The principal assets in which Western Union is interested are the teletype and leased telegraph wires services, which are said to produce about $40,000,000 of gross revenue yearly. —'V/.' No little difficulty is expected in the determination of a transfer value for the teletype business for the reason; that the facilities for interconnection in this system of written communication are the same wires used bv the Bell System in its telephone business. When Western Union buys "the teletype system, therefore, the outright transfer will involve little more than the machines and the plant used in estab¬ lishing connections between teletype subscribers, The Westrn Union, it is undrstood, will be required to lease from American Telephone the same telephone wires that are now used for teletype service, ; The practical result will be that American Telephone will continue ,to derive an indirect revenue from the teletype business through rental of telephone wires. Western Union will ; operate the system and Ml •the subscribers."V://'.V V" v.1' ■ '"('/ Western Union has a facsimile telegraph machine and system-.of its own which has been competing with the telephone "company's teletype.

It can well be a matter of pride to all railway officers and employees that through¬ out the year their efforts successfully have measured up to every requirement. As in Great Britain and the United States, Canadian experience of the past four years has shown that the railroads are the mainspring of the country's industrial effort. . ''/-'/'j'/; It has been a year of many and great difficulties. / To these, climatic troubles of last winter greatly contributed and for this and other reasons operating costs steadily"moved upwards, Shortage of equipment and scarcity of labor were contributing adverse factors, but despite it ail, • war-time requirements- have been- met and the ordinary bu-iness of the country has in no way suffered by reason of the unprecedented traffic/which the railways have been called upon to shoulder. Freight and passenger cars have carried heavier loads than ever before and engines have hauied longer trains. Freight "Cars reaching the end of their journevs have been re^aded and started bsck in record times, and improvements to operating facilities" along the line have expedited theirs movement/and further enhanced ' their equipment/ ' steadily was seemingly the devolved almost increasing, impossible < .safety in every direction, This higher standard; of //iLi/ Since the first great.war interruption, and the direction./ without and steady achieved the case of striving in operating efficiency has not been solely bv reason of the effort of the past 12 months. In the Canadian Pacific Railway it is the result of years of .that ended progress results which has been now are greatly to the national war effort are the fruits of long-time planning and effective execution. Nor- is thi* progress the result of great increase in physical facilities. .-/ Additions /to,; rolling stock ^nd motive power were meagre during the years of depressed contributing so of. what ordinarily would have been con¬ During the war it has been necessary for national reasons to keep' additions to equipment at a minimum. While this company's traffic load of the past year has been con¬ siderably greater than that experienced in any year of the previous war,, the rolling stock a^nd motive power available has been con¬ siderably less. ^ A comparison of Canadian Pacific operations in this respect for. far short requirements. normal sidered compared with those of 1939 is of interest. The 1943 registered an' increase of 70% in ton miles, in passenger miles was about " 250%. Over the same period the average daily mileage of freight cars increased by more than 25%, while passenger*: miles" "per train mile showed an increase of 185%. The increase in gross ton miles hauled per loco¬ motive was 50%.' In regard to the greatly increased passenger business this increase in load was achieved in part by curtailment of parlor car services on/certain runs and of tr°ins that in normal times hacf served summer resorts and tourist traffic generally. The, attitude of the past as of the while (he year traffic freight " fell and business increase general public in this respect has oeen have accepted re'U'tanfc inconveniences Thev sympathetic and he pful. as a the late Fall the railways .were met/ with a government'' request for a special effort in this'direction. In order, to cope with the need the Canadian Pacific objective1 set was for a movement of In period. the points to the head of the lakes. From August 1 to the middle of December this company delivered a daily average of 436 cars. While the lake-head .to eastern points move¬ ment was in progress we also delivered an average of 49 cars daily. During the crop moving period a total of 65,727 cars of grain were handled; a daily average of .582 cars over 113 working days/.

As emphasis has shifted from productionof defensive to offensive weapons, it has been necessary to slow or halt production on a number of articles and take on the manufacture of new types of equipment. . In most cases we have been able to make' the change over without disrupting production or laying off employees."With approximately 117,000; people now employed, the Westinghouse payroll has reached almost a million dollars a day, The total payroll in November, 1943, was $28,770,528, compared with $21,087,992 in November, 1942.—V. 158, p. 2519. - ; : 11 183,074 ; 'After provision for .
