SENATOR KINGS PLEA
DELAYS RADIO CONTROL
Objections to "Hoover Tinge" and
Other Provisions Cause Post
ponement of Action.

A snag was struck in the Senate
Tuesday when Senator Dill sought to
obtain consideration of the new radio
control measure, already passed by
the House, and Senator King asked
for delay on the conference report be-
cause of objections to certain provi-
sionS in the bill.
The objections were not aired at
once, and Senator Kings only eXpla-
nation on the floor was that he and
several other Senators opposed the
bill as now written and would discuss
it later.
Senator King later said that he did
not like the Hoover tinge" to the
measure, referring to the fact that
the Federal Radio Commissions juris-
diction passes on to the Secretary of
Commerce after one year. Neither did
he like the ''monopolistic tendencies"
in the bill nor the possibility of a
charge on listeners in the form of a
special receiving device such as was
described in the House when the bill
was up for passage there.
But Senator King recognized the
urgent need for some form of radio
legislation, and he agreed that supple
mental legislation may obviate big
interest" monopoly of broadcasting or
the levying of listening fee, as well
as Hoover control" On the latter
score ne was particularly emphatic.

MINERS STAND PAT
AGAINST WAGE CUT
Conference Names Commit
tee to Negotiate New Agree
ment and AdjournS.
By the Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February 3.
Declaring against a reduction in
wages for the bituminous coal miners,
the United Mine Workers of America
yesterday adjourned it's biennial con-
vention after empowering a central
competitive field scale committee TO
negotiate for a new contract. The
convention had been in session since
January rs. This committee meets
with the operators of Illinois. Indiana.
Ohio and western Pennsylvania at
Miami, Fla, February IA.
The report of a convention scale
committee. which became the instruc-
tons of the delegates, representing
100000 miners, when they adopted 1t
without change, gives the miners rep
resentatives broad latitude in making
an agreement.
Wage Minimum Fixed.
They are not to go under the wage
fixed by the Jacksonville agreement
Of three years ago. which expires
March 81.
In addition to the 35 members of
the scale cOmmittee-eight from each
State of the central field and the
union president. vice president and
secretary-there will also go to Miami
three representatives from each of
the 29 districts outside the central and
the 20 members of the executive board.
A final tilt between John l.. Lewis,
president. and his chief opponent,
John Brophy of Clearfield, Pa, presi-
dent of district No. 2. occurred during
the wage deliberations. Brophy had
urged the convention to instruct the
scale committee to insist that any
contract govern non-union property
of companies signing for their union
mines.
Lewis ridiculed this and asserted
Brophy was a traitor" for reading a
Bureau of Mines report, which SAID
more than 20 per cent of soft coal
was mined by non-uniOn workmen.
The miners at this convention took
the final steps in a campaign of sew
eral years to eliminate radicalism
from their ranks. The constitution
was amended, giving the executive
board power to expel any member
affiliated with the Communist party.
