VIGIL TO LEARN WHY
IT LOST DECISION

Washngton-(FP)- Sen. Couzens'
resolution calling for an investigation
of the communications monopoly in
the United States has been favorably
reported to the Senate by the inter
state commerce committee, of which he
is chairman. If his measure is adopt
ed, the Chicago Federation of Labor,
operating Station VIGIL, will learn
just what are the connections between
the various radio and wire interests
that have seized the broadcasting
channels and have shut the "Voice of
Labor" off the air in the evening
hours.
The first purpose of the inquiry is
to determine the relationships exist
ing between the various .communica-
ton services-radio, telephone, tele-
graph, all kinds of wireless and cable,
and the transmission of power by wire

seek to determine the connection, re-
lationship, ownership and control ex-
ercised by corporations and persons
operating these services, both inter-
state and foreign, together with their
trade practices and activities including

Washington - (FP)-Interviewed
by the Federated Press on the mean
ing of the Labor Party triumph in
the British election, Senators Wheel
er and Norris, progressives, and Bor-
ali, moderate Republican, expressed
their satisfaction that reaction in
world politics and economics had re-
ceived a setback.
Wheeler Tickled
''The apparent overwhelming VIC
tory of the Labor Party in Eng
land" said Wheeler, SHOULD be
most heartening to all liberal mind
ed persons in this country, particu-
larly when big business interests
and their sycOpha1tic camp fol-
lowers and agents are completely
dominating our business, social and
political life.
''The people of England have
struck a blow not only at ignorant
reacthOnism in their own country,
but the blow will be felt in all parts
of the world. 1t will. / am sure,
curb militarism and do much more
for world reace than all of the fine
phrased speeches of reactiOnary
politicians and pseudO-statemen Nv
err the graves of unknown soldiers"
This last was shot at the contra
diction between Hoover's speech at
Arlington and the militarist speeches
made by Hoover's Secretary of the
Navy Adams.
NORRIS SAYS
REACTION REPUDIATED
Norris said: 'Gn addition to this
victory of the Labor Party showing
the general progressive tendency of
the voters of Great Britain, it is a
condemnation of some of the i'll
deeds of the Conservatives.

Prizes

New York, June Franklin Chase
Holt, presiding justice of the New
York city child1en's court, today was
announced the winner of the $4,000
prize contest for the best temperance
plan, sponsored by the Hearst news
papers.
The plan, in brief, suggested a re-
peal of the Volstead act, and a new
congressional definition of intoxicat-
ing liquors, which would make pos
sIble light wines and beers under
state control.
Other prize winners were:
Second, $1,000 - Brigadier- General
Albert Clayton Dalton, U. S. army,
retired, Washington.
Third, 2,0C0-Captain Thomas w.
The1kildsen, executive secretary of
the moderation league, New York.
Fourth ,0OO-James B. Quinlan
Jr., 1904 West Ramona boulevard, Al
hambra, Cal.
Justice Hoyt expressed his opinion
that the 18th amendment can not be
replaced for many years to come. He
drew a distinction between distilled
and fermented liquors, saying thai
"d;stillation is the act of man and ha!
been responsible for practically all TIT
evils which liquor has inflicted upol
the human race, while fermentation i
the act of nature and that to man,
must mean, in the most reverent;a
sense, the act of God"
His plan would bar "all alcohol
products of utilization" but would per
nit the control, manufacture and sal
of all malt, brewed and fermente
beverages by the states within thei
own borders.
All four of the prize-winning plan
agreed upon the present impractica
bility of repeating or amending tn
