WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-A num-
Der OF persons interested in postal
thlegrtpf;y ASSEMBLED In the room
Of the House Postofiice Committee
this morning to listen to DIR. Norvin
Green, president Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. Post
master General Wanamaker, with
his assistant, Attorney General
Tyner, Gardner, Hubbard, and re-
presentatives of different Telegraph
companies were present.
DIR. Green began his remarks by
discussing the merits and dement's
Of the European government tele-
graph systems. He said, while in
instances their charges were lower
than those in the United States,
they were conducted at a loss. He
presented n table, showing that the
domestic companies had $500 sta
tons and sent over $4,000, 09o mes
Sages annually, against 53.010 sta
tons and 173, 900, 900 messages in the
rest Of the world. They had more
than half OF the entire mileage OF
tile world. The Western Union
controlled ten-eleventls Of this
business. Its stock was held by
$50 persons in the United Ststes,
ia OF these being females. DIR.
Green believed the United States
has no business with
the management Of the Telegraph.
1t could not be managed as cheapIy.
it could not do it better and none OF

LARGE SALARIES no OFfICfRs.

DR.. Green dryly responded that If
he wanted to DO Telegraph business
he would have TO pay somebody TO
look after it, and pay them well, too.
After all, what mattered it? 4

ed t. 4 charge OF One-tenth Of a cent

erals rates were adopted by the

there were more telegraph offices
than pOstOilices. In the older part
Of the country they We're % per
cent greater, and yet Great Britain
Ownei both telegraph and postoili
ces. Did that look rs If the Western
Union was not keeping abreast Of
the times? In North Carolina the
Western Unionhad Telegraph Offices

II was becoming n grave question
Is 10 whether il now prOfi;ed the
Western Union TO continue its con-
tracts with the railroad companies.
Originally they were sources Of
great revenue. but now the railroad
business was increasing TO such an
extent that it was doubtful If the
telegraph company, which handled
their business free, did not lose by
the agreement.
The chairman asked how much Of
their business the Western Union
did in the free delivery cities.
DIR. Green replied that about 30
per cent would cover it. That bust
ness was more largely speculative
than the remainder Of their business,
as it would include the great money
centres Of the country.
The chairman said that il was
proposed to pay the operators out Of

stamps. He would like TO know
what the operatlng cost was.

DIR. GREEN REPLIED

that n close estimate placed it at 5
cents pev message. In cases Of long
distance messages it ran up to 9
cents. The average compensation of
first-class operators was SO per
month.
The chairman wished to know
how the rates suggested by the
P0stnaster-General compared with
the present rates.
DR.. Green replied that generally
they were two fifths lower. In the
case Of long-dis:ance messages they
we're one-half lower. The average
message was twenty-One words, in
GLIDING addresses and signatures.
Ii was preferable TO continue the
system Of free addresses to insure
accurate delivery. Under the En-
gllsh system, where the address was
charged for, the addresses were
cramped and the messages frequent
~ failed in delivery.
To the broad question rs to how
the POstmaster-Gencral's plan ap-
peared to him as a business propO-
sitiOn. DR.. Green said that Of course
It could be carried out, but the bust
ness could not be done 10y the gov
eminent or by corporation ut a
profit, and somebody would have to
make up the deficiency.
Representative Game wished to
know why, ifthe bill was impractic-
able, DIR. Green aud the rest OF the
postal telegraph companies appeared
here to contend against 1t.
DIR. Green replied that it was a
serious matter for them. They did
not wish 10 be placed In competition
