This Is How Your Government Eased
Into the Telegraph Business
At the beginning of the last World War, few
teletypewriter machines were put in service for
the Division of Central Administrative Services
Of the Office for Emergency Management.
This was temporary, small-scale operation for
q wartime agency. These employees and ma.
chimes were later transferred to the Federal
Works Agency, and then to the General Serv.
ices Administration, each time with more and
more people, and more and more equipment.
It appears evident that early in the series Of
transfers Of what was to have been purely tenn.
porary. emergency set-up. the decision was
reached to use this tiny beginning as the nucleus
for Government telegraph system to perpetuate
Government jobs and compete with our free
enterprise communications system.
How well these plans succeeded is matter of
record. By the close Of the June 30. 1851 fiscal
year the General Services Adminishator re.
ported telegraph volume Of 81 million words
annually opsr this government system. triple the
lo40 voLunpe.
As a result, the number of Government tele.
grams handled by Western Union has dropped
year by year, and month by month, and is cur.
rently less than "a percent Of it's l943 level.
Here, in brief, is how your Government eased
into the telegraph business-how, in just 10
years, handful Of people and few machines,
assigned to temporary, wartime operation,
mushroomed into an overwhelming Federal
agency, threatening to engulf the remainder Of
the Governments telegraph business, and no,o
reaching out into the commercial telegraph
field.

may be either by telephone, with con-

Western Union Says:

Yes, there is now in operation, and
broadening its operation all the time,
government telegraph system, tax-tree and
unsupported competing with Western
Union for the telegraph business of govern.
ment and now reaching out for commercial
traffic.
Evening star., 1952-05-05

Western Union, paying directly millions
of dollars in taxes, is thus in effect re-
quired to pay the running costs for its
government network competitor. And, to
draw the moose still tighter, Western Union
is compelled to subsidize the competing air
mail service, through the collection from
telegraph users of millions more in tele.
graph excise taxes ($37 millions in 1851.
The government network serves just Sc
cities directly, compared to Western
Unions thousands o.. offices. BUT NOTE
THAT MORE THAN so PERCENT OF
WESTERN UNIONS MESSAGE REV.
ENUES COME FROM THOSE 56 CITIES.
These Sc points could hardly have been
better selected, if the purpose were to serve
as few places as possible, and at the same
time to drain off a maximum amount of
the telegraph business needed to sustain
4 truly nationwide telegraph system.
What the government networks retiLe
service" means is simply that it is left to
the privately.operated telegraph system. to
support the government network, BY main
tanning thousands Of offices at places ,vhere
government hasn't yet decided to expand
its osVn service at the taxpayers further
