filed with the 'Toatal Telegraph com
pany of Texas." Mackay's company is
Known as the 2ack,v Postal Telegraph
system, and it maintains an office here,
the Postal Telegraph -company's office.
This compan3r, according to the mana
ger, is working- in competition with the
Western Union on all business, being
the only Mackay company having an

direct line was built into eastern Texas
to handle the business formerly done

The trouble between the Mackay Pos
tal and the Texas Postal is said to be
aji outcome of the Teported merger of j
the interests of the J3eil Telephone cor
poration and the Western Union, the
Bell corporation taking over the con
trol of the telegraph business. As the
Postal of Texas had its wires strung
on Bell poles the Mackay Postal with
headquarters in 2sew York, with whom
the Texas Postal had been doingmsi
ess under a pro rata agreements saw
that it would be necessary to have its
own lines in Texas in order to hold
the (business for the east. It is claimed
by "the Mackay company that when a
message is filed in a Texas Postal office
ta & station outside the state that can
not be reached by this company's lines
it is turned over to the Western Union
company- This, the tfackay company
holds in its circular, is a Jestraction
of competition. To protectitself the Xew
York company is building its lines into
Texas a fast as ipossrble.'
But the reported warfare between the
company of which Ciarerce E. Mackay
is president and general manager, and
the Western Union and Bell interests
will not affect the telegraph situation
in El Paso, according to the local man
ager, except to make competition keen
er, for the losal Postal office, being a
Mackay office, is keen for the business
here to beat the Western Union. The
"Postal Telegraph company of Texas"
!had an agreement with the local Pos
tal office for handling its business here
xmtil recently, when this agreement was
canceled, it is said 3y the telegraph officials.
