 one can ride from the Bronx to the Battery for five cents, on the trolley or in the subway, or by ferry boat, but if you wanted to talk that distance on the telephone it cost ten cents, be- cause the Bell Telephone company had so Willed it. Turning to the represen- tatives of the Southern New England company who were present he said:
 What are you gentlemen here for, any way? What is your interest here? Is this law yours? Is the state yours?" Then turning to the committee he said: T regret more than l can express, gen. tlemen, that I will be unableto be here next week when these amiable gentle men who represent the Bell company, with placid faces and uplifted eyes will tell you gentlemen of the committee that the telephone business Is a natur- al monopoly. They will even tell you, not in words, perhaps, but by infer ence that they have some inscrutible arrangement with the Deity to that eff feet"
 Mir. Littleton then went on to explain
 that the telephone business is not a natural monopoly, but might be event. ually if the independent telephone companies failed and other conditions arose. In New York city after agita- tion of the subject the rates were cut but the bills raised. The situation then became a matter of academic so- lution. He said that the gas company when it furnishes gas claims that me- ters count; the electric light company claims to measure what fluid is used; the railroad company gives you fare and a transfer, but the telephone conn., pany has a girl who gives you whom you don't want, and after you tell her that mistake has been made she presses a button on atdial and registers @ charge, and you have to pay that charge You can sweat and fume and worry yourself unto death, but by no means possible can you find how the telephone company keeps It's books-in
 New York city at east. The telephone companies, or rather the Bell compa- ny, not only can but does make Fates and set standards. MT Littleton claimed that in his office in the matter of getting service ne hired a switch
 board at $S6 a year and such a board
 can be purchased for $S6
 In conclusion, MT. Lttleton said:
 Perhaps you gentlemen of the com mittee will suggest that it will be a good plan to regulate the present com
 pany I say to you the only way to | regulate it is to drive it out into the field and make it fight competition with
 all the red blood in its veins. That Is | the American way"
 He deplored the fact, as he asserted,
