THEY LIKE RULING.
Telephone Men Glad to Get Rid of
Free Toll Service.

The decision of the public utilities
commission concerning free toll service
among the Independent lines has met
with the approval of the telephone man
ayers of the state. AS a result a resolr-
ton expressing the sentiment of the
telephone men which favors charging
toll on these lines was adopted late
Tuesday afternoon just previous to the
adjournment at the TnroOD hotel.
The telephone men themselves believe
that this free service has caused them
more grief and trouble than anything
else that has been practiced and are
willing to quit it at once, thus not per
hitting the subscribers of one line to
communicate with subscribers on other
lines without being charged a toll rate
of some character.
