AN OPEN LETTER,
Explanation Of Interest to Mutual
Telephone Subscribers.

AeAepnOme Subscribers.
To whom 1t may concern:
Inasmuch as the telephone usin,
? public has suffered great incohven
) ience and annoyance because OF til,
action taken BY some Of the MutuaI
companies in refusing to exchange
calls with the Acme Mutual Tele.
phone association, we make this state.
ment believing that the public Is not
informed on the matter, and that II
the situation was properly understood
1t would be quickly adjusted. We
have never refused any calls to or
from any mutual lines. Neither have
we made any charges for any service
that was free to the Acme Mutual
Telephone association subscribers.
Neither have we charged anyone more
for messages sent over independent
lines than our own subscribers had to
pay for the same kind Of service. Our
board is now and always has been
open to all mutual exchanges with
which we are connected. No matter
what differences there may have been
between us in regard to exchanges
with independent companies. differ
ences which have been settled salts
factorily to the Acme Mutual Tele-
phone association and to which 1t has
waived all rights in the matter In dis
pute in the future, which was the
right according to contract with the
Brown Telephone company Of Abilene
to an exchange with Abilene for the
nominal fee Of five cents per message
In the benefits Of which the Acme
Mutual Telephone association profited
TO the extent OF two and one half cents
per call. We think 1t altogether I'M
called for and unjust that because Of
his contract with an independent
the service Of the mutual
ines should be impaired against with
which there are at this time existing
We always have been and are now I
eady to submit any difficulty to a !
oard of arbitration whose finding we
re willing to accept as final. We
lake this statement SO that the

on is novice responsible for the an
oyance and inconvenience It has suf A
