The Facts Of the Telephone Situation in Georgia
By j. EPPs Brown, President.
SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE s. TELEGRAPH COMPANY
Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce

The telephone material supply situation
is always one of factory capacity, labor,
raw materials and transportation.
Prior to August, 1914, the supply Of raw
materials; the manufactured output; labor
and transportation, was adequate. AS
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt.
From June, 1916, to April, 1917, (when
this country entered the war; prices aver
aged an advance of nearly 100 per rent and
deliveries became intolerably slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from all parts Of the world
Platinum, used in switchboards, came
from Russia.
Silk, used in vast quantities for irsuIat-
ing wires, comes from Japan.
Old MANILA rope, used in making paper
for insulating wires in cables comes from
the WharVes of the world.
Diamonds, used in drawing out fine wire
for use in switchboards, came from Europe
Many other illustrations could be given.
These foreign sources of raw materials
supply were eliminated during the period of
the European war and are now far below
normal.
Lead, copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture of telephone
equipment and materials, are also essential
for the making of munitions The war
greatly reduced the available amount of
raw materials and lessened the telephone
manufacturers production
Strikes in industrial centers which fur
nished the raw materials, and strikes and
embargoes on railroads essential to trans
portation Of both raw materials and the fin
islled products, are prime factors in the
present shortage in telephone materials and
facilities.
The factories Of our suppliers have capac-
ity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage of productive labor, lack of fuel,
shortage Of transportation facilities and
ernbargoes affecting the sources Of raw ma
terials, have greatly interfered with their
possible output.
Today, with prices higher than war
prices, the demand greater than ever
known, current production is far less than
the demand, being approximately 40 per
cent below the average, with deliveries slow
and uncertain.
In the face Of this condition the demand
for telephone service has increased and con-
tinueS TO increase enormously.
To meet this demand all available surplus
facilities and materials were gradually but
constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
in 1917, the Government needs were Of
course, given precedence and only small
part of the available raw materials manu-
featured from that date until the signing Of
the armistice was allotted to telephone CON-
panies.

MORE GOLD FALLACIES

N UR ESTEEMED contemporary, The Commerce Monthly, O prints long article quite like many others from the school of political to the general effect that the restoration the gold standard the practicable ton of present monetary difficulties Tables show the stocks of monetary gold in 1913 and 1918 in the countries the expansion of during the time and the of wholesale prices from 1918 to the end of 19i9
 The meres glance at these tables shows that the pheno treated the dscusson cannot be to the of gold, to changes in the distribution of gold
 Take for instance Italy whose stock of gold depleted only about 12 cent The currency increased by 45 per cent and prices by 55 cent In the United States the stock of gold doubled currency increased 1 per cent and wholesale prices 238 per cent
 n Germany the stock gold diminished about 25 per cen currency increased 8 per cent of prices not given.
 Nevertheless prices in Germany higher than in of the allied countries speaking in terms of percentage of since 1918.
 Here plainly phenomena to be attributed to the laws supply The goods the they bring and the they bring the o carry the transactions.
 Potatoes at $1 require one-hird much for their movement for the consumption potatoes at s require.
 There connection between the quantity currency the increase in prices of quantities and little no connection between those things and gold.

TRIED TO PASS
 BOGUS MONEY
fks .sse.ar. N..-spa..r syeass.a

Seized last night as he attempted to pass a bogus $20 bill in a saloon at the corner of Water and Golden Hill streets, a man who gives his name as Joseph Borbe, of IT Railroad place, is now being held for the federal au- thorities under $2.5o0 bonds on a charge of attempting to alter and raise United States money.
 Borbe presented the $20 counter felt bill in payment for a drink in the local cafe last night, but the bartender recognized the money as false, and summoned the police. Morbe was ar- rested by PatrolInen Meehan and Gregory as he was attempting to get rid of a large roll of bills.
 At police headquarters Borbe was relieved of a roll of cash which amounted to about $50. Among the bills was the fake $20 which had been raised from a $5, and a fake $10 bill which had been raised from $2 bill All of the other bills appeared to be genuine. A United States Secret Ser vice man arrived in Bridgeport this noon and took Borbe in charge. He will probably be given a hearing be- fore United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery.

EXPLAINS NEWS
 PRINT. SHORTAGE

Washington, April 29-Lack of sat- isfactory understanding between the publishers and print paper manufac- turers was held to be responsible in part for the present paper shortage
 by Paul Patterson, one of the pub- fishers of the Baltimore Sun in testi- mony today before the Senate Manu- facturers' subcommittee Investigating the paper situation. He said that while there would be no increased production this year, production in 1921 would be 5000 tons over that for 1920.
 The present shortage, the witness told the committee, resulted from in- creased consumption beyond the ca | pacity of the paper mills. Saying that increased prices for paper were neces- sary about three years ago, he asserted I that the producers failed to take the publishers into their confidence at that time, with the result that an l agitation was started against in l creased prices and for public control l of the paper industry. Also the man l ufacturers, he said, failed to expand | their plants due to the lack of under | standing between them and the pub l lishers
 l 'HThen you think the position taken | by the newspaper publishers was a l mistake?" Chairman Reed of the
 ubcommittee, asked.
 ''Yes," was the reply "It was a lack of understanding between them and also a lack of proper publicity AS a result of this situation, MT. Pat terson said, when the publishers came to renew their paper contracts this year insufficient paper to meet the | demands was discovered so that they
 entered 1920 with a Shortage of paper
 on every hand"
 The testimony given yesterday by 1 George AGcAneny, executive manager | of the New York Times, was misun- derStoOd in one important particular
 and lie has requested a, correction.
 He was quoted as saying that the
 rived in part from contracts with
 f'some Canadian nnills''' and that 'tcon-
 tracts with the Canadian mills were
 made at prices varying from S-4 to 8 IA cents per pound"
 FtThe Ties" he said, 'ehas two minor
 contracts, one for 7,500 tons at 3-4 and one for 4,200 tons at an adjust able price which has varied up to If lcents. Both of these contracts, how
 ever, are with New York mills, not Canadian, and so stated.'' The pa Canada. has all come from the mills of the Canadian Export Paper Com
 pany, and for this the Times has not
 paid higher than that company's con-
 tract price of 4 1-2 cents.''

 Reports from Sonora that troops sent from Juarez to Casas Grandes for the Sonora campaign had refused to fight the Sonora troops were denied by federal Mexican authorities at Juarez, who said that telegrans had been received from commanders here that they and their troops would re- main loyal to the Mexico City govern ment.
 Auga Prieta, April 29-President Carranza's "steel ring'' which it was announced from Mexico City which he intended placing about revolutionary Sonora, has been broken and part of the ring has joined the revolution. reports to this base of operations in- dicated today.
 In Chihuahua approximately 4,000 Carranza troops had revolted, accord mig to an estimate by General P. Elias Gales, rebel commander in the northwest, at his headquarters here, These troops already have been in battle with loyal federal troops, Gen eral Gales said. He said he had full confirmation of the revolution of the four thousand and the fighting, which was declared favorable to the revolu- tionists.
 The Chihuahua situation has as- sured the Sonorans their state will not be invaded, according to General Gales.
 General Gales said he expected
 Juarez, across the International boundary from Fl Paso, Txeas, to join the revolt. Mexicans here called attention to a Mexican belief that Che who takes Juarez takes Mexico Mazatlan, the largest Mexican port on the Pacific, was reported yesterday under attack by rebel troops under
