Burleson Fixes Compensation for Postal Tel Lines
Postmaster General Burleson announced a dispute over compensation to the Postal Telegraph Cable Co during government control. He issued an award based on available data, noting the company reported 1916 net operating income of 4,157,670 to wire control, vs 332,342 per ICC filings, rejecting a $3.8 million demand. He said final adjustment would be determined in court and denied claims that Western Union earnings exceeded its 1917 income.
