...Music Box Revues ran for four years before Irving Berlin met Ellin Mackay, pretty young daughter of Clarence Hungerford Mackay, board chairman of Postal Telegraph & Cable Corp. and an ardent Catholic. Social New York made a great to-do when it discovered that Mr. Mackay's daughter was serious about the songwriter who made no bones about his East Side background. Irving Berlin went quietly about his business, wrote "Always," the song which coincided with their engagement. If it were true that lately he helped his father-in-law to the tune of $1,000,000 Irving Berlin would...
...headquarters codification troubles do not vary in direct proportion with the number of units to be codified. Aluminum, which consists of Aluminum Co. of America, still has no code. Neither has the telephone industry. The communications industry-Western Union, Postal Telegraph and other International Telephone & Telegraph units, American Telephone's telegraph business and Radio Corp.-had no code until last fortnight when, after months of wrangling, General Johnson threw the foursome a ready-made one which needed only the President's signature.

...Barton White, an oldtime railroad telegrapher who rose to run Central R.R. of New Jersey, had hung out the first bit of dirty linen by sending telegrams to his big customers, inviting them to protest and declaring that for all intents & purposes the President's Code was Postal's code. Bitterly he lashed the proposed fair practice clauses which minutely regulate leased wires, exclusive contracts and special services. At last week's hearings he thundered: "We strenuously object to injecting in the long-established rate arrangement . . . provisions which we know will add unnecessary and increased burdens...
...into service. In the U. S. also there are three communication systems-two telegraph companies and, for all practical purposes, one telephone company. Last winter Western Union upped a retired British rear admiral named Charles Penrose Rushton Coode to vice president in charge of European operations. Last week not Postal Telegraph but a sister subsidiary in its International Telephone & Telegraph System made a retiring U. S. admiral its active head. Mackay Radio & Telegraph an nounced that on July 1 Rear Admiral Luke McNamee will become president, succeeding pink-cheeked Clarence Hungerford Mackay who will assume the chairmanship...
