Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements it is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated INTERCHANGEABLE with each
other and in close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
TO provide against the very frequent
cable intern ptions.
Neither the Western Union moi any
one Of the companies Of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any
company might be called upon to take
care Of, because of some particular
rush Of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service,~al-
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
AS it is, each company operates it's
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. Ali interchange
Of business is by actual transfer of the
business from one company TO the
othsr, with the consequent delay and
interruption of a service in which
seconds are valuable.

The Trans Atlantic Gable

Es, az follows:
The Mackay group of seven ca

The French cables comprise an in

Western Union and the Mackay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group of cables, eight

panies, two of which are British
companies owning FIVE of the eight
cables.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
The Western Union, the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direct u. S. companies
villa bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con-
troi. The consequent increase in
effectTve and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service ut now enjoyed by the public.
Tho other way open to enable
fbe Western Union to make such inn
provementa and Introduce such new
services az it proposes to do, would
Be TO lay new cables. This would
seom to be the height of folly.
Duplication Of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost Of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
harden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
tho reduction of rates or Introduction

CARPENTERS INJUNCTION
DISSOLVED IN CHANCERY

TRENTON, Sept. 15.-The temporary
injunction placed upon the United
Brotherhood OF Carpenters and Joiners
of America and affiliated organizations
by Nice-Chancelolr Howell last July
was dissolved by Vice-Chanceilor
Walker in an opinion filed in the Court
of Chancery today.
The suit was brought in the name OF
Michael Altman and members of Local
1887, of Newark, which had been sus-
pended for alleged violation of the
rules of the brotherhood. The restrain
ing order OF Vice-Chencellor Howell
prohibited the defendant organizations,
which were the national brotherhood
and the Newark district body, from
preventing the members of Local 11Sl
from procuring employment or boy
cotting any of the complainants OF
their employers.

will be made at 7:35 o'clock tonight
from Boston.
All week have the Presidents clerical
mechanics been busy with these finish
ing touches. Every day for more than
a fortnight the President has been busy
consulting data, and every morning for
more than a week he has arisen at 5
O'Clock and within an hour begun die
tating speeches.
Is Fifty-four Years Old To-day.
Today is his hfty-fourth birthday and
Mr.. Taft plans to spend the day quiet

malta. He will start for Boston by
motorboat about 8 o'clock. Mrs. TAFT
probably will go with him TO Boston,
but will return TO Beverly to remain
throughout October.
Two years ago today the President
started from Beverly on his first cross
continent trip after he had entered the
White House.
The President announced the other
day he was going to make a few
political speeches, but it is admitted
thai most of his speeches will have to
be taken politically. He will not call
an extra session of Congress to take
up the tariff question. He will tell his
hearers on the trip that he is ready to
recommend a revision Of the tariff on
wool and cotton, but that he will not
make the recommendation until the
opening of the regular session. He
admits that the tariff question is now

a political issue, illustrated by the diff
ference between the wool bill passed
at the late special session of Congress
and the kind of bill he will recommend
based on the report of the Tariff
Board.
VIII Talk ON Tariff Board.
Mr.. Taft will give the people of the
West, the insurgent country, am edu-
catlonal talk on the Tariff Board. The
speeches he has prepared are as politi-
cal as though prepared for an avowed
political campaign. They contain his
IDEAS of non-partisan bills and a COM
parison Of such proposed bills with
bills passed by Congress.
The speeches the President has pre-
pared and will deliver which are not
partisan are on reciprocity, arbitration,
elimination of delays in court pro-
cedure, fertilization of The Panama
canal and uniformity of laws. His
speeches on trusts, maximum and
minimum features of the tariff, Tariff
Bo I'D, dollar diplomacy" and the
treaties with Nicaragua and Honduras
smack of R%epublieanism.
John Barrett. director of the Bureau
of American Republics. dropped into
Beverly today fresh from a trip over
practically the same ground which the
President will cover. He told the Presi-
dent the people of the West want him
and that the people of California are
counting upon him as the big drawing
card at the breaking of ground for
the Panama canal exposition.
