that the Chicago Telephone Co.
would expect to collect telephone
rate that would pay reasonable diVi-
dends on its capitalization.
The Day Book has repeatedly, dur
ing the past two years, called atten-
ton to the fact that the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co., which
owns 81 per cent of the stock of the
Chicago Telephone Co., is the COM
pany that is trying to buy out that
Automatic; that when the Bell COM
pany buys it for $6,3OO,OOO there is
nothing to prevent the Bell company
from selling it to the Chicago Tele-
phone Co. (which the Bell company
owns and cOntrols) for $1O,OOO,OOO,
$2O,O0O,O0O or $4,000, OOOand adding
that price to its capitalization and
then charging a rate to Bell sub
scTibers that will enable the Bell to
collect interest on that price, what
ever it happens to be.
The Day Book has also called at
tentiOn to the fact that the Automatic
controls certain patents, or the right
to buy certain patents, which would
pass to the ownership of the Bell
phone trust if it is permitted to take
over the Automatic; also that it is
the purpose of the trust to junk the
Automatic, destroy all possible COM

haven't been mealy-mOuthed
about panning the loop press when 1
thought it was coming to any of
them, so will try to be fair when one
of them attempts to be on the square
with it's readers. The Herald,
through Oscar Hewitt, is now telling
it's readers some important truths
about that phone deal that for about
two years have reached the public
only through The Day Book.
Month after month the loop press
went along taking the phone COM
pany ads and money and forgetting
to tell it's readers what it was all
about. Finally, however, the labor
unions, the wOmen's organizations
and others who have been fighting for
the public interest forced publicity on
the matter And now Oscar Hewitt
is telling Herald readers something
all of the papers should have told
their readers long ago.
By the way, l believe that if Jim
Kelley would give Oscar Hewitt his
head and let him sail in on matters Of
vital public interest the public would
buy the Herald to read what Hewitt
has to tell them. Say, Jim, let Oscar
go to it.
In Tuesdays Herald Hewitt quoted
Pres. Sunny of the Chicago Tele-
phone Co. as saying that he DOES
NOT KNOW WHETHER THE PRO
PERTY OF THE AUTOMATIC, FOR
WHICH THE BELL INTERESTS

agents for the Hill liner They call
for the steamer to leave San Francisco
March 6 and March "a, arriving here
March IS and March 81. The last
sailing date from San Francisco pre-

This leaves an interval Of only Is
days between the two sailings, as
against the present average of 20
days. The local agents say they do
not believe this means the Great
Northern will reduce her running
time, but that she will cut down the
number of lay days in port, probably
at San Francisco, where she now lies
practically flve days.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon, coast
time, the Great Northern was due to
sail from San Francisco on her second
voyage to Hilo and Honolulu on the
triangular run. No word as to how
many passengers she will take from
San Francisco has yet been received
by the local agents.
Dates OF departure from Honolulu
for the two additional sailings an.
