New Orleans, La.
Your letter of October 18th asks
very natural question, and one
which demands a full and frank
reply, which / am glad to make.
While the prices of a great many
things have, apparently, been re-
duced, these reductions in prices
do not apply to articles used by the
telephone company, or affect the
expenditures necessary in the con-
struction maintenance and opera
tion Of the telephone plant.
The following classes Of expenses
constitute more than ninety-five
percent of the cost of furnishing
telephone service:
Labor.
More than fifty-five percent of
the total expenditures of the COM
pany in rendering service are for
wages and salaries; less than one
tenth of one percent 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 ap-
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 manufacturers
of telephone equipment and mater
ial have orders booked Off two
years in advance with a costantly
increasing demand, and which in
turn makes a reduction in price in
the near future most improbable.
Freight and Passenger Costs.
Our annual expense for the
transportation of freight and pas
sengers is mere than one million
dollars. No one expects the Rail
roads to reduce their charges un-
der the level Of costs in rendering
their service.
Except in the larger centers our
central Offices and stocks of mat
erial arc housed in rented build
ngs, 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 pre-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 wh0 must travel in con-
nection with the operation and
maintenance Of the property, costs
many thousand. Of dsll2Fs every
year, and we csD see no prospect

operation are materially reduced
we can not reduce the COSTS Of
furnishing telephone service.
We have carefully studied and
analysed the advertised reduction
in prices and find that they are
upon articles of which we make
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. the present
let down in general expenses con-
tinues for any appreciate time we
will lose a material part of the
gross revenue now received, which
will make a still higher rate neces-
sary if 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 fivs.
years.
This fact should be considered
when comparing the increase in
rates we ask with the increase in
the charges in 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 cost of operation except
labor, will be lower, but we see no
immediate prospect 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 a
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 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 SER
vice, and in this way be prepared
to render at all times an adequate
service. No community can ex-
pand 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,-t Com
pany's credit has disappeared.
With no credit the Company can
not secure the millions of dollars
required to provide the additions
and extensions to it's plant, which
must be provided If the public de-
maRd for telephones is supplied.
Respectfully yours,
!. EPPS BROWN, President.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK

NEW YORK. April 30.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 Impediments to seasonal business development are both varied in char acter and far-reaching in their influ. ence, and the slowing down of condi- tions has been progressive and prac |. tically general.
 Relief from the railroad congestion has permitted resumption of work at some plants where suspensions hal been forced through lack of essential materials. but freight movements ars still retarded and production more or less disorganized and not a few tran sections that might overwise be con. summated are of necessity being held in abeyance.
 While the restraint imposed by in terrupted transportation alone is suf" ficient to appreciably curtail activities, there are the added clements of pres ent abnormal prices and tightening OK money markets, and the backward spring in most sections is having no effect in limiting operations.

NEW YORK, April 30.-The stock market experienced it's tenth consecu- tive reversal today, tomorrow's recess for moving day. with its possible
 disturbances, provoking additional
 professional selling pressure.
 There were other unfavorable de- velopments, however, including fur ther signs that the federal reserve board is continuing it's firm policy or contracting credits by all the means at it's command It was said on the street that it is evidently the intention of the
 central bank authorities to make comprehensive investigation of bank acceptances for the purpose of weed ing out or reducing to minimum all obligations that are not actually of a discount character.
 The end of the fourth month of the year found the local money market almost absolutely bare of time funds. while call loans rose from to 15 per cent, easing to 12 per cent ill the final dealings.
 Foreign exchange was reactionary. the break in sterling bills being as- cribed to heavy offerings of London
 bills by exporters to meet maturities in this market. Unconfirmed reports
 referred to large shipments of gold from London to this center in the near future. Trading in stocks was smaller than on any previous day of the week.
 Extreme declines of to 10 points in the various pooled shares, notably steels, equipments, motors and oils, were largely recovered at the end. short coverin accelerating the rally. With the exception of United states steel and Baldwin Locomotive, major gains were made by the more specu- lative issues. General Motors finished unchanged after having lost 10 points. Sales amounted to 925.000 shares.
 New low records for Liberty 3Rs. first 4s, and third 412s, contributed to the heavier bond market. interna- stionals also yielding. Total sales (par value), aggregated $15.700,000. Pan- anna 3s declined per cent on call; othed old United States showing no alteration.

NEW YORK.-"Those who are spreading propaganda against Soviet Russia are. consciously or unconscious iy, doing German work. They are do- ing exactly what Germany wants, keep ing this country. England, France and Italy from establishing commercial and other relations with Russia.
 These are the words of General I. Thord Gray, late of Kolchak's army.
