THE INDUSTRIAL ENQUIRY.
Telephone Service Rates Discussed
nefore the Commission

I. y. Bethel General Manager of the
! New York Telephone Company. was a
witness before the Industrial Commis-
sion this morning He testified con-
cerning the general telephone business.
/ The witness said the New York telephone
system was the largest in the world It
had the greatest per capita development
of all the cities having 100000 wires,
Mr. Bethel said
The company had under its control g.
6G0 stations in the boroushs Of Manbat-
tar and Bronx The company, the wit
ness said was always ready to adopt i'm
provements, regardless OF cost
\ European telephone expert. he said
had recently declared that New York had
the largest and best telephone system ir
the world.
The lowest rate to telephone subscribers
in New York was now 81 per year This
rate. however. had not prevailed for a
great while, Mr. Bethel said In the
business section of the city, he said, the
company had worked out a message
rate plan which had given satisfaction
to the subscribers. The new scheme. he
declared, reIived the busy lines from
congestion of business
The witness stated that the New i ork
company furnished a service at 81 per
year. or at the rate 3 cents per message
In foreign countries, he said, the tele-
phone companies charged the fat rate
system-that Is, 50 much per year re-
gardIess Of the number of messa ges sent.
In this country, however, he said, the
message rate prevailed generally He re-
! garded the message rate fairest to all
concerned IN the opinion Of the witness
T the interest of the telephone subscriber
witness said It was a mistake to think
that the telephone paid such large divi-
dends. Since 1896 the New York conpa-
ny paid only per cent per annUm- The
! New York company, he said, employed
! s6,JI5 persons, who received in wages over
100000 per week. exclusive of retainers Of
the officers The company paid liberal
wages, AIr- Bethel declared, as it desired
the best class of operators. the employees.
he said, were Of a high character The
company made it pleasant for its en-
pIOyes and did everything it could for
their comfort Referring to wages the
witness said the operators in the United
States were better paid than the opera
! tors in Europe. IN this country. he said,
/ operators received from IS to 512 per week,
/ while in Europe they received from 3 TO
/ Sc. In Europe, Iiuemen received S. per
/ week, while in New York they were PAID
| from So to 81 per week The same "a
; ito would apply to other branches Of the
