Radio Commission Still
Making Air Safe for Its
Pets Granted MOnopolias

The Federal Radio Commission
is preparing to force 800 broad
casting concerns out of the radio
field. In the recent international
Wireless Conference, Secretary
Herbert c. Hoover put over a pro-
gram designed to keep radio broad
casting control in the hands of
private organizations rather than
exclusive governmental control.
Hoover also attempted to crowd
South American countries out by
leaving them the least desirable
wave lengths. Now the commission
is completing the program by
crowding out the small concerns.
According to o. H. Caldwell,
Commissioner of the New York
area, this will be accomplished by
discontinuing 300 licenses which
were issued Dec. 1st for sixty
day period. Caldwell felt certain
that the Supreme court would sup
port this action.

Rakovsky be if at a Party Congress
he declared he would not defend the
Soviet Union against the bourgeoisie :?
The Opposition here declared that
they would fight to defend the Soviet
Union, but the numerous documents
prove that the Opposition's work is
directed not. in Strengthening, but
rather in weakening the Soviet Union.
The declaration handed in by the OPP
position is the most hypocritical so
far issued"
Continuing, Rudsatuk declared that
'the Opposition wants to frighten the
Party with the danger of schism, but
it forgets that if 400 intellectuals are
expelled from the Party it means not
a schism, but cleansing the Party.
Wants Full Disarmament.
During the evening session decla-
rations were made by Kamenev and
Evdolimov which showed that they
were abandoning the point of view
of the Opposition. In reply, Rykov,
amidst stormy applause, declared
that the Party demands full ideo-
logical disarmament of the Opposi-
ton.

Conference Called for

"e CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 7. The
Pennsylvania Ohio Miners Relief
Committee is issuing call for a con-
ference to all working class organi-
cations in these states, for the pur-
pose of devising plans to relieve the
striking miners in Eastern Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania. The confer
ence will be held Tuesday evening,
Dec 10 at 312 e. Superior Ave., on
the fourth floor.
Miners Face Hardships.
The committee feels that the min
ers, who have been subjected to evic-
tions, terrorism and even murder,
must not be weakened by hunger.
Thousands of miners and their fam
lilies will be forced to face the bitter
cold this winter, and the Relief or
ganization will make every attempt to
lessen the suffering. Sympathetic
working class organizations are urged
to cooperate by sending delegates to
the convention.

Especial Gable to The DAILY
WORK ERR.

MOSCOW, u. S. S. R., Dec. e.
Yesterdays session of the Fifteenth
Congress of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union showed the whole
congress as one man behind the Cen
trail Committee of the Party, unani-
mously approving its feminist policy.
All the speakers emphasized the fact
that the Opposition must be lioui-
dated in the interest of further social
ist construction.
Opposition Splits With Workers.
The keynote of the congress was
expressed when Krupskaya declared:
The main cause of all the mistakes
of the Opposition is that they no
longer feel the needs of the working
class. A number of elements have
joined the Opposition and thus have
brot it to an abyss. There can be no
treaty relations with the Opposition"
Some See Error.
Declaring that in the ranks of the
Opposition are many individuals who
already have perceived its mistakes.
krupskaya said that it at the same
time contains many who are using it
IN order to carry on their activities
which are hostile to the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union.
War Danger.
"Rakovsky has declared, as the OPP
position has already said in the plen-
airy session of the Central committee
in August, that it will in the event
Of danger of war, defend the Soviet
Union conditionaliy under the pres
ent leadership of the Communist
Party and the Communist Interna-
tional. In the field of international
policy the Party has made many mis-
takes. The Party underestimate the
policy of the world bourgeoisie aim
ing at the full isolation of the Soviet
Union. On the other hand it over
estimated the sympathies Of the toll
ing masses" Krupskaya said.
Rudzatuk, amidst loud applause,
declared, "Rakovsky's speech reflects
his petty bourgeois conception. He is
now speaking of the danger from
abroad; but quite recently we heard
the Opposition say that the greatest
danger was the Party regime.
Rakovsky's statement that the Oppo-
sition is willing to defend the Soviet
Union in the event of war danger is
simply laughable.

Gigantic Cotton Trust
Forming Among Southern
Mills; $50 Going in 1t

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec. T.
1t was announced today that a fl
nancing or holding company was
securing options on $50 carded cot
ton spinning mills in five southern
states. Mills using a total of
100000 spindles have already
been inspected. The options will
run for five months, and the list
will be complete within two weeks.
The result, before the five months
end, will be gigantic southern
cotton mill trust.
The head Of the holding COM
pany said that the company was
rather reluctant to discuss the
plans, as this matter has been kept
quiet in the interest of the mills
and the yarn business in general
and it is regretted that the plans
have been given premature pub
licity since the mills themselves
have been trying to keep it quiet"
