Another Coal Conference.

Disappointed on several occasions,
the public that burns coal as fuel
will not be optimistic regarding the
possibility Of coal peace resulting
from tomorrow's conference between
the operators and the miners. There
is only one new factor in the case
that promises results, and that is in
fact the same one of the miners ne
cessities, which are today greater than
ever and are perhaps sufficient to
compel agreement.
Nothing in the exchange of state
ments by the two sides gives a clue
to the prospect. To them it would
seem to he Just another conference, "

work. save perhaps the Lynett plan,

Another Failure.

I Another international radio test
night can be marked down as "A fail
! ure. in Washington and its vicinity
at least, due to the careless. in6iffer-
ent or optimistic operators of resen-
er2tive sets, who effectively blanketed
the entire city and prevented recep-
| ton OF overseas stations.
Properly handled u resenera tive
radio reception apparatus is one of
the best. BADLY operated it is one OF
the vicious elements OF the develop
ment of the new art and bids fair
to stop in its tracks the progress of
radio.
Al II o'clock last night the Ameri-
can stations, by International agree
ment. were shut down SO that listen
ers in this country would have a
better chance of picking up European
stations which broadcast special
transu ntic programs.
Previous to the hour set for the
beginning of the test reception of
American stations by other stations
in this country was highly satisfac-
tory. 1t was what is known to radio
enthusiasts as a "Sood night" be-
cause of the lack of static, and high
hopes were entertained by those with
powerful sets for success in the in
ternational tests.
Promptly at IL o'clock. however. il
seemed as if every regenerative set
in the world was improperly tuned
in on the announced wave lengths Of
the European stations, and operators
of other sets. although capable Of pick
ing up overseas broadcasting, got
nothing for their pains but screeches,
howls and whistles the minute they
reached the required adjustment.
A resenerative set is one that when
crowded as to volume rebroadcasts
the station 1t is receiving. This, in
effect, results in d large number Of
small transmitting stations on each
wave length. In tests conducted in
Cleveland one badly operated regen-
erative set was shown to have COM
pletely ruined the reception of all
radio machines within the city limits
Another element enters into last
nights flasco when it is realized that
there are few regenerative sets made
which are powerful enough TO pick up
England or continental European sta
lions. So it appears that there were
many of the species known as "su-
preme optimists' on the air when
the tests began. They may or may
not have realized that they had scant
chance of success, but in all prob
ability they realized, by the noises
in their own sets, that they were
making it impossible for any one to
pick up the overseas stations.
Many States are seeking legisla-
ton to bar the regenerative set be-
cause of its misuse by the public, but
laws of this kind are hard to secure
because of the admitted quality Of re-
generative reception when properly
operated.
A campaign of education would
seem to be the next best step. Ger
tainly something must be done, or
the progress of radio Will be stopped
by the refusal of the public to buy ex-
pensive apparatus on which nothing
but backyard melodies" can be heard.

Amundsen's Blunder.

Capt. Roald Amundsen has com
mitted a srievous error of Judgment
and is guilty Of a grave breach Of
taste in declaring that DR.. Cook :
claim to having discovered The North
Pole is as good As that Of the late
c"mdr. Robert l.. Peary. In the first
place. he is deliberately seeking TO
reopen a controversy that to the sat
i&taction of both science and the lay
world has been settled definitely in
favor of the Peary claim. Again. he
is besmirChinc the credit and the char
fcter of a man who is dead and who
cannot defend himself Finally. he
is arousing the suspicion that, not con
tent with his own honors in the field
of polar eXplorati ton, he seeks to throw
doubt upon all claims of North Polar
discovery in order that the field may
be opened for his own enterprise.
Much allowance may be made for
personal sympathy between Amund-
sen and Cook, the latter now 4 pris-
oner and an object of pity for his
plight, the result of his inveterate
disposition to deceive. They were
friends long ago. fellows in an early
Belgian Antarctic expedition. Amund,
sen was one of the first to acclaim,
Cook as the discoverer upon his re-
turn to Copenhagen. He refused aft
erward to accept Peary's proofs that
he, and not Cook, had reached the
point of no latitude.
There is at present no doubt In the
minds of the great majority Of people
as TO the honors of North Polar dis
covery. That they belong to Peary
Is the settled belief of men and wom-
en- of science as we'll as OF the laity.
Cook has been disclosed as a faker
in the matter Of far Western mountain
climbing. He has been convicted of
fraud in business. He has no credit
IN the public mind. He is rated as
the perpetrator Of a hoax that can
never be pardoned. hoax based upon
the public's willingness to believe In

acceptance upon his return as the dis
coverer of the Pole was due to this
faith, the betrayal Of which was an
unpardona BILE crime, beyond the scope
Of law, but nevertheless punished by
4 world wide reputation.
Amundsen has many achievements
to his credit, and 1t Is pity that he
should now align himself with this
discredited faker and renew discus.
sion that was closed, 1t was thought,
once and for all time when the official
awards of discovery were made to
Peary. In any case, there is a de-
cided lack of sportsma nship in the de.
NAL of Peary's title as the polar dis
coverer now that he cannot himself
defend it. Amundsen does not in fact
harm Peary. nor Goes he help Cook by
this present performance. He only
harms himself, and that Is TO be deep
ly regretted.
