LISTENERS-IN TO HOLD MEETING
Radio Problems VIII Be Dis
cussed at Session
Tuesday,.
CARL FOIL.
Times Radio Editor.

Interference is running radio re-
ception in indianapolis. At the
present time it is almost impossible
to receive programs. Something
must be done to stamp out this con-
dition. Last week the writer
suggested the forming Of Broad
cast Listeners Association similar
to the ones in st. Louis, Chicago,
Cleveland, and other cities where q
great deal has been accomplished in
improving radio reception. In re-
Spouse to this suggestion, hundreds
of letters and telephone calls were
received in favor of it.
Several small clubs have been
formed in various parts of the city
during the past few weeks and ac-
cording to reports received they
have improved receiving conditions
in their localities far beyond ex-
pectations in this short time. One.
organization in the east part of the
city has membership Of about 200.
who are willing to join with other
radio listeners in forming one large
organization.
The Chicago Broadcast Listeners
Association has a membership Of
close to $4,000. This organization
has cleared up rs per cent of the in
reference in Chicago since it was
formed six months ago.
A meeting has been called for
next Tuesday at 8 p. m. at the
Hcosier Athletic Club, Pratt and
Meridian SITS, and every radio
listener in Indianapolis who is in
favor of lettering local receiving
conditions is earnestly asked to at
tend this meeting.
Space does not permit us to print
all the letters and cards received
from those in favor OF this or
ganization, but few picked at
random will be found on another
page of this section.

The particular job of the amateurs
in this event was to test and oh
