ADOPTS UNIQUE METHOD
 ATTACKING BROTHERS

NEW YORK, Sept. If (by Associa, ted Press) Old fashioned sandwich man publicity has been chosen by Dr. Robert Grimshaw, efficiency engineer and faculty member of New Y ork University, for an attack on the high cost of groceries in the Washington Heights section of this city. Dr. Grimshaw served notice that grocers would have to cut their prices, or hear from him. Quotations remained virtually unchanged, the doctors bill boarded sandwich men paraded in Washington Heights throughout the main thorOughfares and market sec tions heralding the wholesale prices for garden truck, showing a wide mar gin below retail costs.
 Washington Heights housewives generally have noted the Grimshaw, sandwich men and their message, and everybody is talking about it."

President S. R. Heys and Sec

emma. Smithville and Brentwood in
the interests of the Sumter county
fair and today stated that they found
the people of Dooly, Lee and Terrell
counties actively interested in the
fair to be staged here November g.

that the people from these adjoining
counties are not only coming to the
show in large numbers, but are 60
ing to send many attractive exhibits
of agricultural products, live. stock,
etc.
At Vienna, Messrs. Heys and Per-

full swing, and some especially at
tractive exhibits were seen. They
stated that the Duroc-Jersey hogs

Several of these were entered for
the Sumter county fair and their
owners are confident that they will
carry off some of the prize money.

Columbus Man May

COLUMBUS, Oct. 21.-William
C. Bradley, local capitalist, will prob
ably be chosen president of the Co
ca-Cola company at meeting Of
the directors of the big soft drink
company to be held in New York
Monday, succeeding President Sam
pey C. Dobbs, of Atlanta.
Mr.. Bradley is one of the largest
if not the largest stakeholder in the
Coca-Cola company, it is understood.
His business career has been one of
repeated success and that the direct
ors would make no mistake in NAM
ing him as a successor to Mr.. Dobbs
is generally conceded.
When questioned last night Mr.
Bradley stated that he would neither
affirm nor deny this report that Mr..
Dobbs has rendered his resignation
and that he would be chosen to head
the big concern.
There have been persistent reports
for several weeks that the officers
of the Coca-Cola company have not
been in harmony 1t is believed that
the election of the Columbus man
will do much to settle the troubled
waters and keep the newly organic
ed company in the path of prosper
ity. The original company was pur-
chased for $4,000. Since that time
much paper has been put on the
market

Mf----....------------
New Orleans, La,
Dear SIR
Your letter of October 18th asks
a very natural question, and one
which demands a full and frank
reply, which l am glad to make.
While the prices of great many
things have, apparently, been re-
duced, these reductions in prices
do not amply to articles used by
the telephone company, or affect
the expenditures necessary in the
construction, maintenance and OPP
Grafton of the telephone plant.
The following classes of ex-
penses constitute more than nine
ty-fve per cent of the cost of fur
nishing telephone service.
Labor.
More than fifty-five per cent. of
the total expenditures of the Com
pany in rendering service are for
wages and salaries; less than one
tenth of one per cent. of this be-
ing for executive and general sal
aries.
The wages paid to our employees
can not. and should not, be re-
duced. On the contrary they must
be increased. in many cases, to
bring our wage scale on a level
with wages paid by unregulated
businesses, so that we may retain
our skilled employees necessary to
give you efficient service.
Material and Apparatus.
Many items of material and APP
paratus are involved in the current
maintenance of the property, en-
tirely apart from the enormous
quantities involved in the construc-
ton of new property, and this rep
resents large item of expense,
There has been no reduction nor
any indication of reduction, in the
price of these essential articles, in
practically all of which the labor,
freight and hauling cost is by far
the largest proportion of the total
cost.
We know that the manufactur-
ers of telephone equipment and
material have orders booked for
two years in advance with a con-
stantly increasing demand, and
which in turn makes a reduction in
price in the near future most i'm
probable.
Freight and Passenger Costs.
Our annual expense for the
TRANSPORTATION of freight and mas
sengers is more than one million
dollars. No one expects the Rail
roads to reduce their charges I'M
der the level of costs in rendering
their service.
Rent.
Except in the larger centers our
central offices and stocks of ma
terial are housed in rented build
ings, and even in the larger CEN
tiers we rent varying amounts of
properties.
Like every one else, our rents
have been greatly increased, with
no prospect Of any reduction. Even
in Ure-war days all leases for prop
erty occupied by US were renewed
only at higher charges than for
the previous rental period.
Hotels.
The board and lodging bill for
our men who must travel in con-
nection with the operation and
maintenance of the property, costs
many thousands of dollars every

year and we can see no prospect
of the hotels lowering their
charges. Until they do, we must
pay the present hioh charges.
Electric Power and Light; Street
Car Fare.
We spend many thousands OF
dollars every year for these SER
vices. rendered to employees en-
gagged in the maintenance Of the
property. Practically every year
the rates charged by these COM
panies have been substantially in
creased, and there is no thought of
any reduction. The Telephone
Company, like all others, must pay
these increased rates.
Paper, Printing and Stationery.
We consume tons of paper for
bookkeeping, correspondence and
directory purposes, and pay many
thousands of dollars for printing
annually. This item of expense
has increased in percentage more
than the others, and no one has
suggested that any reduction in
these costs is probable.
Coal Bill.
The Telephone Company pur-
chases coal in large quantities to
heat the buildings occupied by its
employees in rendering the service.
We of course, must pay what
ever price is necessary to secure
the coal for this purpose.
Insurance.
Even where the actual rate per
one thousand dollars has not been
increased, we are compelled to car
nv a larger amount of insurance
than in pre-war days in order to
protect ourselves in the reproduc-
ton of any of the property which
NAV be destroyed by fire, and this
is reflected in a very large increase
in the total insurance bill.
Taxes.
This expense, both Federal,
State, County and City, has in
creased every year we have been
in business; the increase this year
being unusually high. There is no
probability of this expense being
reduced
We do not pay any excess prof
it's tax because we have never
earned enough to be subject to
that tax.
Buildings.
1t is common knowledge that the
cost of erecting any kind of build
ing now. as well as making alter
ations and repairs, which constant
" confront the Telephone Compa-
nv and which involve material, la
Dor, freight and hauling, is on an
enormously higher plane than ev-
er before. Insofar as the cost of
materials may be reduced will this
total cost be reduced.
The only way we can furnish
adequate facilities for your use
from year to year is by construct
ing the buildings in which to house
the central office apparatus in the
larger centers; as we'll as charging
existing buildings to serve the in
creased needs, and this work must
be carried on from wear to year
without delay. This involves hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in
expense to the Company.
There are, of course, many
other items of expense all of
which are now at the highest level
in prices, and none of which show
any sign of reduction for funda-
mental reasons.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-10-21

Until these necessary costs of
operation are materially reduced
we can not reduce COSTS of
furnishing telephone service.
We have carefully studied and
analyzed the advertised reduction
in prices and find that they are
but little, if any, use. Applied to
the telephone business all known
reduction in prices would not re-
duce the cost of furnishing tele-
phone service one twentieth of one
per cent.
This is many times offset by the
increase in wages which, in many
places, we must make during the
current year.
Our present operating revenues
are practically equalled by our OPP
Grating expenses. If the present
let down in general business con-
tinues for any appreciable time we
will lose a material part of the
gross revenue now received, which
will make still higher rate neces-
sary if a deficit is avoided.
We are not asking higher rates
for the SAME SERVICE we fur
nished one, two or five years ago;
but for a much GREATER SER
VICE which we now furnish, con-
sisting of facilities to add many adj
ditional telephones to our system
during the past one, two and i've
years.
This fact should be considered
when comparing the increase IN
rates we ask with the increase in
the charges of railroad, express
and other public utilities for the
same quantity of service.
We hope, as every one does, that
in the relatively near future prices
and the costs of operation, except
labor. will be lower, but we see no
immediate prospects of this result
as far as the Telephone Company
is concerned. ,
The increased rates we are now
asking are based in a measure up
on this hope. If the present level
of costs of operation go higher,
through causes beyond our control,
the proposed rates will not yield
fair profit.
1t is important to remember that
no rate for a public utility is per-
manent. If conditions and prices
so change in the future as to make
the rates we are now asking yield
too high a return. and if the Tele-
phone Company should not reduce
the rates voluntarily The public
Service Commission would.
Conditions as they are must be
met, not as they may or should be.
The highest and best interest of
the public is conserved in having
the Telephone. Company in posi-
ton to supply facilities adequate
to the demand for telephones and
service, and in this way be pre-
pared to render at all times an ade-
quate service. No community can
expand and grow without adequate
telephone service, which in turn
means adequate plant facilities.
With inadequate returns upon
the bare cost of the physical prop
erty already in service,-the Com
panv's credit has disappeared.
With no credit the Company
cannot secure the millions of dol
lars required to provide the addi-
tons and extensions to it's plant,
which must be provided if the pub
lie demand for telephones is to be
supplied. Respectfully yours,
j. EPPS BROWN, President.

MACON, Oct. 21-The first trips
of the Dixie Flyer and the Southland
over the Southwestern division of the
Central of Georgia railroad, from
Macon to Americas and Albany, and
thence on to Jacksonville over the
regular route of those trains, will be
made through Macon on November
/, it was announced early today.
Announcement was made some
time ago that the two fast tourist
trains will take this route but the
date was not definitely decided until
conference of officials of all lines
interested in New York yesterday.
H. D. Pollard. general superin-
tendent, arrived in Macon early this
morning to arrange the schedules of
the trains. The change is to take
place on Oct. 81, but as said, the
first use of the Southwestern di-
vision tracks by these trains will be
on the early morning of November
Attending the conference in New
York yesterday for the Central of
Georgia railroad were c. T. Airey,
vice-president and traffic manager
F. ]. Robinson, general passenger
agent, and G. L. Gambler, assistant
general manager.
Arrangements are now being
made to put on the Dixie Limited
about the first of the year, which
also is to be operated over the
Southwestern division of the Central
of Georgia Railroad.
These fast trains are now operat-
ed from Macon to Triton over the
Georgia Southern and Florida Rail
road.
