CHAIN FIGHTS

Hard to Control

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-tRl-In
a report to the senate committee on
Interstate Commerce, engineers Of
the National Broadcasting company
declare the proposed placing Of chain
r~adiocasts on the same frequency
is technically ~unfeasible.
Members Of the committee, which
has charge Of radio legislation In
the senate, have suggested putting
chain stations on q single frequency.
The engineers report declares such
operation would require expensive
changes in equipment, unusually
skilltul handling. complicated pro-
gram and network administration and
would Inconvenience large groups OF
listeners.
Each station would need q master

expensive apparatus and difficult 70

work station, which also sends out
local programs, would require two
f~requencies on a transmitter which
could be changed rapidly from the
local to the network frequency AND
back again.
The engineers declare that when
network stations operate on the
same frequency there will be cross
talk or interference between the in
dividual station announcements. II

INDIANAPOLIS CP)-Flying close
behind those of two other senators,
Senator James E. Watson's hat has
landed in the ring for the repub-
lican nomination for president.
A lawyer by profession, Senator
Watson mas had active and varied
experience in practical politics. he
served II years in the house OF rep
resentatives, tor half that period
as republican whip; and In addition
to this experience in the senate, TO
which he was elected IN 1916, ne has
been his party's nominee for govern
or OF indiana and a prominent figure
in several republican national con-
ventions.
Thas is not the first time that
Jim" Watson has been mentioned
for the presidential nomination. In
1920 his name was among those of
possible nominees, but he did not
figure prominently in the balloting
at Chicago.
he was especially active in prep
aration of the 1921 national repuD-
lican platform.
Tariff and taxation are his spe-
c~ialties in legislation. He played a
conspicuous part in the senate
struggle over the Treaty of YER
s~ailles, standing with those who OPP
posed American membership in the
League of Nations. Recently, as
chairman of the state committee on
interstate commerce., he has. been in
terested in radio, and is said to be
one of the best posted members in
that body or radio legislation. 4
As a vote getter and campaigner
Watson long has been the envy of
other political leaders in Indiana.
When he has time he climbs into
an old fashioned buggy and goes out
to meet as many Indiana farmers as
he can. He has a remarkable mem
DRY for names and faces and n facul-
ty Of making friends. AS a youth he
was a charter member Of the Don't
Worry Club" Of Winchester, Ind. his
birthplace. He made a fair record in
attendance at the Methodist church
and was q leader in Epworth League
and other religious activities. He
sang in a church choir.
Graduated from DePauw Uniyer-
sity. Jim" entered his fathers law
office in Winchester. Soon after
ward the family moved TO Rushville,
Ind, which he has claimed as his
home town ever since. His bent for
public affairs soon drew him into
politics and in 1894 he was elected to
congress. After one defeat he was
again elected in 1898 and began an
unbroken service of 10 years in the
House.
Retiring from the House in 1907.
Watson took up the practice of law
in Nashville once more. but a year
later he was the republican candi-
date for Governor of Indiana
against Thomas r. Marshall, who
defeated him for vice presidency.
At the tumultous republican ma
tional convention in 1912 he was
floor manager for the forces which
eventually brought about renomina-
ton of President Taft.
Four more years Of private law
practice followed and then Watson
was elected to the senate in 1916.
He married Miss Flora Miller,
daughter Of a Winchester manu-
facturer. They have four children:
Capt. Edwin c. Watson, a regular
army officer; James, Jr-, who
served as a private in the marine
corps in the world war; Katharyn
and Joseph c. Watson.

Hard Hit By
Moral Wave

BUDAPEST, May 3.-Morals are
- growing better in Budapest, but
the dressmakers are terribly un-
happy.
A recent decree of the Hungarian
minister of education prohibits high
school girls from wearing anything
but long skirts and high necls.
The desses are all uniform.
This wave Of morality sweeping
the wicked high schools has bowled
over the Budapest dressmakers and
left them gasping. 1t means that
they will be deprived of making
about $4,000 new dresses this year,
with the loss of thousands of dol
lars.
The suffering dressmakers are
organizing a protest movement and
have decided to send a deputation
to the premier and the minister of
education, requesting that the
skirts of high school girls be short
ened and necks lowered to save the
industry.

Militant Organization Is Vital Need of Starring Workers

Take Philadelphia as an example.
Automatic machine tenders who
were getting 500 to $25 a week
last fall are now offered as low as
S12 per week. Most of the workers
have refused to work at this scale
thus far, but one of the Phila-

Since the first Of January 1928,
the wages Of Negro domestic work
ers in Philadelphia have also been
steadily falling. Four months ago
the scale for domestic work ranged
from $40 to SIS per week. 1t is
now So to $12. The pressure on
the domestic labor market is very
