There is also a guy in this particular picture operating, what appears to me a portable switch board for all the morse code stations. Looks like that the techs did a wonderful job hiding alllllllllll the wires under the temporary tables.

I hate wires !
We are drowning in wires !
Can't wait for the year 2525 - everything will be wireless. Wait a second, that's another 500 years - darn -:(

View of Western Union Press set-up to cover speech by President Franklin D. Roosevelt Oct 29, 1936, from the steps of the Capitol Building at Harrisburg, Pa. The photo was taken by Arthur Grumbine, whose Morse position is clearly visible in the lower-right-hand part of the picture. 6 of the special events sets can be seen in this photo.

Yep, some things are definitely bogus.  Like the plate that says "MU-4"
which is the code for a motor unit.  And the very high serial number
