SUIT OVER RADIO
AMPL|F|ER UP
Stay Granted Radio Audion Co
on Operation Of Injunction
Pending Appeal.

An opinion having been handed
down on April 22. by Judge Hugh NJ
Morris in the Federal District Court
denying the motion TO dismiss and
granting the motion for a preliminary
injunction in the case OF the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co against
Radio Audion Co. and DE Forest Radio
Telephone and Telegraph Co. the de-
PENDANTS this morning gave notice OF
an appeal to the Circuit Court OF Ap-
peals Of the Third District and asked
a stay Of the operation of the intunc-
ton, pending a decision on the appeal
The court announced its willingness
10 grant such a stay. based on the con-
dition Of a bond for $4,000, and a
monthly statement OF the business OF
the defendant, the Radio Audion Conf
pany, for the purpose of confirming
the sufficiency OF the bond.
The original suit is for alleged in
fringement Of patent for amplifier
tubes, and was brought several months
ago. In the meantime a sudden and
widespread demand for tubes" has
arisen. through the popular interest
in radio. which greatly complicates
the situation, the defendant Radio
Audion Co. claiming that the enforce
ment of an injunction at this time
would practically destroy it's business
and wreck the organization.
Estimates of the demand for tubes
varied; defendants counsel putting the
production by his company at 5000
monthly. while opposing counsels es-
innate was $4,000. although admitting
the possibility that the craze might die
out co,Spletely during the six months
likely To elapse before the decision on
the appeal is announced.

Burning Garbage
New York, July 4, 1922.
iitor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Just before leaving the city
found that the cans of garbage had not
been removed for three days-so I
called up the Street Cleaning Depart
ment.
I was told that the reason we were
SO neglected was the scarcity of barges;
that the department could not pro-
cure enough for the removal of the
garbage. This was on the upper West
Side, near our beautiful Riverside
Drive. What must have been the con-
dition in the crowded sections of the
city!
/ The result is the clogging UP of our
/ port and waste OF material which if
burned would bring in dollars for more
parks and more Fairgrounds for the
children who cannot get away into the
country during the hot days.
People object to the oders from the
fncinerators, but the Objectionable
odors could be easily killed by deodor-

Sir; Following the mandate TO

You are to be congratulated on the
perception and understanding of the
Mexican situation as displayed in vour
editorial every Man His Own Bandit /"
"A few more such pleasant little "polses

learn that the American people are not
readily convinced by propaganda and
that excuses do not take the place of
performance.
we may wonder whether the present
mexican government does not feel it,

1t so desperately seeks 20 explain the
present bandit activities. Since vou
poked fun at their blaming Mr.. Bielaski
Tor kidnapping himself the Mexican
government officials are now reported
as blaming some persons in New York
for KIDNAPPING him in Cuernavaea

ported; these bizarre and extraordi-

ready has law, every city and town
and hamlet an ordinance, which if
enforced would solve the problem.
There is no need whatsoever for ad-
dltional laws of any kind. The rea-
son why these laws are not enforced
sufficiently well tosreduce misuse of
the pistol and revolver to an abso-
Lutte minimum is obvious; it isn't
possible. A police force large enough
to search every person on the streets
at frequent intervals is out of the
question. People simply would not
pay the taxes to support such a
standing army. Under these present
laws every crook whose courage is
sutflcient has and carries a pistol
when engaged in the pursuit of his
profession. The heavy penalties i'm
posed, for instance, in New York
State by the Sullivan law have not
deferred any of them, so far as we
have any knowledge. 1t has deferred
scores of thousands of perfectly hon
orable, reputable citizens from own
ing pistols, some of them because
they could not conveniently obtain a
permit and others because they are
AFRAID that even with permit they
run the risssof trouble, which is true.
They want nothing to do with any,
thing which is governed by SO dras-
tic and tricky law.
TO sum up, law prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of pistols and
revolvers in the United States will
disarm the honest citizen without
disarming the crook, will deny to 95
per cent OR more Of the population
an inherent right, vital part of
their personal liberty, in order to
restrict the activities of only per
cent Of the population, when it is at
the bestNextremely doubtful that the
latter result would be obtained in
anything but the slightest degree.
Of all citizens in the United States
we must look to the members of thu
American Bar Association for the
preservation in our organic law Of
the principles Of personal libertv.
justice and, if you please, sanity.
Amy member Of the American Bar
Association who suggested that the
association agitate for the elimjna-
tlon of the automobile because it has
been used so largely as tool in the
commission Of crime and because
without the automobile and motor
truck very large number of very
important crimes of the past years
would have been impossible would
justly be the object of ridicule bv
nearly If not quite all Of his fellow
members. submit that the ANALOGY
between the automobile and the pis-
tol is correct. The pistol is in itself
no more an evil thing or a criminal
thing than is the automobile. Like
the automobile, it is wrongfully used
by the criminal element. Like the
automobile, it is rightfully used by
a hundred times as many people. To
Deprive the latter of this rightful use
Is Just as unjust and just as absurd
In one case as in the other.
