As many of the artists who in the past have given concerts at the broadcast- ing stations without compensation are members of the union, the result of the warning will be that the broad- casters in the future will either have to pay for the services of the musiclans or secure talent not affiliat- ed_with labor organizations. C. O. Fischer, president of the Wash- ington Radlo Broadcasters' Associa- tion, has vigorously protested such action by the Musicians’ Union. In- stead of trying to promote an in- terest in the advancement of music, which can be done probably more ad- vantageously by radio than by any other agency, he pointéd out, the union has taken a step in the opposite direction.

One of the reasons why the inter- est in wireless broadcasting has not only been holding its own, but Is con- stantly spreading. is to be found in the improved quality of the material which is being sent out by the broad- casting stations, In the early stages of broadcasting experiments the then comparatively few owners of receiv- ing sets were more concerned with the technical problems of the hook- up and adjustment than with the character or the quality of the mat- ter which they were receiving. As the radio audience grew, particularly since its tremendous de- velopment. beginning more than a vear ago, there eame into the field a large number of persons whose in est in the technical side of the oper: tion of their receiving sets was not as keen as that of the pioneers. Ready-made sets. which anybody can operate, have come into the marke the amateur who hooks up his own sct, once he has found his pet lay- out, gives himself little further trou- ble about its technical arrangement. Both he and the ready-made set oper- ator are content to use their outfits “as is” and concentrate on what they n get. And so for them the radio receiving set has become less a plece of apparatus to be tinkered with in making constant experimental changes and adjustments, but more an_instrument ready to be or” at any time when the user feels in need of entertainment—something like a phonograph or plaver-piano. but with a vastly larger range of se- lections to choose from by tuning to this, that of the other station. The interest has thus come to counte more in the programs and less in the j technique of the receiving set Reciproeal Contact. One of the difficulties has always Deen that the person listening in was not in responsive touch with the broadcasting station. No doubt every radio fan has feit the lack of recip rocal contact. The broadcasting sta- tions, on the other Was To spontancous reaction from their audlences. They tried to meet this situation by suggesting to their hearers that they let them know by posteard or by letter how they re- ceived the matter sent out. and thou- sands of such posteards and letters have been received by the broadcast- ing stations. The trouble, however, was that they contained commenda- tion or comment on matter long since past and gone and were therefore |largely in the nature of post-mortems. It is not known who started it, but some ingenious person found the rem- edy for this one defect which stood in the way of complete action and reaction between the audience and broadcasting station—and, once he found it it proved to be like many such discoveries—extremely simple. | He turned to his telephone, called for | connection with a telegraph office and {sent a telegram to the broadcasting statlon expressing his appreciation of the program to which he had just listened. Within a few minutes the broadcasting station had received the telegram and in turn it was read out to_its hearers. Here was the live contact between the audience and the station, work- ing both ways. WILL OPEN CARNIVAL FOR GIBBONS INSTITUTE | Archbishop Curley to Speak at i Fair for Colored School Tomorrow. !

As the transmitting creased in number jthe situation eventually became so bad that regulation of a very strict| nature became imperative in the in- | erest of rapid and efficient service Today a prescribed trafiic procedure for radio felegraphy, stripped of all superfluous signals, is in universal use throughout the world. Slow and inaccurate service has given way to rapid and accurate service, because radio operators must now undergo an | examination and obtain a government | license before they are permitted to handle traffic. Not only is personal jconversation in the ether between op- jerators forbidden, but if they should |deltberately create a single superfiu- jous “dot” or “dash” in the ether they are subject to discipline. In the case iof a civilian operator his license may be suspended or canceled altogether, and without a license he cannot en- @age in his profession. stations i Fifteen Years Hence. Fifteen years hence we will refer to the present as the “old days in ra- | diophone broadeasting.” It is con. ceivable that all radiophone broad- casting station operatives will then be licensed, as radio operators are now Doubtless a standard procedure or making announcements, etc., will be in effect. and ‘other than the elec- trical output of the stations will be regulated in some form. Radio is ome pub! utility which every one agrees should be regulated. The nature of the regulation of the output of radiophone broadecasting stations. however, is_a problem not easy of solution. It is possible that conditions will gradually develop which will make some form of control similar to that now existing in the motion picture industry and in or- gan d base ball advisable also for radlophone broadcasting. The radiop ne broade: ing sta- i themselves afe now licensed are th regulated with respect to their electrical output in the ether. especially as regards the wave length they must use. Beyond this, however, each xbuu)h' is virtually as free to regulate the form and quality of its broadgast pro- grams as was® the radlo telegraph operator to regulate his trafic fifteen years ago.
