Forgot Two Factors
They dreamed bright dreams
but not for long. They had for
gotten two factors: the millions
of hungry, angry and determined
workers in the big basic industries
and the Communist Party of the
United States.
In the year that has elapsed since
the Washington convention, mass
strikes have swept from the Cana
dian line to the Gulf Coast, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific-and
back again. Strike waves have swept
through practically every industry.
These struggles have developed into
actual general strikes, and in still
more Of these struggles the labor
movement has teetered on the verge
Of a general strike.
Anti-Strike Record
The grip Of the Roosevelt admin
istration, of N. r. A. and its labor
arm-A. F. of L. officialdom-upon
the American working class has
slipped. Some time ago A. F. of L.
of1cialdom started out to clean up"
all the strike spots so the Saith Con-
vention could assemble in a peace
full atmosphere. They gypped the
strikers in Melons aluminium
plants-a general strike in an in
dustry. They sent Paul Smith to
Minneapolis, where Farmer Labor
Governor Olson and his martial
law, his henchmen in the Trades
and Labor Assembly, and the polit-
ical cowardice of the Trotskyite
leaders Of the union, enabled them
to prevent a city-wide general strike
and gyp the strike of truck drivers
and helpers. They sent John P.
Frey and a squad Of twelve union
officials and organizers to Butte to
try to split the craft unions away
from the general strike Of miners,
smelter workers, engineers and me-
chanics in Butte, Anaconda and
Great Falls. Here they failed.
Then the general strike in the
textile industry, in spite of all these
worthy efforts toward cooperation
of capital, management and labor
under government supervision" hit
the A. F. Of l.: offlcialdom and the
N. R. A. right between the eyes.
A. F. of L. Leadership Bankrupt
The 54th Annual Convention must
now meet on the scene of the San
Francisco general strike, in the
midst of a labor movement strong
er and more militant than ever
before, in an atmosphere not of
class peace but of class war.
The A. F. Of L. leadership is
bankrupt. 1t is in crisis. This has
happened before, but this time mil
lions of workers, engaged in mighty
struggles for elementary rights, fresh
from these struggles or about to
plunge into new battles, know this
leadership is bankrupt
This is the main difference be-
tween the 53Td and the 54th Annual
A. F.. Of L. Convention.

TYPED MESSAGE
 SENT BY RADIO
Commerce Heads Conduct Experiments to Dissem-
 mate Weather Data

Washington (UP)-Experiments looking to radio transmission of the facsimile of a typed, or hand written, message as method of disseminating weather information now are being conducted by the commerce department.
 Eugene l.. Vidal. director of air commerce.. announced that ra- dio facsimile transmission system already has been given favorable preliminary test by the bureau of air commerce.
 Facsimile transmission is based on the scanning beam principle. It's peculiar advantage over other systems of radio transmission in which written or typed messages are reproduced automatically is that messages may be ent through static, or heavy back ground noise, and still be legible at the receiving end.
 Rex Martin, assistant director of air commerce, explained the system as follows:
 "The message to be sent is typed or written on g strip of paper tape. The tape with the message is fed into the transmitting set, where the scanning beams passes rapidly over the letters and causes radio impulses to be broadcast.
 At the receiving end." Martin continued. ''the impulses are trans lated into extremely narrow black lines, which make up the separate letters of the words. The scanning beam passes over each letter nu. merous times and the character appearing on the tape in the re- ceiving machine is made up of a similar number of tiny black lines."
 The system transmitted 76 words a minute during tests.

DROUTH STATES HAVE BIG BANK
 ROLL FOR 1884
Federal Aid Puts Cash Into the Pockets of
 Stricken Farmers

Kansas City, Mo. (UP) "A abil- Hon dollar pocketbook!
 That Is what farmers of six drouth states of the Midwest are carrying around this fall. It is a bigger roll than they had last year and many times bigger than the one they hade in 1882. And 1t is surprising to the farmers and the merchants. Because of the ter- rife drouth toll both classes had expected little cash income.
 The states that are finding a healthy cash balance in the rural sections are Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
 Expert Figures
 Figures compiled by experts place the combined income of the sixv states for 1884 at approxi- mately 1,356,422,000. The farm in- come for the same states in 1883 was $1,29O,311,0 ,000. Thus the burned out farmers will have approximately $66, 100000 more to spend than they had in 1932.
 The reasons are higher prices now commanded by farm products and the federal benefits from the AAA for crop reduction and the corn-hog program. Between the two many farmers will break ahead of last year, and because of the AAA benefits virtually all will have some cash.
 Of the states listed, Texas is the exception to the rule of greater income. While figures are inconi- plete and, estimates subject to re- vision, state and private estimates indicate a 1884 income of about $396,000, ,000. In 1883 1t was $44S,- 320,O00.
 Iowa's Income
 Iowa's farm income will be ap- proximately $33S, ,167,O00, the total helped nicely by the $75,000,000 in corn-hog money now being dis tributed. The 1883 income was $325.600,000.
 The income of Kansas farmers will be about $225,000, 900, an in- crease of about $5,000.000 over last year. In Oklahoma an income ed, entrusted with $122,755,0 ,000 in $170, 100000. Last years yields netted, but s1s2, 2,00O, ,ooO. In Mis- souri an estimated farm income of $50, 100000 will top that of last year by approximately $4,000. 900.
 The better times are reflected in bank clearings and bank deposits, which are up generally in most of the livestock and industrial cen ters of the six states. Merchants report the farmers are spending their money for needed supplies.

TULSA PLANNING
 FOR SYMPHONY
Despite Financial Worries Orchestra Plans for
 Winter Series

Tulsa, Okla. (UP). Tulsa's symphony orchestra. which broad cast twice in August on a national radio chain, has laid plans for U winter concert series despite finan- cial troubles.
 More than half the 65 members play for the fun of 1t. Drought and heat may drive away the crowds, tornadoes may wreck the scenery for their operatic affiliate. depression may blanket the enter prise four years running, but the orchestra plays on.
 It is the nucleus for Tulsa's Civic Opera company, one Of the two such large-scale affairs in the state. Oklahoma City has the
 Carlo Edwards, director. who came here from the Metropolitan Opera company. New York. said the winter concerts would start soon after October 1 and would end with presentation of a light opera, eight weeks later.
 The orchestra and the opera company have presented two op- eras this summer. in the open air at skelly stadium. of University of Tulsa.
 University students working un- der professional direction built and painted most of the scenery.
 The orchestra ranks high. but like other similar cultural enter prises, 1t has its financial trou- bles. Members who dray pay were proimsed regular salaries for their series, but only small payments were possible.
