ed to hush downtown merchants
who have loud speakers in front Of
their establishments for the con-
venience Of the shopping public.
William p. Boyer, president Of
the Radio Merchants Association
said today that the stand to be
taken by the merchants will be
decided upon at the next meeting
Of the association.
Occasional Use Favored.
President Boyer explained that he
believes that IL the radio merchants
and others only use their loud
speakers so they can be heard on
the streets in exceptional cases, such
as the present when there is Re-
publican national convention on,
that the police should not interfere,
but he admits that It could be made
a nuisance il it was done by too
many day in and day out.
e. c. Graham, president Of the
National Electric Company said that
he believed that the old regulation
which the police are acting under
should be revised, permitting the
loudspeakers to operate.
If the police regulation is strictly
adhered to hotels would not be per-
mitted to use loud speaker for the
benefit Of their guests.
1t has been the custom Of enter
prising merchants to use radio loud
speakers In front Of their establish
ments for some time and it is said
the reason that police have not
taken action before is that on &C.
count of the novelty no one made
complaint.
Test Case to Be Made.
Now that the novelty has worn
off. it is explained, some merchants
who do not like to see scores of
prospective customers parked" in
front Of a competitors window are
in favor Of q blanket ban.
1t is expected that a test case
will be made and a ruling obtained
from the local courts.
It is also probable that the Radi,,
Merchants Association will select
a committee to await on the Dis
trict Commissioners and thresh the
matter out with them, with the
view Of securing a modification of
