WIRELESS VAR IS
BREWING And MAY
IN ISLANDS
Fight for Control of the Worlds
Business Threatens to Result
in Very Lively Mixup

A storm of no mean magnitude Is
said to be brewing in local wireless
circles. Ominous rumblings seeming
ly portend sharp clash between rival
radio interests in the near future, the
outcome of which is not easy to fore
tell While Hawaii is likely to be
the scene of a good deal of the fire.
works, the real struggle, if it comes,
will probably be staged on the main
land, or at least will likely end there
in the federal courts.
The fight that is said to be on is
between the Poulsen or Federal Wire
less Company, now established here,
and the Marconi interests which will
seen have two powerful stations in
working shape on this island. The
Mutual Telephone Company, which
handles the inter-island wireless busi-
ness, may also be drawn into the row.
Just how serious the situation Is
is not easy to determine, for the local
representatives of the several COM
panies are very reticent, although
some of them admit that there is,
and has been for some time past a
great deal of friction. So far the trou-
BILE seems to have expressed itself in
the form of interference" on the part
of one or the other parties with the
transmission Of messages. One man,
prominent in the affairs of one of the
companies, while refusing to discuss
the situation. said: "When the time
comes we shall be ready to make a
good case There are national laws on
this matter of interference, and we
shall push the thing right to finish
when we do start .
. 1t is said that already there has
been a good deal of trouble on the
coast, but that up to the present it
has not become very acute here in
the islands. The desire of both of the
big international companies to gain
control of the local interisland busi-
ness, is said to be the cause of the
local company's being mixed up in the
trouble

The unusual degree of attention
which the drydock has attracted is
chiefly due to the recurrence of dis

reason Messrs. Cox and Harris have

haste and send in their computation at
