Clnrenco II Mnckay, President of the Postn! Telegraph Company, bolus asked icgnrdlng the Incrcaso In the telegraph rules which went Into ef- fect y by order of Postmaster Oencral Hurleson, said that If Post- master Oeneral Hurlcson would re- turn Its lines to tho Postal Telegraph Cublo Company nt onco that tho company would restoro the old tola-grap- h rates at mice. \Tho total jtulcgraph business of tho country Is npprnxlmntoly So.00O,oOO,\ \i'J'JJJiiJjiiWJ'Thla 20 per ernt, increasi ordered uy Mr. jturlcuon means mi Inerenno of 116,000,000 to tho telegruph luers. Thut It Is abso- lutely unnecessary to Jncroaao tele- graph rates Is nhown by tho faat that the representatives of tho Postmas- ter General now II ml wo havo been ablo to hold up our earnings and prollts to expectations, and those earnings nnd prollts for tho year commencing July 31, 1918, tho date when tho Government claims to have taken control, will bo more than twlco tho compensation which Mr. Hurlcson has given our company. \In tho sir months ending Jon. Jl we havo earned moro than tho com- pensation awarded to us by Post- master General Hurlcson for a wholo year. If wo had been allowed to keep our property nnd opcrato It wo would not havo thought of raising the rates, nnd thero would not havo Iteen tbo slightest occasion for raising the rates. \Mr. Hurlcson bus agreed to pay tho Western I'nlon more than ho should have agreed to, and In ordor to realize that amount ho ban to raise the rates. \Hecclpts and expenditures of tho postal system us ndmlnlstered by our own staff since the Government as- sumed to take control show there hus hern no such material change as to require, or even Justify, an In rates. I bellovn tbo trouble is due to the fact that Mr. Hurlcson agreed to pay them too much com- pensation and to the fact that tho Western l.'nlon Is not administered carefully and economically. \What Mr. Hurlcson Intends to do with tho prollts which he is taking away from us we do not know. We do know that If wo bad boen left alone thero would have been no In- crease in rates nnd no loss of protlt to us. \If Mr. Hurlcson will return our lines to uh at once we will carry on the telegraph buslnois at tho old rates at once. This certainly Is a fair proposition and should appenl to tho American public, who aro paying the Increased telegraph rates.\ ASKS CELL OF ANOTHER. iinllor Wniitu to erie Sentence.
