Raleigh, February 8. 1887 tv,-'' "t ' j , t Dear -Sir.As you doubtless under- stand, the railroads of this State have all been sending out the weather and cold-wave warnings which they got F from the representative of the United States Signal Service here (free of any charge, of course) to all of their agents having telegraphic connection with their, head office. . - J- - - company, wnose ueciarea purpose is to make the National Government, the State, or some one, pay them for transmitting those messages, has for- bidden some of the railroads, including yours, from sending this information to their agents, and there is danger that the railroads may have to stop it, however much they may regret to do so, in order to avoid trouble with the Western Union Company. Under the contracts between this company and-the railroads, each rail road company is assigned one or more wires for its exclusive use, and they are only restricted to what the mana gers, officers and agents send as "rail road business." They are forbidden, of course, from doing a general telegraph business for compensation. But the railroad managers have maintained, up to this time, that this information ' is of great value and advantage to the railroads in their1 business, and they had, therefore, a perfect right to send it out along their lines wherever it would benefit them. The State Weather Service is a purely voluntary organization, as youJ know. It has no appropriation, no revenues and no source from which to get any. Every one connected with it, from top to bottom, does his work without compensation. These weather warnings are public information, prepared at the expense of the people and sent out for the ben- efit of the people. The Western Union and. other telegraph companies receive ! large revenues from the government for forwarding the information from J the signal stations, and then again, for ; j distributing it to the large towns and morning papers all over the country, iand they ought to be satisfied with what they are already receiving. I ! emphasize the fact that this informa- j tion when it reaches Raleigh is public j j property, and that the Western Union ! Company have already, when it j reaches here, been paid every tariff ; which they have any right to collect upon these weather warnings, and that the, railroad companies and every oiner person ana corporation in ine ;land have a perfect right to all the I profits which may be derived from j them. ' ; j Therefore, as head of the State nr 1.1 c T 1.1 i- . . . . , - -A , against this 'effort of the Western Union Company to collect an addition- , i ii i v al tanff on information which 18 public property and has already paid them every uue mey can jusuy aemanu. 1 he telegraph company is as much intprptAn in thi maHAr a tha rail-I v.-v . roads, and they OUght to treat this j subject in the same generous manner ; in which the railroads desire to treat j it. It would appear to me that this i act on the part of the Western Union j Company, if enforced, would do much I the weather messages to their patrons ! free of charge. ! send you this statement because ! you have so magnanimousl v assisted in this enterprise, and because I believe it is due you, and also for the purpose of asking your assistance in resistingr in a proper but earnest manner, this ! interference on the part of the Western i :- nion Telegraph Company.
