WIRELESS PHONE
STILL IN INFANCY
Noise Interference Yet to Be
Overcome; Number of Mes
sages Is Limited.
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.

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."
