PENNY PHONE LEAGUE MEETS
TONIGHT-WILD STATEMENT

I-VNILG y - EWGNi
The Penny Phone League meets
tonight at 234 North Clark street,
second floor hall
Officers of the league urge all who
were interested in the former Tele-
phone Users League. to attend this
meeting. Several labor unions will
have members on hand.
A letter to aldermanic candidates
will be read for discussion and en-
dorsement before being sent out.
The league secretary, Horace B.
Wild, gave ont an interview today in
which he says that the Bell Company
in the near future will be compelled
to raise its, rates or go to smash
through failure to pay dividends on
its capitalization.
The attempted grab of the Auto
matte company is claimed to be a
first step in the game of the Bell
crowd for local control. Only steady,
determined action through some Or
ganization like the Penny Phone
League will give Chicago relief from
the "high rates and low service" the
Bell is selling today This is the atti-
tude of Penny Phone League officers
Here is Wild's statement on one
phase of the phone game:
BY Horace 3. Wild.
Exactly the same hornswoggling
game that the railroads and the ex-
press companies have used to swindle
the people of the United States is on
the way in Chicago with the Bell
Telephone Company.
The program is: Get. franchise,
clean up big money, then water the
stock, and keep on paying dividends
and watering stock to sell.
The break in this program comes
when the equipment begins to go to
pieces.
More cash is wanted then for re-
pairs, new installations.

AMERICAN CONSUL
MAIES THINGS EASY
IN BELGIAN CAPITAL
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Dec. 31.-An attache of the
Belgian foreign Office, who escaped
from the capital recently, says life
there is not as disagreeable as in
other Belgian cities, largely on &C
count of the influential presence of the
American minister. "The price of
food has not greatly increased, and the
people who have money to buy it are
not suffering" he said. But the
bread which is strictly rationed 600
grams day for each inhabitant) is
black, stodgy and indigestible. People
with weak stomachs, like myself can.
not eat it. This bread question is Sc
rious. The lower classes are accus-
toned to eating large quantities of
bread; soaked in milk or broth it
forms the main article of the child
ren's diet. The regulation black bread
is so doughty that it cannot be soaked,
and know that a great many very
young children are dying every day
from intestinal diseases brought on by
improper feeding.
THE lack of fuel is another hard
ship. Nearly all the coal that comes
by canal from Charleroi is taken by
the Germans, who manufacture ben
zine for their automobiles from it in
large retorts that they have set up in
the suburbs of Brussels, and it is very
difficult for the people to get even the
small quantity they require for cook
ing purposes.
Every week 100000 francs $780,
OOO) war indemnity has to be paid
over to the German treasury officials.
This is a grievous burden to all class
es and increases the already heavy
taxes from $50 to 200 per cent.
"No consideration will induce the
authorities to issue passports, and
tho inba hitantc ara RI all intanfS and
purposes prisoners in the gloomy city.
l slipped out of the city at dusk, and
after wandering for four days in the
woods, got in the house of nephew
close to the Dutch frontier There I
waited until l got a chance to cross
the frontier unperceived."

PE7R0CRAD MUST
PROVIDE A SUPPLY
Of PURE WATER

PETROGRAD, Dec. 31.-The city's
recent experience in doing without wa
ter, as result OF the blocking of the
Neva conduits by ice, has renewed
agitation for the aqueduct system of
pure water from Ladoga Lake. The
Prince of Olnedburg has been appoint
ed chairman of O commission to ex-
anime into the whole question.
The present system is the cleansing
of the river water by means of an
ozonizing process, which was recon-
mended and installed by German ex-
perts, and has several times been con-
demned as inadequate and unsafe by
British engineers. The latter hold
the water responsible for a long Sc
ries of epidemics.
The effect of the total failure of
the water supply of city of over
a million people, can hardly be de-
scribed. For several days, during the
blocking of the conduits, inhabitants
of all classes and conditions, with ev-
cry species of vase, jug and pail, were
seen trooping down to the rivers and
canals to get enough water for the
preparation of their meals.
