mittee, charged today before the
House Interstate Commerce Com.
mittee, at hearings on a bill pro.
viding for Federal regulation of
communications systems.
These companies are the R. C. A.
Communications, the Commercial
Gable Co., Western Union, and
the French Telegraph Gable Co.,
Mr.. Murphy said. He added:
"AS a consequence of the
cable and radio facilities which
they control, and of their ar
rangementS with foreign gov
ernments and with other COM
municatiOnS companies through
out out the world, they have
an absolute monopoly on all
cable and radio telegraph busi.
ness which can be carried on
across the North Atlantic by
the people of this country.
From this monopoly there is
no escape"
Have Boosted Rates
Mr.. Murphy said these com
panies, together with OF h e +
American firms, increased night
letter rates 66 2-3 per cent Janu,
ary l, 1884, and boosted the rates
on fast messages across the North
Atlantic in amounts ranging from
so to 100 per cent.
Certain supervisory powers are
vested in the State Department
Mr.. Murphy testified, but officials
claimed the legal remedies are
not sufficient to make effective
action possible. He said:
I'VE have the spectacle of a
mOnOpOlistic group of COM
panieS almost wholly American,
having to obtain the consent of
foreign interests to outrageous
ly increase rates, while the
American government, itself
suffering from some of the new
rates and conditions, is not only
ignored in the matter, but
finds itself substantially power
less to take any action"
URGES LEGISLATION
He asked Congress to enact
legislation creating a tribunal to
regulate international communica.
tions.
Andrew r. Macdonald, member
Of the Wisconsin Public Service
Commission. and John E. Ben

Although a host of amendments

Republicans, the Democratic ma

against modifying the measure.
Amendments have perished by
overwhelming votes.
Majority leaders have circu-

Roosevelt favors the present draft
of the measure.
Senator Costigan DO of Colo
RADIO and other advocates of
severe restriction wish to make
the Senate bill conform with the
House measure by designating
the Federal Trade Commission as
the regulatory body. The Senate
bill now requires control by a
