Be ON AIR SOON
Will Make Fight for
Gree Speech on Air"

| the report maze Dy secretary huWaru
Nockels to the delegation of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor.
To Be Completed Soon.
This station has been under con-
struction for some time. 1t is be-
lieved that the station will soon be
completed and ready to go on the
air. AS soon as the station is COM
pleted an application will be made
for wave-length.
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover in number of letters to the
Chicago Federation of Labor has de-
clared his unwillingness to grant this
labor radio station wave-length and
intimated that it would be useless for
the Chicago Federation of Labor to
try to get wave-length.
To Fight Hoover.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
has secured the services of Frank P.
Walsh to aid it in getting a wave
length. AS soon as an application is
made by the local authorities it is
planned to have a delegation go to
Washington and attempt to get the
permit from Hoover If the delega-
ton fails in it's mission the Chicago
Federation of Labor will go on the
air without a wave-length and make
test case of free speech on the
air"
Eucharist Congress.
A resolution greeting the medieval
revival that is being staged by the
Catholic church in Chicago was then
presented by Delegate Edwin Wright,
who boasts Of membership in the
Typographical Union No. 16 but fails
to mention that this union has re-
fused to send him as a delegate to
the Federation and that he represents
small Brickmakers' Union local.
Wright in a resolution filled with
vagaries and absurdities called on the
delegates to endorse the Eucharistic
Congress.
Endorse Medieval Revival.
The XVIII Eucharistic Congress,
tempt to revive the superstition and
the ignorance which made possible
the medieval inquisition. The reso-
luton was adopted by p small major
ity.
A number Of delegates present we're
SO disguised with the nature of the
resolution that they refused to par
ticipate in the voting. These dele.
gates by acting in this manner aided
those who sought to get the Chicago
Federation OF Labor on record as en-
dorsing the Eucharistic Congress
which is an attempt to bring the pres
ent-day workers back into the middle
ages, when labor organizations were
prohibited and to join any associa-
ton to better conditions was con-
sidered crime.
A motion made to table the resolu-
ton was defeated by vote of 50 to rs.
The resolution was then put and car
ried due to the failure of a number
Of delegates to vote against this re-
dictionary proposal
Delegate Madsen Of Painters Local
No. 1914 Immediately arose and &C.
cused President John Fitzpatrick of
trying to jam the resolution thru
without a proper discussion.
Victor Olander gave an eulogy of
the Eucharistic Congress which in
its tone equalled the absurd resolu.
ton of Edwin r. Wright.
Cooks Picket Manages Restaurant.
A delegate from Local S65 of the
Cooks and Pastry Cooks Union then
told how Judge Hugo M. Friend is
sued an injunction against their un-
ion in behalf of the Greek Restaurant
Keepers Association. This injunc-
ton prohibits the union from picket
ing restaurants belonging to the asso-
citation. The injunction was issued
without either of the two parties be-
ing present to present their cases.
A picket line is being maintained by
the union at the Manages restaurant,
Morgan and 14th Place.
Painters Boycott Borden-s Milk.
| Delegate Arnold, representing the
Painters, reported that letters had
been sent to 1000 union painters
by the Painters district council, urg-
ing them not to buy Borden's milk
as this company is using non-union
painters to paint their barns and re-
fuses to hire union workers. He also
brought out that an appeal had been
made to the Milk Drivers Union for
aid in their fight against the milk
company but that as yet no response
had been received from the Milk
Drivers Union.
Garment Union Protest.
Delegate Ida Rothstein from one OF
the international Ladies' Garment
Workers locals announced that the
Chicago Joint board of the Interna,
tional Ladies' Garment Workers I'M
ion had arranged a mass protest
meeting against the failing OF the
garment workers and called on the
