Telephone Compahy's Surplus More
Than Wiped Out by Wage Increase

BOSTON, April 23.-There will be an
increase in telephone rates throughout
The territory served by the New Eng
land Telephone & Telegraph Company
as a result of the high wages won by
the telephone operators in the recent
strike.
Higher rates viii be put into effect
as soon as possible, according to Off
Gals Of the telephone company, but
just how much OF an increase viii be
necessary in order to Offset the higher
wages which must be paid to $4,000
persons in the employ of the company,
is not vet certain.
This problem is now being worked
out by the company, and within few
days, probably by the end of the pres
ent week, a complete statement in re-
gard to the rate increase is to be issued
The eompany's surplus last year
which amounted to $3.50, 139 is mere
drop in the bucket, according to the
company, in the increased expenses in
volved in the raising of wages. The so
called "proft and loss surplus of ths
company, amounting to $4,500,090, Is
not an actual surplus in money, it wa,

TOWNSHEND.
Easter Sunday.

That there are people enough in Town
shend to fill the church was demonstrated
at the Congregational church Easter Sun
day, where after the usual opening ex-
ercises and brief but very appropriate
address by Rev r. H. Bosworth, canta-
at by the united choirs of the Baptist
and Congregational churches was given.
Much credit for the successful rendering
of the eantata is due to the leader, H. p
Robbins, who put in much labor and time
in its preparation. This work was done
not merely to get crowd for one sun
day but rather to awaken in the minds
and hearts of the people an interest in
what the church stands for, and is trying
to do and to lead more OF the people and
especially the men to become regular at
tendants
