TIRED OF LETTER WRITING.
DIR. Green Must Go to Washington to Dick
er With Mr.. WanamaI1er.

DIR. Green lust Go to Washington to Dick
With Mr.. Wanamaker-
Saratoga, n. Y, special: postmaster
General Wanamaker is here for ten days
OF more. He talked this evening very
frankly concerning the controversy be-
tween him and DIR. Green over the rates
the government shall pay for telegraphic
service.
"It is absurd" he said, ''for DR.. Green to
pooh-poOh the concessions granted 70 the
Western Union people by the government,
or to underestimate their value. The
privileges have been valuable, and they
have been consistently aud unfineh-
ingly protected in the possession of
them. 1 know that in Philadelphia
the poles could not be interfered with
on any pretext, and this condition OF
things continued for years. And then 4
want to point out the large amount of work
which the government absolutely manu-
factuTes for the telegraph company. Here
the signal service people use the wires lib
orally, and consider for moment the news
which the agents OF the Associated Press
gather in the department at Washington
and send over the wires to all parts of the
country. l liked the rate at one mill q
word because l understood the company
was doing the work for one OF the press as
sociRtiOns at that price. More than that.
the rate has been reduced 70 the public sew
eral times during the five years and the
government rate has remained the same.
Then 4 heard that the Western Union peo-
pie were giving exceptional rates to large
commercial enterprises, and 1t seemed my
clear duty 20 see that the govern
meut was doing as well as any one
else But | did not fix the rate l
name absolutely, and said that / was will
ing to negotiate the matter and settle II
equitably. Let DIR. Green show me what
the cost of service Is, and then we can talk.
As the rate is at present, the messages cost
far too much. IL there is any trouble down
in New Orleans, for example, ] should like
20 send down full and explicit Instructions;
but / do not want TO spend five or six dol
lars % do IL, and certainly will not spend
that when somebody Is getting the service
lower. l do not care 10 carry on this con-
tr0versy in the newspapers, but DIR. Green
has published his letters and was in some
measure forced 10 follow his example so
that the public shall not get one-sidec
view of the matter. But il should be set
tied n a business like way. l have asked
DIR. Green to come down to Washington,
and of course / am willing 10 meet him and
discuss the service and adjust all differ
eDees. They certainly can never be hd-
justed by letter writing"
