E. W. Hammer Says Company
Is Prepared to Install Third
System Here.
CHARGES BELL PEOPLE
NOW OWN INDEPENDENT
General Manager Lane Points
Out That Assumptions of
Hammer Are FallaciOus.

With the close approach of the ad-
vertised sale of the Utah Independent
Telephone company plant, which is TO
take place at auction June s. there
are numerous stories rife with refer
ence to the sale Dispatches from New
York have said that the Bell company
is to be the purchaser of the plant,
merging it with the Bell company.
l.. W. Hammer of Chicago, with Salt
Lake offices in the Newhouse building
says he thinks there is movement
monopoly Of the telephone business
in the intermountain country, espe
cially in the southern Idaho and Utah
district, with plans to reach out into
surrounding states If the merger of
the two plants IN Salt Lake takes place
Mr. Hammer was one of the origl-
nal promoters and builders of the Utah
Independent company's plant OF Salt
Lake, and was connected with the
company for about two years, Since
that time he has installed plants in
number of cities. He and his asso-
eiates are said to be preparing to ask
for several franchises in Utah and
Idaho, he says. In ease the franchises
are secured, plants will be established
using the automatic system. which he
represents.
When seen by a Tribune represen'
tative, MI Hammer said: "Every
stop toward dismantling the independ-
ent plants in this section of the inter
mountain country is being watched by
local syndicate Of independent telc.
phone promoters.
1.-THE proposed sale Of the Independ
ent is merely subterfuge to cover a
sale that, was made several years ago
when the stock passed into the hands
Of the Bell company through a man
named Berger. unknown to the tele.
phone world. al figure said to be
$780, 600 After this sale an attempt
was made to cover the transaction by
maintaining an organization supposed
~ independent, but, in fact, wholly
under the control and direction of the
Bell company,
1.-THE terms of the Independent fran
chise require that the management and
control of the company shall be with
residents of Utah, and that the cor
poration shall maintain telephone
system separate and distinct from,
and at all times in competition with all
other telephone companies in the state
of Utah. To keep up appearances, $lOu
in stock was issued to the local direc-
tors, and this stock was Immediately
indorsed in blank and turned over TO
the agents OF the Bell company The
Utah Independent has been masquer-
aiding as n competing company while
the Bell folks have been i'll absolute
