After-the-War Problems Affect
Telephone Service


No large business enterprise private or public, has
readusted itself to conditions or solved the prob
lens produced by the Certainly telephone
pany has accomplished this achievement
The relief and happiness experienced by the public
when the arnstce signed caused many to hope and
believe that entire social and business structure
would return overnight to standards of practice
and of efficiency.
Expressions from our subscribers and from the pub
lie indicate expectation that telephone service should
be efficient it prior to the and that
extensions and installations should be executed as
promptly as in normal times. =
True the fighting has ceased and the governments
requirements have lessened, but we are undergoing
period of reconstruction and readustment that filled
with problems equally delicate and difficult as those
conquered when nation was at war.
When the arpnistice was signed this company found
itself confronted with thousands of orders which it had
been unable to fill Governmental restrictions were re-
moved, but equi pment could not be secured over
night. 1t must first be engineered then ordered, manu-
featured and then installed
The technical men needed for the work are not avail
able in sufficient numbers to handle it quickly in
normal times and they will not be available for many
months until the thousands of Bell telephone men who
volunteered for duty in France have returned.
In the operating branch Of service ham
ding more local and toll calls than ever before in the his
tory of our country Hundreds of operators have
been employed and trained but the percentage of new
operators is great that the service is not to prewar
standards.
Last fall the Influenza epidemic ragged among our en-
ployees Every feature of business handicapped
but the operators most seriously affected. The flu
is still prevalent and today the shortage of operators
serious menace to service.
We would be failing in our duty if we did not state
frankly that it will be many months before your service
can be appreciably improved "A loyal organization is
striving the difficulties of the reconstruction
period and every talent and resource is employed in
this effort

when the tax levy was made last
summer. the state tax commission took
into consideration all probable extra
funds which would go to the general
revenue fund" said Payne. There
Is a probability that We will have q
limited sum available above the
amount taken into account Extra fees
and revenues will take care OF the
legislative expense. but there can be
no heavy appropriations unless bonds
are issued or warrants are stamped

special session is in regard TO appro-
priation-"
Minimum expenses of the legisla-
ture-allowing for the $4,000 ma
tional guard appropriation-wil be
from 100000 to s125,000. Should
demands of departments be consid-
cred. they may run much higher.
The expense of the special ession is
estimated at $4,000 to S25,0e0.
Should the legislature give additional
funds TO the attorney general and
governor. demands are certain to come
from other state sources. No addi-
tionaI taxes can be collected until the
1891 levy is made and payable one
year hence.
Treasurer Payne will probably be
called before the joint session of the
ways and means committee when ap-
preparation measures are considered
during the special session. And the
information which he is expected to
provide will doubtless go long way
in reducing the legislative program by
restricting the supply of cash to state
departments.

AdsEING I've EaHHA06hE
Compromise Workers Offer
Three New Changes.
Make Their Appeal to the Mild
ReServati0niSts.
ACCEPTABLE TO TWO-THIRDS
VIII Change Wording on Article
Ten to Please Wilson.
Expect No Concrete Action Till
Senate Reeonvenes Monday.

Washington. Dec. 2s.-Republican
and Democratic senators working for
a peace treaty compromise centered
their attention today on a plan said
to be accepted by the mild reserva-
ton Republicans and by a number
OF Democrats for ratification with
three notifications in the fourteen
reservations approved by the senate
majority at the last session.
The three changes. which some
senator's believe would make the
reservations acceptable to two-thirds,
deal with the preamble declaration
that the qualifications mist be ac-
auiesced in by the other powers, with
article ten and with Shantung.
The mild group believe tht Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader. will be
willing to make these changes. and
that Senator Hitchcock. leader of the
Democrats, also will be satisfied with
them. It was said. however. that
neither OF the party heads in the sem
ate had yet expressed a final opinion
Under the new preamble suggested.
the senate reservations would be re-
garded as accepted by the other par
ties to the treaty unless specific OBJ
lection were made within g. limited
time. The wording Of the article ten
reservation would be changed so as to
eliminate the language which Presi-
dent Wilson said he would regard as
a rejection of the treaty and to sub
stirute an affirmative declaration that
the articles obligations are accepted
WITH the understanding that future
congresses shall be at liberty to de-
eide questions OF peace and war. Ian
guage which some senators have re-
garded as offensive to other powers
would be modified in the Shantung
reservation
AItho compromise talk on this and
other modification plans continues
among the senator's remaining here
there are so many absent that no con-
crete action is expected until the SEN
ate reassem mbles next Monday
