tory arrangement with the Home Tel
ephone company, whereby the Bell
gets all long distance business and the
Home company the local.
AS to vacating this city the Bell peo-
pie emphatically enter denials. They
state that when the big corporation
once enters a field it never leaves it.
AS to effecting some arrangement with
the Home company, the Bell people
hint that there is something doing in
that line. On the other hand the
Home company officials state that the
Bell people have opened no negotia-
tions with them.
1t has been generally reported that
the Central Union is trying to enter
into an arrangement whereby it would
handle all long distance business out of
this city and in return withdraw from
the local and county field in favor Of
the Home company. If such an ar

long distance lines would be placed in
the Home company's conduits. Color
