SERVICE. IN CHICAGO
Editor Day Book: '.-'
A reader of The Day Book has ask
ed the writer to explain the statement
made in his article in The Day Book
of Sept 2, fourth paragraph, in which
l refer to the cost of automatic serv-
ice in Chicago. He asked how serv-
ice that I said was costing one and
one-fourth cents to produce could be
sold for one cent per call? i
This seems proper query, and
am obliged to the reader for calling
attention to it, for by so doing he has
called to my attention the thought
that intended to make clear in the
article when originally written.
+ The plant and organization of the
Illinois Telephone & Telegraph Co.
is in no wise normal one, and there
fore the product of the institution is
of necessity abnormally expensive.
Just as an instance, what do you
think of a company the size of this
Dne paying its president, who is not
a telephone man, $4,000 a year, as
was recently stated in the daily pa
pers; its vice president, who is not a
telephone man, $4,000 a year, and
its general manager, who is not a
telephone man, $4,000 a year, with |
other expenses in proportion?
Don't you think one and one-quar-
ter-cent service doing pretty good at |
this rate? Then compare it with
what the Bell people told the council
committee it cost them to give serv-
ice in Chicago (nearly three cents), |
and think you will agree with me
that the automatic system has made
a pretty good showing right here in |
little old Chicago.
1 was service manager until l had |
worked myself out of job by getting |
the automatic service up to the high
est point of efficiency ever reached

Complaints against the working
conditions on the Chicago & West

employees were heard by the arbitra-
ton committee now in session in the
federal building.
The officials of the road admitted
that the men were sometimes COM
PEELED to be on duty twelve and thir-

sible for the men to make just as
much money on that road as any
other.
