STRIKE C:AeF: WAITS
ON COURT RULING
Judge at Marion, N. c., to De.
eide Whether rebellion"
Charges Are Improper.

~ the Associated Press.
MARION, N. c., November Gloon
tinuance of the trial of Alfred Hoffman,
organizer for the United Textile Work
ers of America, and four others upon
charges of instruction and rebellion
as the result of textile strike disorders
hinged today upon pending ruling by
Judge @. " Cowper as to whether such
disorders could warrant the charges.
Contending the acts charged to the
defendants were at most misdemeanors,
the defense yesterday moved for non
suit and dismissal Of the defendants as
to the charges. The motion came near
the end of the days court session when
the State rested its case.
Time for Argument.
Judge Cowper told attorneys he would
permit them all necessary time to argue
the motion. The statute under which
the charges were brought was passed
in 1868, but Judge Cowper said he could
find no presidents which would be
grounds for holding such disorders to
come under the statute.
Arguments were only partially COM
pleted when court adjourned until 1890
today.
Five clashes between strikers. nom
strikers and sheriff's officers the past
Summer during strikes called at the
two Clinchfield mills and the Marion
Manufacturing Co. will form the basis
for the States charges. The defend
ants are alleged to have taken part in
the disorders.
Solicitor Explains Basis.
In answering the defenSe's conten-
ton that there had been instruction
and rebellion, but only at most COM
mission of misdemeanor, Solicitor j.
Will PleSs argued the separate acts to-
getller constituted an instruction.
In no one Of the acts charged to
the defendants, in no one statement
charged to them is there instruction"
he said. Taken all together. however.
they are instruction and should go to
the jury
Final witnesses presented by the State
were mostly character witnesses for
sheriff's officers, who presented the bulk
of the State testimony.
On trial with Hoffman are Lawrence
Hogan, Del Lewis, Yves Fowler and j.
Hugh Hall, all of Marion.

Bolivia Press Complains.

BY Gable to The Star.
LA PAz, Bolivia, November 2l.-The
newspaper La RaZon in an editorial
Tuesday complains that an act recent
ly passed by the Senate will penaiize
Progressive newspapers. The editorial
refers to an act which would classify
employees in the graphic arts employed
by enterprises with pay rolls under
$4,000 a year as commercial work
ers"
I'VE should be appreciative of the
wisdom of the Senate" the paper says,
THE law will penaliZe us for having
dared to depart from the antiquated
molds in order to establish an adequate
and cultured press"

RADIO INDUSTRY
IS CLEANING HOUSE
Adopts Code Of Ethics, Better
Trade Practices and Prod
uct Improvement.
Ely MARTIN CODEL.

Inside its own house, the radio in
dustry is engaged in a Spring cleaning
task that is not all confined to code
of ethics for broadcasting stations. 1t
is also concentrated upon preparations
for continued program excellence
throughout the Summer months. Among
the manufacturers and distributors the
Spring activity is mainly on product
improvement and better trade practices.
The ethics code adopted by the Ma
tional Association of BroadcaSters at its
Chicago meeting this week was mani
festation of the determination of that
branch of the industry to keep its own
house in order before pressure is ex-
erted from governmental sources. The
code fixes high standards of taste and
of conduct toward the radio public and
is designed to raise the plane OF radio
advertising integrity.
Within the radio trade the chief
abuse against which the manufacturers
are complaining is the so-called "preda-
tory price cutting" With the end in
view of enabling the makers of sets,
tubes and parts to Ak the retail price
of their products, Representative Kelly
of Pennsylvania has agreed to introduce
in the next Congress "fair-price act"
that would legalize the fixing of resale"
prices.
The object. the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association explains, is
not to hold up prices, but to maintain
fair competition and rid the public of
fire and casualty hazards due to the
manufacture of merchandise below the
accepted standards of the industry"
The legislation would authorize con-

goods at uniform prices and would avoid
the danger of having bad equipment
dumped upon the public, says the Ma
tional Electrical Manufacturers ASso-
ciation.
Cease and desist orders" on resale
prices are frequently issued by the
Federal Trade Commission against re-
sale price fixing, and the broader as
poets of this legislative proposal in the
interests of the radio trade assure 1t
hard shedding in Congress. The argu-
ment will be advanced that the harm
done to competition in many lines of
trade will more than offset the stabiliz-
ing benefits the radio people hope to
achieve.
That the radio trade must occas-
ionally be held in check by the Gov
eminent authority is evidenced by the
several instances of complaints against
radio manufacturers and jobbers that
have had to be acted upon by the Fed
eral Trade Commission. Latest of such
cases is one in which corporation last
week was obliged to stop describing its
radio cabinets as mahogany and wal
nut when In fact they were made of
other woods.

Spring and Summer programs, the set
tube business continues to be good. It
is estimated that sales of electric cur
rent sets last year increased 456 per
cent over 1927 and the dealers expect
to maintain a continued high level for
this year by getting a good start on
sales during the present season. The
latest figures by the N. E. M. A. reveal
retail sales of tubes last year amounting
to S110000.000.
One of the most important develop
ments in the radio tube industry was
the licensing this week of the Raytheon
Manufacturing Co, of Cambridge,
Mass. to make and sell tubes under pat
ents and processes of the Radio Corpo-
ration of America. This is the first of
such patent licenses to be granted by
the r. C. A. and represents an extern
sion of its licensing policy. Up to now
it has only granted licenses to certain
companies to manufacture receiving
sets under its patents.
Another development of some sig
niflcance is the return of Paul Ware.
