THE NATIONAL GRANGE
UpH0LDS INDEPENDENTS
important Resolution Bearing on Tele-
phone Monopoly Recently Adop-
ted at Hartford.

Following is resolution recently
passed by the National Grange at
Hartford, Conn:
The National Grange having, in the
past, opposed monopolies of any and
every kind and telephone monopoly
| in particular, your committee desires
! to call your attention and it is with
pleasure We note the immense in
crease in the number of telephones
i'll use among the farming communi-
ties and especially where competition
is most active.
We find the service is better. rates
lower and the number of telephones
greater under competition than under
monopoly and therefore recommend
the passage of the following resolu-
tions:
Whereas, The Telephone has be-
come public convenience and neces-
sity, which should be installed in the
home of every farmer, we wish to go
on record as favoring telephone com.
petition as the only means whereby
We can receive the best telephone
service at the lowest rates.
I'VE condemn any law that fosters
a monopoly in the telephone business
as against the best interest of the
members of the Grange and the PEG
pie generally, and call upon the mem
bers of the. different organized bodies
( members of the legislature in the diff
ferent states, members of the house
of representatives and senate in con
\ gress convened, and the president OF
\ the United States, to use their best
\ endeavors to allow free competition
! and permit the people of this nation
\ to buy telephone service when ant
where they please.
I'VE condemn any law or method
\ whereby the people must pay tribut,
\ to a monopoly for necessity of lif,
y and are opposed to the United State:
Y government making exclusive contract!
with any telephone company, and cal
upon each and every member of tn,
y Grange of the different states to us,
I their best efforts to see that laws ar,
y enacted and men elected to public OF
4 flee that will give us active competi
y ton in the telephone business.
