MATTICE Tells Of His Telegraphy The News-Sentinel, March 7, 1951 In the March edition of Railroad, a national magazine devoted to the interest of the railroad, appears an interesting article by Floyd J.

Mr. Mattice was stationed in Japan immediately following the end of World War 11, where he was a member of the International Tribunal for the Far East, at Tokyo, which tried the Japanese war criminals. The former local man was a railroader in his earlier days and also was telegraph dispatcher for several years. In relating his experiences the article states: “ I learned telegraphy while clerk on the Lake Erie and Western R.R. These were my first real jobs. In those days telephones were few, he recalls. Crews were called by a boy on a bicycle. I worked at Lima, Ohio. One night the first station to the northeast asked for help (5) to put out a big fire. A special train was ordered to the town with the Lima fire fighting equipment. The boss gave me this message to deliver verbally to each crew member I routed from a warm bed about 3 o’clock in the cold morning: “ ‘Jump in your clothes as quick as you can. There’s a fire at Beaver Dam.’ “ I learned telegraphy while I was playing with a line strung between the homes of several boys with no intention of ever working at it . One evening the LE&W chief dispatcher who lived next door to me beckoned me over to the fence and said he wanted me to go to Bluffton on No. 2 to relieve a sick operator. “ ‘Why, I couldn’t do that,’ I protested. ‘I’ve never worked a telegraph job in my life.’ “ But he persuaded me and I went . I got along fine until 1 a.m. when the dispatcher called me saying, ‘31 copy 3.’ It was a meet order for an eastbound and a westbound passenger train No. 3, on which my father was conductor, and my brother was brakeman. “ That gave the usual buck fever. I could read the DS all right but couldn’t write it down.
