The Wireless Monopoly Comes to Everett

SEATTLE, May 13.—Including every corporation previously organized in the United States to put into practical use the principle of wireless telephony, the North American Wireless Corporation has just been organized under the laws of Maine, creating a 'wireless trust' which absolutely controls all the basic patents of wireless telephone and the sparkling wireless telegraph—DeForest's latest improvement of the Marconi inventions. The consolidated company has begun to spread its branches over the west half of the continent, having already a chain of established wireless telephone long-distance stations along the Atlantic and the Great Lakes. Eighty western cities, including Everett, are marked as the location for long-distance stations. The plan of the North American Corporation is said to be the building of a system as powerful as the Bell Telephone system is in the field of wire communication. By the control of patents, the new trust is believed to have free rein in the wireless field. Dr. De Forest will be in Everett in the course of ten days to establish a long-distance station. While in the city he will probably give a series of demonstrations with his traveling apparatus, setting up stations at opposite ends of the city.
