GROUP RADIO RIGHT
FIGHT NEARS COURT
Ruling on Labor Stations Plea for
Exclusive Wave Length
to Be Significant.

One of the most significant radio
questions to be decided this Fall by the
Court Of Appeals of the District Of Co
lumbia, or perhaps eventually by the
United States Supreme Court. is wheth-
er any distinctive group Of the general
public Is entitled to the exclusive use
Of a wave length.
It is made q major issue in the ap-
peal Of VIGIL, operated by the Chicago
Federation Of Labor, from the decision
of the Federal Radio Commission reftls-
ing It q cleared channel for broadcast
ing. The station now operates part
time. s..
Union leaders contend that the COM
mission in its alleged failure to grant
labor an equitable share of the Nations
broadcasting facilities acted contrary to
the public service provision of the radio
law.
Members Of organized labor and their
families. numbering several million peo-
pie, are entitled to at least one wave
length on which they can receive mes
sages or programs of particular interest
to the working people Of the country,
labor spokesman claim.
They point out that Capital has ex-
elusive broadcaSting facilities, with sew
eral large public utility corporations,
radio manufacturers and other COM
mercial enterprises holding wave lengths
Failure to give labor similar privileges
is declared to be unfair discrimination
and an ALLEGATION Of radio channels at
variance with the intent Of Congress in
enacting the law for regulation Of
broadcasting.
The Radio Commission holds that
there is no place for a station catering
to any group, but that all stations
should cater to the general public and
serve public interest against group or
class interest.
There are numerous groups Of the
public, it is explained by the commits
sion, that might similarly demand the
exclusive use Of a channel for their ben
EFT. However, there are not enough
channels To accommodate all of them.
