Monopoly of Gable
business Impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Macxsy-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
ing control of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
sc greg ated units, Will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
transatlantic cable business:
r--BETTER SER VICE. This will be
insured by more efficient and econom-
ical working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cables and land lines.
a-PUBLIC ADVANTA GES. The
greater part of the cable capacity has
been and is now untitled. 1t will
continue to lie dormant and unutilized
under existing conditions and tradi-
tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means of new kinds
of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all trans Atlantic
cable companies.

, ing league officials, President Miller is
one of those real true sportsmen who
realize that sporting organization
such as a base bail league, must have
fair and impartial handling all around,

game. Miller has proven himself the
right man in the right place, at the
head of the organization, and his man.
agement does not brook the slightest
criticism. His position has been one
of those wherein only the difficult
situations come before the public
where as the constant hard grind Of
his work behind the throne shows
not in daily comment, but indirectly
in the professional exhibitions of base
ball witnessed during the season. The
volvnfinous and tedious work assigned
to Secretary e. B. Fisher, of Morris
town, could not have been placed in
better hands, and NEST courteous and
fair treatment has been accorded by
Mr.. FISHER to all teams alike.

Proposed Modification OF
Existing Arrangements

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct u. S. Cable
Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and econon,i-
cal operation.
Second, the introduction of neD
forms of service TO the advantage of
che public.

Owing to the difference in time, there

these hours at least ISL of the cable

In the interests of International
