WARNS Of AIR
CENSORSHIP

Warning that regulations must
be adopted to guard against "a
dangerous and insidious censorship
of the airs was given to the Fed
eral Radio Commission today by
Morris L. Ernst, OF the American
Civil Liberties Union, of New York.
Ernst sought a ruling which
would give equal opportunity Of
speech to political candidates. I'm
less further regulations are adopted,
he contended, candidates practically
viii be barred from the air.
He cited long list OF censorships
by broadcasters. In. New York,
Ernst said, there is station at
which no Protestant can talk on
religion; others bar Catholics, and
certain political views may not be
disseminated at some of the sta
tions. Ernst said that Hudson
Maxim, the inventor, was permitted
to speak to a dead microphone'
for one hour and that Norman
Thomas, New York Socialist, was
not permitted to speak.
A drastic reduction in the num-
Der OF, stations was advocated by
Alfred E. Waller, OF the National
Electric Manufacturers Association,
who said that less than 200 broad.
casters should be on the air.
Waller declared that stations
which Jump their wave lengths
and did. not abide by the gentle
mans agreement OF the last Hoover
radio conference should be barred
and only those be given licenses who
furnished satisfactory programs and
perform public service.

YELLOW DOG" PLAN.
FACES new ATTACK

Philadelphia.-A campaign against
the yellow dog" contract was launch
ed by the convention of the American
Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers.
Delegates said that detective agen-
cies and notorious strikebreakers aid
employers in establishing this alleged
contract, which binds workers not to
join the trade union of ther craft.
William Smith, general secretary
treasurer of the hosiery workers,
pointed out that the yellow dog" has
been held to be a, legitimate contract
by the United States supreme court.
This decision, made in December,
1917, was in the case of the Hitchman
Coal Company which secured an in
junction against union miners from
inducing employees of the coal COM
pany from violating" their yellow
dog by joining the union.

delicate that these Senators are no

stead, every effort is being made to
lure them into the administration
camp
These Senators were classed as en-
emies of government in previous ses-
sions of Congress, when their votes

one COMFORTING strictly with the well
fare of the Amalgamated itself"
The conventions action presages a
determined struggle in the A. F. of
l.. convention in Los Angeles to pre-
vent further development of quarrel,
which observers believe threatens SER
ious damage to the general labor
movement.
For IL years this purisdictional dis
pute has ragged between the Machin-
lists Association and the street car
mems union over the right to 10000
jobs, now held by members of the
Amalgamated The A. F.. of l.. has
sought in divers ways to bring about
employees of car barns and street car
stations who do minor repair work on
settlement. The men involved are
street cars and busses.
Two Problems Solved
Two jurisdictional problems have
been solved at this convention of the
Amalgamated, both affecting the Bos-
ton division. Fifty employees of the
Boston transit lines were turned over
to the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers, and five to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers.
The convention adopted resolution
calling upon President George L.
Berry of the international Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants Union to
stand as candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination in 1928.

Judge Makes Notifications
In Drastic Injunction Writ
Against Striking Coal Miners

By International Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind.-Officials of the
United Mine workers of America have
been advised that notifications have
been made in the injunction granted
Eastern Ohio operators against the
district officials, local unions and in
dividuals of District 6. The decision
was made by Judge Hough of the
United States District Court in ses-
sion at Steubenville, Ohio. The ori-
ginal order was sweeping in its pro-
visions and prevented the miners from
in any way interfering" with the
conduct of the strike Pickets were
prohibited from approaching within
1,2O0 yards of any mine property.
They were not allowed to accost any
non-union employe of the company or
display any signs or circulars among
them.
At the hearing the question of re-
placing the restraining order with a
preliminary injunction was gone into.
Lee Hall, president Of District 6, and
numerous other officers and members
of the union were called to testify,
and showed that many of the acts com

Under the new order the court made
several notifications. He ruled that
only American citizens who speak
English shall act as pickets. Three
pickets are allowed at each post, and
posts are permitted to be 700 yards
apart instead of 1900 One post is
allowed to be not less than 100 feet

unions endeavor to settle griev-
ances by conciliation, if possible, re-
sorting to arbitration only when con-
ciliation fails" the pamphlet states.
"The grievance is handled first by
the employe affected and his foreman,
and then by succeeding higher Off
cials or committees of the union and
of the employer
The eight hour day is generally OBJ
served, and the 44-hour week is the
rule in several trades, notably build
ing, clothing, longshoremen, metal,
stone and to certain extent in the
printing trades, the pamphlet states
The agreements show that overtime
is opposed by the unions, and that
many provisions are made to reduce
extra labor Overtime rates vary
from time and one-half to triple time.
Agreements usually state the mini
mum wage rate. Although a higher
rate is permitted and often paid, the
lowering of an existing higher wage
to the minimum rate is forbidden in
some agreements. Many agreements
contain apprenticeship provisions.
Unemployment, seniority, sanitary
conditions and union label products
are among those matters that are
also covered
