PHONE Meeting
AT EXCHANGE

A meeting of the People S Telephone
company was held Friday at EX-
change far the purpose of reconsider
ing some of the business transacted at
the last meeting.
At the meeting on June 18th the
phone lines were taken from the con-
tracting company S hands by the share
holders 1t afterward developed that "a
number Of the Turbotville sharehold-
ers were dissatisfied with this action.
At Turbotville the Peoples wires are
strung on the U. Z. q Z. company S
poles and it was thought by the sub
scribers there that the Peoples com
pany should have a pole line of its
own.
At the petition of ten shareholders,
therefore, the president called Fri
days meeting. The question of put
ting the line back into the contractor
hands was thoroughly discussed, but
no action was taken, the disagreement
being amicably adjusted.
The trustees prese nted a set Of by
laws which had been drawn up. The
bylaws were read and laid over until
next meeting before adoption.
Each line, of which there are now
II completed. has its own sub-organiz-
alton, with officers-president, secre-
tary and supervisors. These have all
been elected since the meeting on
June 10Th.
The Peoples company is steadily
extending its lines and by fall vii
have II lines in operation with nearly
250 phones.
Seventeen phones will be installed
within the next few days. Two con
struction gangs are at work now and
will be employed all summer. The
work just now is being delayed some

No Talking While Working.

Talking during working hours and
partaking of lunch has been tabooed
by the Lehigh Valley officials in a
notice posted at the Wcathcrly shops
The notice says that no employees shall
converse with another during working
hours under penalty of discharge,
neither are they allowed to eat any
thing during working hours. The em-
pIoyes do not take kindly to the new
order, stating that they abused no
privileges in the past. This latest rule,
it is claimed, will simply make them
