S. Cable Business, Showing Capacity of the Cables and the Proportion Now Utilized, Propose;:l Modification of Existing Arrangements A provisional modification of an arrangement which has_existed for many years has been reached between the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, The Anglo-American Cable Company and the Direct U. S. Cable Company, under which the cable sys- tems of these companies now worked exclusively in business connection with each other, but operated and maintained separately, will be oper- ated in direct physical connection with each other and with the Western Union land system. Two objects are to be attained by this arrangement: First, more efficient and economi- cal operation. Second, the introduction of new forms of serviée to the ‘advantage of the public. The Trans-Atlantic Cabie Situation and Competition The trans-Atlantic cable situation is as follows : The Mackay group of seven ca- bles, including the German cables, owned by or werked in physical con- nection with the telegraph lines of that company form one system. The French cables comprise an in- dependent system, using both the Western Union and the Mackay land lines for their United States connec- tion. In competition with these is the Western Union group of cables, eight in all, owned by three scparate com- panies, two of which are British companies owning five of the eight cables. Two only of the British owned cables terminate in the United States and all of them are entirely depen- dent on the Western Union for their connection with any telegraph system, or for their redching any centre of business, and are now worked exclu- sively, so far as business is concerned, with the Western Union. Efficiency Increased, Waste Prevented The proposed arrangement between the Western Union, the Anglo-Amer- ican and the Direct U. S. companies will bring the eight cables of the three companies under one operating con- trol. The consequent increase in effectiveness and economy will place the Western Union in a position to offer certain advantages in cable service not now enjoyed by the public. The other way open to enable the Western Union to make such im- provements and introduce such new services as it proposes to do, would be to lay new cables. This would seem to be the height of folly. Duplication of the existing trans- Atlantic_cable facilities at a cost of many millions, when there. are more than ample facilities for all business, would put an unnecessary financial burden upon an already fully burdened business and would probably postpone the reduction of rates or introduction of new services. Limited Business Hours and Idle Facilities As at present carried on, the trans- Atlantic cable business is practically all flash service, 1, e. instantaneous. Owing to the difference in time, there are only a few business hours of the day common to both sides and during these hours at least 75% of the cable business is done. This is demon- strated by ‘the accompanying chart. In the interests of international business nothing should be done to interfere in any way with the so-called fiash or instantaneous service, and the lines should be kept clear to ac- commodate such messages during the few business hours common to both countries; but to continue to confine the cables to this class of service, as at present, will utilize only about 25% of the existing capacity of millions of property and places on that limited service all the capital, maintenance and operating charges. The limited time and the character of the business, if best results are to THE WESTERN UNION New York, Sept. Ist, (911, be obtained; demand " direct cable cir. cuits between principal centres of the two sides of the Atlantic, as well as special circuits devoted to special business. Efficient Service Requires Sufficient Facilities To meet these requirements it is essential not only that there be at al! times sufficient cable facilities, under one control, but that they should be operated interchangeably with each other and in close physical connec- tion with land ‘lines as one system. Ample spare facilities are necessary to provide against the very irequent cable interruptions. Neither the Western Union nor any one of the companies of the Western Union group has, independently of tie others, facilities enough tu handle the business which at times any one company might be calied upon 1o take care of, because of some particular rush of business, or because of some cable interruption. Nor could any one company furnish all the direct circuits necessary for efficient serice, al- though the combined facilines of these companies are ample if they could be used supplementary to each other and interchangeably. As it is, cach company operates its own cables through separate and dis- tinct offices and under separate 2nd distinct management. Allinterchange of business is by actual transfer of the business from one company to the other, with the consequent delay and interruption of a service in which seconds are valuable: Daily and Week-end Cable Letters So soon as the proposed arrang. ment goes into effect, the Western Union purposes, with the consent of the British Post Office Department, to intreduce at least two new features or services in addition to the proposed deferred rate—the i DAILY CABLE LETTER and the WEEK-END CABLE LETTER at a very low rate for cable service only. This will enable the public to save the six to eight days consumed in the trans-Atlantic passage of mails. Monopoly of Cable Business Impossible There is no cable monopoly pos- sible. - The three systems—the Western Union, the French and the Mackay—uwill continue to exisf The Mackay Companies is a hold- ing organization with no physical property, but exercising through stock ownership, lease or contract, operat- ing control of various companies owning land lines and cables which make up the Mackay System. Through this control all the various properties are operated as one system to great advantage in service over what could be given by these same companics if operated separately. The French cables form another system. The Western Union System, under the proposed arrangement for one operating _control over the present segregated units, will be enabled to make two distinct advances in the trans-Atlantic cable business: 1—BETTER SERVICE. Thiswillbs insured by more efficient and cconom- ical working resulting from single direction over the operations of both cables and land lines. 2—PUBLIC ADVANTAGES. The greater part of the cable capacity has been and is now unutilized. It will continue to lie dormant and unutilized under existing conditions and tradi- tions. The Western Union purposes to make these wasted facilities useful to the public by means of new kinds of cable service. In addition, the Western Union in- tends to nationalize its land lines by opening them to all trans-Atlantic cable companies. TELEGRAPH COMPANY Theo. N. Vail, President Do You Need Printing ? 356 .
