Controlled Radio

THE American Telegraph and Telephone company al
ready has virtual monopoly of the telephone sys-
TENS of the country Because of the widespread en-
husasm for radio in the country the company undertook
to get control of that field of communication by buying up
patents TO radio instruments.
Right the struggle for control of the air Is
tered in New York city, where the A. T. T. has brought
lawsuit to prevent broadcasng with instruments made
by an independent radio manufacturer. The A. T. I.
controls many radio patents that IL is hardly possible
for anyone to make instrument without infringing
on them.
If the A. T. & T. wins this suit and il stands prece-
dent, lone at the office of the great corporation
bringing this suit and others could dictate what the entire
nation should hear their radio That is entirely
too much power TO place in position"
The quotations are those of Henry NJ Shaw president
minister's theater and other citizens
much interested in free radio rs they in free
speech a free press.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover has joined in the fight
on the side of the independents. Says he:
ut would be most unfortunate for the people of this
country to whom radio broadcastng has become inn
portant incident of life if its control should into
the hands of any single corporation individual
bination. 1t would be in principle the same tho the
entire press of the country were so controlled"
Too much broadcastng spois the air for everybody.
There be control to prevent broadcasters from de-
stroying each others efforts to meet this stua
ton that the A. T. t. says they entered the field to
make itself the seapponted dictator of order in the air.
That is not the way to solve the problem whatever
have been the motives of the directors of the telephone
trust.
If we must have octopus of the air, let's have it
government octopus which be broken to harness by
the people. Then let Uncle Sam control the air.
And Of course for every seofrnw a scoffawyer

Gentlemen and "Roughnecks"

A FEW days ago The Star inquired why il that
"A man who was a gentleman afoot often became "a
roughneck' in auto. Why II that pedestrian
never yelled at another who crossed his path, Hey
dumbbel. keep on your own side!
Now reader who neglects to sign his name,
but who has the answer. It's this
FIRST: The parties at court not gentlemen,
they wouldn't do it.
SECOND: Ownership of auto is synonymous with
power authority and rs per cent of people cannot
power authority without abuse. The gentleman" Is
simply ording it other folks.
THIRD: On foot the gentleman is afraid OF being
punished. He may yell in safety from fast auto. He
is prompted in this respect in the way that the
youths who attend the ball games and the przefghs yell
for the umpre's scalp and for bood-en courage
