facilities to the Western Union Telegraph Co. is expected to be reached
early in the new year and when the deal is completed the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co., retiring from the field of written com¬
munications,'"may drop part of its present corporate title.".■■■•;. :-"V
Telephone officials have been making an inventory of a telegraph
plant that might be of use to:the-enlarged-Western.Union Telegraph
system.
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.
The disposition of this
is something to be considered in plans for
shifting the teletype system to Western Union.

what

to

and upon the railways'
task of moving these vast
quantities of freight and unprecedented numbers of passengers and
delivering them where and when: they were required.
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.
.

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

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

generally speaking, limited only by productive
capacity, Mr. Mcintosh said, with an increasing proportion being taken
::,for war purposes.
Shipments in the durable goods divisions were
•limited, as expected, to a relatively small quantity of civilian products
but during -the year a total dollar volume of approximately $5,200,000
.of war products were completed and shipped from these divisions.
,
vy For
the near term and if the war lasts through the fiscal year
1944, it would seem that the compressed gas divisions may be expected
to continue to operate at capacity, which may be increased somewhat
if the company receives permission to build facilities for storing dry
ice during the winter' months to help meet the peak summer load/./

Saturday figures are not available at time of going to press.
Accordingly, in the above the last day of the week in all cases has to be estimated.
In the elaborate detailed statement, however, which we present further below
we are able to give the final and complete results for. the week previous—the week
ended Dec. 25.
For that week there- was an increase of 23.8%, the aggregate of clearings for the whole country having amounted to $9,047,116,826, against $7,308,632,287 in the same week in 1942.
Outside of this city there was an increase of
19 7%, the bank clearings at this center having recorded an increase of 27.8%.
We .y.
group'the cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located J
and from this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals
show an expansion of 26.9%, in the Boston Reserve District of 16.3%and in the
Philadelphia Reserve District of 17.7; In the Cleveland Reserve District, the totals
register an improvement of 5.3%, in the Richmond Reserve District of 32.1% and
in the Atlanta Reserve District of 50.8%.
In the Chicago Reserve District the totals
are larger by
11.6%, in the St. Louis Reserve District by-23.9%-and in the Min¬

In the Kansas City Reserve District the gain is
26.3%, in the Dallas Reserve District 7.4% and in the San Francisco Reserve District

The outstanding 1,000 shares of common stock

Telecoin Co. consisting of the ownership and operation of 450 coinoperated Bendix
Home Laundries, located chiefly in Metropolitan
New
York City and a small number of adjacent New Jersey cities.
These machines are placed in apartment houses for the use of the
tenants and in Army camps and Coast Guard training stations for
the use of the men in the service. The predecessor business mentioned
was
started in April of 1942, at which time the first machines were
placed in locations.
The last machine of the 450 was installed in
June of 1943.
Only a modest amount of capital was invested in the
business, and the machines largely paid for themselves out of income.
The cost of installing machines in the various locations was also paid
for out of income, and the cost was treated as expense and not capiCorp.

for the firsts
sales billed,period in 1942, it was
reported on Dec. 29 by A. W. Robertson, Chairman,
Despite this increased production rate, he pointed out, the company's
backlog of unfilled orders continues to be ever a billion dollars, if all
the plants owned by Westinghouse or operated by the company for
the Navy are included.
■":■•
Unfilled orders in Westinghouse-owned plants at the end of Nov.-'
amounted to $964,066,471, a little higher than a year ago.-:
Disclosing that Government terminations and cut-backs of war con¬
tracts with Westinghouse have amounted' to approximately $250,000,000
since the first of the year, Mr. Robertson said;
"These terminations have reflected the favorable progress of the
war for the United Nations."
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
