TELEPHONE USERS OF CHICAGO TO BAND
TOGETHER IN SELF PROTECTION

=
Telephone users of Chicago will
perfect an organization Thursday
afternoon at the LaSaIle Hotel. The
objects of the Telephone Users As
ISOLATION are given as follows
1. To give the telephone subscrib-
ers a voice in the negotiations with
reference to.the sale of the Automatic
telephone system to the Bell Com
pany, and to do all things possible
to safeguard the subscribers inter
ests.
2. To gather reliable information
and furnish unbiased opinion by bull
letins and through the press with ref
erence to all matters affecting the
interests of the telephone subscribers
of Chicago and suburbs.
8. To place the telephone sub
scribers in a position where they may
deal with the many and complex
problems that must come up from
time to time in the future and be
correctly settled before Chicago and
it's suburbs will have proper tele-
phone service.
4. To cooperate with all other
forces and agencies of our civic life,
including the telephone companies,
city bureaus and commissions in
solving the problems relating to tele-
phone service.
5. To furnish subscribers at rea-
sonable cost expert tariff service, to
recommend ways to reduce their
telephone costs and increase the eff
ciency of their service.
There are 100000 telephone users
in Chicago, all of whom will be at
the mercy of the Bell phone if it is
permitted to buy the Automatic and
junk that plant; and the subscribers
will then have to foot the entire bill
of buying and junking the Automatic.
So the Bell subscribers are as much
interested in the organization of
telephone users association as the
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-30

Headquarters of the association
have been established at Room S04,
National Life Insurance building,
with H. D. Stroud, who has resigned
as commercial superintendent Of the
Automatic in order to help telephone
users make the fight.
A telephone expert will be engaged
whose experience in both manual and
automatic telephony will enable the
association to deal with all telephone
problems in the interest of users.
One Of the first problems tackled
will be that Of preventing the destruc-
ton of competition and the establish
ment of a phone monopoly in Chi
cago.
Probably the attention Of the us.
attorney general at Washington will
be brought to the attempt Of both
companies to destroy competition by
combining.
Inquiry will be made into what
property the Bell company will get if
it pays $6,300,0O0 for the Automatic,
and then is permitted under the Chi
cago Telephone COmpany's ordi-
nance to charge Z per cent interest
on the increased capitalization and
to soak Bell users for the increase.
The main purpose is to band to-
gether the telephone users Of Chicago
for self protection.

IF we can safeguard the young to the ut
most, and not only keep alcohol away
from them but make them realize from early
and soul, then there may be some chance of
the next generation looking at the whole
subject in its true light, and our children's
children may realize that abstinence is not
fanaticism or ascetiCsm but rational self
control in respect to something which is
fraught with untold risks.

MANY VlSITlMG AUTOISTS
IN STATE At PRESENT |

That there are many visiting motor
lists in Colorado at present is evidenc-
ed by the large number of excursion
lists Of that kind that are daily com
ing here from Colorado Springs and
other points. Most OF them are driy-
ing machines that bear Kansas license
tags. although occasionally cars from
Missouri. Iowa. Illinois and states still
farther TO the eastward are seen.
Nearly all OF these motor tourists
make the run to the top OF the Royal
Gorge and over the skyline drive;
both OF which are famous among the
automobiiists of the country. Several
hundred cars from Missouri river
points and the Mississippi valley
states may be expected 10 make the
trip to Canon City the next two OF
three months.

@. C. Rickard. formerly rancher
on Lincoln park. but for the last ten
OF twelve years living at White

new strawberry plant that is very
popular among growers in his section
of the country. Referring TO 1t the
White Bluffs Spokesman says:
"Mr. Rickard discovered three years
ago a new variety OF strawberry
plant on his place. which is rapidly
superceding all other kinds among
growers here. The new berry is very
large. well favored and prolific as

OF the income and is decidedly su-
perior to any other berry known

THIS MAN MEANS
To GET BUSINESS

Out on the Gardner ranch across
from the Poor Farm on Four Nile
lives Mr.. A. NJ. Harrar and he is a
live wire from Kansas. The Gardner
ranch for a number OF years has
been cultivated by the prison gang
and the alfalfa grown has been used
at the penitentiary banrs. Thus none
OF 1t ever got on the local market.
The Gardner ranch has the
largest tract OF land in this part OF
the valley devoted exclusively to al
falfa. Mr.. Harrar took possession this
year and started In with a great deal
OF energy and ability to harvest the
alfalfa and sell it on the local market
Within the past week he has stack
ed the first crop and got it well TAX
en- care OF without being touched by
drop OF rain. This hay he intends
" bttis oat AAottad VI AS-
customers to come. as is the usual
custom in this vicinity. he has adopt
ed the only progressive plan and is
just like any business
man would.
He is backing his advertising by
good salesmanship and good service.
For instance. he guarantees his hay.
Every ton that he sells is accompani-
ed by an absolute guarantee. II 1t
isn't as represented. or II the buyer
Is dissatisfied. his money is returned
