatsing. Resu3-delay Of &C

with us to Amsterdam! The sun was
warm, the shade refreshing. The
sky was blue and the waters of the
canals, dark indigo, reflected on
smooth ripples the reds and bright
colors Of the small freight boats
plying up and down, husband at the
wheel, wife at the wash line. Con-
spicuous antennae perched with
careful regularity over many build
ing. There was a rather huge
aerial over the Royal Palace. The
sixteen-year-old Princess is a radio
fan.
In the offices managers excused
themselves for haste because they
were having election tomorrow" w.
Vogt, studio director Of NSF, Hilver-
sum, invited us to go to the station
that evening, where the biggest po-
litical men of the country were to
address the public. He explained
that the great political difficulty, so
far as the station was concerned, was
to have all the parties represented
there are twenty-five in Holland!
M. Vogt called for us at our hotel
a little after five. Then we had to
go by train some eighteen miles.
1t took nearly an hour. Arriving in
Hilversum we took a taxi to the out
skirts of the pretty town, where a
new factory OF radio receiving sets
was located. We entered the build
ing. Loud speakers in several offices
made audible the concert. The Dutch
orchestra was in the graceful midst
of a South American tango. The
next number was North American
fox trot-''How Do You Do?' They
wound up with Red Hot Mama,
and the Dutch National air. The
orchestra played well, being profess
sional and paid. The single studio
was prettily furnished
Tea Is Served
The young director of the Neither
land Signal Apparatus Works, A.
Dubois, a charming man Of French
descent, but of a family 800 years
in Holland, was at the station on
account of the Importance of the
political speakers. He took us for
an inspection Of the factory where
several men were still at work al
though it was by this time Z
o'clock. The equipment was excel
lent. the building well lighted, the
products, three tube sets and ma
rine transmitters. Returning to
the office of A. Dubois we were
served tea, and the political
speeches via loud speakers.
The Dutch are the most cautious
people imaginable. They develop
new industries slowly but solidly-
like their architecture. They fire.
quently wait to see what others are
doing, and then apply the most suit
able and practical Of foreign dis
cOveries to their own problems.
They are answering the question.
"Who will pay for broadcasting"
in three ways simultaneously now,
and waiting patiently for the firm
support of the government for the
cnnching decision.
In the first place, their own COM
pany owns and operates the station
at Hilversum. The engineer and
operator is an Englishman, a pleas
ant young chap by the name Of G.
w. White. Two years ago, at the
beginning, the antenna was so low
the station was not getting out well.

as far back as November of 1920.
At that time H Idzerda in The
Hague began the broadcast OF phon-
ograph music to stimulate sales Of
sets which he sold. In this same
November Of 1920 another broad
casting station in Amsterdam was
opened.

1t is well. before leaving London,
to reflect upon these facts: The
British Broadcasting Company has
a monopoly on broadcasting In the
British Isles; it's pay roll numbers
SCI names; it owns and operates
twenty stations and one high power
station now going at twenty-five kilo-
watts it has a weekly newspaper
with a circulation Of nearly a mil
lion; it has the definite assurance of
a fixed income by means of taxation
enforced by the government; it is
guided by the powerful personality
of J. G. w. Reith, and it has plans
and ambitions for the future where
in the sky alone is the limit. In
other words, the B. B. c. has be-
come, and means to grow more and
more into a potent factor in the life
of the empire.
The high power station Of the
company was formerly at Chelms-
ford; but that city is not in the
center of England; on the contrary,
1t is on the sea-coast. Since the

Is to furnish programs to all those
listeners who were not directly un-

was considered advantageous to
make a change. For this reason,
Daventry, right in the center Of
England, was selected, and on July

100. And in the meantime null
tiplicity Of interests found them
selves in a position to be envious
of this energetic organization. These
interests did not hesitate to do all in
their power to stir up public opinion
against "the monopoly" However,
these attacks seem to have weak
ened in proportion to the steadfast
growth Of the company.
A great part of the charm expert
enced in this travel-study about
Europe is the sudden change one en-
counters by the simple means of
crossing bit Of water or an invisible
line upon the ground marking the
boundary Of a nation. The change
takes place Immediately: language,
money, appearance, food, general
customs-all changed completely or
modified in varying degrees. OF

WINS FIRST PLACE IN
NATIONAL CONTEST

Arthur Fleming received a
very pleasant surprise on his (?)
birthday Tuesday when he receiv-
ed notice that he had won the
first prize in the national con-
test for commercial designing. ac-
companied by a three-page letter
congratulating him on his SPLEEN
did success.
Nearly everyone in this COM
munity has seen many samples
of Mr.. Jennings work at the big
store where he is employed and
also on handbills. big painted
signs, etc.. and knew that he was
especially clever with the brush
es but even he did not know
how his work would be classed
with the many others in that
line of work.
Several weeks ago he received
a notice of the national contest
put on by the Federal Schools of
Commercial Designing of Minne-
apolis, the notice also containing
the rules and regulations of the
contest. During his odd mo-
ments he filled out the papers
and made up the designs required
and sent them in lust for the
fun of the thing" He had no
expectation of landing a prize in
competition with so many old
men and with those who have
passed through schools of design
ing. therefore, his surprise was
complete when he landed the
highest award which includes
free tuition for a course at that
big school. This is a big honor for
anyone to win and will be worth
a great deal to him in his line
of work in years to come. His
many friends here are glad TO
hear of his success.-Pine County
