CHAMBER ASSAILS
PHONE RATE RISE
Committees Statement De-
clares Undue Hardship Is I'M
posed on Subscribers

Increase OF telephone rates ordered
by Postmaster General Burlcson has
brought an emphatic protest from the
Chamber of Commerce. In state
mcnt issued by that body it was declared
that undue hardshps were imposed on
subscribers through the new rates.
=. G. Staples, division manager of
the Bell Telephone Company. announced
yesterday that only about a dozen sub
sCribcrS had ordered their phones re-
moved within the laFt few days because
of the increased cost If service. There
had been other removals, he said, but
they were not attributable to the change
in rates.
Mr.. Staples said that no official of the
company could estimate the amount Of
revenue which the added charges would
yield. lie said he believed the public
regarded the increases as taIr.
1T seems more than probable" he
said. "thut the telephone systems will
soon pass back into private ownership.
If the Bell Telephone Company in Penn
sylvania passes out of government con
troll it will be for the Public Service
Commission of the state to determine
whether the schedule of rates fixed by
the government was proper one. Until
the Public Service Commission decides
on that matter, | think the public will
withhold any expression of opinion, ia
yOrablc or otherwise.

STRIKERS GO TO BURLESON
Phone Workers Who Lost Jobs Ap-
peal to Postmaster General

Former employees of the Keystone
Telephone Company who automatically
lost their positions when they went ON
strike have appealed to Postmaster Cen
cral Burleson for action under the terms
of his order granting the right of col
lective bargaining to telephone workers.
This statement was made by *. NJ.
Whitten, representing the strikers. Ed 70
ward NJ. Cooke, general manager of the
Keystone Company. said he had heard
nothing of the proposed settlement of
the strike. He said the Company's EN- =
ploycs have an organization of their
own through which they have collective
bargaining, and he therefore did not
believe that the order of the postmaster
general applied to the strikers.
"Those who left our employ through
strike did so voluntarily, and we do not
consider that We can deal with them, -
said Mr.. Cooke.
This will be an opportunity to test
the sincerity of Mr.. BurIeson," saiG
Mr.. Whitten. ''lIe has plainly sail
that telephone workers have the right
to bargain collectively The negotiations
are being carried on between represen
tatives of the Electrical Workers. Unior
and the postmaster general"

merous, but Chief Tips OFF
Motor Club Members

Out in certain pretty suburb on
the Main Line there is constable
living on Strawberries and cream with
motorists paying the bill.

been hauled up for failing to sound
their horns. sThe constable makes COM
plant and fine costs are imposed. The
costs fall like plums into the "con-
stables" pockets.
But the plum tree is going to be
chopped down.
The police chief Of the suburb has
noticed the glee with which the con-
stable pounces on his victims. The
chief wants the law enforced, but he
doesn't want it stretched. So he called
up the Keystone Automobile Club to-
day and made a suggestion.
AS result club scout will be sent
out and posted below the "constable's"
trap. A warning flag will be waved
before each motorist and the only thing
left for the bcbadged trapper will be
to grit his teeth and glare.

Gross Levy to Municipalities

Under a new state law in New Jersey
all street railway traction lines, gas and
electric companies and other such cor
porations will pay a gross receipt tax
into each municipality in which they
operate.
mo more personal tax can be levied
upon them by the municipalities. and
this week the Public Service Railway,
Public Service Gas Company and the
Public Service Electric Company. which
are part of the Public Service Corpora
ton, filed appeals with the Camden
county board of taxation and other
county boards in the state for the re-
moval of the personal tax where the
same has been assessed.

moved under the law. In Gloucester
