In the forthcoming presidential cam
paign. It's mushroom growth in the past
four years-since the last campaign
year---has attracted both Republican
and Democratic party leaders. for they

Is unparalleled in so far as the size OF
audiences Is concerned.
Herbert Hoover, who was Secretary
Of Commerce at the very advent Of radio
as a public service, in 1921, and SUPER
yised its development, will be the first
presidential candidate In history to EN-
ploy radio In campaigning. Radio win
get the opportunity 70 pay back its
obligation 10 the Republican candidate.
But there Is another connection be-
tween the candidacy Of Hoover and
Ia somewhat skeptical as TO its fate
should Hoover be successful In his CAM
patgn, In view of the present existence
In the Commerce Department of radio
division. which prior to the creation Of
the commission, supervised the reglla-
ton OF radio.
The commissions future Is In the
hands Of Congress- as under the pres
ent radio act the life OF the commits
sion expires I'm March, 1921, and the
terms OF all the present commissioners
expire In February OF that year. Based
on the theory that Congress viii enact
legislation In keeping with the Presi-
dents views, the commission thereby II
dubious about It's future should Hoover
be elected.
The radio division OF the Department
OF Commerce, which has been In exist
ence since 1911. Is headed by W. d.
Terrill Prior to the creation OF the
commission In February, 1927. this body
had control over issuance of licenses,
and regulation OF broadcasting. With
the operation of the commission, how.
ever. the radio division was divcsted OF
It's authority In regulation OF broadcast"
ing, but retained the duties OF prescrib-
ing qualifications OF station operators,

duties
At the last session OF Congress the
sentiment In the House seemed To favor
the vesting OF control over radio IN all
It's phases In the Department OF Com
merce. In the Senate, however. the
maintenance and continuation OF the
commission prevailed. proponents OF this
plan e0ntending that radio regulation
should be vested In an independent
agency OF the Government.

Industrial Accidents
Chief Cause of Loss
of. Workers Eyesight


Lewis N. Carris, managing direc-
tor of the Natinoal Society for the
Prevention of Blindness, stated at
a banquet for the board of directors
of the society at 1873 East 40th St.,
New York, yesterday, that the eye
hazards of industrial occupations,
that is, accidents, diseases affecting
the eye and eye strain, now consti-
tute probably the most serious cause
of blindness and impairment of vi
sion among workmen in America"
and that "close students of indus
trial problems are convinced that SO
per cent of industrial accidents are
preventible, including those which
destroy eyesight."
William Collins, an organizer of
the A. F. of L., pledged the support
of that organization in campaign
to reduce the number of accidents,
but did not explain how the A. F.
of L. leadership, with its present
policy of yielding to employers de-
mands of every sort, was to COM
pei installment of equipment that
would eliminate such hazards.

SHORT SESSION
FOR BIG NAVY
Probably Pass Kellogg
Pro-War Treaties

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The
prognosis here for activities of the
short session of congress which
opens Monday are all in. favor of
the much propagandized big navy
bill, the authorization to the navy
department to add fifteen cruisers,
as recommended by Coolidge in his
naval ornaments speech months
ago, and in his Armistice Day
threat to rival imperialism.
1t is expected that the Lame
Duck session of the senate will also
ratify the Kellogg treaty project,
the step towards war in Asia, Africa,
Europe and South America, for
which the cruisers will be needed,
and the most direct attack on Brit
ish imperialism that Coolidge's ad-
ministration has afforded, as well
as the most direct menace to the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
which his administration has for
mulated.

ers by a pretense at keeping cam
paign pledges made to them.

A report by Walter T. Edgerton,
an engineer hired by the Transit
Commission, yesterday showed that
the marlborough Rapid Transit sys-
TEN was not maintaining and ade-
quate schedule of trains in rush
hour periods and that thousands Of
New York workers were delayed and
made uncomfortable by the shortage
of 400 cars and by the lack of longer
platforms which the company re-
fuses to build. The report showed
that the service is not getting bet
ter.
"On Monday, Nov. g." Mr.. Edger-
toms report declared, "the express
operation from 7 to 10, southbound
past Times Square, was seventeen
trains short of the schedule, and
past Grand Central twelve trains
short of the schedule.
"On Tuesday," the report declared,
"west side express operation south
bound past Times Square was thir-
teen trains short of schedule during
the same hours, and a check at
Grand Central showed shortage OF

A number of arrests of Commu-

Milwaukee. A Communist street
meeting outside of the plant of A.

lice because a crowd had been
formed around the speakers and
traffic was impaired" as the CAPT

included: B. Sklar, sub-district or
ganizer, S. A. Herman, YWL sub
district organizer, John Srebny and
Ethel Stevens, young workers. Com
rade Stevens had been arrested for
street speaking on the previous
Monday but had been released on
bail after a few hours.
This time, patrol wagons were
called to take away the speakers
and the very large crowd of work

were furnished with an excellent

In several Pullman and South
Chicago precincts, Workers Party
watchers reported from II to II
votes for the Communist candidates
as against five to eight for the So
cialists.
The same was true Of the residen-
tial districts populated mainly by
industrial workers on the northwest

with respect to size of the Party
vote cast were the following: No. %,
Hammond, 16 votes; Nos. 8 and 80,

The vote in Cook County (Chi-
cago) as reported Immediately after
the election by the capitalist press
did not come up to expectations
based upon reports received from
the precincts where the Party had
watchers. These precincts reported
anywhere from five to twenty votes
each, yet the total credited to Foster
and Gitlow in the whole of Cook
County was only 1852, less than one

While this is an increase of As
per cent of two years ago, it is alb
solutely clear that many hundreds,
if not thousands of votes cast by
workers for the Communist ticket
were not counted, were credited to
our enemies owing to our inability
to provide sufficient watchers for

This is clearly shown by COM

candidate, it was almost three times

PARASITE PRINCE
RUSHING TO KING
Royal Propaganda In
undates Press

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Behind the
veil of official secrecy concerning
the condition of King George, the
monarch oppressor of 465,000,000
Subjects" the enormous majority
of whom are starved colonial
peoples, the news that the Prince of
Wales is rushing here from East
Africa, reveals the anxiety of the
British imperialists that the king
may die before the prince can ar
rive and thus lose a lot of good
monarchist advertising to be had if
the heir to the throne were on hand
to receive ovations as the new ruler.
The capitalist press is excelling
all previous records in agitating
soldering servility toward the in
stitution of monarchy. 1t states
that the king has been "over-
worked" chad no leisure" and por-
trays the population" as "heavy
with anxiety"
But it fails to remark that right
i'll England nearly 100000 are
starving in the unemployed army,
that thousands of poor and aged
workers unable to pay rents are be-
ing thrown onto the winter streets
that in Wales and other mining dis
tricts the miners families are dying
of starvation even though the minel
father be working, because the
wages are hopelessly inadequate
This, while the king, holder o.
great wealth in many industrial
stocks and inheriting salary from
Edwards time of S2,275,000 year
represents the very peak of imper
ialist reaction at home and over
seas.
