The Telephone Trouble.
FAILURE TO COMPROMISE AT THE CONFERERCE
LAST EVENING.

FAILURE TO COMPROMISE AT THE CONFERENCE
LAST EVENING.
The trustees Of the telephone company and
the executive committee OF the subscribers as
ISOLATION met In conference over existing differ
ences last evening. The trustees presented a
new schedule OF rates based upon the amount
of service rendered. This schedule made q con.
siderable reduction OF the rates prescribed by
the circular OF January both. The members OF
the executive committee and the trustees
evinced good feeling; both sides seemed to de
sire compromise. The committee. however,
had no authority to change the action OF the
full association without It's sanction. That &C
ton was the adoption Of resolution some time
since THAT each and every member OF this
association discontinue the use OF the Bell
telephone on and after the first day OF Apr!
next, and until system or schedule of charges
Tor It's use be agreed upon between the COM
paDy and this association, on the recommended
ton OF Its executive committee" The eXecu-
tive committee will prepare a report for pre-
sentatlon TO general meeting OF the members
of the association.
THE PHONES GENERALLY CUT OFF TO-DAY.
The plugs were put In this morning, as far az
knoWD, by all the subscribers, and there are but
few telephones In operation to-day other than
those connected with the public offices.
1t Is believed, however, that satisfactory
arraL cement will be made soon between the
Telephone Company and the subscribers, by
which the telephone service will be In full ope-
ION again speedily.
