Gould on Government Control and Telegraph Trust
In New York on Feb 28 Jay Gould asserted that if Western Union fails to serve the public government control would be inevitable, but he predicted the company would prevail and that consolidation benefits business. He dismissed claims of trying to control the press. The Western Union injunction to block large stock distribution was extended with costs. other injunctions were dissolved. Court actions over consolidation were argued, with Everett Wheeler defending and contending the amalgamation posed no harm to the French Cable Company.
