TALKING
Through Radio Is Classed
AS Commerce

Washington.-Rad broadcasting
constitutes interstate commerce, ac-
cording to ruling by the Federal Ra-
dio Commission.
The commission stated that whether
broadcasting be interstate commerce
or not, 1T is clear that even the
smallest broadcasting station does, or
may, interfere with interstate COM
merce, and is therefore, subject to
regulation"
The contention that refusal to grant
renewal of licenses constitutes tax
ing of property without due process
of law, in contraventOn of the con-
stitution, was described by the COM
mission as mot we'll founded" Point
ing out that all broadcasters are IL
censed to use the ether, the state
ment said that if an applicant is de-
prived Of anything by the decision
of he commission ''it is not of his
tangible property, his transmtter or
his studio, but Of the privilege of
using and operating this property
either in interstate commerce or in
such way as may interfere with in
terstate comerce"

MINERS ARE AWARDED
$4,000 IN BACK PAY

Shamokin, Pa. CI. L. N. SD.-Three
hundred and twenty-five miners of
the Alaska Colliery will share in $780,
900 back-pay under an agreement be-
tween ocicials of the Philadelphia q
Reading Coal and Iron Co., and Chris.
]. Golden, district president of the
United Mines Workers.
The men and the company were at
odds over the pay for loaded mine
cars. The workmen charged that the
company increased the size of the
cars without increasing the rate.
After a hearing before the referee, a
decision was given in favor of the
miners. They will receive a 12-cent
rate per car.
Miners officials said the increase
would average S153.80 per man.

CLOTHING PRICES
Reported Lowest Since Year
1923
BY RALPH COUCH

Washington, ID. C. Consumers
throughout the United States general
ly are able to buy clothing at prices
which are the lowest for the season
in six years.
This information is obtained from
study of reports of the latest in
vestigation Of living costs in the coun-
try conducted by the United States
Labor Department.
The Labor Department data give
the average level Of clothing costs
each year by comparison with the
level Of prices in 1913. In 1923, it is
found, clothing prices averaged rs
per cent higher than in the earlier
year. In 1924 there was a slight de-
cline to "a per cent above the 1913
level In 1925 a further drop to II
per cent above is shown.
The downward trend continued in
the next three years and in 1927 the
level stood at 65 per cent above. This
year the average person is paying 63
per cent more than in the pre-war
period.

Writing to the Union Leader, Off
cial journal for Chicago of the Anal
gamated Street Car Mems Union, Mr..
Lynch traces efforts of the radio trust
to control independents. Included in
the independents is station VIGIL,
owned and operated by the Chicago
Federation of Labor. This is the only
broadcasting station in the world that
is woned, controlled and operated by
union labor.
To secure monopoly, the radio
trust pooled more than 1000 patents.
Every new patent was picked up.
In order to continue doing busi-
ness, Independent manufacturers were
forced to take out licenses from the
combination" says Mrs. Lynch. "The
terms for the licenses were: "Seven
and one-half per cent Of the manu-
facturers' selling price had to be paid
in royalties to the combination, and
if this 1-2 per cent did not amount
to 100000 per year, the manufac-
turer would have to pay that sum as
a minimum. In addition he should use
parts prescribed by the combination
in the manufacture of sets and for a
period of four and one-half years.
The combination must have priority
rights to purchase any Improvements
developed and for sale by the manu-
facturer."

'It is our experience that such an
employer quickly understands when he
is confronted by 100 per cent organ
ization. Then he no longer processes
ignorance of a movement whose ad-
vances on the social, economic and
political fields can not be equalled by
any other institution"
The A. F. of Y. official said the COM
pany union" is an employer-con-
trolled organization, and is merely a
concession to the spirit of an organ
ization age
The speaker developed the thought
that the company union" is identical
in spirit to individual bargaining, and
to the so-called American" and
"open" shop plans which the anti
union employer has been forced to
abandon. His latest scheme, in prin-
ciple and policy, permits him to re-
tain control of employees.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
System Was First Urged By
Trade Unions

Pittsburgh, Kan.-"If the free pub
lie school system were the sole accom-
plishment of the American trade un-
ion movement, this would be sufficient
justification for its existence" said
John P. Frey, secretary treasurer of
the Metal Trades Department, A. F. of
L., in Labor Day speech in this city.
The American Legion joined in the
Labor Day observance with organized
workers.
when trade unions along the At
lantic seaboard began their campaign
in 1925 to establish free public school
SYSTEM" said Mr. Frey, "they were
attacked by clergymen of all denomi-
nations, by an overwhelming majority
of educators and by employers. With
cooperation of that great educator,
Horace Mann, they continued their eff
forts until the free system, under state
control, was established"
The speaker called attention to 9TH
er remedial legislation that has been
secured through the efforts of organ
lied labor. These include child labor
laws, compulsory school attendance,
sanitary work conditions and compen-
sation for injuries and deaths.
while this record is an inspiration,
we must face new conditions" said
Mr.. Frey. Each year sees additional
skilled workmen thrown out of en-
ployment because of improved machin-
cry and more efficient methods of
production. There is but one answer
to the problem. Hours must be re-
duced and those who work must re-
ceive a wage sufficient to enable them
to purchase what industry produces.
The real wage of the American worker
must increase"

stood back of him and reelected him
That fact enables him to be courageous

JAILED GIRL
Strikers Sent Message BY
Hosiery Convention

Philadelphia, Pa. G. J.. N. S.).-The
seventeenth annual convention of the
American Federation of Full Fash
ioned Hosiery Workers, which met in
Philadelphia, sent a special message
to the two girl strikers in the Ken
osha county, Wis, jail on the tenth
day of hunger strike as protest
against what they regard as being
unjust police interference with the
right of picketing at the Allen-A mill
in Kenosha.
The convention, through Louis Bu-
denz, who is heading a delegation of
Allen-A strikers at the convention,
urged the two girls, Mertice Hudson
and Amanda Ritter, to cease their
hunger strike if they could possibly
reconcile their step with their prin-
ciples.
The convention wired to the girls
in Kenosha county jail expressing ad-
miration for the stand they have taken,
but hoping they would not injure their
health through their self-imposed fast.
