Are Unfounded.

BY Inc Associated Press.
Testimony that the Radio Corpora-
ton Of America owns only 2 OF the
700 broadcasting stations In the United

committee today by Manton Davis
general attorney for the corporation.
The testimony was in answer To

ON conviction under anti monopoly
laws.
Davis said that radio companies who
were parties to the original cross

asked the committee whether Congress
wished "on representations made by
none OF the parties 10 those license
agreements TO become the guardian OF
the licensees"
The witness said he believed hostile
interests were prompted by jealousy of
the high standards and success OF the
programs provided by this small group

first been soaked in gasoline, and

the cat. Guided to the spot she per-
ceived the devils hand at work and
seized the animal with force, hurl-
ing it from the church, saving the
building from destruction and just
flying divine providence once more.
"a clear act of divine interven-
tion," she stated, bandaging her
scratches. The cat died.

ing the explosion are being put to-
gether: Improper ventilating facili-
ties, the failure to properly dust the
coal pits, the employment of green,
inexperienced men are the sources of
this, the greatest mine tragedy in
the history of western Pennsylvania.
Rock Dust.
Two survivors yesterday revealed
the first news of what actually pre-
ceded the blast. Cutting machines
which have been introduced by the
company without providing sufficient
space in which to operate them have
been permitted to give off showers of
sparks to the dread and warning of
the coal diggers. Late Saturday the
inevitable happened. The gradual ac-
emulation of coal dust which the
company has failed to remove in order
to save the expense finally caught
fire and went off in a tremendous
blast.
Frank Buscha, one of the 211 en-
tombed when the explosion went off
was rescued today by squad from a
hole in which he had crawled to escape
the deadly gases.
Buscha was found a mile and half
from the entrance to the mine sitting
on a rail patiently awaiting the rescue
squad His companion who had ven
tured out from the hole was found
dead a short distance from him.
While hundreds of miners, their
wives and families stand about the pit
entrance hoping against hope that the
steady yield Of dead may miss their
own near ones, little encouragement
is held out for the life of those en-
tombed.

TO TRY WOMEN
MILL PICKETS
|. l.. D. Gives Legal Aid
to Textile Strikers

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 22.-
The cases of the two women strikers
charged with carrying dangerous
weapons, violating labor laws, and dis
turbing the peace, comes up for trial
tomorrow in the Third District Court
here. The women were arrested more
than a week ago while picketing the
Pemaquid Mills, one Of the 56 textile
mills shut down by the strike Of the
$4,000 textile workers here.
They are to be defended by the
international Labor Defense attorney
Harry Hoffman of Boston. The I. L.
d. recently announced that it will sup
port the Textile Mills Committee
which is leading the struggle against
the wage slash, by providing legal aid
to all strikers arrested for picketing.
A new Cancellation committee has
been formed This time it is a COM
mittee of pastors who are seeking to
make the mill owners relent. The
other committee was formed several
days ago and is composed Of retail
merchants. The complete shutdown

alyzed nearly all retail trade.

Louis Cortissier, leader of the 1921

over his head, "Read that" he shouts,
as he filings hundreds of copies into

them underfoot "Now you see why
the company has sick and death bene-
fits, insurance and old age pensions, "
he cries, referring to the threat to
revoke them all. GAS soon as we
walk out to get just demands, they
threaten to cut off every penny of
these benefits"
The strike committee confers with
workers representatives at neighbor-
ing Standard Oil plants. The COM
mittee is promised that the men in
the other plants will not handle Tide
water oil. eff they do" says the head
of the Standard works council, we'll
pull every man out, too"
The striking dental laboratory
workers in New York send over a
representative, armed with a $40
check. "Stick it out and show Tide
water you're going to have real or

1880 workers in the hall cheered and
cheered.
Workers representatives report on
strike progress. The company, they
say, sent a Cadillac to bring them to
a conference with the management.
When they refused to call the men
back on the job, the Cadillac chauf-
feur was sent back to the garage and
the representatives walked back to
strike headquarters.

TEACHER IS FIRED

Recognition

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-Sol
instructor in logic, ethics

Pennsylvania has been dismissed from
the teaching staff for advocating the
of the Soviet Union at
student meeting here.
This is the second time IN recent
years that the University of Pennsyl-

WOMEN'S RADIUM
SUIT Plea FAILS
Three More Victims of
Poison Discovered

NEWARK, May 22.-The five
women who are dying slowly from
the effects of radium poison which
they absorbed into their systems
when employed by the United States
Radium Corporation of Orange, N.
j., will have to wait until September
for their cases to be brought to trial.
The vice-chancellor said that the
postponement was due entirely to con-
gestion, which is ridiculous in view
of the fact that many others offered
to step aside in order to let the wom-
ems cases have preference. The vice
chancellor made no reference to this.
The United States Radium Corpora
ton is powerful enough, financially
and politically, to keep his mouth
shut.
This final action of the court may
mean saving of $1,500,000 for ths
Radium Corporation, because the
women say that they have been in
formed by physicians that they may
not live till the fall. The five women
are Katharine Schaub, Grace Fryer,
Quinta Mcdonald, Albina Larice, and
Edna Hussman, who contracted the
poison while painting luminous dials
on watches while employed by the
United States Radium Corporation.
With the news of the failure to
advance this case, comes the news
that three other women have con
tracted the poison, and have reached
the stage where the deadly alpha rays
have begun to impair their bones.
