Boston, Feb 24.-To the national
government. workink through the De
partment of Commerce and Labor. be-
longs the credit for having finally de-
termined the official facts in the long
disputed question as to the relative
size Of all the Bell and independent
telephone interests OF the United
States.
The government figures for 1907
show 3l92,O6s Bell stations and q
9s6,5l5 independent stations or tele-
phones. The Independents have all
along claimed over 100000, or fully
SO per cent more than they actually
have.
The government figures do not make
any attempt to clessify the independ-
ents as between independent" and
opposition" companies. AS a matter
Of fact, the so-called independent"
fully 100000. of 80 per cent. Of the en-
tire number, form through sub-license
or service arrangements, part Of the
comprehensive Bell system, but in all
other respects are Independent, self
controlling organizations. At present
over 100000 Independents, or about
40 per cent Of the total. are thus affil
lated with Bell lines.

not make. it will be found that instead
Of the Bell companies having but 145,-
600 more stations than the independ-
ents, the real figures are something
like 100000 for the Bell, against e.
10000 for the independents, ratio
Of nearly to /.
The significant feature of the rapid
telephone development Of the United
States during the last five years has
been this quiet, steady affiliation with
the American Telephone system of
100000 independent stations. AS a re-
suit thousands of subscribers in the
West have today what they have never
before enioyed-the advantage Of CON
necton with the only national tele
phone service in the country.
