NAsHINGToN. March %. - The
House COMMITTEES On Post-ofiices and
PoAi-Roads, conducting the telegraph
investigation. to-day began It's inquiry
concerning the alleged attempts OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company to
ooeroe newspapers in the western
States making exclusive contracts,
etc.
X. N. Ayres appeared IN behalf Of
tie Kansas City Times and the Kansas
City Journal, and submitted q state
meui by J. A. Mann. secretary and
business manager Of the .JoErRsL to
gether with letter from Morrison
Mumiord. proprietor Of the Times, and
several communications that had passed
between the latter and the Western
Union managers relative to the news
contracts OF the Times.
Eann's statement was read 10 the
committee. Il describes several cos
tracts entered into with the Western
mon. and submits the form Of one Of
these contracts, in which the newspa-
per Is bound to give the Western mon
Company all Of It's special business or
pay higher rates for such matter as may
he transmitted through the Western
Union. The statement SAYS DO open con-
tracts we're ever offered this newspa-
per; all Of whatever date or
rate Ind contained the exclusive
service clause. These contracts were
violated by the newspaper only alter q
long and weary effort TO obtain fair
measure Of relief IRON the telegraph
company. and after repeated oppressive
exactiOns upon the newspaper, and Il
IS charged that the telegraph company
T. violated the spirit, II not the letter,
q. the contract. The communication
concluded with 8 statement tha, the
protecting power Of the Government
must step II and perform the tele-
graphic service Of the country, Just as
II does the mail service.
". L. Somerville, of New York, ST.
perintendeut Of the press division Of
the " estern Union Company, replied
briefly 10 the statement reao by Ayrcs.
De said the Western Jnion had tWo
special rates-one open 70 every news
paper and another 90 per cent. lover
10 papers that signed agreements to
send al their news over Western Union
wires. Both Of the Kansas city papers
had signed that agreement voluntarily,
and both had broken It. The Western
mon Company mad simply notified
them that the contracts would be- abro-
gated II they persisted II breaking the
agreement by sending their news over
other lines. The papers had signed the
agreement TO get the advantage Of the
reduced rates.
