RADIO PRANK SPREADS
FAMILY CONVERSATIONS
Hungarians Rush to Get Sets to
Listen to Intimate Affairs
of Their Neighbors.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
VIENNA, October 3O.-Queer pranks
OF the Hungarian radio broadcasting
station have caused a rush Of new
subscribers. who want to pay month
ly fee to the monopoly company for
the privilege of installing receiving
sets in order that they may listen in
on the strangest of programs.
Due perhaps to the kind of receivers
used in Budapest, sweeps Of bsckfre
from receivers result in spreading fam.
lily conversations to all who happen to
be listening in. Neighbors recognize
the voices and. knowing the principals
in the family row. listen with zest to
quarrels and intimate gossip.
Dull market reports and other set
features are varied with the inside
story of why Mrs. Fogos left home
what Mrs. A thinks OF Mrs. b and
how long Admiral Horthy will re.

THERE are over a million miners on
4 strike. They constitute one-eighth
Of the British working class. The
fight they are making is the fight
of the whole British working class
against having tho losses of decaying
British industry paid by the workers
thru cuts in their wages and length
ening Of their hours--thru reduction
in their standard of life.
British industry has not recovered
from the blows which the capitalist
system received in the imperialist
war British industry has lost its
dominant position in the world mar
ket. 1t is unable to compete success
fully with its more powerful rival
the United States. 1t is on a down
ward path.
THE capitalist employers Of Great
l. Britain are trying to find a solu,
ton of this situation by cutting down
the standard Of life Of the workers,
That Is the real meaning Of the pres
ent struggle in Great Britain.
1t was because the British workers
realized that this was the situation
that they rallied to the support OF the
miners In the general strike. Their
splendid demonstration OF solidarity
was betrayed by the general council
Of the Trade Union Congress, which
called off the general strike, leaving
the miners to fight alone. In this be
trayal the left leaders like Purcell
Joined with the Thomases OF the right
Only the Minority Movement and the
Communists stood for a solid front IN
support of the miners.
NIIE miners are now fighting the
L battle OF the whole British working
class. Their victory will retrieve
some of the losses suffered by the
trade union movement thru the
cowardly betrayal by the genera
council OF the general strike. Defeal
OF the miners will be followed by .
general onslaught on the standard o.
