WA CHI | HA 'PHONE JOB
Keep your eye on council and the
Bell phone trust.
Another attempt is being made to
railroad a deal through council
whereby the city gives its permission
to the Bell to buy the Automatic.
Remember these facts:
Whatever the Bell Co. pays for the
Automatic will come out of the
pockets of phone users.
The purchase price will be added to
the Bell. Co.'s capitalization. This
will increase interest charges. That
means an increase of phone rates to
everybody who uses q phone.
The deal can't be made without
the city's permission. Yet the city
gets nothing at all for giving this
permission. The phone trust will
benefit by millions.
Chicago's chance to have a NUM-
cipal phone plant at small cost will
be gone.
The chance for a phone in every
home with penny service will be
gone thrown away by council.
B. F. Sunny, president of the Chi
cago Telephone Co., admits that his
estimate of the increased capitalize
ton is 100000. But the price
fixed for the Automatic is $6,3OO,OOO.
His estimate" may turn out to be
low.
Anyhow, no matter how much it is
the money will come out of the
pockets of phone users in increased
rates.
Aid. Merriam, who is making the
fight to protect the city's interest in
this phone deal, says the public will
have to pay at least $2SO,O0O a year
more in phone rates if the deal goes
through.
There is reason to believe that the
trust will junk the Automatic plant
and the people will pay for it.
The trust will shut out all COM
