WASHINGTON, May 23.-fhe dram
attic fight between the Western Union
Telegraph Co. and the United States
government over the right to lay cable
nj Miami, Florida, which would connect
up with a British owned company in con-
trolling American communication to
South America has come to an end with
a victory for the government.
Through the influence of Secretary of
State Hughes, both houses of congress
have now passed a bill absolutely remov-
inc all doubt as to the right of the chief
executive to refuse or grant permits to
land cables in the United States. The
measure will be signed by President Hard
ing. and will become a law in few
days.
The race between the Western Union
which hoped that the supreme court
would hand down a decision before con
greSs could act and the government which
successfully urged congress to rush the
measure through and beat the courts de
cision is at an end.
All this tension has been occasioncd by
the knowledge of the government on the
enc hand that the rights of the executive
to issue cable permits had never been
sharply defined and the feeling of the
Western Union that if they once landed
the cable, no law could upset the arrange
ment without a big damage suit for it
would in effect be coufiscation of prep
erty.
The Wilson administration fought the
Western Union at every step in its effort
t. land a cable. And now the Harding
administration has adopted exactly the
stand of the preceding administration, and
has gone q step further. 1t has secured
the enactment of law that will hereafter
give the president Of the United States
the right to say whether any foreign CON
Germ can land a cable on American terri
tory.
There is of course back of the dispute
between the Western Union and the
American government something besides
mere law--it involves a question Of saw
ing an American owned cable company
from the destructive competition of a Brit
iSh company, which has formed an alliance
with the Western Union. The All
American Gable Co. which is owned by
American citizens, operates cables to both
coasts of South America. but is prevented
from laying cables along the Brazilian
coast because the British company has
monopoly there The Western Union and
the British company arranged to lay a
cable along the Brazilian coast which
would connect up through Miami, Flor

RULING FOR DIsTILLERS.
Exempt from DifferentiaI Tax on Stolen
Liquors


WASHINGTON. May 23-Distillers
are held exempt from extra taxes on
liquor withdrawn from warehouses for
.non-beverage purposes if diverted by
theft to Illegal uses, under am opinion
by Attorney General Daugherty submit
ted to Secretary Mellon and made public
last night.
The opinion was given i'm response to
request of the secretary for ruling
a. to the liability of distillers for the so
called differential tax on liquor when di-
verted from n6n-beverage purposes. The
differential TAX on distilled spirits
amounts to S4-20 a gallon. representing
the difference between the beverage rate
of S6.40 and the non-beverage rate of
$3.50.
In the absence of intention on the part
of the distiller to eyade the law, Mr.
Daugherty ruled. the sdifferential tax
could not be applied if the liquor was ac-
tually withdrawn for non-beverage pur-
poses.
