THE TELEGRAPH BUSINESS.
Western Union vice President Heard
by industrial lComm1ssion.


Washington, March 15.-Thomas F..
Clark. vice president Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, testified be-
fore the Industrial commission yester-
day concerning the relations of the tele-
graph to the public. He devoted much
of his time to the consideration OF the
wisdom of government ownership of the
telegraph Those who based their ad-
vocacy of the system upon its workings
in Great Britain, Belgium and Switzer-
land, he said ignored vital differences
between the conditions in those coun-
countries and in the United States. In
this country, Mr.. Clark said. there are
only sixty seven people to each mile OF
Wire, while there are in Great Britain
100 people ot the mile. In Switzerland 220
and in Belgium 321. In the United
States there are 1,1180S6 miles of wire,s
and in ell of Europe 1.5S5.267 miles. All;
told, he said. there are $4,000 places in
the United States reached by the tele-
graph companies. while in Great Britain
there are only 10.1S6 places thus reach
ed. In this country almost so per cent
OF the postoffices have Telegram phic con-
nections. while in Great Britain only
about one-quarter OF them are thus
equipped While admitting that rates
on local messages In Europe are lower
than In the United States, Mr.. Clark
contended that on through messages
they are incomparably higher.
Mr.. Clark said that the capitalization.
of the Western Union Company
amounts to $7o3 per mile OF poles. or
s141 per mile of wire. In Great Britain
the capitalization was about twice as
great Referring to the consolidation of
the various original lines into the West
ern Union system. he said II had been
necessary in order to SECURE unincation
of rates and to facilitate thru business.
The result also had been a vast reduc-
tion In rates OF transmission. the pres
ent maximum rates being in many cases
