GOVERNMENT TAKES OVER WIRE CONTROL

Foctm&ster General Burleson Issues Statement to Company Managers and Employes.

WASHINGTON, August 1.—Control of telephone and telegraph lines was taken over at midnight last night by the post office department and their operation placed under the general supervision of a special committee created for the purpose by Postmaster General Burieson.

Mr. Burleson announced that nntil further notice the companies will continue operation In the ordinary course through the regular channels, and that ail officers and employes will continue in the performance of the present duties on the same terras of employment. The plan is, however, to co-ordinate the facilities of the various companies to the best interest of the public and the stockholders. 'Investigations into wire conditions beinp conducted by the special committee composed of First Assistant Postmaster General Koons, David J. Lewis, former member of the tariff commission, and William H- Lamar, solicitor of the postoffice department, will be continued so that all possible Information can be secured before any changes are undertaken. "Pursuant to the proclamation of the president of the United States," said Mr. Burleson's statement," I have assumed possession, control and supervision of the telegraph and telephone systems of the United States. Until further notice the telegraph and telephone companies will continue operation in the ordinary course of business through regular channels. Regular dividends heretofore declared and maturing interest *on bonds, debentures, and other obligations may be paid in due course and the companies may renew or extend thefr maturing obligations unless otherwise ordered by the postmaster general. "All officers, operators and employes of the telegraph and telephone companies will continue in the performance of their present duties, reporting to the same officers as heretofore and on the same terms of employment. Should any officer, operator or employe desire to leave the service he should give notice as heretofore to the proper officer."
