WORK OR DOLE,
is DEMAND OF
LABOR IN U. S.
Discomfort Is Theme of
Every Speaker Before
Monday ThrongS.

Labor has challenged America to
provide work-or provide doles.
The challenge came in scores of
addresses delivered Labor day when
America ceased work" to honor
labor.
Phrases reminiscent of the popu-
list uprisings in the middle west of
thirty-fve to forty years ago were
heard by some throngs addressed by
labor leaders, political leaders, or
champions of the common people, -
such as Governor William H. Muir
ray Of Oklahoma, who are riding to
popularity on the crest of the wave
OF unrest and discomfort.
Most picturesque among the horde
OF speakers was Murray, who called
for change in government in 1892,
and blamed the depression on "in-
ternational bankers"
His address during Chicago's cele-
bration Of the golden jubile of the
american Federation of Labor was a
lair sample of the theme of dis
content" which ran through prac-
tically every Labor day speech of
note.
Borah AssaiIs Wealthy
Among others were:
Senator William E. Borah at Cot
tonwood, Idaho: "If the rich do
not feed the poor this winter volun-
tarily, nevertheless they will do it.
If the wealth Of the country does
not feed them, there's only one
thing to do: Feed them from the
public treasury and then tax the
wealth."
Senator Robert F. Wagner at
Syracuse, N. Y: II am weary of
the pretense that shouts opposition
to the dole and in actual practice
falls to make adequate provision for
jobs and would limit. its efforts to
stimulation of local and private
doles." He urged as minimum
for the federal government "a
$4,000 100000 construction program
to employ more than 100000 men,"
Senator James ]. Davis at Potts
vile, Pa: "The solution will not
be found through wage cutting poll
cies, or reckless price slashing mere
ly for the sale of products of the
farm, factory or mine"
Green Demands Action
William Green, President A. F. of
L., at Ottumwa, lathe antidote
for the dole is work. There must
be either work or a dole in some
form. Which shall it be? Mere
talk is not enough. There must be
action.
James A. Reed, at Columbus, o.
Abhorring as 1 do the tenets of
Russian radicals, nevertheless I say
that Stain, with his schemes, has
exhibited more sense than Arthur
Hyde, agriculture secretary, for Sta
lin never was heard to utter the
idiotic declaration that the drought
was blessing or to charge agricul-
ture surplus to women who were
trying to reduce surplus fat.

OVER TWELVE MILLION
 RADIO SETS IN U. s.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Twelve and a half million radio sets, 5O,- 0O0,000 listeners.
 Take the Census Bureaus word for the first figure. A number slightly above that will appear in a final report soon to be issued. The second is an estimate described as conservative. It comprises Al per cent Of the country's popula- ton.
 AS to how many sets are switch ed on for any one program and how many people are listening, the Census Bureau will not commit it. self.
 Statistics as to the number Of radio sets in homes have been an nounced for 45 States and the Dis trict of Columbia. The percentage of families having receivers varies in different States, as does the number of persons per family. The number ot sets in the three most populous States--New York, Penn SylVdnld duu 1l1AuOiS -hdo hOI yOe been made public.
 These three States have more than a quarter of the total radio sets of the country, it is estimated on he basis of returns from near by States, and more than one-third of the oountry's total probable lis teners.
 In the period since the census enumeration, year and 10 months ago, many more radio sets have been palced in homes and the lis tening audience thereby consider ably increased.
 The number of probable listen CTS has not been estimated by the Census Bureau. It gives only the number of families reporting pos session of radio sets. But the bu- reau has reported the average number of persons per family ip the various States. Applying that average to the number of radio receivers in each State gives an approximation of the number of listeners.

UNCONSCIOUS
IN HOSPITAL

gained Senses Since
Accidental Shooting.

Unconscious since he was found
at noon yesterday with a gun shot
wound in the head, Alfred E. EIDE,
II, son OF Mrs. Ben Christian, lies
in FL Centro hospital today in a
critical condition.
The body was found at noon on
the Christian ranch when his step
father went to search for him at
luncheon time. A revolver was
found nearby. Accidental discharge
of the revolver is believed to have
inflicted the wound.
Physicians in charge told
members of the family that If
Alfred lived until Friday there
would be hope for his ultimate
recovery. Possible loss of the
sight of one eye was antic:pat-
ed. The charge entered the
head near the right temple and
lodged near the left temple.
Since his return from Annapolis
Naval academy last week, Alfred
had been engaged in cutting down
a tamarack hedge and he was
found lying near the hedge yester-
day.

a revolver or rifle for target prac-
tice. said relatives today. He was
accustomed to handling firearms
and was greatly interested in wea-
pons of all types. II is believed the
gun may have been discharged by
brushing against the limb of a
tree while he was at his work.

will not be determined until he re-
gains consciousness.

clans yesterday showed the path of
the charge and the condition Of

Failure Looms
For Arms Truce

GENEVA, Sept. 23. W.P) = Italy's
proposal for a years arms truce,
tentatively accepted by Great Bri-
tain and the United States, appear
ed doomed to failure as a formal
proposition today.
The hitch arose over a proposal
by Japan for adjournment of the
disarmament commission, and the
opposition of the little entente,
Roumania, Jugoslavia and CZecho-
slovakia, to the proposal.
The commission hence was obli-
gated to confine itself to the Scan
dinarian proposal urging states not
to increase their ornaments before
or during the disarmament confer
ence next year.
