COURT REFUSES RCA INJUNCTION
Justice Jennings Bailey of the District Supreme Court on Friday denied to the National Broadcasting Company, the Radio Corporation of America, the Radio Commu¬ nications Inc. and the Radio-Victor Inc. a preliminary injunction in a suit filed last week to enjoin the Commission from holding hearings on applications for re¬ newal of licenses by these companies.
The District Supreme Court, while refusing to issue a preliminary injunction, retained jurisdiction over the suit and has permitted the plaintiffs to file sup¬ plementary bills.
Hearings on the seven broadcasting and seven commercial and experimental ap¬ plications will be held by the Commission on Monday, June 15.
During the week the Commission granted the Radio Protective Association, the Journal Company (WTMJ), the Chicago Federation of Labor and Congressman Frank E. Reid of Illinois, petitions to intervene in next week’s hearings.
The Commission also announced the reasons for the hearings as follows;
"(1) To determine whether or not said apulicant is a company or corpora¬ tion or any subsidiary thereof which has been finally adjudged guilty by a Federal Court of unlawfully monopolizing or atteT.pt ing unlawfully to monopolize radio conmunic,ation, directly or indirectly, through the control of the manufacture or sale of radio apparatus, through exclusive traffic arrangements, or by any other means to have been using unfair m.ethods of competition within the meaning of Section 13 of the Radio Act of 1927.
"(2) To determine whether or not said applicant is eligible, under the terms of the Radio Act of 1927, to receive the instrument of authorization applied for.
"(3) To determ.ine whether or not the Radio Act of 1927 prohibits the granting to said applicant of the instrument of authorization applied for.
