Employees of the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Western
Electric Company with the Bell Tele-
phone Company men will be included
in the new signal corps to be formed
as part of the Citizens Reserve Corps,
plans for which are now under con-
sideration in Washington. The an
nouncement was made this morning
The Bell System made the announce
ment yesterday and the other COM
panies followed.
There is a possibility that the Postal
Telegraph Company will fall in line
later, although no official announce
ment has been made.
Gus Catherman, local manager of
the western Union, has not been
notified of the action and stated this
morning that it is not likely men will
be drawn from smaller cities unless
the situation becomes very serious.
Il am in favor of the project and
think every large concern should offer
its services to the government in times
of war" he said.
Manager Clark Diehl, of the Postal
Telegraph Company, here, when asked
as to whether his company had issue1
any statement concerning the signal
corps project, stated that he had not
that he thought the Postal Telegraph
Company would fall in line with the
others should the occasion demand.
About 10000 expert telegra piers
are employed by the Western Union
and $4,000 expert electricians are
available for service from the West
ern Electric Company. These added
to $4,000 employees of the telephone
companies throughout the United
States, will give the government an
opportunity to select men best quail
fled for the most complete signal corps
ever organized.
