LABOR'S RADIO PERMIT TO Be
CONSIDERED IN The NEAR FUTURE

LOS ANGELES-Organized labor
is anxious regarding the status OF the
application OF the Los Angeles Central
Labor Council to the Federal Commu-
nications Commission at Washington
for a permit to erect a radio station,
to be known as the Voice OF Labor"
on which organized labor would be able
to release its programs and also enter
the field commercially, to some extent.
Word came from Washington this
week that several applications for per
mits in Los Angeles and vicinity from
other interests had been refused by the
commission, even after examiners had
reported favorably. There is no quota
any more for n section, on account
Of an amendment made to the law by
the recent session of Congress. 1t is
reported the Commission had decided
no further general commercial stations
were needed in this section.
That is 0 detrimental to labor's re
quest, is the opinion of President
Sherman, Secretary Buzzell and others
who are officers of the Voice OF La
Dor" On the contrary, it seems to be
the opinion that when the application
comes up, probably during the coming
month, the way will have been pretty
well cleared to give favorable consid-

Washington, who has been, at direc-

fusing several others.
No quota has been set up for any
state, and a numt r OF applications
have been granted recently, according
to report. In California, the following
are listed KROY, Sacramento;

On the occasion of the last appear
ance in behalf of Los Angeles labor
before the commission on June %,
postponement was ordered to complete
certain formalities. This has all been
attended to, and every legal require

set for the next hearing, owing to the
usual summer vacation period, etc, it
is thought it will be up some time next

$500 Lynch Verdict
Will Not Cure MODS

NEW YORK-A verdict OF $500
awarded to the family of Freddie
Moore in the federal court at New
Orleans, La, should not be regard
ed as a cure for mob violence, or
substitute for an anti-lynching
law. declared the NaACP here to-
day.
Moore was lynched at Labadie-
vile, Louisiana in 1888. Afterwards
it was found that he was innocent.
The only reason his parents were
able to bring suit in a federal court
and recover damages from the
sheriff was because the sheriff was
a citizen Of Louisiana while they
were citizens of Arkansas. The. suit
was permitted under the diversity
of citizenship clause in federal
law
1T must be remembered" said
the NAACP statement, that those
lynchings take place in the home
state of the victims, and therefore.
the family cannot rely upon the
diversity of citizenship clause. They
cannot go into federal court. A
verdict like the Louisiana one hap
pens in very rare Instances. The
protection granted by this clause
is no substitute for federal anti
lynching bill, and will have practi-
cally no effect upon mobs. What
is needed is federal anti-lynch-
ing law giving relatives of all vic
Tins the right to sue in federal
courts no matter where they live.
Likewise the Moore case only
covers cases where the sheriff OF
his deputies are actually implicat-
ed in the lynching. It does not COW
