whatever competition might Be found

whatever competition might be found
to exist.
IF real merger were made and
time given to complete the merger
sone economies and additional new
services Of advantage to the public
might be introduced. Whatever has
been done already, it is believed, will
be allowed to stand, and 1t is probable
that some additional cooperative
work may vet be accomplished.
There is no setback in this separa-
tion, to the material interests Of eth
er company, but on the contrary, now
that there is some understanding of
what can be done and what cannot be
done, greater progress along the lines
defined can be expected.
sThe attorney general has been very
considerate Of the material interests of
either company SO far as consistent
with his public duty, and this attitude
was clearly reflected by the president.
We think the problem has been worked
out to the best interest Of the public
and Of the companies"
To the foregoing Vice President
Kinsbury, OF the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, added that no
plan for the disposal Of the company :
holdings in the western Union has
yet been considered.
@You may rest assured he said,
"that however it is done, it will be
done in absolute good faith. There
will be complete separation Of the
control"
The holdings in question amount to
about $29.OOO,0OO par value and we're
purchased, it is understood, at about
$50 a share.
Mr.. Vail win resign as president of
the Western Union, Mr. Kinsbury
said, and other directors Of the latter
company who are directors Of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company will also resign. Mr.. Kins-
bury thought that the reciprocal ar
rangements between the two compa-
nies in respect to kilograms received
and delivered by telephone might be
continued.
Maeleay Is Pleased
Clarence H. Mackay, president Of
the Mackay company, which controls
the Postal Telegraph company and
the Commercial Cable company, rivals
Of the Western Union and the Amer
8ean TelspfdA8 aad 3 gsiesiaph coEn
pany, issued the following statement
this afternoon:
"It has been a bitterly fought con-
test. The result is a gratifying so
luton of the whole trouble. We hope
and believe it will work out SO that
no further cause FOR complaint may
exist, either on the part Of the pub
lie or on our part. Anybody with any
perspective at all could have seen
during the past few years that there
would be an end to huge combine
tion whose chief purpose was to
throttle competition in order to con
trol and monopolize. We feel CRATE
full to the administration and partic-
ularly to Attorney General McRey
nolds for the result. The department
of justice took the matter up on its
own initiative and, without any at
tempt to shift or evade responsibility.
the attorney general has brought
about this complete solution"

$4,000 ANNUALLY
IN HONESDALE.

Although the Borden plant at this
place is not as large as the Gurney
Electric Elevator Works, it however
distributes annually $50, 900
which is nearly as large a payroll.
This large amount of money goes
into the homes of the farmers within
a radius of ten miles of Honesdale.
A portion of the 100000 includes
labor at the plant, freight and local
repairs.
The new shipping station, located
along the Erie line, at Honesdale is
6Sx299 feet and is one of the most
modern and up-to-date plants of its
kind on the Erie system. There are
20 men employed under Superintend-
ent Curtis, all Of whom live in or
near Honesdale.
The station receives milk from 80
dairies. At the signing of the spring
and fall contracts, the Borden people
send representatives out to white
wash the barns of their patrons, for
which a small sum is charged. Some
farmers, however, spray their own
barns.

FREDERICK ZWICK FALLS FROM
LADDER; FRACTURES ARM.
Was Engaged in Painting Roof of
Exhibit Cars When Ladder Slid
and Threw Him to Ground.

Frederick Zwick, plumber en-
ployed by o. M. Spettigue, received
an injury to his right arm on Tues
day afternoon, that will render him
unable to do any work for several
weeks, if it does not permanently
affect the arm.
He had been sent by the hard
ware firm of o. M. Spettigue to do
some repair work and painting on
the North of Bay Counties Exhibit
Cars which are located on the spur
track of the D. G H. near the city
hall. He had been working on the
roof of the rear car and was getting
down by means of ladder placed
against the car when the ladder slid
sideways for a distance of about
three feet, and caught up suddenly
on a projection in the roof When
the ladder started to move Zwick
released his hold and when it stop
ped suddenly he was precipitated
headlong to the ground. The fall
was only seven or eight feet, but
the man struck his hand first and
the force of the impact caused the
right arm to break at the joint. The
forearm joint was pushed through
the skin of the arm and it was fear
ed that the cords and tendons were
severed. Several men were stand
ing near, witnessed the accident and
ran to his assistance. DR.. Ely was
called and Zwick was taken to the
doctors house where it was found
that there had been compound dis
location. 1t is thought that
the use of the arm will
be endangered. Mr.. Zwick carried
$1,000 accident insurance with Bent
ley Bros. and will receive $500 per
week while kept from work.
He was taken to the State hospital
this afternoon.

BASE BALL,

The Citizens sporting scribe notes
that the German Catholic club has
organized base ball team with the
expectation of being the representa-
tive team of the town. He has also
heard that they have scheduled two
games with the strong Taylor team
for Memorial Day, and is glad to see
that someone has push" enough to
go ahead and do things. Your scribe
admires the G. G. club for this ele-
ment of push" and think they de-
serve Encouragement. Honesdale
should be represented by the very
best that can be produced by home
talent in the line of base ball. While
the G. G. club will have a good team
it probably will not be as strong as
it could be made. Honesdale wants
and deserves the best.
1t IS known that If regular
Honesdale team is organized it will
have undisputed rights to the
grounds, whenever they want them
as the owners of the property have
always made this clear.
Your fan" is still of the opinion
that the Honesdale base ball team
should be reorganized for the sea
son of 1918, and know it can be
done with a little push" Now
once more, Tets get busy" How

Milford here several years ago, anC
