Communists Ready to Use Great
Radio Station to Flood All
Nations With Red Propaganda

The only station in this country
that could compete with the Red
pirate station would be WGY of
Schenectady, sister station of the one
located in the Ukraine Should the
Russian Reds decide to invade Amer
lea in this manner, there would be a
duel of the air between these two
giant sister stations, with all other
stations standing by helplessly.
Reds Possess Big Advantage
Some idea of the advantage that
the Reds have gained in their pur-
chase of this equipment from the Gen5
eral Electric Company may be had
when it is pointed out that the most
powerful American radio stations
with the exception of WGY, carry less
than one-third as much power as does
the Russian Red station. In this
class are WIZ of Bound Brook, N. j.,
owned by the Radio Corporation of
America; KDKA of Pittsburgh and
KYW of Chicago, both owned by the
Westinghouse Electric Company.
These three stations are equipped for
10000 watts, but seldom use that
much power. VIGIL, owned by the
Chicago Federation of Labor, is oper-
ating with 1900 watts of power but
superpower plant of $4,000 watts
for this station is in prospect.
The only way to prevent the Rus
sian communist station from laying
down its barrage of propaganda in
any country of the world chosen for
attack would be to silence it by blow
ing it up with high explosives from
the ground or by bombing it from the
air, it was pointed out by we'll
known radio engineer. 1t is said that
the Russian soviet government is
maintaining a heavy guard at its
Ukranian radio station to prevent just
such an eventuality.

Chicago.-Organized labor of Chi
cago feels strong resentment against
the sweeping injunction granted by
Federal Judge F. p Shoemaker to
the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Cor
poration against its locked-out en-
ployes October IL. Granting of the
sweeping writ is regarded as a chal-
! lenge thrown at the entire American
labor movement, following as it did
few days after President William
| Green, of the American Federation Of
Labor, had warned the Pennsylvania
politicians and big business interests
that they had better exercise more
caution in their attacks upon organ
lied labor.
That Judge Schoonmaker signed the
writ as prepared by the attorneys for
the coal corporation is regarded here
as revealing the judge as a plant tool
and lackey of the union-hating en-
ployers of Pennsylvania. The part of
the writ providing for the eviction
of the coal miners women and chill
dren from their homes at the begin
| ming of winter is characterized by
many as monstrous A judge who
would affx his signature to such a
document must be devoid of all hu-
man feeling and be -blooded
tyrant at heart, prominent trade
union officer declared.
Fitzpatrick Hits Decision
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, epi-
tomized the feeling of organized labor
of Chicago in reference to this ju-
dicial outrage in the following state
ment prepared for International La
Dor News Service:
"The decision of Judge Schoonmak-
er against the United Mine Workers
in Western Pennsylvania can not be
regarded as decision of an American
court. 1t can only be regarded as
more evidence of our corporation
owned and controlled courts. No free
man would countenance certain por-
tions of such illegal and outlandish
conclusions.
There is no ground upon which or
ganized labor could justify itself if it
sought to defend force and violence
or any other criminal or illegal act.

goes, wanted to purchase a station
of 100000 watts power, but the Gen
eral Electric Company could not OF
would not undertake a job of such
magnitude. A compromise was reach
ed whereby the company built the
Russian communists a duplicate of
Station WGY, for which spot cash
was paid.
The station is now in operation
somewhere in the Ukraine, it is al
legged, and is daily laying down fine
Japanese program throughout the
japanese Empire. All japanese sta
tions are drowned out when the Red
station is on the air, and the Japa-
nese government is frantically and
futilely searching for means of COM
batting this barrage of communist
propaganda.
Protest Lodged With Government
1t is said that the Japanese gov
ernment lodged formal complaint
with the United States government
protesting against the sale of the ra-
dio station equipment to the soviet
government by an American firm, on
the ground that the station was being
used to interfere with the domestic
tranquility of friendly nation. The
character of the reply of the United
States authorities is not known here.
The exact location of the station
in the Ukraine is being carefully
guarded as secret by the Russian
government, it is said, but the United
States navy department, which keeps
a careful watch of such matters, is
supposed to have knowledge of the
spot where the gigantic pirate of the
air is located.
Big Station Pirate of Air
The big Russian station is an out
by international radio law, and can
invade and will invade all countries
at will, disregarding all wave-length
regulations. 1t was only recently that
Russia was barred from representa-
tion at the international radio confer
erence at Washington, where new
regulations pertaining to the air
rights of the various nations were
formulated and wave lengths and call
letters allocated.
Being an outlaw and pirate of the
air, the big bolshevik station can lay
down it's propaganda on any nation
of the world by simply broadcasting
a program in the language and on the
wave length of any country under
fire. Japan is under fire now. Eng
land is said to be the next, with Italy,
France, the United States and Latin
America to follow.
American Stations May Be Drowned
Out
Radio engineers here say that it
would be practical and feasible for
the Red station to drown out all
American stations except one during
the cold weather of the coming winter.
All the bolsheviki need to do is to put

TO RENEW CHILD
LABOR FIGHT

Los Angeles.-OrganiZed labor will
intensity its campaign for the federal
child labor amendment and every
effort will be made to arouse the con-
science of America against the evil
of child slavery.
The A. F. of L. convention made
this declaration in the closing hours
of its annual convention in this city.
The committee exposed the hypoc-
risy of opponents of the federal
amendment who claim it violates
states rights, and that the various
states can remedy the evil. Governors
and other public officials who make
this plea were shown to be just
as active in their opposition to any
state legislation against child labor.
"Child labor has increased in "a out
of 20 large industrial Cities" it was
stated. Eight out of IL states re-
ported increases.
'It is hardly conceivable that in
America, where we pride ourselves on
a sense of fair play and decency that
a campaign marked by misstatements
and vituperation could be conducted
successfully, even temporarily, by op-
ponents of the federal child labor
amendment. In most cases these op-
ponents masquerade as patriots. Yet
in spite of funds at their disposal, in
spite of their propaganda and elab-
crate machinery for spreading mis-
representation, they will fail to keep
the nations childhood in economic
bondage"

TRADE IS MENACED
BY LOW-WACE PLAN

London, England.-A large section
of the British press is backing en-
ployers in d campaign for lower
wages. Trade unionists are asking
how business can improve if the work
ers' purchasing power is reduced.
"These employers openly admit they
can not sell their present output, but
have the insolence to say, Give us
more output and then we will be able
to sell it, but they fail to tell us
where or to whom they will sell, "
says Man and Metal, journal of the
Iron and Steel Trades Confederation.
eve can understand the view of an
individual employer who thinks if he
can get cheap labor he will have an
advantage over competitors, but it is
amazing that the employing class
itself can not see that universal de-
mand for reduced wages will reduce
consumption and make it less possible
to sell.
"Yet these employers think that re-
duced costs at the expense of low
wages and reduced purchasing power
will increase the sale Of their goods"

to the executive council with power to
act.
Mooney Billings Case
In the Mooney Billings case, the
committee recommended that the best
results can be had by allowing the
executive council to use it's judgment
as to the steps to be taken and urged
pointedly that all subordinate bodies
be guided by the council and by that
body only in acting upon requests for
support from other sources.
A uniform insignia to be used by
all labor organizations on Labor Day
will be created by the council, as the
result of resolution adopted by the
convention.

Chicago-That propaganda is meat
and drink to the communists, and that
they will sacrifice all other interests
in order to obtain means and instru-
mentalities to spread their doctrines,
is we'll illustrated by the establish
ment in the Ukraine of one of the two
most powerful radio broadcasting sta
tions in the world, for which the Rus
sian soviet government is alleged to
have paid in the neighborhood of
$1,000,000.
According to the story exclusively
revealed to International Labor News
Service and of which the daily news
papers of the world apparently know
nothing, an agent of the Russian So
Wet government, who pretended that
he was representing private interests,
succeeded in purchasing 100000
watt radio broadcasting apparatus
from the General Electric Company.
Only one other radio station in the
world carries that much power, it is
said. The other station is WGY, own
ed by the General Electric Company,
and located at Schenectady, N. Y.

Daylight RADIO
FOR WOMEN

If outstanding and energetic bust.
ness men would only read the news.
papers a bit more they wouldn't be
led TO make the curious mistakes
they sometimes broadcast to the
world. For instance. today at Hot
Springs. Va, no less a fine citizen
than George F. McClelland. vice
president of the National Broadcast
Company, is telling the annual con.
vention of the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association that
something should be done to bring
about daylight broadcasting for the
benefit of the 81 900, 900 women who
are at home all the time, and need
amusement, and for the $4,000, 900
school children who will soon be on
vacation.
Mr.. McClelland was the man who
put WEAF on the map when it
belonged to the telephone company
and he is one of the most impor-
tant men in the United States in
broadcasting circles-one of the
men who have done much to make
and keep broadcasting standards
high.
And yet-because he doesn't read
even the papers of his own bust
ness-Mr. McClelland tells a group
