Announcement has been made
from Dallas headquarters that eff
fective January l the Southwestern
Telephone company viii make re-
duction in rates from $3.50 p. m. to
G a. m, which will be known as the
social rate" the reduction in the
rate amounting to 40 per cent of the
present rate schedule on calls
amounting to 800 and proportion
ately less on calls amounting to
from 25 cents to s1.00. The mini
mum charge for the social calls"
will be 25 cents.
In discussing the new night rate
Vice President J. r. Farnsworth
said:
Rate changes made by the South
western Telegraph and Telephone
company are not intended to influ-
ence the revenue, but rather to equal
ize charges and establish a sched-
ule scientifically correct and accu-
rately gagged as between al classes
of long distance telephone users. At
the same time we desired to in
crease the efficiency of the service.
Under the new special social
rate arrangement we viii not only
have reduced the cost of calls be-
tween nearby points and increased
the efficiency of the service for
highly important calls of strictly
business character, but made it so
that essentially social calls may be
handled in way which we hope will
not detract from other service and
still at much reduced cost.
"The application of this special
social rate comes in response to the
recommendation of myself and Gen.
eral Manager Gates. 1t is announced
in the face of unusual conditions
which have materially affected the
cost of material and labor. Frankly,

matter of rate revision we hope
