The Attorney General is directed
TO make an investigation to learn
II combinations in restraint Of trade
exist in the field of wireless COM
munication, in resolution offered
in the House yesterday by Repre-
sentative F. a. Britten, of Illinois.
Britten's resolution mentions the
Radio Corporation of America. the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. the General Electric Com
pany ana the United Fruit Com
panies.
MY attention has been sailed to
a cross-licensins agreement between
all Of these companies which gives
the Radio Corporation of America
complete control of the manufacture.

damentai parts and appliances con-
nected with wireless communication -
said Representative Eritten.
Although the shortage in radio
tubes is so great as to inconvenience
thousands of amateur operators. the
United States government is refused
permission to sell nearly 100000 of
these tubes which il has on hand
as surplus since the war. The gov
eminent could sell these tubes at
half the IS price charged bv the

IL this combination is not a con-
spiracy in restraint OF trade and

Senator New Delivers Ad.
dress TO Women in In
dfanapOlis.

A campaign speech by radio was
made last night by Senator Harry
S. New. OF Indiana.
From his desk in. the Senate Of
fice Building the Senator was con-
nected with the Naval Air Station
at Anacostia, whence his speech
was sent broadcast by radiophone.
The speech was intended particu-
larly for a gathering of women citi-
gems of Indianapolis.
The Senator said in part:
Il believe there is nothing more
dear to the heart of American
women than the guarantee OF a
country at peace. This guarantee
was manifest in the success of the
disarmament conference and the
ratification of the four-power
treaty.
This done feel that we may
look forward to n long period OF
peace and friendly relations be-
tween the peoples concerned.
I'VE have lately heard that we
are confronted by great emer-

SETS FAST PACE
IN PHONE MAKING

The Western Electric Company is
setting a high pace in telephone man
ufacturing. Its 210-acre plant. near
Chicago. which produces about 30
per cent of the worlds vocal trans
mission apparatus, is turning out
more than 900. 900 telephone iustru-
ments a year. This is at a rate OF
almost one to every 100 people in
the United States. After making al
lowances for improvements, the net
subscriber station gain for the en-
tire communication system of the
country will be between 100000 and
500 900. When il is recalled that
the average instrument has a work
ing existence of about ten years.
1t would seem that the day Is not
far distant when telephones will be
just as common around homes as
the kitchen table. the front door
or the rent receipt.
New telephones mean new central
office exchanges. The company is
working on schedule which will
deliver at least 5000 switchboard
sections year. Many OF these arc

In addition to telephones and their
switchboard equipment. the Western
Electric is busy making aerial. I'M
derGround and submarine cable. in
Telephones. train dispatchinc tele-
phone equipment. printing telegraph
apparatus. and in fact practically
everything used in furthering the
cause OF rapid communication. As
an indication Of the magnitude OF
the cable Job. il might be stated
that production this year Is running
at a rate OF 5000 miles. in which
