The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-03

TINE British labor takers know very
l. we'll that nations don't fight each
other because their population came
of different racial strains. The
reigning families of Russia, Germany
and England were of the same breed
but that fact did not prevent the cap
italists of the different countries from
lighting over foreign markets and
spheres of influence. There is no.
thing surer than that the United
States and Britain will fight for the
hegemony of the industrial world; a
hegemony which is already captured
by the United States, but is not con-
coded by the jealous pirates of the
tight little isle"
THE millions of citizens of German
L and Irish descent in the United
States did not prevent this country
from declaring war on Germany in
1917, when Germany had beaten her
foes to a FRAGILE and when the sur
render of France was but a question

CHM CALL GENERAL STRIKE
AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

A N Indian delegate to the labor con-
ference Of the league of nations
at Geneva took issue with the Brit
ish government delegate on the ques-
ton of labor conditions in India. The
Briton defended the empires rule in
India and claimed that the Hindoos
were being taken good care of. by j.
Bull. The Indian, on the contrary,
declared that his people were slaves,
living under a forced labor system
which compels the workers to live in
a living standard bordering on star
walton. He wanted to know what the
labor bureau intended to do about it.
Any one of you could tell him.
TT is the custom in England for pro-
L minent politicians to make week
end speeches during which current
events are discussed. The leaders of
the British labor party indulge in
this relaxation 1t is interesting to
note that in the great majority of
cases the speeches of the labor party
leaders do not differ materially on
imperial policy from those of the
liberals and tories.

A FENNER BROCKWAY, general
~ secretary Of the Independent la
Dor party speaking in favor of univer-
sal disarmament, said mo nation would
ever again seek a quarrel with the
Anglo-Saxon race or any part of it"
This is sheer nonsense. The fact
that daughters of American million
aires have a penchant for marrying
brokendown British aristocrats and
that socially the British monarchy is
a god-send to our female parasites of
the upper classes, is no prevention Of
war between the two Anglo-Saxon
countries" They have fought more
than one war in the past, on opposite
sides of the painted bunting, at times
when both were much more Anglo
Saxon than they are now.

The practice of carefully setting

the Bay of Rio de Janeiro. The Rio
plant is equipped with TelefunlIen APP
paratus. havingfi a normal estimated
range of 4.500 miles. An effort will

radio stations in the United States.
A population of $4,000 900 persons

new 25-kilowatt British broadcasting
station at Daventry, according TO an
estimate received here. With this

member that it is better to have a
poor aerial with safety than a good
one with the danger of electrocution
either while putting it up or after

If you do not know the character of

Cross Wires Carefully.

In spite of the many warnings
that are to be found along the high
ways, cautioning motorists to cross
railroad crossings carefully, thou
sands of persons are killed each year,
simply because they will not heed
these warnings.
While the number of fatalities in
radio does not by any means come
any where near the total of automo-
bile accident a word of warning
given at frequent intervals will help
to prevent such accidents from oc-
curing. There is nothing that will
make a motorist think more than to
see an automobile accident with all
it's wreckage or to hear accounts of
similar accidents in the papers.
Following the same. line of logic
there is nothing that will make
radio fan stop and think more than
the account OF actual accidents which
have happened as a result of not
following the words of warning OF
those who know the dangers lurking
in high tension power lines.
Warnings to Fans.
These warnings are not given with
out reason. High tension lines are
dangerous and should not under any
circumstances be taken lightly.
Only a short time ago. August to
be exact, the following headline APP
peared in one of the largest of New
York newspapers Two Electrocuted
StripginG Radio Aerial" "Rescuer
dies as live wire kills friends" These
are lines that will make the average
radio fan think twice before he tries
TO string an aerial either over or
under electric power lines. The ac-
count goes on to tell how Harold
NeWland, aged %, of Stamford, Conn.
and Cyril Barrett, IS, were setting
up a radio installation for NeWland S
home. They were Stringing the aerial
from the house TO a tree some dis
tance away. Newland tied a stone
to one end of the aerial wire and
threw the rock over the service line
which ran between the tree and the
house.
Barrett. on the other side of the
service wire, picked up the wire as the
stone carried it over the service line.
The young men did not know the dan
ger else they would not have thrown
| the wire over the service line, which
carried $500 volts. A blaze of flame
leaped from Barrett's hand as he
touched the wire and he screamed in
terror. He could not let go Of the
highly charged wire, although the
heavy charge was burning up his
hand. Newland rushed over to aid
him without realizing his own danger.
As he grabbed Barrett TO pull him
away from the wire, the current pass

An eX-policeman. Stanley Herzog,
came running up, but, knowing that
any attempt to try TO pull the wire

result in his own electrocution, he
whipped out his revolver and tried

the source OF power by cutting the
wire with bullets from his revolver.
This attempt failing he telephoned
the power company to shut off the
current. The current was shut off
but too late to save the lives of the
