41 FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD WASHINGTON X-4380 address official correspondence to the federal reserve board July 14, 1925. SUBJECT: Amendment to Manual of the Federal Beserve System leased Wire Service. DtivO.* Sir: The Manual of the Federal Reserve System Leased Wire Service, issued ty the Board in 1922, provides under the heading "Instructions to Telegraph Operators" that "Telegrams containing code words will bear a check or count indicating the total number of code words in the message". On occasions this requirement has had the effect of delaying the dispatch of messages partly in code, -owing to the inability of the operators to readily determine just which words were code words, and the Board has adopted a suggestion made by the Leased Tire Committee that the requirement be withdrawn and the Manual bo amended in this respect to read as follows: "Telegrams containing code words will bear a check or count indicating the total numbe.r of words in the message. Form telegrams such as gold settlements, Tend, Druid, Drummer, and others of like character should not bear a check." please instruct your telegraph operators accordingly. Very truly yours, J. C. Ho$ll, Assistant Secretary. To Governors of all F.H.Banks.
