proposing that a large portion of the

The Bell Telephone Trust II goins
to strengthen its strangle hold upon
the throat Of Chicago by wiping out
competition.
A merger Of the two companies into
one operating system Is contemplated,
and II realized will mean the end Of
two separate lines within the city.
The combine, 1t IL declared, will mean
the abolition Of the automatic system
and the taking over of IT. subscribers
by the Bell company.
This was anneanced following an
attempt to effect the revision Of the
telephone ordnance, which at present
prohibits the amalgamation Of the II.
linois company with any other locally
;oerated concern.
It has the aid Of several aldermen
In this new move.
Should the Trust be successful Chi.
cago will be at its mercy forever.
Owing to the belief that the instru.
ments and plant operated by the au.

by the purchasing company, rumor
has It that the purchase Of the or.

Because Of claus in the ordinance
passed in 1899, prohibiting the sale Of
the company to any telephone cor.
poration operating In the city, It 10
impossible without legislation to Of.
feet the sale.
The step to overcome this obstacle
was taken when an amendment to the
present ordinance was presented to
the gas, oil and electric light commit.
tee Of the city council. The ordinance
provides that II the company makes
any agreement (which would tend to
make competition imperative" the
franchise would be forfeited. This
clause is eliminated In the proposed
amendment. Alderman Charles e.
Merriam urged the committee to pro.
coed with caution in taking action.

The speech made a hit with the au.
dience and the newspapers said that
1t was one OF the best that had been
delivered during the campaign. En-.
couraged, Baltz started out on whirl.
wind campaign that lasted eight weeks
and sent him to congress. He didn't
drive the mule. for his daughter, Miss
Katie, acted as chauffeur of his auto
mobile. But he would not have been
ashamed to drive the mule.
