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.
The dead are Mr. and Mrs. An
drew Hammer, Stoutland, Mo., and
two smell sisters of Mrs. Hammer,
and Engineer Ring of Sapulpa, Okl.
The first official report of the ac
cident reaching the Frisco general
offices building here this morning
stated that the wreck was caused by
No. 9 failing to take the side track
at Logan. Passenger train No. 2
had arrived at Logan at 3:43 o'clock
and was standing on the main line
when No. 9, failing to take the siding,
crashed into it.
World Wheat Harvest
for 1922 to. 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. ...
China's Wheat Crop Above
Normal; Jap Finances Better
Washington, July 22. China's crop
conditions are favorable and the fi
nancial situation in Japan has im
proved, the Commerce department
was informed today by. its repre
sentatives in the far east. The wheat
crop in China is above normal. Com
mercial Attache Arnold at Pekin re
ported, thus precluding any material
demand for American aid. 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.
The condition of China's finances,
he asserted, was well reflected in the
present attempt to Utilize the esti
mated increased income in customs
tariff now under revision, as security
for a bond issue to cover defaulted
government loans.

4 Baby Full of Pep
New York, July 22. 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.

Moderation
WHEN any of us pass
beyond the Bounds
of Moderation in the con
duct of our affairs, some
body will be hurt.
It is possible to be firm
and urgent when we are
sure that we are right, but
when there is a middle
course of fairness to take
it will be a saving from .
muddles and troubles;
"Moderation," it has
been said, "is the silken
thread through the pearl
chain of all virtues."
When once we pass the
gates of moderation be
cause we know that we
may justly claim-what we
believe to be our rights,
we may lose the presence v
of the guardian angel that
has so often stood by us
and helped us out.
