NEW IDE4IN cut CABLE RATES.
Proposal to Count tire Letters and Charge
n l.1 Cents for Every Five.

Clarence II Mackay. president Of tbs
Commercial Cable Company and the
Postal Telegraph Gable Company. said
yesterday about rumors Of a pending
reduction in cable rates:
The Commercial Cable Company has
been AZ work for some time past in formu-
lating plan by which the rates for cable
grams sent by the general public. in
other words cablegrams in plain Ian
guage. as distinguished from code Ian
guage. would he reduced about one-half
That plan has now been worked out
and inasmuch n II will require the CO.
operation Of the telegraph lines in Europe,
where the governments own the lines.
Our plan involves : prcpc.tionats re-
duct ion in the land rates charged ny the
European governments. and hence the
cooperation Of those governments will
be necessary
At present the cable rate 10 Is cents
q word The proposed plan 10 TO chargs
i2i, cents for every Ave letters IN that
class Of cablegrams We have found by
careful investigation and examination
of a great number Of cable messages
that plain language averages only Ave
letters TO the word. and hence il Ne charge
only i2,, cents for Ave letters (svery lettcr
In the cablearam being counted A. though
the whole cableGram was one word) the
result would he that tho public in send
ing cabiegrAms would pay but one.haif
Of what IL now pays for those cablegrams.
it being q part Of the plan thar these
reduced rate messeges will he subject
to prior Transmission Of messages paid
for AZ q higher rate.
We hope To he able to put the plan
into operation in a short time. II being
necessary first To make the necessary
arrangements with the European Gov
ernments. would add that this new
mode ~ charging for cablegrams will
he Of decided advantage also 20 the bust
ness public which uses a code. inasmuch az
il win he an indicement to them to put q
portion at least ~ their cablegrams in
plain language rather than use a very
complicated code which requires q great
deal Of time ON their part first TO code
and then TO uncods. After the most
careful consideration and study Of the
whole subject We are satisfied that this
new method of charging for cablegrams
will not only reduce the charges for ortii-
nary csble9rams ons-haf hut that the
plan itself viii be logical. simple. work
able and satisfactory.
