That the Pacific Northwest need not
take second place with any uther sec

killing of 2100-pound steer at the

WESTERN UNION OFFICER DENIES
Postal Claims Western Union Can
not Prove Itself Not Liable
Under Sherman
aM

New York. June 13.-The Postal
Telegraph company, through Its
periodical bearing the company's
name, boldly challenged its rival, the
Western Union, to prove that since
the latter concern merged with the
American Telegraph and Telephone
company 1t is not subject to, the
penalties of the Sherman antitrust
law as construed by the supreme
court In the Standard Oil decision.
The Postal declares that the West
ern Union forbids the railroads allow
ing it to construct its own lines along
the railroads, there being provision
In the contracts between the rail-
roads and Western Union, that the
railroads shall not allow 1t. The pro
vision has been declared illegal by
the highest courts in the country and
yet the railroads live up to 1t for fear
that otherwise the Western Union
will withdraw its entire service and
leave the railroads without telegraph
roe-'
service. Hence the Postal telegraph
company has to condemn lts rignt OIL
way on the railroads. The Western
Union causes It's own lawyers 70 con,
duct the defense for tine railroads ana
pays them for SO doing. Ihs mas
been the situation for many years
past and is the situation To-Day :,
When seen Theodore n. vail presl'
