PRIVATE CONTROL
Postal Telegraph Company An
nOunces an Immediate Reduc-
tiOn of 20 Per Cent. in It's
Rates

New York, July 31.-When control of
the telegraph systems of the country is
formally relinquished by the government
at midnight, a reduction of 20 per cent.
in rates will be made Immediately on the
lines of the Postal company, but the

put into effect after Postmaster-Gene
Burleson took control on April l.
Clarence ii. Mackay, president of the
Postal, announced in a statement late to-
day that the rate reduction would be
made in accordance with it's promise to
the public" He qualified the announce
ment, however. by saying that if expenses
continued to mount charges might have
! to with them.
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union, declared on the other
hand:
I'VE cannot see our way clear to dc
better than we are doing at this time"
In his announcement Mr.. Mackay ex.
planned that the 20 per cent reduction
represented the increase which Post.
master-General Burleson put into effect
and that the rates would be restored tc
what they were before the government
took over the lines.
Present rates on night letters, he said
would not be disturbed, but probabl,
would be reduced a little later The head
of the Postal company said the retur,
! of the wires to their owners marked th,
end OF "a powerful effort by the post
master-general and Bell Telephone
Western Union companies to eliminate tn.
competition of the Postal Telegraph
Gable company"
| Needs of Western Union employees fol
higher wages, Mr.. Carlton said wer,
recognized and they represented 66 pe,
cent. OF the total cost of providing tn,
service. lie declared the Western Unior
would strive to pay its employees wages
commensurate with the high cost of lv
Ing and would TASK a very moderate an,
wholly defensble income" in return 40
