RADIO AUDIENCE
GOES ON STRIKE
Chicago Listeners Refuse to
Tune-In on Air Pirates and
Wave Jumpers.

BY ,he Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 25.-A strike
that does not have the pickets or
the other embellishments considered
proper in such matters continues in
effect in Chicago. 1t has been run
ming since the Department Of Com
merce at Washington announced that
the radio law of 1912 did not permit
It's control Of broadcasting.
The walk out" really is one in name
only, for the striker stays at home
and refuses to listen. That is. he
turns a deaf ear to those broadcast
ing stations he considers unfair" to
his interests
Association Backs Move.
Backing the move is the Broadca at
Listeners Association, through whose
efforts a previous strike for a gen
eral silent night" in the Chica go
area was successfully conducted Be.
fore this walk-Out only part Of the
local stations adhered to gentle
mans agreement" to remain off the
air each Monday night. so that re-
ceiver owners could grOpe for dis.
lance.
The associations latest drive is
directed against what ii terms as AIR
pirate ana wave jumpers. 1T CON
tends that new broadcast transmit.
ters which come ON the air in its
present crowded condition. and those
which select wave lengths other than
those to which they originally were
assigned by the Department of Com.
merce are unfair" and urges its
members to pass them over when they
are turning their dials.
Plan National Drive.
In addition to affecting Chicago
stations. the association has stated
that its movement is nationwide and
that listeners all over the country
are joining in the effort to keep the
air free of congestion. The B. L. A.
also is taking upon itself the task of
warning stations which stray about
on the air. advising them that their
listeners will decrease in number as
result.
Response to the strike has been
large. the association officials said to-
day. adding that the drive will be
continued until more stable conditions
prevail, or until Congress enacts a
law governing the situation.

rs THRONE THREATENED

Is Great Britain headed toward boshevism, fas-
cism, socialism or any other ism menacing to the
throne?
To answer that question you must know the
answer to another: Is England about to be plunged
into civil war Premier Baldwin fears is possible
Communism has chance in Britain only If there
is war, chaos, hunger and misery throughout the
country. This is only a chance For what happened
in Italy, when it looked as If the reds might seize
the power could happen in Britain.
In other words If and when confronted by COM
munism, the British could and probably would pro-
duce opposing black shirts and Mussolin to lead
them. Thus fascism communism's antidote, rather
than communism itself, might well grow out of the
sun
Anyway communism in Britain is apt to be
greatly overestimated. Last October at the Liver
pool conference of the labor party, 1000 delegates
representing 100000 men, voted on a resolution
to permit British communists to affiliate with them
The vote was no by vote of ten to one That gives
a fair idea how strong they are among the workers
of the British Isles
That Britain might become socialist state
however is well within the possibilities If the fact
if the strikers win, that is probably what will happen
But in that case the crown would be pretty safe Be-
cause the group of men headed by Ramsay Mac
Donald would probably stage a comeback.
"a socialist state" Macdonald sees it. sis
a state based upon democratic institutions aiming
at the cooperative organization the classes for
the common good and achieved by progressive parlia
mentary action" In short naturalization of mines
railways and what-not, by ballots instead of bullets
Nothing very menacing to the throne in that
Indeed, Macdonald has already tried his hand at
running the British empire and through Tory die

ADVERTISING INDIANA

How does the triumph of Senator Watson look
to the rest of the Nation?
Well, get credit for furnishing burlesque to
the national stage
There is advertisement of sort, if you like
that sort of advertising.
One Of the great papers of the East known for
its independence and its keen insight into men and
matters at Washington has this to say of Watson
and his nomination:
Let no tears be shed because of the overwhelm-
ing victory of Senator Watson in the Republican pri-
mary in Indiana. True, a statesman, Jim is small
potatoes few in row-and also very watery. His
mental horizon never has and never will reach be-
yond the ballot box and his performance never will
be above that Of the lightning change artist. The
one interest in the whole wide world that really en-
cages him is that of retaining his seat in the Senate
and of dreaming absurdly of the presidency Still,
what would you-from Indiana, in these days of the
KuKlux Khan?
rs it to be supposed that anybody else concev-
able as the nominee would have been more Of the
statesman than Jim? Is not the tone of that State
in these days such that the man who can foster an
antiKlan investigation of the election to the Senate
of Mayfeld of Texas and them after the Khan sweeps
Indiana, turn about and foster Mayfeld-is not the
tone of Indiana such in these days that this kind of
man tips the pinnacle of Hoosier aspiration? What
hope was these that statesman would be nominated
for Senator? Was not the real question whether we
should lose prime entertainer?
