DISPUTE WITH POST OFICE, USE OF BEAM STATIONS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright..) Received 2.1 5 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Jaa. 15. The “Daily Express” states tliat the Government is considering a dispute between the post Oiiice and the Communications Company, owing to the former's refusal to use the company’s beam stations tor Empire wireless telephones instead of the Government s huge Rugby station, where much of the plant is American. It is understood the chief reason for the Post Oiiice policy is that an experiment with Rugby has show'll it is too expensive to use the beams when smaller and cheaper aerials and directors achieve better results and also permit the multiplication of aerials for alternate w ave-lengths with which telephony experiments to Australia give greater hope of minimising fading than lias been hitherto achieved by the beam.
