For Largest Demonstration.
At the Harlem mass meeting, Israel
Amter, district organizer Of the Com
munist Party and recently released
from six months imprisonment for
leading the jobless March demon
stration, declared that Tuesday the
most serious and determined effort
so far would be made to force the
city council to really do something for
the jobless. Hitherto, on March 6,
and on Oct 16, the demands on Tam
many for food for the starving has
been met by blackjacks and police
terror.
Even so, the March 6 demonstra-
tons in New York and other cities
smashed through the conspiracy of
silence which the bosses press was
maintaining on unemployment. And

grafters, which they had not intend
ed to give Now the biggest of all
mass demonstrations is planned, and
whatever happens, its results will not
be nil.

er. told the audience of the success
of the Unemployed Council newly
formed in Harlem. in preventing eyic-
tons. When they put back the fur
niture of Mrs. Reed, at West 18th
ST., the mayors committee sent up
to inquire by what right and who
gave them authority to do this. The
Harlem Unemployed Council an
swered: "Our authority is our organ
Hed power, in cooperation with the
workers, against the bosses, Landlords
and their political agents, to save the
jobless from starving and freezing to
death"
Alexander, Negro worker. told OF
the activities of the League for
STIR ggle for Negro Rights, and urged
tile close cooperation of tie League
and the Unemployed Councils.
Negro women present were most
militant and energetic. Eighteen new
members of the council were obtained
at the meeting.
The meeting endorsed the bill and
the delegation, and elected a Negro
worker, Curtis L. Fair, member Of the
Unemployed Council, to be part Of
the delegation to present demands
for immediate relief, no evictions, free
food for children, no cutting off Of
gas or electricity, better food for the
breadlines, all public buildings and
vacant apartments for lodging the
jobless, ETC., to the mayor and city
council Tuesday at the time Of the
demonstration. John j. Jones was
elected as alternate. This demonstra-
ton will march from many points in
the city, led by the various organ
izations which endorse it, and with
banners and placards will converge
on city hall square at p. m. Tuesday.

Cities Use Radio In War on Crime
Police Broadcasting Stations
Prove Effective.

Washington.-A rapidly increasing
use of radio in the nationwide battle
against crime and racketeering is
shown by records of the radio COM
mission. These disclose that in the
short space of three years twenty
large cities and several smaller ones
have installed special police broadcast
ing stations and equipped patrolmen
on duty with apparatus enabling them
to receive orders from headquarters
within a few moments.
The proved value of the radio in
facilitating rapid communication and
in many cases assisting in the capture
of murderers and other criminals
whole activities cost the nation hum
dreds of millions of dollars annually,
has prompted thirty additional cities
to make preparation for joining in the
radio war against crime. OF this lat
ter group, twenty-five hold construc-
ton permits for the establishment of
radio stations and communication sys-
TENS.
Finally realizing the Importance of
drafting the radio for service in the
crime war, the radio commission has
set aside eight channels especially for
police work. The bands are all with
in a few meters of each other and lie
below normal broadcasting channels.
In some quarters it is predicted that
ultimately so many cities will utilize
the radio for police work that it will
be possible to evolve a nationwide

Chicago and Detroit was largely re-
spOnsible for the rapidly growing pop
ularity of police broadcasting systems
As far back as 1923 Detroit inaugu-
rated its first broadcasting system, one
of the first big ones in the country
To date, Detroit officials credit more
than 500 arrests solely TO the speed
with which radio facilitated broadcast
ing criminal reports to officers sta
toned throughout the city and Outly-
ing districts.
Chicago's first experiments, Initiated
by WGN, newspaper station, were
so successful that that city now has
three stations.
Cities now covered by police radio
stations are Pasadena, Calf, Wash
ington, Chicago, Louisville, Detroit.
Minneapolis, Cleveland, Toledo. RO-

San Francisco, Pittsburgh. Atlanta, In

One of the most extensive police
radio installations is that inaugurated
by the state police of Michigan last
winter. After a strenuous fight a
5,000-watt transmitter was opened at
Lansing last November. All state
troopers headquarters and cars were
equipped with apparatus and a signal
ing system was set in operation.

Tipping by Guests
Banned In England

Wentworth. England.-Tipping in
Wentworth Woodhouse, owned by Lord
F'itZwilliams, is not allowed.
The local home of Lord Fitz-
william is said TO be the largest
private house in England. When a
guest is asked to stay at a great house
like Woodhouse he is confronted by
the problem of tipping. The array of
servants whose attentions have to be
remembered is formidable, especially
if shooting is included in the program.
To meet this difficulty many wealthy
hosts forbid tipping. Notices explain
ing this rule are to be found in each
guests bedroom.
No tipping is allowed at Mount
Stewart, the country seat of Lord Lon
donderry.
