NEW STUNTS REQUIRED OF
TELEPHONE SUBSCRIBERS NOW

Sometime ago the Chicago Telephone
company adopted a new numbering
system in the hope of giving the sub
scribers quicker and nvre accurate
service. Experience thus far has shown
the number letter system to be practi-
cal and eventually Will be used where
ever the Chicago Telephone company
operates. The letters following a num-
Der aid the operator in making the
proper connection in a party line. but
there must be cooperation from the
subscribers to make the system work
as perfectly as 1T is intended
To promote efficiency, the Chicago
Telephone company makes the follow
ing suggestions to the subscribers
Eliminate the word double" when
calling a number
Use the word hundred" instead of
double o" or 20 o.
Use the word thousand instead of
20 double o" or 20 o..
Divide the number so that the hum
dreds will be given first. then the tens
and units as formerly.
Enunciate the sufiix clearly.
Give a rising infection on the last
unit as we'll as the Letter suffix, If 1t APP
pears on the number.
To telephone operating companies
the use of the word double" in calling
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1911-09-23

a number has been a stumbling block
TO accuracy. often slurred by the pub
lie, IT has led to wrong connections. BY
pronouneing each number separately
this trouble may be eliminated. 1t has
also often been confused with the letter
w" which is now used as a suffix In
nearly all exchanges.
The use of the words hundreds" and
thousand" are merely to prevent the
use of double o. while at the same
time establishing a common plan for
enuciation
Following Is a list of representative
numbers as pronounced under the new
system:
as One with rising infection.
% as Two two with rising infection.
112 as One-one two?
122 as One-two two?
Ill as One-one one?

tion If any. may be necessary 10 make
them stand right in the eyes of the
government, were the subject of much
discussion here today.
The Associated Press is in position
TO state the following as the attitude
of the department of Justice:
The position of the attorney general
as frequently stated by him, is that,
since the decisions of the supreme
court in the oil and tobacco cases, to
quote the language employed by him
in his speech at Battle Creek, Mich,
the area of uncertainty in the law has
been greatly reduced, and the meaning
of the statute in its application to
great monopolistic corporations made
clear and this makes 1t necessary for
those combinations to resolve them
selves into a number of distinct. sepa-
In itself a combination In restraint of
trade or threaten monopoly.
Dissolution a Problem.
How this shall be done is, of course,
a separate problem in each case a
problem which in the first instance
those in control of the combinations and
their counsel must work out. The law
department of the government cannot
undertake to act as universal counsel
for the trusts. 1t is preparing to bring
before the court all the combinations
which appear to be in clear violation of
the law.
IF the courts agree with the gov
ernment's views they will doubtless fol-
low the presidents set by the supreme
court in the tobacco case and by the
United States circuit court in the third
circuit in the powder ase and decree
the combination to be illegal, and give
TO it a reasonable time TO reorganize in
conformity with the law. under penalty
of Injunction or receivership if 1t should
fail to do so.
VIII Recognize Action.
IF combinations should take action
and submit to the department. of JUS
tice plans of reorganization which
should in good faith bring about a
competitive condition and terminate
monopolistic conditions and also all
agreements unduly restraining inter-
state trade and commerce. the depart
mint of justice would doubtless give
them careful consideration, and. If
found to be adequate would submit
them to the courts on an appropriate
petition, the decree of the court to be
so framed as to make the provisions of
the plan binding upon the defendants
and to enjoin them from further mo-
nopolistic effort.
But the burden of framing such
plans and OF demonstrating their suf-
ficiency and adequacy must be assumed
