TRAFFIC INCREASE
IS UNFAIR EXCUSE

Investigation into Soaitlc's
poor telephone service by the
city utilities department.. accord
Ing "a Supt. Thomas Murphinc.
shows that there are fewer teic-
phone calls per day In 1918 than
I'm 1917. And there were fewer
calls per day In 1917 than In
1916.
Figures In support OF this conten-
ton will be submitted to Mayor
Hanson this week. They confutc
the company's contention that the
rush Of war business has broken
down Scattie's phone service
Nurphinc explains that while
there are more phone subscribers
now than ever before. the number
Of calls has been automatically cut
down by the elimination OF free
phones from stores and other sta
tions where the public formerly had
access. The cash and carry system
Installed in many stores has also
brought about a big reduction In
the number Of calls handled. he
says.
Poor pay given employees. IN my
oplnion. is the chief cause % the
breakdown" says Murphine, THERE'S
no doubt that the company'S policy
toward employees has brought about
the loss OF so many experienced op-
orators that the service had taken a
corresponding slump"
Don't Biamc Government
that fhF
government Is taking no part In
the management OF the local tele-
phone service.
People should refrain from
blaming the government for poor
phone service at this time" he
SAYS. The government hasn't
taken a hand In the management
Of phone service yet Many people
think this Is the case. however.
and are taking this opportunity TO
knock tho principle OF government
operation. wouldn't be surprised
" the present service was permitted
IN an effort 10 try and give gov
eminent ownership a black eye.
Service. however. has improved
since The star got after tho. pres
ent state OF affairs. I would say
that service Us now 50 per cent
better than IL was before The
Star printed Its first editorial on
the subject"
