wireless companies take out licenses
which must be secured from the Treas

cant is prepared to do business with
, all requisite paraphernalia. Violation
of this law is made a misdemeanor.
Shingles second bill provides penal
ties for butting in on wireless messages
or interfering Herewith, and the third
bill seeks to provide against any VIC
D., lation of the secrecy of telegraph or
telephone, any divulgence of messages
or listening and giving away the sacred
privacy of the electric communication.
