hood, casting helpful influ-
ence about them and exerting
a big force in the development

They Go Up When Wages of
Operators Do
KOONS SAYS NO OTHER WAY
He Says Companies Will Not Profit
BY Any Increase Necessary for
This Purpose

Boston, April 21.-Now that normal
telephone service has been resumed
in New England, it is announced that
there must be an increase in rates
charged for service by the New Eng
land Telephane and Telegraph com
pany in order to keep the income up
to the increased expense account due
to the new wage schedule.
This was indicated by First Assis-
tant Postmaster General Rooms in a
statement before he left for Washing
ton tonight.
"As there is no congressional ap-
propriation,' Mr.. Koons said, for the
payment Of this or other expenses of
the operation of these wire systems,
the postmaster general must pay
them out of the revenues earned by
the various companies. These revenu-
es must be increased if expenses in
crease and the only available way OF
getting increased revenue is through
increased rates to the public. Neces-
sarily, the increases in wages agreed
upon will involve an increase of rates
in these companies, study of which
will be made at once. IT is proper to
add that the companies will not profit
by any increase that may be nsces
sary as all revenues go to the govern
