Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement 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 will place
the Western Union in position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service no, now enjoyed blythe public.
The other way open TO enable
the Western Union to make such nm
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 ct
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully ourdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates or introduction
of new services.

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements II IS
essential not only that there be at al!
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 Interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor 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 one
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 its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct offices and under separate and
distinct management. Allinterehsnge
o. business is by actual transfer of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption OF a service IN which
seconds are valuable.

The Trans Atlantic Cable
Situation and Competition

The Atlantic cable situation
is as follows:
The Mackay group Of seven ca
bles, including 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 connec-
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.
Two only of the British owned
cables terminate in the United States
and all of them are entirely dePen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection vith any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre of
business, and are noU worked esciu-
siuely, SO far as business is concerned,
