| WASHINGTON. Jan. Whe'he,

will face a national railroad strike
crisis depends on the Supreme Courts
decision as to the laws constitutional

Upper Berths

The upper berth is not. primarily. a
place of rest. It's gamble. Like
poker. and marriage. and storage eggs.
The main idea Of the upper is first,
TO see il you can get in it and second.
TO stay there till morning without
breaking your neck.
The chances are 81 APIECE and
100 to that you lose. II you win
you pay the porter a quarter. II you
lose. you pay your own funeral ex.
penses.
Life in an upper is just as calm as
life in a bathtub on a fiagpole in a
cyclone.
II you insist on trying to sleep in
one, put your clothes to bed and hang
yourself on a hook.
The only right way though is to
approach it as a purely sporting pro-
position. Take a lot Of life insurance
and a long breath and make a night of
it.

as vital essential to the preservation
or that integrity, the management rec

der any sort of conditions, and in pur-
sung this policy it is frequently under
the necessity Of sacrificing profits by
adopting exceptional and costly pro-
tect've measures without the usual
business accompaniment of compensa-
tory return from customers. Without
doubt the business activity in the four
largest cities of Connecticut in 1916
was fully equal to that in any local
ity in the country, and if it is true
that the sudden and extraordinary de-
mands upon our facilities made it i'm
possible for our service to remain at as
high a standard as that which we had
been accustomed to maintain, it is also
true that the prevention of further
service impairment was accomplished
only by the readiness of the company
to adopt every practical and avail
able means to that end.
OF the items that went to make up
ating the business during 1916, the
largest was naturally that of wages
Always recognizing that the proper
and efficient conduct of the business
requires a force of contented, we'll
paid employees, we were quick to
realize that the increased cost Of liv-
ing under the conditions of the past
year required special consideration Of
wage schedules beyond that accorded
in normal times. AS a result of this

company, while the balance was due
to new or special state and federal
taxes. The total amount Of taxes was
S195, 467.61.
Our net showing was also somewhat
affected by various rate adjustments
Several years ago in tho larger ex-
changes the company entered upon
the plan of reducing the rate differen-
residence service to as low a figure as
possible, having for it's main purpose
the higher service efficiency that
would be brought about from great
err adoption of individual lines by
subscribers. In recent years this plan
has been extended to the other ex-
changes and was completed during the
past year by rate adjustments in some
fifteen exchanges in the state.
The program of large expenditures
required the issue of 100000 addi-
tional stock of the company, the pro-
ceeds Of which was paid into the treas
ury in December. Under what appears
to be the necessary continuance of
that large program, it is probable that
q call for a similar amount of new
capital will be made upon the stock
holders sSmetime during 1917.

consideration special wage increases
on q liberal scale in all departments
were voluntarily extended in addition
to what might be termed normal ad-
vances for Increased experience and
efficiency. Further, an increase of 33
per cent. in the number of employees
contributed considerable measure of
abnormal expense both in the cost of
training and In the lack of productive
efhciency which goes hand In hand
with an inexperienced force.
In further recognition of the eXcep-
tional conditions then prevailing, the
company gave bonuses at the end of
the year to all employees who Oh De-
cember 1 had been in the service for
three months. Those who had been
in the service for at least three months
but less than one year received an
amount equal to two weeks pay,
while those who had been in the SER
vice for one year or more received the
equivalent of three weeks pay. OF
the 3,276 employees in the service at
that time 2,705 or 80 per cent. re-
ceived a bonus under this plan. The
amount of this special payment to
employees, namely sos, 12S.29, was
charged against the surplus, of the
company, and for that reason does not
appear in the statement of earnings
and expenses for the year.
Taxes Increased.
A substantial increase in expense
was that of 1877 per cent in taxes. A

gross earnings tax paid to the state, re-

Profits Not So Large.
AS forecasted in last years report,
the enlarged program necessarily I'M
dertaken by the company for the year
1915 was not coupled with the increase
in profits generally accruing to bust
ness enterprises of a, different charac-
ter in which increased costs have been
attended with increased selling prices.
To be sure, the large number of new
subscribers and the additional use of
our toll service were reflected in a
substantially increased income. This
added revenue, however, was obtained
under no increased prices for our SER
vice but, on the contrary, in many
cases, under reduced prices, and was
almost wholly offset by the extraor-
binary costs which this business, like
any other business, was obliged to
shoulder under the unusual conditions
that prevailed. Rather than endeavor-
ing to increase its profits to accord
with the generally recognized pros
porous condition Of the times, we
have been more intent upon taking
every practical measure to keep our
service at the highest possible stand

The Report.
The substance OF the report for the
year 1916 is as follows:
From beginning to end the year
proved to be the most active in the
- history of the business. The ire
1nendous expansion, which prevailed
without cessation in practically all
lines of industry and commerce, was
reflected in the telephone business by
an unprecedented public demand for
service and facilities, with the natural
income was coupled with extraordi-
nary expenditures in plant and oper-
alton. These conditions are indicated
in some measure by the balance sheet,
income statement and table of statis-
tics which appear at the end of this
report.
. The total number Of stations of all
kinds in service at the close of the
year was 1877, 1863 or one telephone for
!; every nine of population. The in
crease for the year was 12.809, a rec
ord figure exceeding the highest pre-
vious yearly increase of 1O,647 sta
tons, obtained in 1906, by 2,162 OF
the total, 1850 stations are operat.
ed directly by the company while
the balance is made up of miscel-
laneous stations including those of
small connecting companies within
the state. The number of exchange
,circuits required to connect the sta
tons with the various central offices
= Increased from 1857 to 67,209 or
1876 per cent. as compared with the
Increase of 1913 per cent. in stations
operated directly by the company.
Local traffic, or calls between sub
Bcribers within the same exchange in
creased from 1854 per day to 672,-
922, a gain of 67,503 daily local con-
nections or 11.2 per cent. 1t will be
noted that this increase in local
traffic, just as the increase in ex-
change circuits, was proportionately
greater than the increase in stations,
and that consequently the problem of
the company was not merely that Of
providing facilities for the large num-
Der of new subscribers but that Of
caring for a greatly increased usage
oil VLc,nr t1,nr Mil
traffic showed the even greater re =
lative increase Of 49, per cent.
The necessity of central office en-
largements and additions has been and
will be coincident with similar nec~
essity for providing additional outside
plant in the form of conduit poles,
cables wire, etc. The enormous re-
quirements in this direction are indi-
hated by the fact that during, 1916
the wire mileage of the company
plant increased from $500 miles to

Indian Musician in a
Military Camp Band

The general opinion regarding In
dian music, formed from the general
idea that Indian music consists MOST
Iy of drums and carnations, must be
revised, to some extent, at least, with
respect to some Indians, one OF whom
is considered to be a musician worthy
the Institutional efforts of the famous
sousa.
Ray Drapeau, " of the South Da-
kota Indian boys, is a member of a
military band in training at the Great
Lakes, lea Chicago. sousa, the great
~handmaster, gives the band of which
the Indian boy is a member two les
sons a week.
Mrs. A. R. S~chlosser, of Plankinton,
IS, D., recently visited the training
quarters, and in a personal letter to
Mr.. and Mrs. George Schlosser of this
city, parents Of her husband, tells
about her visit.
While in Chicago she says, I'VE

diers were drilling, and it was a grand
sight-but it made one shiver, too, to
think what it really means. The band

band-and IN it was one of our boys,
Ray Drapeau, an Indian boy.
We had gone out especially to see
him. When the band was. excused
he took us all around and was with
us as long as we were there. He was
SO pleased to see us and we were
surely pleased to see him. Seusa
comes out twice a week and drills
this band that he plays in. We asked
Drapeau if n of our other boys We're.
there, and there was another one that
we had not seen for a long time, and
we had a nice visit with him, too, > =
we saw much preparation for war
while we were gone. It seems SO ter
rible. 1t surely seem that it must
not last very long
Mrs. Schlosser also speaks of Wal
ter Burke, who lis at the officers

near Chicago. Young Burke, who is
a cousin Of her husband, is a sen of
former Congressman and Mrs. Chas.
