GREAT RADIUS COVERED Most Practical Present Use, Says Engineer, Is to Give Means or Communication to Small .' Vessels at Sea. SAX FRANCISCO, Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) John J. Carty, chief engineer cf the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, speaking tonight o the achievement last night when Honolulu was reached by wireless telephone from the Government radio station at Arlington, Va., used figures to point out the possibilities of the future de velopment of wireless telephony. "The distance from Washington to Honolulu is 4900 miles," he said. "Using Arlington as the center of a circle having a radius of 4900 miles and pre-supposing that we shall be able eventually to talk an equal dis tance in all directions, the circle will include London, Christiania, Stockholm, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Belgrade, Sophia, Rome, Madrid, Lisbon and much of Northern Africa. It will reach to within only a few miles of Petrograd, and to the south the circle swings to a point below Buenos Aires and to the north its area passes through Alaska and the northernmost point of Green land. Japan Within Probabilities. "Should the Arlington station be duplicated at Seattle, it is then rea sonable to suppose that the radius of transmission from Seattle would be fqual to the radius of transmission from Arlington. Within a radius of 4900 miles from Seattle are included Yokohama and Tokio. "We have gone into this thing to discover the ultimate possibilities of wireless telephony and of course, while it naturally must be understood that this art is in its beginning, there are , two limitations which will retard the development. The first of these is noise. At the present time the trans mission of messages by wireless tele phony is possible only under favorable weather conditions. There is a divi sion of opinion among learned men as to whether these disturbances can be reduced to any appreciable extent, but the concensus of opinion is that we can substantially reduce this inter ference. dumber of MeMHasen Limited. "The second limitation is the num ber of messages which can be sent simultaneously. It is necessary in wireless telegraphy to use only one vibration one note, one tune. The human voice, n the contrary, has as many as 2000 different vibrations. Therefore, the number of messages that can be taken at the same time will be limited to a few thousand, as ngainst a billion messages which may be sent simultaneously when only one vibration is used. "The greatest usefulness of wireless telephony at the present time will be found in giving small boats, such as fishing boats on the Grand Banks, and even motorboats of good size, the abil ity to communicate with shore and be tween themselves. Wireless telephony will be developed in time so that the skipper of a lobster smack equipped with a small motor will be able to communicate with shore or with life saving stations in case of emergency.

Our New Location, 266 Morrison Street JOHN D JB., HAS PLAN SEW INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM TO BE OFFERED MINE OFFICIALS. Lines Under Which Workmen Will Be Treated Broader, store Demo cratic 'I'll a ii Unionism. DENVER, Sept. 30. --An industrial plan which John D. Rockefeller. Jr., characterized as "broader and more democratic than unionism" will be pre sented to officers and employes of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company at Pu eblo Saturday. Announcement of the meeting- was made by Mr. Rockefeller today. At the conference besides Mr. Rockefeller will be the principal op erating officials of the company, all the mine superintendents and the grievance representatives of the va rious Colorado camps. Between 50 and 60 men are expected to attend. In discussing the meeting Mr. Rocke feller declined to make public in ad vance any details of the industrial plan which has been worked out by him self and W. L. Mackenzie-King in col laboration with President J. F. Wel born and other officers of the company. He said, however, that it was in no sense an attack on union labor. "At the outset of the late strike in 1913," he said, "the company took the position that every man was entitled to work on his own' terms and con ditions that he should be free to Join a union or not. That position, when ex plained by me before the Congressional strike investigation committee in 1914. was misconstrued in some quarters as a statement that we were fighting or ganized labor. "W hat my statement meant and what the position of the company officers meant, was that we did not think those of our employes who did not care to join a union should be forced to do so. us would have been the case if he had signed the contract tendered by the t'nited Mineworkers of America. This is the position which I always have maintained." Do you mean that you will never in the future be willing to grant recog nition to the United Mineworkers?" the mineowner was asked. "I never have said that I will not recognize the union in the future," was the reply. "If the time ever should come when that course should seem to be the best for the common good of em ployers and employes, the door is not locked against its adoption. "Unionism," continued Mr. Rocke feller "benefits only one class of work men those who belong to the union. Our plan takes in all men Irrespective of whether they join a union or not. Unionism benefits one group, not all the workmen. Our thought has been to de vise something absolutely democratic, something that will take in all work men, whether they belong to the union or not."
