New YoRK, Sept. 5.--At the session
| Of the Senate Committee on Labor Sta
tistics to-day, Jay Gould stated that he
was director in the G. and NV, Chi
cago aud X. l., the Delaware, Lackawana
and Western, the n Y. and New Eng
| land and several other smaller lines.
Incidental to his railroad interests he
had become largely interested in the
| telegraph business. This was on nc
count OF the intimate connection be-
| tween the two Industries. He was in
strumental in starting the American liuc
to make a competing line with the
| Western Union. fIe found that it
would be impossible to accomplish this
on account OF tho extent Of the latter's
connections. He then turned his atten.
ton TO getting control of the Western
Union by buying stock when it was low.
Finding il paying inye stment he had
been constantly increasing his interest
| His object In securing control OF the
| Western Union was to make his friend,
Gen. Eckert, manager, as he had great
confidence in his business abilities. The
railroad facilities which were now ac-
| auired by the Western Union are inval.
uable and it is impossible TO estimate
their value.
Can you give us your opinion as the
practicability OF government postal
telegraph which would take the place Of
the present system, Mr.. Gould?
II think the institutions Of this
country are opposed to say any such
thing as that, replied Mr.. Gould. "The
| telegraphic business, more than any
other, requires to be managed by ex-
perts, and the dividends of the Western
| Union are obtained because it does the
busines well. Under Government sys-
tenn the whole management OF these
great interests would be subject TO
change, and the particular political
party then in power. Mr.. Gould also
thought that the mail service would be
better accomplished by private enter
prise than by the Government. He
would not object to the Government
taking hold of the telegraph system of
the Western Union II it would pay for it
what il was worth on a fair appraise
ment, but, in his opinion. it would not
be success. A uniform tariff could be
secured under private enterprise as
well as under Government supervis
ion, and the Western Unions policy
tended to accomplish this. In New
York State there is uniform system of
rates. There could he no lasting COM
petition against the Western Union on
account OF its great facilities. When
there were powerful rivals the rates
were not reduced, because the opposi.
ton was obliged to charge the same rates
as the Western Union in order to live,
