charges.

CudTS6S.
The practice is for the Postal, when
it receives message for delivery in
a town where the Western Union has
the only office, to collect from the
sender of the message the same fee
as he is charged by the Western I'm
ion between the sending point and the
destination. The Postal transmits
over its own lines to the nearest point
possible and then turns 1t over to the
Western Union. The latter, the COM
plant alleges, not only charges the
local fee from the point at which it
receives the message to destination,
but adds charge of four or five
words, indicating that the message
has been turned over to the Western
Union for further transmission. These
additional words give the place where
the message was taken over and the
date. In addition to the full local rate
the Western Union makes a charge Of
from two to three cents per words for
those in excess of ten words, and the
Postal Company complains that it is
obliged to pay, 'as a result of such
discrimination, an unreasonable
charge" a greater sum than it re-
ceives from the sender of the mes
sage.
