The Chamber persuaded Western Union to allow the government to monitor its private communication messages. Western Union being the largest telegram company at the time, a technology similar to today's texting and emails.<br /><br />Deciphering of The Zimmerman Telegram ( http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/cryptologic_quarterly/the_zimmermann_telegram.pdf ) was considered a major triumph of World War I.<br /><br />The Black Chamber was dissolved in 1929 - forgotten but never really gone.
