THE AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE.
For . good many years the Chicago
public had ample opportunity to oh
serve what telephone monopoly meant
In the way Of service.
The rates had been raised several
times-and threats Of another raise
were being made. There was talk Of
abolishing certain forms Of residence
service. The public was treated with
scant courtesy. There were intermin
able delays In changing old phones
and installing new ones.
Then came the automatic telephone
bringing with 1t the much needed
spur Of competition.
| What happened?
| Immediately the utmost efforts Il
improve the manual service were
made.
But It 10 q cold. hard fact that these
efforts have been to q large degree
unsuccessful. It 10 simply . physical
impossibility to make manual service
come anywhere near the remarkable
shiciency Of the automatic.
