Out Of this balance must be paid taxes,
interest on capital leaving no margin for
profit. The Central Union Telephone
Company maintains an engineering de-
partment which has charge Of all cleo
trical difficulties and the repair Of de-
.fective apparatus. The opposition man
ayers must necessarily be their own cleo
trical experts and to some extent attend
to the repairs. Managers having this
skill and experience usually command
a salary
OF $50 TO $75 PER MONTH.
At the rates advertised by the local
opposition, 81 and 81 per month, 1t will
require about seventy-ave paying sub.
scribers to secure same receipts as esti-
mated above.
1t is easy enough to talk about tele'
phone property being gilt edged, but
when the expenses are paid the gilt L
mostly talk. The Wellington exchange In
all heyearsofits history has not any more

from the fact that it is feeder to an ex'
tensive toll line system. How then can

full Enterprise 9-The Legal Phase-lm-
provements Contemplated.
We are aware the public generally 10
gard the Central Union Telephone Com
pany as a grinding monopoly. This
opinion is due to lack Of familiarity
with the management and cost Of
telephone service. Promoters OF op-
position exchanges have not been slow
to take advantage Of this lack Of inform
alton to induce the public to buy their
instruments. A bargain is half made II
you can convince your customer that he
is BEING ROBBED
and that you are in position to enable
him to protect himself.
The fact Is, however. that the profits
in the telephone business are largely in
the minds of these schemers. The diyi-
dends Of the Central Union for the past
year, according to a statement published
in the Electrical Engineering, were 3
per cent instead Of 10, Is or 20 per cent
as is variously represented. In order to
a comparison the following estimate
Of receipts and expenses Is made for an
exchange numbering 55 to 60 subscrib.
ers on the basis Of present Central Union
rates. 1t is assumed that the receipts Of
such an exchange will fully equal
those Of an opposition exchange, for II
rates were reduced large increase Of
patrons would be necessary to maintain
receipts at present amount:

THE CENTRAL UNION TELEPHONE COM

is prepared to furnish telephone service
at as low rates as are compatible with
business success. The charges for q
four-party iron metallic line with Sc
lective signal are $1.5O for residences
and 81 for business connections; indie
pendent line connections are 81 and $S
per month respectively. This party line
system enables the exchange to signal
any ore station on the line without dis
turbing the others. Every time your

The promoter, whose statements will
undoubtedly be given more credence
than those Of any representative Of the
Central Union Company,
Is AN INTERESTED PARTY.
He has his personal interests to serve.
He Is selling electrical goods. Your de.
sire tobuy telephone service cheap and
your prejudice against the company is Of
immense value to him in marketing his
wares From his standpoint there can
not exist any facts that show the imprac-
ticaBility Of the low rates. Why should
theyexistP After he has established the
exchange with local capital, received his
pay, bis responsibility ceases; he is ahead
the profits on his venture and is ready to
repeat the process elsewhere. 1t is no
concern Of his If the cost Of operating is
more than was stated In advance; he does
not own the plant. The cheaper the rate
the easier 1t Is to accomplish his purpose.
We ARE confident that this condition
could not exist II those who are disposed
to encourage and assist these enterprises
WERE THOROUGHLY coNvERsANT
with the telephone business. 1t is a
fact that it Is easier to manage men
when their prejudices are in harmeny
with your plans. 1t is also fact that
our prejudices are more unreasonable
and we are less open to conviction in
matters about which we know the least
and have had the least experience. I'm
der these circumstances we comprehend

Business men and city officials Of these
cities and towns will undoubtedly fur
nish all the information desired.
The above Is by no means complete
list, but is Of some value in proving the
assertion that furnishing telephone SER
vice at so-called low rates
rs ATTENDED WITH SOME RISK.
The investors in these enterprises have
invariably overlooked two important
facts: The deterioration of the plant and
cost Of repairs. Instead Of setting aside
money for these purposes deterioration
alone amounting to from 10 to 20pel
cent per annum) whatever surplus re-
mains is paid out as dividends. 1t will
be readily cOmprehended that the cost fol
repairs, etc., during the first years Of the
life Of an exchange will be at mini.
mum and fine showing for the property
may be made. There comes time when
these items form no uncomfortable
sum and then the trouble begins.
It is expected that these statements
will be discredited coming from the
source they do, to the extent Of your pre-
judices, but we do not hesitate to affirm
that the
WRECKS OF OPPOSITION EXCHANGES
and disappointed expectations are more
in evidence than large dividends or rea-
sonable success.
THE LEGAL PHASE.
The East Pittsburg Telephone Com.
pany issued the following circular re-
Gently: "0wing to the decision just
rendered by the Supreme Court Of the
United States we feel that it will be
impossible for us to furnish the
character Of service agreed upon without
Infringing on the patent referred to,
which according to the information from
our attorneys willprOhibit us from using
q battery transmitter."
The July 10Th issue Of the Electrical
Engineering states that Judge Brewer
granted q preliminary Injunction in a
suit In equity brought by the Bell Co.,
against the Southern Telephone Co. on
| the strength Of the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court. This with the assur-
ance Of the Bell Company that 1t will
protect its licensed companies adds an
other phase to the situation. They pur'
pose eniOining those violating the privi
legeS Of their patent. They may not bt
successful, but at present the advantage
seems forest with them.
The public press, Bradstreet and thu
public generally, with the exception o.
those interested in the opposition tele
phone movement, freely concede that th'
Supreme Court decision and the paten
laws sustain the contention Of the Bel
Co. But it Is not the legal side Of th'
situation we care to especially emphasize

Battg.Fldg

John L. Sullivan to umpire the Scran-
ton Rochester game in this city Satur-
day. The deal is provisional upon the
Rochester clubs acceptance of the
usual $100 guarantee and waving of
the 40 per cent. privilege.
AS far as Sullivan is concerned. the
agreement with him is closed provided
the Rochester owners agree to name
the percentage. They will probably do
this in view of the fact that when Cor
bett played recently in Rochester
against Syracuse, the latter received
only the guarantee. Manager Griffin
was trying by wire to arrange the
matter of receipts with Manager Weld
man, of the Rochester club, last night
and Weidman finally requested that it
be settled with President Englert.
Manager Griffin wrote the latter and
will probably receive a reply by tele-
graph during today.
Sullivan is not by any means an eX-
pert umpire but he possesses more than
a fair knowledge of the game. In
view of the reports of the once great
fighters reform he ought to attract
several thousand OF his former admir-
erS to Athletic park
