We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
"I agree with you that ’the country today needs confi¬ dence* and that *good news creates confidence*, hut I doubt whether even you believe that the illegal consolidation of the Radio Trust plants and the consequent discharge of thousands of employees to make possible an increased employment in another city can be called a * major step in the restoration of normal American prosperity. *
"Both you and Secretary Davis miss the real point of our protest. Secretary Davis is not a private citizen or you might not have invited him to Camden. The Trust has made use of his appearance there to demonstrate that a cabinet official has sanction¬ ed its law-breaking. Please remember that Attorney General Mitchell in his suit to dissolve the Radio Trust charges that the very_ con¬ solidation which you celebrated at Camden was one of the steps in the Radio Trust *s conspiracy to monopolize the radio industry.
"Would you have said, during the Teapot Dome prosecution that the American people had no right to criticize a cabinet official who might so far forget his position as to participate openly in a Teapot Dome celebration by the despoilers of the Govern¬ ment* s domain even before their conviction, when, as you say, they were entitled to be regarded ’innocent until they were proven guilty? *
"Throughout its violations of the anti-trust lav/s, the Radio Trust has pretended that it was sponsored by officials of the United States Government. For eight years, it made use of this alleged sponsorship to escape prosecution by the Department of Justice. It is only within the last six months that the Attorney General of the United States swept aside these false pretenses and put an end to the Radio Trust’s immunity. It would be most unfortu¬ nate if the country were to believe that in this decisive step, he did not have the full support of his colleagues in the cabinet."

SHORT WAVES PROVE PRACTICAL IN SHORT WAVS WORK
After several years devoted to experimental work, the Telegraph and Telephone Section of the American Railway Association announces that the use of radio as a means of maintaining communica¬ tion between both ends of freight trains has been found to be practicable, and suitable apparatus had been developed for that purpose.
Up to the present time, means of communication between crews at the front and rear of freight trains has been difficult, being principally through the use of hand signals, which is not always a satisfactory method, especially in times of inclement weather or when trains stop on curves. By means of short wave radio sets located in the caboose and locomotive cab, it has now been found possible to keep both ends of a train in constant communica¬ tion, which will not onl3r add further to safety in train operation, but also will eliminate many delays.
