BIG FIGHT IMPENDS
OVER HIGHER RATES
FOR PHONE SERVICE
CONTINUED from First PaEe.l

Utilities Commission wishes to de.
velop them, and there are indications
today that the commission will have
to 90 into a wider range OF investi'
cation than the simple one Of wheth-
er automatics will improve and cheap
en- the service here. TheTe is no good
reason why the public Shall not have
everything that Is in the least peril
nent to the question at issue. The
light should be shed on all facts and
all interests that are entangled in
this fight.
Let the commission bring out, for
instance, why the Bell company, with
its millions OF capital, has consistently
fought automatic phones: why IL has
junked every automatic system in
every city or town where II has
bought out local companies, and let
figures and facts show what is the
difference in cost OF operation, be-
tween manual and automatic equip
ment
For years there has been a bitter
fight between the Bell people and the
Automatic Electric Company, OF Chi
cago, which owns the original Pat
ents on automatics and which claims
that it is able to supply this city with
all the equipment 1t needs without
delay.
The people OF Washington are not
concerned in this fight so far as two
corporations are concerned, although
one is small and struggling against a
giant. They are deeply concerned,
however, in the one question OF
whether they should pay increased
rates for a service that has long been
abominable and whether that service
can be improved without advance Of
rates by the installation Of equipment
belonging to any corporation or indi-
vidual, whether the Bell company
does or does not want to do Il.
On the other hand, Washington
people do not wish any injustice done
a big corporation simply because it Is
big and is one or the huge monopolies
of the world. 1t does not want to
ask continuation OF rates for a serv-
ice that Is losing money to its owners.
Government officials are not con-
cerned in the slightest about the re-
spective corporation interests. They
are concerned about what the facts
show. about the rights OF the masses
Of the people, about the extension of
communication among people at the
lowest possible prices. The Postoffice
backed by Postmaster
Burleson, fully understands
this inside fight and knows the enor-
nous ramihcatiOns, personal and DO
litical. back of the whole thing. At
the same time It has insisted without
{ quivocation that automatic phones
here will settle the local problem, and
that nobody will have to pay in
rraa ged rates

unusual activity about dock number four.
at Hobolien, where the transport George
Washinston was rnoored. Workmen were
busy throughout the night putting
the finishing touches on the liner and
completing the elaborate decorations
Of the pier
The usual barred zone was widely
extended and only those armed with spe-
cial passes were allowed to approach the
streets leading to the dock, Military
police kept an all night vigil over the
route from the railroad station to the
pier, while hundreds OF agents of the
secret service and OF the army and navy
intelligence services watched the side
streets and kept inquisit!ve persons on
the move. War vessels kept a ceaseless
patrol Of the waters near the transport.
while at dawn army airplanes circles
from the air. Perhaps never before have
such elaborate plans been mapped out
to guard the President.
The long pier was gayiy decorated
with thousands of flags and bunting. A
canopy consisting of mass OF Ameri,
can flags and emblems Of the Allies
extended over the gangplank.
