SPEAKER WILL TELL OF PLAN TO
PUT OVER PHONE DEAL
The telephone situation in Chicago
will be discussed by a local speaker
following Congressman David J.
Lewis at Orchestra hall next Monday
night. A committee from women's
organizations, labor bodies and the
Penny Phone league will pick some
body to tell in a short and straight
way of the attempt of the Bell phone
trust to monopolize Chicago and the
chances for a cfty-owned automatic
system with penny-a-caH service.
Aid. Charles E. Merriam was asked
to speak. He replied that the city
council meets Monday night, but if
the council adjOUrns or he is able to
get away early enough he will pre-
sent the phone situation at Orchestra
hall.
cat the meeting Monday night adj
dressed by Congressman Lewis would
be a proper time to discuss the pos
sibilities of the city of Chicago sell
ing the automatic system to the .. S.
government" said Merriam.
eff the attempts to gain possession
of the automatic system should re-
suit in the city getting ownership of
it and at the same time the federal
government should postalize wire
communication, it would be practical
BILE for the city to sell to the federal
government"
A testimonial from Julius ROsen-
waId on how the automatic phone
system works at the Sears oebuck
& Co. plant is being distributed by the
Automatic Electric Co. at the Ma
tiOnal Independent Telephone assn
convention, Hotel La Sale.
A letter signed by Rosenwald says:
I'VE installed the Automatic tele-
phone system in 1905 and our calls
at present approximate $4,000 per
day. We have found the cost for OPP
Grafton nominal and the service very
satisfactory In fact we consider

PROBES HIGH COST OF BREAD

PROBES HIGH COST OF BREAD
Temporarily sidetracking his per-
sonal investigation into the rising
price of wheat Dist Atty Clyne yes
terday began to question bakers to
learn whether the recent increase
was through an understanding" or
through a genuine shortage of flour.
81 intend to find exactly how much
flour the millers have on hand and
how much the bakers here" said
Clyne. 81 want to find out if it is
true that bakers have run out of
flour and have been compelled to
purchase more at higher pricts.
Meanwhile the wheat investigation is
being carried on by assistants.
Supt. Whitman of the House of
Correction said that it costs the
Bridewen "a cents to bake a loaf of.
bread at the present cost of their
flour, which is $3.50 a barrel

they have IS lines and 20 extensions
at their Burnside shops and the serV-
ice is very satisfactory"
Morton L. Johnson of the Penny
Phone league says there are hun
dreds of testimonials of this sort
showing that the automatic service is
satisfactory" and it has been the
SANDER bureaus of the Bell phone in
teTests and the newspapers taking
Bell money for advertising that have
discredited the automatic in the
minds of people who have not actu-
ally investigated.
Where the automatic phone sub
scribers have not got satisfactory
service" said Johnson, cts been be-
cause they had no chance to get
service. The financial Wreckers and
dark lantern workers who have OPP
Grated the system never gave it a
fair tryout Even at that I believe
it is conceded phone service couldn't
be much worse than what the Bell,
the Chicago Telephone Co., is giving
subscribers these days"
The count of automatic phone
subscribers by the public service de-
partment has been completed. Work
now is on shaping all the figures into
a report.
