Western Union To Hike Rates In Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission approved sweeping rate increases for Western Union Telegraph Co. effective Nov 1. A 15 word telegram rises from 2.75 to 3.75, overnight wires up to 100 words from 1.30 to 3, and other charges for telephones, telegram confirmations, money orders up to 50 dollars, messenger delivery, and intrastate Telex also climbing. The moves, linked to interstate hikes after the federal freeze, are expected to add about 206,000 dollars annually, though Western Union forecasts a slight Pennsylvania loss in net business.
