THE SUNDAY BEE: OMAHA. JULY 23. 1922. 0 A' t; 1 Yf I .General Strike Urged by Central Union of Omaha Resolution Calling for Coun tryWide Walkout of All Labor Panned at Mr fling. A resolution tilling (r a national ftrike at the earliest poitible date "in order that this Wirure upon the Anifrican home may ene.". was adopted by the Omaha Central La bor union meeting Friday niht. The Central Labor union call up r.n the executive council o( the American Federation "immediately ( 'et in motion the machinery which nil bring the full power o( labor id near in one grand national pro tect acatnat the alavery condiiic-ns that are bring imposed upon us." Lockout Attempted. Commenting on the resolution fol lowing iti passage, John M. Gibb, prrtident of the Central Labor union, declared that he and other member of the body were convinced that a national lockout it bring attempted by big business in this country in an effort to break unions. He called attention to the reported wholesale discontinuance of trains, asserting that this was virtually a lockout aimed at the trainmen, who automatically are bring thrown out of employment. "We feel that we might as well go out now as be thrown out later," said Gibb. The resolution calls attention to strikes of the railway department of the American Federation of Labor, the textile workers in New England and the United Mine Workers of America, and to "many other strikes, authorized and unauthorized, that "are spreading and fast becoming universal." . To Use Full Power. "The president of the United States now informs us through the medium of the public cress that it is his our- i Range of Radio Is Chief Interest Bfjsimifr in WireltM Firt Studiei How Far Rrcrnrr Will Li ten in on Concerts. The first question atked by the radio enthusiast about receiving ap paratus is generally relative to, its ranrg. The dealer may answer this by giving some attractive distance, or he may be more honest and tell his cus tomer the limitations of the appara tus that might be ixiircteH (mm it uncier varying conditions. The fact is, however, that the range of any set, no matter how good or how poor, cannot be guaranteed and an estimate is no more than a guess. Two sets, identical in every respect, may have a widely different range when set up in different localities, lou may have a set that gives very good results, and you move to a house maybe only a few blocks dis tant, only to find that your set is al most useless. This may be due to the fact that you were not able to erect as good an aerial in your new luiauuu as m your old. or vour ground may not be as good. Possibly mere are nigh buildings about you that cut off a portion of the wave. Under given conditions you can shortly ascertain the working or re liable range of your set. You will find that there are some stations that you can hear with practically the same intensity under almost all con ditions. This distance you may call your reliable range, although it may seem considerably lower than the range advertised by irresponsible dealers and manufacturers. Determining Factors.. At times you may hear remarkable pose to use the full power ot the gov- distances jvith quite good intensity, eminent, both military and judicial, j lut these Tesults cannot be depended to intimidate and oppress a free peo pie and to bend them to his will,"' continues the resolution, "that the American standard of living must be reduced. The doors of the United States treasury have been thrown open for the relief of big business as represented by the railroad own ers and we are facing a condition bordering on slavery." Copies of he resolution are to be made, telegraphed and mailed to the American Federation of Labor and all its departments, the brotherhoods of locomotive engineers, firemen, trainmen, conductors, to every cen tral labor union in the United States for endorsement and support, il was decided. ''We pledge our lives, our liberty and our sacred honor to the estab lishment, maintenance and defense of a living rate of wages, in the United States," concludes the resolution. 3. Die in Railway i Crash in Missouri; Springfield, Mo., July 22. (By A. P.) Engineer C. H. King .and four passengers, all members of one fam ily, were killed and several passengers injured early today when St. Louis San Francisco railroad passenger trains No. 2, Texas special, east bound, and No., 9, Meteor, west bound, met in a head-on collision 200 yards east af Logan, Mo., -where No. 2 was waiting on the main line.

Show Increase Washington, July 22. The esti mated 1922 wheat harvest for all countries for which figures are avail able shows a slight increase over production for the same countries in 1921. Department of Agriculture sta tistics just issued show these coun tries' crops of wheat will aggregate about 2.753,386,000 bushels this year compared with 2,724,506,000 bushels last year and with a five-year average ending with 1913 of 2,557,577,000 bushels. Russia is not included in the estimates. Wheat acreage for the countries for which statistics are available is about 191,000.000 acres, which shows a general decrease com pared with 1921. Hitchcock Makes Attack on Seal Dyeing Company W.-v'.insJton, July 22. An investi gation of' the contract between the federal government and the Fouke -ompany of St. Louis, under which ;he Company received $20 for treat ing and dyeing the skin of each seal killed by the government annually on the Pribiloff Island was urged .-esterdav in the senate by Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, and promised by Chairman Jones of the commerce committee. int?r Hitchcock charged that through this irrangement the St. Louis company cceived the lion's share ot the profits from the industry. Australia Bans German Consuls as Trade Agents Loudon, July 22.-The Australian government has refused to agree to 'the "appointment of German consuls in Australia, says a Reuter's dispatch from Melbourne. Premier William Hughes, w hile not asserting that trade never can be re sumed with Germany, declares tnat the Australian ministry docs not feel tailed upon to "grease the wheels for German trade. isiirant Motors Interested in Locomobile Shakeup New York. July 22,-rReports that the Durant Motors, Inc., was to be come interested in the . reorganiza tion of the Locomobile Company of America are confirmed by the an nouncement today that William C Durant haa5sumed the presidency ci the Locomobile company, upon, so, therefore, thev must he classified under the variable range of your set. There are many things which de termine the range, among which are atmospheric conditions, time of day, local conditions, neighboring obstruc tions, topography of the surrounding country, and the nature of the aerial and ground. Reception or transmis sion can seldom be carried on over as great distances during the daytime as during the night. This is thought to be due to the ionization of the air particles due to the action of the sun's rays, this effect causing a par tial absorption of the waves. Build ings with steel frameworks also tend to absorb waves. The topography of the country has a decided effect on radio. Waves travel much more readily over water than over land. Metal and mineral deposits, some times cause absorption losses. The importance of a good aerial and ground cannot be overestimated, as this greatly affects the range of, a set.. You cannot expect to get as good re sults with' an indoor aerial or a loop as with one that is located outdoors. SPARKS Appreciation of the daily an nouncement of baseball scores at 5:15 p. m. by The Omaha Bee from the Omaha Grain Exchange station, WAAW, is evident from the numer ous letters from amateurs in central western states acknowledging the benefit of the announcement. Radio amateurs are kindly asked to write brief stories of experiences they meet with in receiving from various stations. Send the stories to the Radio Editor, Omaha Bee. ...

It is not now expected, he declared, that 'iere will be any decided improvement in business conditions generally in China until sometime after the fall or the beginning of the next year.

D.. July 22. (Special Telegram.) Adison Adair, charged with robbery committed upon O. P. Egnew Wednesday, was given pre liminary hearing this afternoon, pleading not guilty.

David Ferber wheeled his baby carriage down Fourth street and had so many men looking under the top to see what it contained that the police got suspicious. They looked in, took David to the police station and there told the lieutenant that while Ferber had a carriage and a bottle, he had no baby. He was selling liquor out of the bottle at 50 cents a "shot," they de clared, so he was taken to court and held in $1,000 bail for the grand jury on a charge of violat- ing the prohibition laws.
