master General Wanamaker and President
A. B. Chandler, of the Postal Telegraph
company were interrogated by the mem

subject of establishing limited post and
telegraph service. Mr. Wanamaker said
that his relations with the telegraph
companies were exceedingly pleasant.
He had never had difficulty Of a personal
character with the Western Union.
In regard to the hill submitted by him,
Mr. Wanamaker said that he offered it
only as "a study. He said the civil service
would control the new establishment, and
recommended that some penalty be pro-
vided to prevent the use of the wires for
political purposes by officers and employees
of the government and others. He had
believed all along that it would be greatly
to the interests of the Western Union to
contract with the government.
Mr. Chandler outlined the extent of the
postal telegraph system. The relations
between the Western Union and his com
pany were mutually protective, but there
was no contract relations between the two
organizations that need have any effect on
the consideration of the question at issue

panies that a regular schedule of rates be
