Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements IL is
essential not only tina, there be al 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
10 provide against the very ircquepI
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor anv
one Of the companies OF the Western
Union group has, independently OF the
others, facilities enough TO handle
the business which a. times any one
company might be callc upon 10 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 Tor efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample Il they
could be used supplementary to each
other and interchange ably.
rs IL IS, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
unei Offices and under separate and
distinct management All interchange
OF busiueos Is by actual transfer OF the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay aud
interruption Of service in which
seconds are valuable.

The Trans Atlantic Cabie
Situation and Competition

The trans Atlantic cable situation
Is as follows:
The Mackay group Of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by OF 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 counec-
ton.
In competition with these Is the
Western Union group OF cables. eight

panies, two of which are British
companies owning hve OF the cigh,
cables.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste PreUented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direc, u 5. companies
viii bring the eight cables OF the three
companies under one operating con
uol The consequent increase IN
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union IN a position TO
offer certain advantages IN cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open TO enable
the Western Union TO make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as u proposes 30 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 a cos, of
many millions. when there are more
than ample facilities ior all business,
would put an unnecessary fnaneial
burden upon an already fully butdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction Of rates OF introduction
OF new services.

Proposed Modificatio 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 Gable
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 opeT-
ated 81 direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are 20 be attained by
this arrangement;
First, more efficient and sconon,i.

Second. the Introduction of neu
forms Of service 10 the aduantake Of
the public.
