How Many Jokers in the Merger

How Many Jokers in the Merger?
To me Editor Of The Times
l should like TO correct two mis-
takes in the article YOU published Fri
day. relating TO my protest in con
nection with the telephone mergel
Your article conveys the impression
that | registered a vigorous protest
against the absorption OF the Home
Telephone Co. BY the Michigan state
Telephone Co. As matter OF fact,
no protest was made against the pur
chase. as the Board OF Commerce COM
mittee appointed 10 look into this
matter Is unanimously of the opinion
that one telephone company is
enough.
Your article further states that
claim the Michigan company is I'M
posing upon the public because II
viii not connect its lines with the
eleven privately installed telephone
systems owned by the Home company
subscribers This information nrob-
ably came from the Bell Telephone
company as IL is wholly misleading
The protest was made not only IN
behalf OF the eleven subscribers who
own switch boards, but in behalf or
about SIX hundred anu fifty snbscrih-
ers who operate. but DO not own, pri-
vate branch exchanges. We do nos
own any telephone equipment. but
We lease switchboards and telephones
from both the Home and Bell com
pauies, and il would mean hand
some saving in the cost OF our tele-
phone service II the Michigan State
Telephone company would permit us
te purchase a switch board and other
equipment from them or someone else.
and then permit us 10 put such equip
ment 70 the best use Our telephones
are used largely for inter-communica-
ton. and II Is my contention tnat
there is no reason WHY we should pay
a fancy price 10 the Bell interests in
order that a man in our sales room
may talk with another man In the
shipping room, The importance OF
this question is appreciated by the
Bell interests even though IL is not
By the subscribers The question has
come up before some OF the lower
courts and the Bell interests have
won. Undoubtedly any fight that
might De started in this state would
be carried 10 the supreme court.
Mr.. Kingsbury was only Joking with
YOU when he led YOU to think that the
question involved only the eleven
privately-owned switch boards to-
which he referred; undoubtedly, there
are other little jokers OF which the
public will hear when the sale Is COM
pleted. Yours very truly.
