Great Britain’s decision to unify its cable and radio systems and place them in the hands of a great private holding and operating company under govern- ment supervision created considerable interest among American Government officials dealing with communications problems. A counter movement in this country for the purpose of competing with the British merger for interna- tional traffic has many times been dis- cussed, and there have been intima- tions that the subject might be brought before Congress. The cable-radio merger of the British Empire is said to have been forced by the competition that cables were suf- fering from the Government-owned beam radio system for transmitting messages directionally over great spans. When the cable interests threatened to scrap some of their strategically valuable lines an imperial wireless and cable board was set up to study the situation and to recommend a remedy. ‘The vote of the British House of Commons, approving the merger over strenuous opposition from the Labor party, was the direct result of recom- mendations of the board. Since the system will embrace practically all of the wireless facilities of the whole Brit- ish Empire, the approval of Canada, South Africa, Irish Free State, Aus- tralia, New Zealand and India must yet be obtained. It is clear that these governments will ratify, inasmuch as they were represented on the board and concurred in its proposal to form the great private company. Lease Radio System. ‘The communications company, as the merger will be known, will lease the beam system from the government—a radio service that has consistently been taking traffic from the cables and vir- tually impoverishing them. It will pur- chase the Pacific cables, the West In- dian cable and the British post office’s Atlantic cables. The whole British Em- pire, already linked by a world-wide directional radio system, whose effi- ciency can be judged from reports that its beam transmissions consistently ride through disturbances like the Indian monsoons, is made a communication chain ‘of vast magnitude and perhaps leading importance in the world. Informed Government officials, mind- ful of the anti-trust laws making a unification of wire and wireless interests illegal for this country, and pointing to the ‘specific terms of the radio act pro- hibiting mergers of cable and radio, GREEN IS IN FAVOR OF FIVE-DAY WEEK A. F. of L. President Says System Is “Both Practical and Possible.” By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, November 24—In a formal statement issued today, William Green, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, declared that the five-day week is “both practical and possible.” The statement said the five-day week is a “necessary accompaniment of in- creasing use of machines and mechan- ical power,” and declared that “sub- stantial progress” toward its adoption had been made during the past two years, : “Two major trends for which labor is responsible for watching,” he said, “are that hours of work be increas- ingly shortened in order that mechan- ical progress may raise standards of human welfare, and that wage in- creases shall correspond to increasing productivity. “This latter purpose is both a meas- ure of economic justice and a provision necessary to provide business with enough buyers for the increased out- put of industries.” Mr. Green said that 514 local unions report that their 165,029 members are now working a 5-day, 40-hour week. Points to Gains. “These striking gains, made almost entirely since the federation first an- nounced its five-day week policy at the Detrolt convention two years ago, prove that the establishment of the five-day weledk is both practical and possible,” he said. Committee meetings furnished the only activity of the annual convention of the federation today. The conven- tion recessed yesterday until Monday after receiving reports from all com- mittees whose work has been completed. President Green, Frank Morrison, secretary, and other labor leaders will speak tomorrow from New Orleans pul- pits. The custom of in the churches is followed whenever the an- nual eonvention is in session on Sunday. Secretary Davis Speaks. A man who hoboed his way to New Orleans, 36 years ago, to get a dollar- a-day job driving a mule team, deliv- ered the principal speech here yesterday at the annual convention of the T- ican Federation of Labor. He was James J. Davis, Secretary of . were not willing to say that the British | Labo! merger means that the United States ought to sanction a similar merger. Statements of leaders in the radio field were recalled, however, indicating that such a project may be laid before Con- gress by communications companies lseekmx amendment of the existing aws. ‘The real effect of the British merger is that it places in commercial hands all . | communications exterior to Great Brit- ain, enabling them to compete at an advantage with the non-unified Amer- ican cable and radio groups. These must “go it alone,” not only for message traffic but for exclusive “landing” con- cessions in places like South America. Conceivably, the British might keep American radio stations out of many countries by simply pointing to their superior strength in both cable and radio flelds throughout the world. Requires Cable Maintenance. ‘There is, however, a proviso in the British agreement which requires main- tenance of the cables. This is very costly, and will serve to hold rates up. But if & rate warfare does ensue the lowering of American rates will inevi- tably hurt American cable business. The cable people so far have disclaimed any ill effects from radio competition, even though radio has cut rates some 35 per cent in recent years, The radio interests themselves say that they sim- ply are taking up a share of a nor- mally increased burden of traffic. - There was only slight disposition here to link with the British develop- ment Canada’s demands for 50 per cent of the continental short waves that were to bedevided at the forthcoming conference at Ottawa. It is possible that Canada wants these circuits partly for a transcontinental beam link in the beam circuits clearing through London for relay acrozs Canada to Aus- tralia and New Zealand. On the other hand, the Canadians made their de- mand several days ago before the House of Commons voted, and Canadian offi- cials visiting Washington have repeat- edly said that they proposed to use short waves for communicating with their frontier outposts and not where land wire facilities are available. At this time it appears as though the Canadian ‘'and American governments have reached a deadlock on the short wave allocation project, and that the conferences planned at Ottawa late this month or early in December will not be called. Canada, perhaps in reprisal for the meager allotment of exclusive wave lengths it has obtained fog broad- casting under the much-protest gen- tlemen's agreement with the United States, has refused to confer unless it receives assurances beforehand that the Dominion will get half the high-fre- juency channels that will be available O B orrisns.” 1098, by N opyright, ‘1028, P awspaber Alliante,) meriean ROCKET CAR EXPLODES. “Thirty-six years ago I happened to be in New Orleans with a little labor matter on my mind,” he sald. “I was a youngster very much in need of a Jjob and anxiously hunting one.” Secretary Davis explained he had been an iron puddler in Birmingham, but a dispute had closed the mill. “A number of us came by way of a side-door Pullman to New Orleans, where we got jobs working on the levee. I was driving a pair of mules that dragged a dirt scraper. Never before had I driven mules, but I had to have a job and was willing to try anything.” Turning to the settlement of indus- trial disputes, Secretary Davis said his eight years in office had taught him that “force will never work.” the | of Chinese and “excluded “We must arrive at our industrial con- | yiq; clusions in a peaceful and harmonious way,” he added. “All our problems can be solved without resort to violence if we but sit about the council table and think in terms of what is best for all concerned, the people as well as our- selves,” Resolutions Passed.

Another resolu- tion adopted would prevent smuggling ‘Europeans” into the United States. The conven- tion approved a resolution testing passage by Congress of any bills intro- duced intended to repeal “the important features of the La Folleite seaman’s act.” —_— A FASTER AND MORE CONVENIENT TRAIN TO Atlanta and Birmingham, commencing December 2nd.

ASKS RATIFIGATION OF KELLOGG PACT Capper Says Senate Should Act on Treaty to Repu- diate War. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 24.—Sen- ator Arthur Capper of Kansas declared last night that the Kellogg multilateral treaty, or pact, of Paris. should receive “the, ready ratification of the United States Senate.” He spoke at the annual dinner conference of the- Academy of Political Science. “We are at last upon the paths that lead to enduring international peace,” said Mr. Capper, adding that the “Unit- ed States can and should share in this, the greatest turning point in the history of nations.” Asserting that the Nation “has regis- |4 tered its popular ratification of the treaty and its sincere np&reehflan of Secretary Kellogg's part this great msrntl;‘:"' 2he Sex;lpu;rp“s‘nid that r; ps the stronges! ar sup; of the treaty was coming from the Middle West. Disagrees With Crities. He disagreed with critics of the treaty that “the renunciation of war here set forth is a mere rhetorical or empty gesture.” “On the contrary,” he sald, “it is, I think, a most real turning point in the fundamentals of international dealing. ‘The consequences will not all follow im- mediately upon the signature or ratifi- cation of the treaty, but the treaty does provide a new basis for diplomacy which will be slowly and positively worked out in a growing atmosphere of confidence as the world adjusts itself to the new order of things. “The nations at war in this indus- trial era, upon which we have only Just entered, do not decide their issues solely upon tl ttlefield as in the past. In short, war has ceased a directable and _controllable instru- hm:;xc of policy and, therefore, the time | bein; come to renounce it as an instru- ment of policy by the civilized nations.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Hivgmeds of president Goolidae to an- wi of President Cool an- nuunm plans for the future. He has made it clear that he will not decide on the many suggestions and opportunities that have been offered him until after March 4. The reason is that the President feels it would be indelicate of him to make any business or professional connection or to enter into any contracts or en- gagements of a personal character while he still holds the office of President of the United States. 1t is not that he would be unable to differentiate in his decisions on ques- tions affecting public policy as they might relate to his_ future business affiliations, but he feels that the Presi- dent ought not to be embarrassed by thetpresence of any such possible con- flict. No man_ever held the presidency of the United States who had a_higher regard for the ethics of his office. Mr. Coolidge did not, for_ instance, make an active campaign for himself in 1924, and he did not, under the same line of reasoning, make a campaign for the candidate who was to be his suc- cessor. He did not intervene in the con- tests between candidates before the na- tional conventions. And if the truth were known, his famous I-do-not- choose-to-run statement was prompted as much by a desire to keep the presi- dential office aloof from the criticism of seeking continuation in power as it was a disinclination to continue in pub- lic_service at this time. In recent years the practice of en- ng men in the Government service before they actually terminate their period of employment has been the sub- ject of much discussion. While it is true . 7 COMMITTEES IN HOUSE . TO BE REAPPORTIONED Speaker Longworth Announces Plans for New Congress Because of Big G. 0. P. Majority. Qwing to the increased Republican majority, which will be more than 100 in the Seventy-first Congress, Speaker Longworth said today that it will € necessary to change the pro 8 of Republican and Democratic 7 mbers on the larger committees of tif> House in order that committee assi\aments may be found for the new mem¥Wrs. Such a procedure was adop be= fore when the majority in the Ho%ee was enlarged. The larger committees now have 21 members, 13 of whom are Republicans and 8 Democrats. Speaker Longworth expects that an agreement will be reached whereby one Democrat will be taken away from each commit- tee and a Republican added, making the partisan proportion of the larger comtxsnlt(ees 14 Republicans and 7 Demo= crats. WELCH BILL STAND TOLD. Senator King Gives Views on Ine creasing Salaries. Although Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, expressed disapproval of the in- crease in salaries from $7,500 to $9,000 obtained by the District Commissioners under the Welch law last Summer, he stated today that he had no criticism to make of the Commissioners - ally, but had merely been onposfi the general tendency to increase of high Government officials in recent years. During the last session, Senator opposed a separate bill to raise the salaries of the Commissioners and it was not passed. The Welch law was & general pay increase for Federal and District employes and the city heads, P R SRR ‘The Brooklyn Federation of Churched wants the prohibition enforcement staft in Long Island and Staten Island in- creased from 12 men to 100. that men who resign to enter private life can not always volun seek these positions and are frequently ten- dered offers by persons with whom they become acquainted in the conduct of Government business, it is also true that on more than one occasion con- gressional criticism has been visited upon Government officers who on re- signing immediately appeared as attor- neys or business representatives to prac- tice before the veadzp-nmencs or bu- reaus in which they themselves were employed. In some instances Congress has en- acted legislation preventing such per- sons from practicing for at least two years before the governmental us to_which they had been attached. Mr. Coolidge has many offers under consideration. Some, it is unlikely, he will accept as for instance, writing public speaking. He means to enter the realm of silence with even more intensity tham characteristic of his as been - tration. He will try for the record of the “most silent” of all our ex- Presidents.
