WIRELESS BILL IN SENATE
IMPRESSION THAT 1T WILL NOT
PASS THIS SESSION.
Monopoly Features Discussed at
Hearing Given by Commerce Com
mittee This Afternoon.

A hearing was given by the Senate
committee on commerce today on the
House bill requiring all ocean steamers
to be equipped with wireless telegraph.
Commissioner E T Chamberlain of the
bureau of navigation of the. Department
of Commerce and Labor and Representa-
tive Burke of Pennsylvania supported the
bill. and E. II. Duff. representing coast
wise shipping companies and Capt. S. Il.
Darby of New York, representing wire
less telephone systems, asked that the bill
be so amended as to provide for The
equipment of either rcdio-telegraph or
radic-telephon:c communication.
The question of whether the passage
of the bill would enable the wireless
telegraph companies to build up Il
monopoly was discussed at some length
and the impression was created that
this phase OF the Legislation will cause
it to be held up SO far as the present
session of Congress is concerned.
The Senate committee favors an amend
ment providing that there must be COM
pulSOry interchange of. message between
rival wireless companies Installing lDStru-
mentS on different ships in time OF dis
tress or emergency. Whether there eX-
lists distress or an emergency requiring
such interchange would be determined by
the master of the vessel and not left to
The representatives of the wireless con-
Germs having instruments on the ships.
Capt. Darby told the committee that
there is no danger OF d monopoly In the
wireless telephone business, as there are
now five or SIX companies Wiling TO
guarantee successful operation of these
Instruments for "a distance of 100 miles.
He denied that this method of radio COM
