RADIO TRUST SWATTED
FOR MONOPOLY

Baltimore-FP-On petition by the
tube making group in the Radio Pro
tectlve Assn, representing independ-
ent manufacturers of radio equipment
Federal Judge Morris has enjoined
the Radio Corporation of America
against enforcing the 'tube clause"
of its licensing contracts with 25 of
the large manufacturers in the radio
business. This tube clause REQUIRES
the licensees to use only the tubes
made by the radio monopoly in their
sets.
This section is a preliminary TO
hearings at Washington on Sen. DIPS
bill to forfeit patents that are used to
violate the antitrust laws. The Radio
Corporation of America admits that
1t controls over 1870 of the tube bust
ness. The White bill, now in com
mittee in the House, also seeks to
break up the radio trust by forfeit
ing its broadcasting licenses.

at the Smith blacksmith shop last
week while Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Peer

said to have taken place within the

from the amount of damage done to

blown off and the walls and roof
bulged out. Smith and Peerboom
We're both blown about 20 feet but

COMPL PL|MENT TOO GREAT SAYS HERB
 M OBLIGATION
EVERY BOY AND GIRL GIVEN A CHANGE BY AMERICA TO BE
 COME PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, June 15. (P)-Her. bert Hoover sent message to Chair man Moses saying in part; T sincere ly appreciate the confidence which the party has shown in me and the honor bestowed upon me.
 You convey too great compliment when you say I earned the right of the Presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt, it gave me, as it gives to every boy and girl a chance.
 The Convention affirmed the prin- cipales of our party and defined a pol icy upon the problems which now con front us. I stand upon that platform. At later date will discuss it fully but in the meantime I say that under these principals the victory party will assure National defense, main tain economy in administration of gov ernment, protect American workmen and the formers business men alike from competitions arising. But the lower standards of living abroad will foster individual initiative and insure stability in business and employment and promote our foreign commerce and develop our national resources.
 If elected I shall give the best within me and uphold the traditions of the Republican Party which so effect lively has been exemplified by Presi- dent Coolidge"

A GREAT VICTORY

KANSAS CITY June 15. (P)-The surprise withdrawal of Governor Low den helped the Hoover landslide Lowden withdrew his name from the nomination because he did not ap prove of the Farm Relief plank which was adopted.
 Twenty four of Lowden's Illinois votes went to Hoover. The march toward Hoover turned into an impres. sive and colorful political enthusiasm leaving the officials powerless.
 Delegates staged a 20 minute dem- onstration when Hoover's name was mentioned at the start. The nomina- tion speech was less violent and dem onstrations staged the end of the speech and when Hoover was nomi- mated.

Fires Hurt All Business

an the present economic scheme of things" says
the Modern Fire Chief, Eve live in a very closely-knit
and interrelated world. Cooperation is the basis of
our economic order, which is affected and regulated
by a very intricate system Of exchange. Each Of Us
can enjoy success in the long run, only as long as the
whole system Of things prospers. Because Of this CO.
operative interdependence any waste Of labor or capi-
tai affects each of US.
knowing this { be true, why do we Americans
so complacently regard our annual fire loss as a matter
Ct eourse-something that only affects those who
suffer a fire? What a fallacy it i TO believe that the
effects of a fire are limited to the factory or the build
ing or the home that is destroyed!
What happens when an industrial plant burns ?
Production ceases, and when work stops, men naturally
are thrown out Of work. When work ceases, salaries
and wages cease. Perhaps it soon becomes necessary
to draw out Of saving accounts and the like. Only the
absolute necessities of life are purchased. The buy
ing power Of the people is lessened."
The public should realize that our tremendous an
nual direct fire loss Of nearly S600,OOO,OOO is but a
small part Of an inestimable total. The indirect loss
in wages, business, time and employment Is a great
additional burden that must be borne BY all Of Us, and
which is not insured"
