Radio Station
Joins Fi,ht on
Block Booking
Contest Begun by Movie Theaters
Taken Up by WCCO Con
tract Cancelled
Minneapolis, Minn. "Block book-
-exclusively the programs of a single1
"chain system have met resistance
here. Station WCCO, one or tno
most powerful in the Middle est j
and pioneer station of the Northwest,
lias cancelled its contract with the
National Broadcasting Company and!
has begun to use programs of the!
Columbir. chain. j
11. A. Bellows, manager of the sta
tion, and former member of the Na
tional Radio Commission, regards the
change as a victory for his station
in its resistance to "block booking"
which,, it is recalled, has also stirred (
the motion picture industry for eev
eral years. !
Mr. Bellows desired to use a por- '
tion of the programs of the National j
Broadcasting Company, with some
Columbia programs and other offer
ings. He notified the N. B. C. of this
desire and officials of that company
declined to agree to the arrange
ment. They insisted WCCO must use
the National programs they assigned
to the station and declined to agree
to any arrangement which would
give Mr. Bellows the right to use
Columbia offerings.
Demand Is : Unreasonable
"This demand is unreasonable, has
been unreasonable all the time," Mr.
rnlln.i-., call in an interview, "and
,r.. v.a Tollnnil nonnlc strtnil Tint.
so I found it necessary to cancel my
contract and get 'chain service else
where. I refused to allow this com
pany to dictate to me any longer
about the programs I am to put on
the air. "l
"After all, ratflo' listeners are the
real directors' 9f the stations and
every manager'fahould make an effort
to give his own cirele of fans the
programs they demand. In my case.
I found the people of the Northwest
wanted a more diversified program
and I tried to give it to them. Al
though I was forced to cancel th
National programs, we have the Col
umbia offerings and so far my lis
teners are thoroughly satisfied."
Explains to Listeners
Following the - first Columbia
broadcast from WCCO, Mr. Bellows
made a statement,' addressed to his
listeners, in which he explained the
situation. He- asked for comment
from Northwest listeners and on re
plies received he based his assertion
that current programs are more sat
isfactory to WCCO listeners than
were those previously offered.
As quickly as the WCCO-National
contract was cancelled, KSTP, which
Y maintains studios in both Minneap
olis and St. Paul, entered into an
agreement with the National Com
pany and programs of this "chain"
have been radiocast from this sta
tion. "I 'have not given up my fight
against the block booking idea," Mr.
Bellows added. "It is all wrong and
will have to be remedied and I hope
to be able to force a change." lie
is en route to New York on a mission
which he described as "of great im
port" to WCCO and its listeners.
BEIDGES IS COMPLETED
The new bridge across the Weep
ing Water Creek just north of town
is practically completed and will be
ready for travel when the grading
is done. The workmen have been
hard at work almost every day since
they first began work and according
to their statements this morning,
they expected to complete their work
by tonight. After they finish the day
the only thing left for them to do is
remove some of their forms and do
some uaintins. which will be done

1 The bridge was constructed by the
Monarch Engineering Co., of Auburn
. with O. W. Finney superintending
the work. It Is over a hundred feet
long, wide enough for two cars to
comfortably pass, with 4 concrete
road bed. It is a splendid structure
and will be a big improvement to
the highway leading south out of
town.
The grading for the new bridge
will require a good five feet fill for
a considerable distance at the north
end and a large amount of grading
. will be reauired at the south. It
does not seem to be known when this
work will be accomplished but it is
probable that it win.be done in the
spring. However, this is the time of

Writ at Lincoln
Restraining Order Prevents State
From Collecting Assessment
Before January 7
Lincoln. Dec. 21. Suit to enjoin ;
Clarence Bliss, secretary of the state j
department of trade and commerce, j
from collecting the special bank !
guaranty fund assessment was insti- j
tuted in district court here today ;
by attorneys representing 439 state !
banks of Nebraska. j
A temporary restraining order was ;
forwith granted by district Judge i
Stewart. This will prevent state of- i
ficials from attempting to collect the j
assessment until January 7, the date j
set for hearing the application for .
injunction. j
The suit does not involve the reg- ;
ular guaranty fund levy, amounting ,
to one-twentieth of 1 per cent on !
average deposits, which is to be made j
January 1. It has heretofore been
announced the banks would not con
test the regular assessments.
Levied December 15
The special levy which the banks
are contesting amounts to one-fourth
of 1 per cent on average deposits.
It was levied December 15.
Numerous reasons were cited in
the petition why the banks should
not be further subjected to such
special assessments, among these be
ing: That as levied in recent years
they mount to 8 per cent of the
entire capital stock of the state
banks and exceed their annual net
