The Federal Communications Com
mission reported to the Senate today
1t had worked with the Black Lobby
Committee in procuring copies Of tele-
grams in order to secure information
regarding the forgery or destruction
Of messages.
Citing that the Black committee
had developed evidence Of forgery
and destruction of kilograms, the COM
mission said: I'VE considered it our
duty to make a thorough mvestiga-
ton"
1T was clear" the report continued.
'that the commissions study and the
investigation being made by the Sen
ate committee, while for entirely diff
ferent purposes, paralleled each other
to an extent.
In order to secure information with
the least possible disruption of the
business of the telegraph company, 1t
was agreed that the separate studies
of the commission and Of the commit
tee to be made in Washington should
be co-ordinated."
Answers B0rah's Request.
The commissions report was pre-
pared in response to a resolution BY
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho
asking full information as to its ac-
tivities in connection with the Lobby
Committees examination of kilograms
here.
Besides the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies, the report
showed that r. C. A. Communications
Once also was entered by commission
employees.
The commissions employees" the
report said, were instructed to lool
for violations of the tariffs filed with
the commission; for any indication oi
forgery Of kilograms, or destruction Of
records.
After the commissions employees
had completed their inspection, the
kilograms were examined by the Sen.

"The commissions examination was
conducted in the discharge of its du-
ties under the communications act.
THE cooperation between the com.
missions employees and the committee
investigators was such as was natural
between men in the same room, in
specting the same kilograms, under
unchallenged, though separate, au.
thority."
The investigation, it was said
brought to light several aspects of the
practices of the telegraph company
which must be further studied to cor
rect discrimination and irregularity."
Also revealed, the commission said
was the destruction by one telegraph
company "of all cash messages filed
on March S, 1885, and April Is, 1885
contrary to the commissions regula.
tons" In neither instance was the
company identified.

suits filed against Western Union to
