j. s. To PROBE
RADIO TRUST

Demand for protection for the
Independent radio industry against
the alleged monopolistic tendencies
of the Radio Corporation Of Amer
acan and other big corporations
was made today by the Radio Pro-
tective Association to Attorney
General Mitchell.
Charging unwarranted collection
of royalties under patent contracts
on alternating current socket
power apparatus, Oswald F..
Schultz, executive secretary of the
association, said in letter to
Mitchell:
For two years we have sought,
in vain, from your department the
protection Of the anti-monopoly
laws of the United States against
the aggression of this monopoly.
We now renew that appeal and
ask you, as the representative of
the law enforcing branch Of the
government. to prosecute this
illegal monopoly and to give the
independent radio industry the
protection which Congress intended
we should have when it passed
these laws"
Investigation Planned
Schutte's complaint will referred
to the antitrust division Of the Jus.
tice Department for preliminary
investigation before 1t Is considered
by Mitchell.
The associat ton called. the attor-
ney generals attention to decision
by the U. s. District Court Of Della.
ware in the case of the Dubilier
Condenser Corporation, PerciYal ID.
Lowell and Francis d. Dunmore VS..
the Radio Corporation, holding that
the latter was infringing on the
Lowell and Dunmore patents on
FAC" socket power apparatus.
This decision Is of nation wide
Importance because of the light it
sheds on the patent racketeerirg
policy Of the radio trust" Schultz
wrote the Justice Department.
Collected Millions
.For two years this radio trust,
the patent pool Of the Radio Corpor-
alton of America, General Electric
Company. Westinghouse Electric
q Manufacturing Co., the United
Fruit Co., and the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co., has been
collecting millions OF dollars in
royalties from radio manufacturers
on the pretense that its patents COW
, cred this process. Judge Morris de-
cision, therefore, dramatizes our con-
tention that the radio trust has
been collecting these royalties, not
on the merits of it's patent, but on
the coercive power Of its illegal COM
bination.
"sThe radio trust license agree
ments do not guarantee the validity
of the patents under which they pre-
tend TO grant manufacturing rights.
They do not even identify the.pat-
euts. Yet under these contracts the
radio trust is collecting royalty of
~ per cent on the gross turnover Of
the corporations it has been able to
tntimidate into signing them"
Schultz held that the companies
who have been paying the royalty
may now be confronted with the
possibility of being compelled to pay
that royalty again to "the real
owners of the patents. which were
in. litigation when these licenses
were signed"

CLARK ASSA|LS
ELDR|DGE

Charles p Clark, general manager
of the American Automobile Associ-
alton, let fly his verbal guns again
today against M. Q. Eldridge, act.
ing director of the Traffic Bureau,
in their disagreement over traffic
regulations and the Hoover left turn.
Eldridge recently reiterated his
claim that the Hoover code contains
no provision for making a left turn
at any point than to the right of
the intersection. To this Clark de-
murs.
"Mr. Eldridge saw fit" says Clark,
discussing the legal phraseology in
the regulations, ito set forth a por-
tion of Section Ssh of the code which
standing alone, would support his
contention, but it must have been
with deliberate intent that he re-
Trained from giving the modifying
clause which Immediately, proceeds
omitted is part of the same SEN
fence he did include in his prepared
statement and reads as follows: ''un-
less otherwise directed by turning
markers" ...
LIE "a a. a. OIIlClat duOS EndI TurH"
ing markers very possibly might be
to 1.-THE left Of the center" and that
a study Of various authoritative in
terpretations" indicate that "the turn
to the left of the center of the inter.
section was and is clearly within the
terms and the spirit of the code
though not stated therein in such
words"
81 think Mr.. Eldridge has given
powerful evidence in support of the
cause Of uniformity" concludes
Clark, land has proven it to be
widespread, indeed. because he states
in his formal reply that the similar
fly between the turns he has sur
veyed is that they are both made
from the left lane of traffic nearest
The center Of the street and against,
the red light on the intersecting
street. Tor. to paraphrase it. on the

CABS STRIKE
IN NMATAMOROS
Chaufferus' Union Protests
High Taxation BY Halt
ing Service

The road between Matamoros and
Santa Cruz was lined with pedes-
trians Tuesday morning due to the
strike declared over Tamaulipas by
the Chauffeurs' union in protest of
increased taxes. The strike went
into effect Monday at midnight.
Only official cars were moving
about the streets Of Matamoros and
the numerous people who come to
Brownsville each morning were
forced to walk to the bridge. A
group Of the chauffeurs were con-
gregated at the foot of the bridge
on the Mexican side of the river
seeing that there were no violations
of the strike. Cars were stopped
from time to time and questioned
as they started to re-cross the Rio
Grande.
The strike does not apply to
American service cars or civilian
cars. These may pass back and
forth without danger, Roberto Con-
zales, president of the ChauffeurS'
union, stated Monday morning.
Mexican service cars and Mexi-
can private cars are tied up, how
ever.
Members of the union declared
that the strike would be continued
until relief was obtained from what
they consider too high taxation.
They said that under the new rul-
ings, service cars must pay a tax
ranging around sos each year.
The bus lines plying between
Brownsville and MatamoroS were
not in Operation Tuesday.

EXPENSEONLY
OBJECTION TO
PLAN BY FOX
Heads of Brownsville
Navigation District
Say Money Needed
Provided In Bonds

Notice that report of
Major Milo P. Fox, district
engineer at Galveston had
been made to the Chief of
Engineers in Washington on
the proposal to change the
channel at Brazos Pass from
Point Isabel towards and
near Brownsville, was receiv-
ed by the members of the
Brownsville Navigation Dis
trict here today and was con-
sidered by them to be very
favorable to the project.
The only objection to the location
Of the turning basin about 4 miles
northeast of Brownsville instead of
at Point Isabel is the additional ex-
penSe.
Members of the local commission
point out that the project is not
considered either irnpracticable or
not feasible and that in anticipation
of the additional expense the citi-
zens of the district already have
provided to meet that objection by
providing the necessary funds with
a $2,0O0,000 bond issue.
z. A. Rosenthal, chairman Of the
Brownsville navigation district, dis
cussing the notice of report, said
that the commission is highly graft
fled at the favorable terms OF the
report as indicated by the notice.
I'VE gather from this notice OF
report that there Is now no ques-
ton of the feasibility and practic-
ability of the proposed Brownsville
ship channel" Mr.. Rosenthal said
"It Is also evident that the pro-
posed Brownsville project has ad-
vantages over the proposed Point
Isabel project. Apparently the prin-
cipal objection to the project is the
additional cost, which was antici-
pated by the Brownsville navigation
district and provides for. The voters
of the Brownsville district answered
this objection on the 22nd OF De-
cember last by voting S2,000,000
bond issue which has been validated
by the legislature OF the state OF
Texas"

Nomination Ends Row
Started With Oppo-

Bv Neff Last Year

WASHINGTON, April 16.-(P)-
Oscar B. Colquitt, former governor
of Texas, and Hoover democrat
was nominated today by President
Hoover to be a member Of the rail-
road board Of mediation, succeed
ing Pat Neff, also former COVER
nor Of Texas, whose term has eX-
pired.
In naming Colquitt, the president
turned aside a recommendation
that he reappoint former Governor
Pat M. Neff, whose nomination by
President Coolidge last session met
considerable opposition.
Mr.. Neff was opposed by former
Senator Mayfield of Texas, and a
group of labor organizations which
contended Neff was unable, on the
fact of his record in several media
ton cases to exercise an impartial
opinion.
The senate interstate commerce
committee held lengthy hearings
on Neff's nomination and subSe-
quent1y returned q s'fs76rabIe re-
port. The opposition, however, pre-
vented Neff's name from coming
before the senate and his nomina-
ton automatically died for lack of
confirmation on March 4.
