TELEGRAPHERS OF COUNTRY
HEARTILY ENDORSE PLAN
ev AssocIated Preae.

New Orleans, Jan. -15.-The organic
ed telegraphers Of the country heartily
endorse Postmaster General Hichcock's
proposed recommendation of govern
ment ownership and operation of the
telegraph and telephone lines of the
United States, according to a state
nIent given out here today by S. j.
Konenkamp, of Chicago. international
president of the Commercial Tele-
graphers of America.
The Commercial Telegraphers
Union went on record as fayoring
government ownership three years ago
at the Milwaukee convention said
Mr.. Konenkamp. 1.-THE Matchmaking
Of the telegraph and telephone lines
is also advocated by the American
Federation of Labor and the Do
nlinion Trades and Labor Congress of
Canada, with both of which we are
affiliated
The gradual. development OF the
telegraph and Telephone is toward
government ownership of both means
of transmitting commercial inteiIig-.
ence. and during the next Ave years
this question is bound to become a
burning issue before the public both
in the United States and Canada.
THE greatest factor in this direc-
ton is the consolidation of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph, and the
Western Union. which places both
means of conveying intelligence in the
hands of on group of people. Today
the American telephone and telegraph
occupies a position about on a parallel
with the Standard Oil Company it will
not be long until the people are forced
tc give this company the same seri-
Gus consideration that is being given
to other monopolies."
Mr.. Konenkamp said the companies
increased their rates On messages from
3 to so per cent in 1907 and that the
only reduction since that time had
been through the advent Of the day
and night letters.
Despite this increase which was
made under the pretext of incEeased
cost of labor and materials" ne de-
cIared, the average wage paid the
telegraph operator today is about 81
per month less than the average wage
paid in 1888"
He said the average wage paid tele-
graphers In England is about the same
as ia the United States. "notwith-
standing that the cost of living in
England is only about IS per cent OF
/ the cost of living in this country.
