FCC FINDS TELEGRAPH ’’X*' AND "RX" MESSAGES DISCRIMINATORY
The Federal Communications Commission on December 8th adopted a Proposed Report which referred to **X” and ’’FIX” tele¬ graph messages. In Its Proposed Report the Commission finds and concludes :
(1) The practices and regulations of the telegraph carriers according priority to messages marked ’’X” and *’RX" have not been Justified, are unjust and unreasonable and unjustly and unreasonably discriminatory, give undue and unreasonable preferences and advantages, and subject persons to undue and unreasonable prejudices and disad¬ vantages;
(2) The telegraph carriers should cease anddeslst from such practices and should cancel and delete such regulations from their tariffs.
Messages classified ”X*’ and ’’RX” are at present given special handling and priority at no extra charges over other mes¬ sages. "X” messages take priority over ’’RX” messages and relate to "Exchange messages”, including Instructions to buy or sell bonds, grain and cotton, the price of which is governed by fluctuating market conditions. ”RX” messages are described by the telegraph companies as those messages which indicate in their contents that their purpose will be served only by transmitting them ahead of less urgent messages. Messages in this category are those request¬ ing funds, money order messages, messages pertaining to shipment of perishable products such as fruits, fish, livestock and poultry; messages filed by financial institutions pertaining to transfer of money; the quotation of prices of investment offerings; messages addressed to passengers on trains and aircraft; messages to and from airports pertaining to departure or arrival, movement of, and forced landings of aircraft.
"The application”, it is said in the Report, ”of the ”X" and ”RX” symbols to different types of messages without an extra charge therefor creates discrimination, preferences, and advantages in favor of the customer whose messages are accorded priority in handling and discriminations, prejudices, and disadvantages against the customer whose messages are raid for at the same rates but are not given priority. ”
