The Trans Atlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The transatlantic cable situation
is as follows;
The Mackay group of seven ca
bles, inclu, ~ the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nection with the telegraph lines of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and the Mackay land
lines for their United States eonnec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two Of which are British
companies owning FIVE OF the eight
cables.
7t0o only of the British oUned
cables terminate in the United States
and all of them are entirely depen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection tOith any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre of
business, and are now Worked excIu-
siUsiy, 80 far as business 10 concerned,
IDith the Western Union.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

As at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business Is practically
all cash service, l. G. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours Of the
day common 20 both sides and during
these hours at least 7S% Of the cable
business Is done. This is demon
stTated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests Of international
business nothing should be done TO
interfere in any way with the so-ealled
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear TO ac-
eommodate such messages during the
few business hours common 10 both
countries but to continue TO eonhne
the cables TO this class Of service, as
at present, will utilize only about 2S%
of the existing capacity Of millions of

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-Ameriean Gable
Company and the Direct U. S. Gable
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 econon1i-
cal operation.
Second, the Introduction of new
forms Of service to the advantage of
the public.

Monopoly of Gable .
Business impossible

There Is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Maekay-will continue to exist.
The Maekay Companies is a 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 Maekay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as ono system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
II operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled TO
make two distinct advances In the
transatlantic cable business;
I-BETTER SERVICE. This will be
insured by more efficient and eeonom-
zeal 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. II will
continue TO lie dormant and unutilizsd
under existing conditions and tradi-
lions. 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 nstionalize its land lines by
opening them 10 all trans Atlantic
cable companies.

The Lincoln Journal comes back at

merely to emphasize the fact that Lin
coin merchants do not reap proper

is timed too early for fall buying. If
so, we regret it as Lincoln's misfortune,
but suggest that Lincoln stop finding
fault with Omaha for timing its con-
ventions and gala days to facilitate
business. Lincoln's complaint is ad-
mission that it would like to get as
much trade as it can out of the state
fair visitors, so why blame Omaha
when it's merchants succeed where Lin
coin tries and fails.

We haven't either of us saved much

Will Obey Heart.
OF course, my dear little girl, you
will obey your heart, no matter what
my advice is, because that is what all
women will do once the home dream fills
their brains with it's alluring visions.
My advice, however, would be for both
of you to make up your minds that you
will marry in two years or perhaps in a
year, and that during the coming
months you will live as economically as
possible, so as to have cozy nest egg
to start out with, then make up your
minds to be happy on the small income
of your husband.
Use your advertising knowledge and
business instinct to help and encourage
him to bigger things in a business way,
and success will come. But don't plunge
in, with nothing ahead and no prospects,
for, my dear girl. the first cry that will
rise to your lips when the pinch comes
will be. Well, l might have had every
thing nice if hadn't given up my posi-
tion," and those words will be a sword
that will stab your husband to the heart.
