not get past Botto TO catch hold of the
negro. Finally Driver kerse heard
the shouts and stopped the engine,

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrang ement between
the Western Union. the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direct u. S. companies
will bring the eight cables OF the three
companies under one operating con
troll. The consequent increase IN
effectiveness and economy viii place
the Western Union in a position TO
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the pubic,
The other way open TO enable
the Western Union 10 make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be TO lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication Of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at cost of
many millions. when there are more
than ample facilities for all business.
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction OF rates or introduction
OF new services.
