CHICAGO, March 23.-Al-
though the danger of a strike of
$1,000 railway firemen on west

eliminated, it is believed today
that it is improbable that the

Both the railway general mana

peace was brighter today than at

"The demand for this extensive IN.
yestigation into the manufacture OF
Daper pulp from American woods other
than the fast dwindling spruce was
brought about partly out OF the IN
creased consumption OF products by
the paper-using industries and partly

purposes, and though the traffic Is but
seventy-five per cent OF what II was
in the morning, 1t nevertheless keeps
the operator we'll on the Gui viTe.
The heaviest traffic-the peak OF
the load as 1t Is called in telephone
offices--occurs. in the neighborhood
OF homes, between the hours Of seven
and eight in the evening. But no tele-
phone problem Is needed to arrive at
this information. Everybody knows II

great deal OF telephoning to the thea

hours.

These periods vary according 10 the

SO to speak, they would be hxed.
For instance, take the Main ex,
change, which handles practically al
the calls of Detroit's business center
and some others besides.
From midnight up to the first hours
OF business there is here, as we might
expect very little telephone business
comparatively speaking. But between
and o'clock the calls mount suu,
denly into the three thousand ODD
and they jump, during the succeeding
hour. more than $50 per cent. the
number OF calls goes on increasing
throughout the morning in the main
exchange until between 10 and ii

going on. incidentally, 1t may be OIL

by the most exacting business imaEin-

the calls drop steadily per hour until
midnight again when, in the Main ex-
change, they average about one III
every IL seconds. This means that
any one of the so odd positions OF
the main board is called upon to at

an hour-which will never give tele'
