The soviets are all excited about the
possibility of new lease of life for
the American recognition program.
The soviets, through Pradva, even go
so far as to agree to a certain kind
of payment of debts to America by
longterm notes. This program prob
ably does not cover the entire in
debtedness, nor is there any assur-
ance that a soviet note would be any
good on maturity. But conspicuously
absent in all the utterances from Mos
COW is any mention of stopping
propaganda 1t is clear to all who
think at all about the issue that no
soviet agreement or offer can amount
to anything until first of ALL soviet
propaganda is stopped. What is
wanted is not a promise to stop, but
the actual stoppage itself. That
would be beginning and no more
than beginning. 1t is, we may by
now be sure, beginning that the
soviet despots will not make.

THE BIG CONVENTION

Next week another American Fed
Grafton of Labor convention will open.
Those annual conventions record la
boris progress. They constitute la
bor's highest Legislative assembly.
They are of tremendous Importance.
Every indication is that the conven-
ton to be held in New Orleans this
year will be the most important held
since the World War days. Not only
labor, but all Americans, will want
to watch this great convention and its
work. Progress of Importance will
be recorded and great plans made
for the future Of the great labor
movement.

THE GOOD OF FAIRGROUNDS

Organized labor's stand for ade-
quate city Fairgrounds and recreation
areas for children is strengthened by
facts made public in the American
City, published in New York. The
magazine reports that a decrease of
20 per cent in 25 years in the num-
Der of Juvenile delinquents in Mil
waukee, Wis, although the popula-
tion doubled during that time, has
accompanied the spread of supervis-
ed Fairgrounds which the city started
at the beginning of the period. Ir
Dayton, Ohio, the report points out
the sections of the city with adequate
playground facilities show 80 per cent
less delinquency than the districts
which lack them. And a distinct de-
crease in court cases involving delin
quent children has been reported a.
following the establishment of propel
play facilities by 223 of 351 play
ground directors and superintendent:
of schools who replied to a question
naire addressed to them by the maga
zine. The officials who did not re
port decreases were mostly from small
towns where the delinquency problem
is less acute.
An interesting development is in
creased use of Fairgrounds afteI

In 25 years, he says, the federal

this should not cause alarm.
Let us accept Mr.. Emery's claim

orders have accomplished.
They have annulled government by
law in labor disputes, established
government by one man, denied free

made it possible for judges to die

picket; they have prohibited bond
ing company from aiding miners to
appeal eviction cases; they have or
dered unionists to not cease work.

A LABOR GOVERNMENT?

The United States is rapidly be-
coming a nation of employers and
employed. The small business men
are being wiped out all over the coun-
try. This will mean a great prepon-
denance by and by of wage-earners.
At the same time our agricultural
population is steadily increasing.
More sharply than ever before the
American people will be divided be-
tween employers and executives on
the one hand, and rank-and-fle work
ers on the other hand. Looking
ahead, the question arises: Are we
so shaping our economic forces that
a labor government will be logical in
the not remote future?
During recent years employers have
made more progress than trade unior
leaders in enlisting loyal following
among wage-earners. viii this con
tinue? Or will the tremendous mul.
tiplication of business consultations
of all kinds come to be viewed by
ordinary people with disapproval anc
distrust? Certain it is that in affect
ing mergers more care should be
taken than has been taken heretofore
to avoid casting into the street mid
dle-aged and older workers of Ions
service. Complaints on this score
are already sufficiently numerous tt
exercise concern among thoughtful
citizens. If capitalists conduct them
selves considerably, it may we'll bt
that the advent of labor govern
ment will prove a long way off anc
that when it does come the spirit
motivating it will not be vindictive
and destructive, but statesmanlike anc
constructive.-Forbes Magazine

RED" Mine
Workers. Organization Is
Chartered By State

Harrisburg, Pa.-A small group of
miners have formed the Anthracite
Mine Workers of Pennsylvania" and
are chartered by the state. The
movement is the result of an illegal
convention held in Scranton several
months ago that ousted regularly
elected officials. This disregard for
union law resulted in the expulsion
of the trouble makers who were en-
couraged by communists.
Members of the United Mine Work
ers are only interested in the seces-
sion movement to the extent of point
ing to the methods they use. They
pose as "progressives" while they
rush to the state for charter, which
permits any judge, on complaint of
single member, to bring the So
called union" into court and demand
an explanation for any act or pro-
| posed act.
| This is an ideal situation for COM
pany men and spies who mask as rev.
olutionists.
The insurrectionists are supported
by the "red" Save-the- Union commit
tee and the "red" Trade Union Educa-
tional League.
Differences between the regular
unionists are adjusted and the char
tered "union" will have the usual end.

For "revolutionists," however, to be
chartered by the state is the most
amusing thing in the tempestuous
history of the anthracite region.

concern. It's appeal is in its low
cred prices. The customer pays cash,
totes home his own load, and saves
money.
But the men who do the work in
the chain stores are chronically under
paid. What fairness is there in find
ing way by which the customer may
save money at the expense of the clerk
who waits on him?
The non-delivery feature is gener-
ally evaded by the employment OF
boys to make deliveries. The stores
pay the boys nothing, but the GUS
toner is expected to pay tip, usually
dime.
1t is very difficult to pay Peter, il
seems, without robbing Paul.

NO PROFIT IN WARP

Ship builders and allied interests
favor the pending conscription bill,
which, the public is told, will take
profit out of war. Trade unionists
claim the bill is aimed at labor.
The sincerity of these business men
was tested in the last congress when
their greed defeated 15-cruiser
program. The bill provided that eight
of the vessels should be built in gov
ernment yards.
The business men and navy Off.
cials had the senate committee in
sert weasel amendment which per-
mitted the secretary Of the navy to
purchase parts for these eight vessels
from private manufacturers.
Pacifists exposed the hypocrisy Of
these pleaders for national defense
and for no profit in war and the pro-
gram was sidetracked.

CONTEMPT OF COURT"

Federal Judge Geiger, of Milwau-
kee, jailed 26 strikers for contempt
of court, following their refusal to
obey his anti-picketing injunction.
The strikers include nine women
They would not accept one-man gov
ernment and the court ordered them
confined in the Milwaukee house of
correction.
Did the strikers approach the Jail
with fear and trembling? They did
not. They sang and they cheered.
An injunction Judge is on danger
Gus ground when workers laugh be-
cause he throws them in Jail.
The very contempt of court" he
would check is more liable to increase.
Force and fear can uphold wrong,
but when laughter replaces fear wrong

WILL STUDY UTILITY
OF RADIO IN JUNGLES
Expedition to Test American
Broadcast Receivers in Remote
Parts of the World.

CHICAGO CP).-Utility of the mod
en American broadcast receiver in a
remote part of the world Is to be in
veSttgated by an expedition into the
jungles of Borneo.
The expedition, which is to collect
geological and other scientific Speci~
mems and to study tropical radio prob
lens, will carry a number of standard
factory-built receivers to be used in
picking up long-distance broadcasts and
time signals from Manila. It is thought
the sets also will prove beneficial in
keeping up the morale of the men dur
ing the long months In the jungleS. A
daily log will be kept of all stations
heard.
Radio engineers believe that the ex-
pedition will be able to get much val
liable data on the type of receiver best
adapted to the lower ATTITUDES. Due to
the extreme humidity, radio sets in the
tropics must be shielded from moisture
and otherwise differently constructed
than those for colder climates.
The party, known as the All-Amer-
lean Mohawk Malaysian Expedition,
plans to work up the Barito River to
its headquarters and halt for several
months. Later it expects to push across
the great mountain barrier to the OPP
posite coast It is to sail from San
Francisco within a month.
Special Short-wave radio apparatus
will be carried, and it Is hoped to MAIN
tain constant radio communication with
the outside and especially with the
headquarters at Bandjermasin, capital
of Dutch Borneo. An effort is to be
made to contact with the Byrd Ant

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, November 17.-Twenty-
one radio owners along the road be-
tween Keymar and Detour, Carroll
County, have petitioned the Public
Service Commission to take action to
compel the Potomac Edison Electric
Co. to put its line in such condition
that it will not interfere with radio
reception.
The protestants claim the company S
lines are not properly insulated and
as a consequence radio sets along the
line are rendered useless.
The letter, which is signed by IL
residents of Keymar and residents
of Detour, in part, says:
1--WE, the undersigned, radio-owners
along the Potomac Edison Electric line
from Keymar to Detour, Md, petition
YOUR honorable body to compel the
Potomac Edison Co. to put it's line
in such condition to enable us to have
radio reception.
For the past year we have been
troubled with roaring and buZzing due
to poor insulation and transformers,
that we have taken this matter up a
number of times with the company, but
as yet got no results.
'"The only time we can get recep-
ton is during rainy or damp weather,
while the insulator and poles are ground
ed. We sincerely trust you will take this
matter up with the company at once
and compel 1t to make necessary re-
pairs"

DAMPED WAVE EMISSION
TRANSMITTERS BARRED

BY the Associated Press.
Another source of interference with
the reception of programs in the broad
cast band Is to be eliminated.
Use of transmitters employing damp
ed wave emissions is prohibited by the
Federal Radio Commission in an order
recurring stations to diSplace such
rransmitters with apparatus using con-
tinuous waves or modulated continuous
wave emissions prior to January l.
The old model spark sets using
damped waves have a broad emission
which causes interference over wide
area, engineers of the commission say.
Some of these tranSmitterS operating
on a frequency of 800 kilocycles have
even interferred with stations on chan
nels in the broadcast band more than
800 kilocycleS away.
About twenty radio telegraph stations
located chiefly on the coast have
transmitters employing damped wave
emissions. A number of cannery sta
tions in Alaska still use the old spark
type of transmitter, but the Navy,
which formerly had many Of these sets,
has disposed of virtually all of them.
The commissions order does not ap-
ply to ship stations These transmitters
will be eliminated, however, by January
l, 1880, when the ban placed upon them
by the International Radio Telegraph
convention becomes effective.

FREQUENCY TESTS
IN RADIO PROPOSED
DR.. Dellinger Recommends Syn
chronized Lines Be Subjected
to Observation.

Reaction of the listening public to
stations which are operating IN syn
chronization is recommended to the
Federal Radio Commission by DR.. j. h.
Dellinger, chief engineer OF the commlS-
sion.
DR. Dellinger suggests that synchro-
nization of the stations be tried out IN
four experimental periods, and copy
of observational C.ata on each period
submitted to the commission. In the
first test period, observations Wouia pe
taken every two days over period OF
at least two months to determine
whether the standards used are capable
of remaining constant In frequency con
tinuously within Is cycles of the IL
censed frequency.
In the second period it will be re-
uuired to demonstrate that the emitted
waves from the stations can De held
continuously within Is cycles OF the
assigned frequency. The trial OF this
would be over a period of not less than
one month of transmiSsionS by the
stations during the hours after mid
night. In special cases, the commits
sion would authorize tests in the day
time.
In the third period, observations
would be made of the character of re-
ceived signals from the station every
two nights for month These obser-
vationS would be taken at approximate
" 20, so and 100 miles from each sta
ton. Signal intensity, fading and
quality of signals would be noted al
ternately with all stations operating
and one station operating.
During the fourth experimental Pc
Rod, the stations would operate with
Eynchronization with no limitation of
hours for one month. The stations, not
less than twice each evening, would an
ntEnce that they are operating expert
nsntally in synchronization with other

GENEVA UP).-Plans have been
made for the operation of nigh-pow-
cred radio station at Geneva, Switzer-
land. to be used in times CT emer-
gency by the League of Nations to send
messages to all countries in the world
The radio station normally will be
operated by the Radio-Suisse, COM
pany operating under the Swiss gov
ernment, but In times of emergency il
will be taken over by the League. The
station will have long wave trans
mitter of $4,000 watts, supplemented b.
short wave transmitters.
The secretariat of the League would
decide which of its own telegram:
should be. sent by wireless and which
by the lines of the Swiss administra-
ton. In any case, the Swiss telegraph
administration would take all necessary
steps to dispatch by wire as rapidly az
possible such League traffic as could
not be transmitted from the radia tele-
graph station. The official traffic of the
League would be given priority over
all private messages.
