It Would Cost Sixteen Mil

/ WASHINGTON. Jan. 2z.-More
Vkn ss,5OO.OOo would be required to
put our navy on radio alone is
concerned.
II war were declared today, this
sum would have to be raised to
about SIS. 100000 for radio equip
ment alone.
Admiral John K. Robson, chief of
the navy's bureau OF engineering,
gives these estimates in his request
to Congress for funds to improve
radio installations in the navy.
Most of the $500, 900 needed, says
Robson, would have to go for radio
apparatus for ships in commission.
It would be used to replace spark
sets still in use, obsolete receiving
apparatus and receivers designed for
the wavelengths that are no longer
available to the navy
Duplex" Needs
Itswould also provide for accurate
measuring equipment to keep the OBJ
orators on. their assigned wave
lengths and would also enable ships
to operate Sin duplex" That is, re-
ceiving and sending at the same
time, an essential especially during
warfare.
OF this amount. however, Admiral
Robson has asked Congress for
$550,00O for vessels to be in commits
SION in 1926 and about 5000 900 for
land station improvement and main
tenance. :
Higher Cost
q In his report, Robson points out
at naval radio apparatus is more
expensive than other commercial
equipment, because of special re.
quirements and because they are not
bought in great quantities.
Wave meters suitable for navy
use. ne explains, cost about $3.50
each When only about fifty or so
are ordered, quantity production
methods can not be considered as
helping to reduce this price.
Robson estimates the value Of all
naval radio apparatus in use today
at about s7,5OO,OOO, although, he adds
this amount could never be raised
at a forced sale.
To replace this with modern equip
nrent, he figures, it would cost Uncle
sam more than twice this much
about Sis. zoe, 900.

How It's Bone

At the Mexican conference, two
microphones were installed in a
small room next to the conference
room. In this room also were The
transmitting apparatus and an audi
tory device so that the operators in
this room might hear all that was
going on at the conference. At the
same time they were enabled to see
everything in the next room,
through two large windows.
A line from each microphone went
to the ampliffer and from here was
directed to the seats in the con-
ference room. Each delegate had
pair of earphopes provided for him.
Each microphone- was in charge
Of an interpreter, one from English
to Spanish. the other from Spanish
to English. Each s.microphone also
had separate line, to the delegates
from one of the two countries repre-
scented.
Thus, the Spanish to English in
terpreter, talked to the American
delegates and the other interpreter
to the Mexican delegates.
Same Operation
While an American: was speak
ing his own colleagues could lay
down their. earphones and listen. to
him directly. AT the same time the
English to Spanish interpreter was
translating his talk for the benefit OF
the Mexicans, who were listening
through their earphones.
The result is no more time taken
up by interpretations after a talk
is finished. The actions of each
speaker are understood by ali
present.
This system could easily be en-
larged for the use of more diver
sified meeting. All that is needed
is more interpreters, with add
tional ampliiers, microphones and
ear-sets, to accommodate all Ian
guages.
In a meeting of ten nations, for
instance, while one language would
be understood directly. the other
nine would be Interpreted through
as many ampliflers and microphones
and heard through separate ear.

MINE WORKERS PRODUCE
COAL FOR CITY UNIONS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. g.
The experiment being tried in Illi-
nois in the matter Of selling coal own
ed and mined by the Illinois Mine
Workers has aroused considerable in
terest in trade union circles.
The coal, which is taken from mines
owned by the Illinois miners, at Her
rim, ILL.,, is being distributed to or
ganized consumers on farms and in
cities by the Farmer-Labor Exchange,
Chicago. Lower prices to consumers
is one of the attractive features of
the plan.
The coal comes from the well
known, battle-scarred strip mine at
Herrin where the non-union operator
of that mine in 1922 introduced nom
union labor mad attempted to operate
the workings. The riot which fol-
lowed resulted in the death of several
men. The operator found that public
sentiment was not in favor Of nom
union mines in that territory and he
eventually sold his holding to the Illi-
nois Mine Workers and the organiza-
ton is now directly in charge of the
properties.
. In a recent statement in the public
press quoting FTRnk Harrington,
president of the Illinois miners, he
said: "There are 10000 idle miners
in Illinois who can not get days
