WESTERN UNION AND
POSTAL co. AGREE
But New Arrangement, It Is
Said, Does Not Affect
FL Paso Postal
Office.

Local managers declare there is no
telegraph combination in Ell Paso. The
"Mackay Telegraph and Cable company
of New York Is issuing circular ct
ter saying that competition in many
Texas cities and towns has been de-
stroyed because the Postal Telegraph
and Gable company of Tes,s and the
Western Union Telegraph company
have an agreement by which messages
for points in the east are often trans
united over Western Union wires when
filed with the Postal Telegraph COM
pany of Texas" Mackay's company IS
Known as the Aiack&v Postal Telegraph
system, and it maintains an office here,
the Postal Telegraph -company's Office
This company, according to the mana
ger. is working in competition with the
Western Union on all business, being
the only Mackay company having an
office in Texas until recently, when q
direct line was built into eastern Texas
TO handle the business formerly done
by the Postal Telegraph company OF
Texas. a company operating within the
state.
The trouble between the Mackay Pos
tai and the Texas Postal is said to be
an outcome of the reported merger OF
the interests of the Bell Telephone cor
poration and the Western Union, the
Bell corporation taking over the con-
troll of the telegraph business. As the
Postal of Texas had its wires strung
on Bell poles the A1ackay Postal with
Headquarters in New York, with whom
the Texas Postal had been doing busl-
ness under a pro rata agreement, saw
that it would be necessary to have Its
own lines in Texas in order TO hold
the business for the east. 1t Is claimed
by the Mackay company that when
message is filed in a Texas Postal office
TO g station outside the state that can
not be reached by this company's lines
it is turned over TO the Western Union
company This, the Mackay company
holds in its circular, is a destruction
Of competition. To protectitself the New
York company is building its lines into
Texas as fast as possible.
But the reported warfare between the
company OF which Ciarerce Z. Mackay
is president and general manager, and
the Western Union and Bell interests
will not affect the telegraph situation
in FL Paso, according to the local man
ager. except TO make competition keen
er, for the losal Postal office, being q
Macxay office. is keen for the business
here to beat the Western UDlon The
Postal Telegraph company Of Texas"
had an agreement with the local Pos
tai office for handling its business here
until recently, when this agreement was
cancelled. it is said by the telegraph Off
Gals.
