AMERICA LEADS ALL
IN THE NUMBER OF.
WIRELESS STATIONS
Navy Department Bulletin
Lists Every Station in
the World.

Wireless stations of the world, in
Guiding shore points, merchant vessels,
revenue cutters, and vessels of the
United States, are listed in publica-
ton Just issued by the Bureau Of
Steam Engineering of the Navy De-
partment.
TO the army and navy man, and to
the person in private life Interested in
the wonderful advance of wireless tel
egraphy, the publication is interesting.
1t gives the points where stations are
located, the call letters of each, the
distance, in nautical miles, message
can be flashed, the wave lengths In
meters, and the character of stations,
whether commercial, private, or the
property of some government. The list
is so complete that 1t gives every wire
less station on the globe. 1t VIII prove
valuable to ships using wireless. In that
the nearest station could be located and
aid called in case OF distress.
Since the inception of wireless teleE-
raphy as a means of communication
this Government has taken great inter
est, and today has greater number
of stations than any other country.
The largest shore commercial stations
in this country are located at the fol
lowing places: Eastport, Me, range 1T
nautical miles 400 to 1000; Quincy
Mass, range in nautical miles 4oO &c
l,UD. AtlantlC tlty, N D., ldhSS ~
nautical miles 800 to 500; Cape Hatteras
n. c., range in nautical miles 400 to
1000; Tampa, Fla, range in nau,
teal miles 800 to 1000; Crane
Island, La, range in nautica
miles $50 to 1000, and New Or
leans, La. (Grunewald HOteD, range II
nautical miles 300 to 800.
At Nauen, Germany, a private sta
ton has a range of 1000 nautica
miles. This is one of the most pow
erful stations in existence.
The Navy Department has forty-fvt
shore stations, with two under con
struction. The War Department ha
| under it's control fifty-one stations, ont
| being erected and TWO to be con
| struCted.
These are not all the stations con
trolled by this Government, for thu

been such a department in existence
within the recent past, there would
have been no opportunity for the cal

such Calumniation.'
President Gompcts declared 1t was his
belief that both the House and Senate
would pass the bill If 1t were brought
out of committee and given chance
on the floor.
It was emphasized by President Com
pers that the Department of Commerce
and Labor is not adequate, that what
labor wants is a separate labor depart
ment. He said there was room enough
for a department of commerce by IT.

Supporters Of the proposal think the
sentiment Is getting more favorable 10
such legislation. Mr.: Sulzer,. who in
troduced the bill, believes it is getting
more and more backing in House and
Senate. The revelations OF conditions
at Lawrence have helped the movement
for such a department.

Organized labor, which has been
knocking at the doors of Congress for
years for the purpose of urging a De-
partment of Labor, is renewing the ef-
fort in this direction. Labor leaders
say frankly they will never rest salts
fed until such a bureau is authorized
by Congress.
The House Committee on Labor re-
Gently had hearings on the Sulzer bill
for the establishment of such depart
ment. President Samuel Gompers, of
the American Federation. and other ad-
voCates of the measure appeared. Pres
ident Gompers summed up the position
Of the Federation in favor of Depart
ment of Labor as follows:
"What we want is department to deal
with the human equation. There is not
a country in the civilized world which
has not a distinctive department of la
Dor. In the South American republics
they have departments of labor. We
want a department that shall be eX-

RIGHT MAN FOR THE PLACE
Surely No One More Fitting Than
George w. Perkins to Be Treasur-
or Of Roosevelt Party.

1t ia eminently proper that George
w. Perkins should be named as treas
urer Of the Bull Moose party. AS a
friend of the plain people Mr.. Perkins
has succeeded in amassing a huge for
tune. Incidentally, and only inciden-
tally, he profited quite handsomely In
the division of the $685. 600, 900 which
was the financial result Of the forma-
ton Of the steel trust.
This gigantic monopoly has nothing
to hope for in the election Of Presi-
dent Taft, because 1t was under Mr..
Taft's administration that suit was
instituted against it. Likewise Mr..
Wilson's election would be disastrous
But Mr.. Roosevelt declined, while
president, to prosecute the steel trust
and he allowed the trust to gather IN
it's great southern rival, the Tennes

than this, during his seven years oc

Roosevelt took no action which looked
toward q genuine revision Of thu

credulity to believe that his genero'
