can handle messages at cheaper rates
and stating that there is at present a
universal complaint against the slow
ness of the wire services.
Cheaper message rates were indirectly
promised by the Mackay Co., represent

and its counsel. Charles Evans Hughes,
jr.. and by the Radio Corporation of
America. represented by Col Manton
Davis. general attorney.
Both Of these large communication

proposition that the few available waves
should be assigned only to we'll eStab-
lished communication companies.
Concession Made to Iowa.
Gov. Hammill of Iowa today is on
his way back to Des Moines with the
assurance of the Federal Radio Commits
sion that one of the eight cleared
broadcasting channels to which the
fourth radio zone is entitled will be
allotted to the State Of Iowa. The COM
missions decision followed representa-
tions made by Gov Hammill and others,
largely at the instance of WHO, Des
Moines against the way the State has
Jared under the broadcast reallocation
effective next November IL.
The commission refused to decide at
this time whether WHO or any other
station in Iowa will get exclusive rights
on time-sharing privileges on the pre-
ferred channel, but indicated that the
reordering of assignments in Iowa will
neceSsitate taking away one of the
three cleared channels allotted Chicago.

and now owned and operated by the
Mackay interest, and the Radio Cor
poration of America, asking for more
channels to serve as a feeder" for its
vast network of tranSoceanic radio cir
cults and proposing to handle inter
city messages for the public at the same
time.
Added to these are applications from
such concerns as cotton exchanges,
plantations, chain stores and power
companies each desiring short waves for
the cheaper and faster transmission of
their messages between cities.
Utility Standards Required.
Commission attorneys. in quizzing the
counsel for these companies, indicated
clearly that public utility standards
must be accepted before any short
waves will be granted
It is apparent that purely private
uses of the short waves will not be toll
Grated when the reassignments are
made, regardless of the fact that many
of the present users have been operat :

for many years.
Important figures in journalism ap-
peared before the commission yesterday
to support the applications of their
committee for Is channels for inland
point-to-point services.
The spokesman for the press, Lewis
Pierson of Chicago, explained that these
would be put to use Ito send complete

RADIO-TELEGRAPH
! COMPETITION SEEN
Wireless May Cut Into Field
of Land Lines as 1t Has
With Cable Service.

Already a serious rival of the SUBJ
marine cable, radio now proposes to
enter the domestic field in competi-
tlon with the land line telegraph syS-
tens
Many ambitious enterprises have been
born of the realization that each high
frequency channel in the ether has the
potential value of an extensive inland
wire reach.
These proposed enterprises are the
subject of a series Of hearings before the
Federal Radio Commission, at which
many concerns, new and old in the field
of communications, are seeking to OBJ
tain ALLEGATIONS in the highly restrict
ed continental short-wave band that
ranges from 1900 to 5000 kilocycleS
200 to so meters).
Exceed Channels Available.
Four major applicants for substantial
parcels of these waves alone exceeded
in their demands the 800 channels or
less that will be theoretically available
for distribution when the commission
undertakes to reallocate the highly re-
stricted Short-wave bands in conformity
with the Washington radio telegraph
treaty, effective next January /. From
among these channels the mobile Serv-
ices, such as ships and aircraft, must
obtain prior allotments.
The four major applicants each pro-
posed the establishment of Nationwide
radio4telegraph networks that would be
opened to the public service and would
compete for traffic directly with such
companies as the Western Union.
One of the significant aspects of the
hearings was that the Western Union,
largest Of the telegraph companies, was
entirely unrepreSented either to seek
channels for its own use or to oppose
the intrusion of palpably dangerous
competition in its field.

entire United States were proposed by
the American Publishers committee,

press associations seeking new ways to
handle their own word traffic the Uni

lists and seeking to establish a radio

Commissioner Caldwell has made
public letter he has addressed to Mar
tin P Rice of the General Electric Co.,
relative to the division of time on a
cleared channel between WGY, Schenec-
tady, and KGO, Oakland, Calf. Both
stations are under the same manage
ment, but KGO alone gets a cleared
channel. Mr.. Caldwell informed Mr.
Rice that the commission had no OBJ
lection to timc-sharing schedule be-
tween the two stations, which will per-
NIT each about 90 per cent of its pres
ent operating hours.
Under the reassignments of November
II, it was expected that WGY would be-
come daylight station" going off the
air as soon as darkness settles over
the Pacific Coast.
The first zone commissioner has pro-
posed to Mr. Rice that WGY can oper-
ate throughout the daytime and during
the evening to 10 o'clock Station KGO
can operate daytime stand by from
sunset to pm. and resume operation
from 7 pm throughout the remainder
of the night.
