BANG! Up WENT YOUR
ICE TWENTY PER CENT
THIS HOT MORN|N c!

Ice rates increased in this city with
q bang this morning, and those who
heretofore have been paying a nickel for
five cents worth of ice We're compelled
to dig up another penny TO add TO the
sum total OF cash received by the com
pany. The little scheme applies on
every nickle invested, In other words
il does not look on the face OF II or
sound by the jingle OF penny like
20 per cent is being added to the cost
of ice in Ardmore, but that is just what
IL amounts TO.
prominent citizen OF this city, one
who holds a responsible position, took
it upon himself to question the ice
man" this morning as TO his views on
the subject, and this is what he reports.
81 asked the driver what the com
pany said in regard 10 the increased
cost of ice, and why It was necessary
anyhow. He replied that the boss
said the increased cost of production
and cost Of machinery made the change
necessary in order for the company TO
make a profit.
II then asked the man II he was get
ting any more for his work and he said
that the drivers and delivery men had
asked for an increase of so cents per
day but so far had not received II.
Asked as 10 what the drivers and de
livery men We're getting, he remarked
they were getting three dollars per day,
with a seven day week.
This wage, ne said, would not apply
to all, as there We're some men in the
employ of the company who We're get.
ting less than that figure.
Asked as to what action the drivers
would take If their demand for a raise
was not granted, he said he presumed
that there would be general quitting
of Jobs at the plant, he said that there
was plenty of work at good wages
in this country and n man could get
work at something fully as soft as de
livering ice, in from five to 200-pound
blocks, sometimes up long flights Of
stairs"
Meanwhile the situation will remain
unchanged until the matter is taken up
with the corporation commission, as II is
likely to be after tonights meeting OF
the Chamber of Commerce.
When called upon and asked If the
company cared to make statement for
publication, assigning its reason Tor the
boost in ice prices, n representative OF
the Consumers Light and Power Com
pany stated that the manager. Paul
Eckern. was absent from the city; that
he was expected TO return on or about
August 5 that upon his return he might
possibly make n statement setting
forth the reasons the company held TO
justify the increase in price.
Discussion of all other matters was
also passed up, pending Manager Eek
erns return.
