The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-12-07

THIS week, Saturday, December
4 II, will witness the dedication Of
VIGIL, "labor's first radio station"
in the United States. 1t is announced
as "a notable event in the history
Of the labor movement"
The station itself has been estab-
lished in one of the huge towers at
the far end Of the Municipal Pier
that juts out into Lake Michigan.
The dedication will be held at the
Ashland Auditorium, the home of
the Street Garments Union.
There should be considerable food
for thought for Chicago's workers in
the presence of Mayor William
Dever at the dedication. 1t was
Mayor Dever's police who beat up
the pickets in the last strike Of the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union, arresting many OF them.
Dever's friends, the bosses judges,
sent the pickets to Jail, and Dever's
friends, the north side jailers, kept
them behind bars, the last of the
prisoners being only recently re-
leased. This has been repeated on
a lesser scale in every industrial
struggle that has taken place in Chi
cago during the time that Dever has
been In ONCE. In Saturdays dedi-
cation, Dever typifles the ruling
class faint that dangerously poisons
the whole organized labor move
ment, tending to paralyze 1t against
effective class action. The Chicago
labor oficialdom invites rather than
fights this pernicious influence.
VIGIL" can only become an ef-
fective publicity medium for the
working class when it develops in
to a labor radio" actually fighting
the battles of the workers. 1t does
not do this at the present time. In
fact, on listening in on the, programs
Of the VIGIL" with its jazz and
din, it is difficult to differentiate be-
tween what 1t has to offer and what
is put on the air by any other broad
casting station. The advertised
Chicago Federation Of Labor Hour"
to $50 o'clock, which is supposed
to be given over to some message
TO the workers, is usually filled in
with music or other attractions. 1t
hardly ever gets beyond the printed
program. 1t is usually dead let
ter. When it is taken advantage of
occasionally, the offerings are not
such as to enthuse any numbers of
workers. e. A. Brabandt, business
representative of the Retail Furni-
ture Salesmen's Union, for instance,
is advertised for a talk at 6 O'Clock,
Thursday, Dec. 8. He is the only
speaker announced for the whole
week. 1t may be taken for granted
that he will not say anything of in
terest beyond the immediate con-
fines Of his own organization, with
the result that the busy housewife,
preparing supper, or the tired work
er returning from the days toll,
win switch on something lively
from one of the other stations.
This does not mean that there are
not messages Of broad interest that
organized labor has ready and eager
for delivery to the broadest masses
of the workers.
But, first Of all, it is necessary to
develop position separate and
apart from that championed by the
dominant ruling class.

RECALL CHICAGO
LABOR TO MENACE:
OF INJUNC T IONS
Delegate Reports New
Writ to Federation


The Chicago Federation of Labor
was remin1sd that there is still an
injunction menace in Chicago when
Ida Rothstein. delegate of the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union reported to the regular meet
ing Of the body on Sunday that an In
junction had been issued against her
union in the case OF small shop in
which strike of dressmakers is be-
ing conducted.
Arrest Two
A business agent and an organizer
were arrested on a trumpet up charge
Of trying to assault the manager Of
the shop, Rice. Turner and Rose at
326 Adams st. The Injunction re-
strains picketing in front OF the pre-
misses, Sister Rothstein also report
cd that the joint board Of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union was in conference with the
bosses Sunday afternoon over new
anlon demands for wage increases and
forty-hour week.
Six Window Washers Die.
Delegate Wills of the Window
Washers Union said that six build
ing service employees had been killed
in the past year due to the fact the
city and state officers had not en-
forced safety laws. He urged that the
federation send a letter to both May.
or Dever and Governor Small calling
attention to the insufficiency of build
ing inspectors and demanding enforce
ment of safety statutes.
A delegate from the Iron Workers
Union said that his organization wait.
cd on the mayor to demand similar
action. The mayor, the brother re-
marked amid applause, was much too
busy entertaining queens to give the
matter his considered judgment De-.
yer also complained about the ex-
pense involved in having building in
spectors on the job.
The newly formed union of city
diagnosticians reported thru their
delegate, NJ. J. Sullivan, that the doc
tors were making a formal demand
OF the board of finance for an in
crease in wages from the present 800
per month to $500 per month and
SIS for the use of their cars for
which they are not remunerated.
Sullivan also assailed the capitalist
press for the slurs it cast on the city
doctors when the fact of their organ
izing into union became news. Lo
cal papers had charged that the dia-
gnosticians were not competent doc
Tors. Sullivan said he and the men,
bers Of the new union were proud to
be part of the organized labor move
ment and that so far as doctoring was
concerned, they could be classed with
the best.
Most of Sundays meeting of the
federation was taken up with the
question of the labor radio station and
full half hour was given over to
listening TO the radio performers sing
jazz songs such as 81 was Happy Be-
cause / Made you Cry" No labor
angle was discernable in the perform
ance. Secretary Ed. Nockels made
plea for support to the radio when
be said that all the large radio sta
lions were coming under the domino
ton OF big interests and that VIGIL
was now the only exception to this
rule In the middle west.

coolidge's Hand Seen.
Attention has been called frequently
to the completely of the Coolidge
packed interstate commerce commits
sion in this anti-union movement. The
commission established rate differen-
tials favorable to the entry of remote
non-union Goals into markets normally
belonging to Illinois miners. Thus the
government has played a role second
only to the wage-cutting tactics Of the
non-union operators.
Warns Against Tactics.
In July, 1925, before the Chicago
Association of Purchasing Agents,
Honold condemned the purchase of
coal from other states as uneconomic.
He said: while you may at the pres
emit time, because of the excessive cost
and unjustifably high freight rates to
which Illinois coal is subjected, be
able to figure an equality of value,
f. o. b. your plant, on outside coal
as compared with the average Illinois
coal, you are still the loser because
you increase thereby the cost of ILL
nois and as result the ultimate cost
of all coal at your plant.
Lessons Purchasing Power.
"ro the extent also that eastern coal
purchases shall take money away from
Illinois mining districts and send it to
eastern .non-union districts" he con-
tinued, "all Illinois business suffers,
since all the large number of supplies
that move to Illinois mines is reduced
The loss is direct and positive. The
payroll disbursement at various ILL
nois mines showed shrinkage in 1924
as compared with 1928 of slightly
more than 20 per cent. In dollars and
cents this amounts to something over
$35,0OO,000."
Still Exists.
The situation described by Honold
still persists Illinois production in
the eight months ended Oct. 81, 1926,
was 3s,724,O51 tons, monthly aver
age of about 4,591,OOO tons or about
half capacity. Honold, who belongs
on the operator side,. condemns the
situation as uneconomic from the
point OF view of Illinois business.
The big purchasers of coal are fol-
lowing the dictates not of good bust
ness but OF the open-shop movement,
which aims at destroying the miners
union.

MELLON ASKED TO DRAFT
BOULDER CANYON BILL

Secretary Mellon has been request
ed by the house irrigation committee
to draft new bill embodying the
treasury's plan for financing con-
struction of the Boulder canyon de-
velopment on the Colorado river.
The request was made by Chair
man Smith, following the committees
receipt of letter from the treasury
secretary, in which the plan of finance
as written in the new Swing-J ohnson
bill. was disapproved.
The Swing-Johnson bill would pro-
vide for a $125,000,0O0 bond issue, 10
be retired from revenues of the Boul-
der canyon project. The treasury
secretary in this letter, expressed
preference for a plan by which pri-
vate capital would finance the project
and held that if congress did decide
on government construction of the
works, the financing should not be
done through federal bond issue but
in the manner in which the treasury
ordinarily finances such government
work.
This was held by some committee
members to mean that the treasury
desired that congress simply appro-
pirate the necessary funds, and leave
the details of the financing to the
treasury. The fact that it is intend
ed to retire the proposed bond issue
from revenues from the project, the
secretary informed the committee,
does not make the financing any cas-
ier.

BELIEVE TOLLESON MAN
MET WITH FOUL PLAY

Mrs. S. T. Piether, wife of the
Tolleson dairy rancher found dead at
his farm Monday morning with four
bullets in his body and George Helm,
hired man at the Piether ranch, were
vigorously questioned last night at
the office of County Attorney Arthur
L. LaPrade who left his sick bed to
take hand in the probe of the MUIR
der of Piether which is proving one
OF the most battling murders in the
criminal annals of the county.
The factory number on the revol-
yer found in the bottom of the irrga-
tion ditch IA feet from where the
rancher's body was found, showed the
firearm to have been purchased in a
pawnshop on West Washington street
last week.
Wien Helm and Mrs. Piether were
taken to the pawn store, the owner
accused Helm of the being the person
to whom he sold the revolver in
volved in the murder case. He said
that Helm closely resembled the man
who bought the gun last week al
though he was not wearing similar
clothes and he spoke better English.
