Probably the first question that
pops into a ladio amateur's mind i:
"Whrre can 1 get radio appartusr"
In view of the belief that the
radiophone is already patt its ex
perimental tge and hat come to
stay, as far as receiving news re
ports and entertainment by wireless
is concerned, eaatern manufacturers
of radio supplies have increased their
output to such an extent that
promise of normal shipments of
roods has been made for June, a late
bulletin states.
True, the averaee radio supply
lieue has tint a complete stock on
hand today to keen tin with the de
mand, but this month will see big
changes in that light, manufacturers
state.

The radio editor of The Bee has
found it much quicker for one to fur-
tlue complete sets than to buy

of various types of receiving sets and

Wobblies, in Convention Here,
Plan National Conclave
Here Next October.
Omaha probably will be the Mecca
of the I. W. W. next October, it was
decided at the convention today in
session at Ostoff hall, 515 North Six
teenth street.
A referendum of all members
must be taken before the question
is settled, and this referendum alio
will decide whether the convention
will be a mass formation or a dele
gate meeting.
A delegate convention would cut
the number to several hundred in
stead of thousands, it was pointed
cut.
The contention now in session in
Omaha is being held under auspices
of local No. 110, of which Pat
Xoonan is president.
Bylaws were changed, whereby
eligibility to be a delegate to the
convention is cut from a member
ship of six months to 90 days.
The local "union", has $10,000 in
its treasury, it was announced, and
t was decided to flood the local en
virons with propaganda pamphlets
numbering 40,000.
A special tax of 50 cents per'head
was voted to be placed into the fund
to be used for the defense of I. W.
VW federal prisoners. On payment
of this tax, members will be issued
stamps good from-July to October.
A fund of S200 also was voted for
the "slave market" of Chicago.

the meetings today as self-appointed
delegates of Uncle Sam and Father
