The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-07-22

BELATED NEWS.-Readers of the
Herald are now getting valuable in
formation about that phone deal that
readers of The Day Book were told
about nearly two years ago; but read
ers Of the other big papers are still
in the dark.
Wednesdays Herald exposed more
of the inside of the deal. George Al
bert Johnson, Herald financial man,
told Herald readers that unless the
city consents to the sale of the Auto
matte to the Bell company the Chi
cago Utilities Co., successor to the
old Chicago Subway Co., VIII have
to undergo another reorganization
He says:
''In the plan to sell the telephone
to the Bell interests it is understood
that the Automatic Electric Co.,
manufacturers Of the automatic tele-
phone equipment, also viii be sold
to the Bell people. The manUfactur-
ing concern is an Independent or
ganization."
Nearly two years ago The Day
Book called attention to the fact that
if the Bell bought the automatic with
the sale would go the right to buy the
Automatic Electric Co. and the pat
ents it owns on automatic equipment.
This is important, because the au-
tomato phone is infinitely superior
to the manual phone used by the Bell
The Bell has now nearly 100000 sub
scTibers in Chicago and is interested
in keeping the old manual phones in
service because of the great expense
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-07-22

involved IN throwing them out and
substituting the automatic.
If the Bell can put the automatic
out of business and gain control Of
automatic patents it can compel the
people of Chicago to go on using the
old-fashioned, non-secret manual
phone, while the important cities Of
the world are throwing out the man
UaI and substituting the much more
modern automatic.
Oscar Hewitt, in the same issue Of
the Herald, publishes a clause from
the contract whereby the Bell agrees
to buy the Automatic and this clause
provides that the Bell shall buy only
if public opinion is favorable to the
sale.
For two years now the trust press
has been silent, giving both parties
full opportunity to say that there was
no public opinion hostile to the sale,
because there was no adverse Criti-
cism in the leading newspapers. All
of the newspaper publishers have
shut their eyes and ears and stopped
up their noses so that there might
be no danger Of any of them hearing,
seeing or smelling any public senti-
ment unfa7OrabIe to the deal
But The Day Book kept plugging
away, and finally the WOmen's or
CARNATIONS, labor organizations and
other bodies representing public sem
timent got in the game and began
registering that adverse public senti-
ment Now it is reflected IN council
by the aldermen who are not owned
by the Big Interests, and the Bel
company can no longer ignore that
sentiment. The Bell trust is also
slightly embarrassed by the fact that
it has outstanding a promise to the
federal government to the effect that
it will not push any farther its tao
tics of gobblmg up competitors.

Of the year, and was ranked by many
critics as one of the leading mentors
on the eastern gridirons this season.
When asked this morning regarding
the possibility Of his going to Harvard
next year to succeed Haughton, Lieut.

three players on the team who were
