MESSENGER SERVICE BY TELE-
PHONE.
An overcharge That Now Is Forbidden
In Nebraska.

There is complaint from the public
from time to time that when calling
by toll line for person in an ex-
change not controlled by the same
company operating the toll line that a
messenger or switching fee is imposed
for calling the party wanted, although
he is subscriber of the local ex-
change. The Nebraska railroad COM
mission which has control over the
business of telephone companies in
that state has made the following rul-
ing OF this point
1T is hereby ordered that all tele-
phone companies doing business il
the state of Nebraska be, and the
same are hereby notified and directed
from and after the first day of August,
1908, to cease and desfst from charg-
ing and collecting for messenger SER
vice where no messenger service is act
ually performed. Where a toll line
company has contract with a local
exchange, whereby the local exchange
receives a percentage or part of the
toll rates on business terminating or
originating on its line, the connecting
of its subscribers with the toll line at
its switchboard win not be deemed
messenger service within the meaning
of this order, unless provided for by
its published rates, filed and approved
by this commission"
Where a subscriber to a local ex-
change pays the regular rate charged
in the exchange for local service it
would be an additional charge to exact
a fee for calling the subscriber when
wanted to talk on a toll line Some
managers advance the argument that
as the party making the call must pay
the so-called messenger or switching
fee it is all right to make the public
pay the bill. 1t is perfectly proper for
all service received, but, for example.
when a travelling man makes a toll
call for a customer whom he Knows
is telephone subscriber and is re-
CURED to pay a messenger fee to have
this subscriber called for the toll con
yersation, he knows he has been over
charged. He may not care particu-
larry for the few cents overcharge, but
he at once becomes travelling adve~-
tisement against the use of the ser
vice because of the unfair treatment
he has received. The public resents
being held up even in small way.
