Agree On Wireless Bill.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 16, 1912:
Requires 24-Hour Vigil on All Passenger Ships Hereafter.
    WASHINGTON, July 15.— A twenty-four-hour vigil in the wireless room of every ocean-going vessel clearing from American port, with fifty or more persons aboard, is provided in a bill agreed upon to-day by Senate and House conferees.
    On cargo-going vessels, one first class operator would be required, but another member of the crew would be required to understand the transmission of distress signals.
    The bill is one of several growing out of the Titanic disaster. It will be reported to both houses this week.
