ert c. Clowry, president of the Western
Union telegraph company, said today
concerning the London reports of ne
gotiations of reduction of cable rates
that the Western Union for year had

mulated a plan.

these rates he added, and a general
Improvement in cable service and ia
cilities were commenced last June with
the English transatlantic cables COM
papies associated with the Western
Union company and with the English
postoffice authorities. An agreement
was substantially reached so far as the
English transatlantic cable companies
were concerned. but there was some
question with the British postoffice au-
thorities.
Influenced by the intimation that if
any changes were made in any trans
Atlantic cable rates. all rates would
be demoralized the English companies
would be necessary to have some one
on the spot to make progress.
Mr.. Hall. chairman of the executive
committee of the Western Union com
pany. went to Europe to take UP those
negotiations and remain until they are
completed "A message received last
ght said an agreement seemed prob
able on the basis of half rates for
plain language and asked US to advise
if we approved.
Announcement was made last night
by President Clarence Fl. Mackay. of
the Commercial cable company that its
rates for commercial cables under GER
tain conditions would be reduced from
25 to 12h cents a word. provided ar
rangements with European govern
ments could be made.
