Radio Commission
Knocks Out Rivals
To Its MonopO|ies

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Swing
ing the axe on small radio stations
ostensibly to clear the important 600
1000 channel of the broadcasting
bands from heretodyne interference,
the federal radio commission today
had changed the wave lengths, power
and operating time of nearly 100
broadcasters.
Twenty-Five of the SO wave chan
nels in this band will be cleared of
interference by December l Under the
commissions plan. Except in a few
instances no two stations authorized
to use more than 1000 watts power
will be in simultaneous operation on
the same channel. Stations with
power of $500 watts and greater are
being paired as a rule with 500 watt
stations and even these are in widely
separated localities. The favored sta
tions thus secure valuable monopolies.
They are all politically reliable"
Other stations which are oper-
ating on bands used by the 10000 and
$4,000 watt broadcasters, of which
there are four - KDKA, WGY,
WEAF, and WJZ-are paired, one on
the Atlantic and one on the Pacific
Coast. The large stations are oper-
ated by the General Electric, Radio
Corporation, and Westinghouse.
In the 6OO-1OO kilocvcle hand four
of the cleared channels are shared
with Canadian stations, of the IL un-
cleared channels two are shared with
Canada. Officials said that steps will
be taken at once to improve conditions
in the remaining II channels.

tuberculosis Increases
Among Toiling Women
(By Federated Press }

A stratling increase in. the tuber-
culosis death rate of young women
and girls is blamed by New York
State Health Commissioner Nicoll
largely on the conditions of women
in industry. DR.. Mathis Nicoll, Jr.,
says the death rate for white men
from Is to "a years of age has de-
creased four. times as fast as the
rate for women of that age. The
death rate from pulmonary tuber-
culosis for boys of Is to 20 decreased
10 times as fast as it did for girls
from 1915-24.
Young women workers are forced
to spend long hours indoors in fac
tory or office, often with poor venti.
lation, Nicol' quotes from an investi.
gator. They must strain and speed
up in the competition to hold their
Jobs and increase earnings. Nicoll
recommends eight hours or more
sleep for young women workers and
man-size meals, with exercise out Of
doors!

Coolidge Anxious to
Prevent Any Increase
Of Government Owning

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (FP).-
Not only in his Philadelphia speech
of November II but in a White House
conference on November Is. Presi-
dent Coolidge's hostility to public
ownership and operation of any
profit-making enterprise was voiced.
Inasmuch as giant power develop
ment is the big economic issue before
Congress this year, his speech is con-
strued as notice to the country that
he line UP with the power trust for
its program at Muscle Shoals and
Boulder Canyon.
This announcement of policy is ex-
tended to cover the government barge
lines of the upper and lower Missis-
sippi and the proposed one on the
Missouri river. Coolidge holds these
to be experimental lines--to be hand
ed over to privte parties as soon as
they prove profitable, or to be dis
continued if they do not make money.

Million New Voters

An elaborate drive, involving the

to train young men and women "in

maintenance of the established order
will be launched by the National Civic
Federation, John Hayes Hammond
head of that organization, has an

The campaign will be organized in
500 cities with view to influencing
the votes of 100000 young people
who expected to cast their first votes
at the 1928 presidential election.
The Federation plans to accomplish
this task through the medium of such
militaristic youth organizations as the
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Ham
mond's announcement said
Not only will the young people be
approached, according to Hammond
but committees will communicate
their influence on "the proper use of
the ballot" to adults through per-

method.

May Be No Tax Cut for
Middle Class

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Secre-
tary MELONS proposal for reduction
in surtaxes on incomes ranging be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, designed
to gain the support of the middle
class, is meeting with considerable
difficulty. The proposed cut in the
corporation tax from 1875 to II per
cent, now under consideration by the
Ways and Means Committee will
probably paralyze MELONS proposal.
Despite the prosperity Coolidge
talks so much about, the slowing up
in industry added to the proposed cut
in the corporation tax, will reduce the
tax returns to such a degree that
they will probably be insufficient to
take care of the nations needs.

declare under the customary copy
right:
Though this document is but
one of seventeen published by the
American thus far, it constitutes by
itself documentary proof that the
Mexican government not only sup
ported the Sacasa revolution in
Nicaragua once it was going but
actually helped organize and fl
nance it. In the document the spe-
cific statement was made by Gales
that the money was to be used for
the purchase of arms and NUM-
tons for the liberal army of Mica
ragua."
Mexico Knew of Document.
That Mexico knew of the existence
of such a series of documents" and
considered their forgery so crude that
they were harmless is evident Ky the
statement of the Mexico City foreign
office that one DR.. Cutberto Hidalgo
on August "a last, offered the same
documents to the Mexican consul at
Los Angeles for the sum of $4,000.
This attempt at blackmail having
failed, the agent for the forgers tried
to peddle them in Mexico City to
American news agencies for various
sums. Nothing more was heard of
them until they began to appear in
the Hearst chain of papers as "au-
thentic documents" But the princi-
pal authentic document" which the
Hearst paper says "by itself" consti-
tutes proof of the Hearst contentious,
appears this time with the same era
sure and alteration.
Crude Diplomacy"
Even without the absolute proof
furnished by The DAILY WORKER
on Saturday that the first document
published by the Hearst paper was al
tered in the office of the New York
American and that three different
versions Of the date of the alleged
secret" paper, were published in
three different editions of the Hearst
sheet for Monday, the thing is plain
fraud on the face of it.
For instance no one can possibly be-
lieve that if Gales issued an order on
the Mexican treasury for sum of
money to be used for secret expendi-
lures he would have to specify its
purposes in the order. Everyone at
all familiar with the secret expendi-
lures of governments know that such
appropriations are made for alleged
legitimate purposes, that can be re-
vealed at any time, and which always
appear to be regular"
Another Of the documents speci-
fies that a certain amount is to be
set aside for propaganda expenses in
favor of Mexico" Still another calls
for funds for "secret expenditures of
the executive" while the mysterious
Bolshevist propagandist, Pablo Palo-
vichi, of whom no one either in Rus
sia or Mexico has ever heard, is paid
the sum of $25,00O "for Communist
propaganda expenses directed by Mr.
A. B., secretary of the Russian Lega-
tion in Mexico" 1t seems that the
president of Mexico had to inform his
treasurer of precisely all the details
of the expenditure of every peso!
More Forgery Proof.
1t is plain to anyone that the is
suance of such orders, specifying in
detail the purposes for which money
was to be expended, could not be any
stretch of the imagination, be advan-

Asks for Investigation.
I'm Federated Press, }

First indications of organized la
boris defense arguments against the
Interborough Rapid Transit Co. in
junction come in the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees appeal to the New
York Transit Commission.
The anion asks tie tranact body to
investigate the subway operators
spying system. The l. R. T. operates
the city-owned subway and charges
the city for the expense of its labor
spies against union labor, the Anal
gamated states. The spies are kept
to protect the Interborough's COM
pany union, which it maintains for
a higher fare fight, declares Anal
gamated Organizer James Coleman.
Counter charges of conspiracy will
be filed against the l. R. 7. by the
Amalgamated and the American
Federation Of Labor, named in the
subway company's long complaint.
The Interborough complains that the
A. F. of L. and specific union Off
cials, including President William
Green, conspired and combined il
legally against company unions. The
unionists will probably show the l.
R. T. conspiring against the public.
