LABOR

More than f~fty-fve per cent of the total
expenditure of the Company in rendering ser
vice are for wages and salaries; less than one
tenth of one per cent of this being for executive
and general salaries.
The wages paid to our employees cannot, and
should not, be reduced. On the contrary they
must be increased, III many cases, to bring our
wage scale on a level with wages paid by un-
regulated businesses, so that we may retain our
skilled employees necessary to give you efficient
service.

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 | am glad to make.
While the prices Of a great many things
have, apparently, been reduced, these reductions
IN prices do not apply to articles used by the
telephone company, or affect the expenditures
necessary in the construction, maintenance and
operation Of the telephone plant.
The following classes of expenses consti-
tute more than ninety-five per cent of the cost of
furnishing telephone service:

We spend many thousands of dollars every
year for these services rendered to employees
engaged in the maintenance of the property.
In the majority of cases the rates charged by
these companies have been substantially increas-
ed, and there is no thought of any reduction.
The Telephone Company, like all others must
pay these increased rates.
PAPER, PRINTING N 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 of these cost is probable.
COZ BILL
The Telephone Company purchases coal IN
large quantities to heat the buildings occupied
by its employees in rendering the service.
We, of course, must pay whatever price is
necessary to secure the coal for this purpose.

RENT

Except III the larger centers our central of
flee and stocks of material are housed in rented
buildings, and even in the larger centers we rent
varying amounts Of properties.
Like every one else, our rents have been
greatly increased, with no prospect of any re-
duction. Even IN pre-war days all leases for
property occupied by us were renewed only at
higher charges than for the previous rental
period.
HOTEL
The board and lodging bill for cur men,

many thousands of dollars every year, and we

MATERIAL AND APPARATUS

Many items of material and apparatus are
involved in the current maintenance of the prop
erty, entirely apart from the enormous quaint
ties involved in the construction of new property,
and this represents a large item of expense.
There has been no reduction, nor any indication
of reduction, in the price of these essential ar
tlcles, in practically all of which the labor,
freight and hauling cost is by far the largest
proportion of the total cost. ,
We Know the manufactures of telephone
equipment and material have orders booked for
two years In advance, with a constantly increas-
ing demand, and which in return makes a re-
duction i price in the near future most i'm

NEW ENGLAND ROADS
CURTAIL SERVICE

Boston, March New England rail-
roads inaugurated their return to private
ownership to-day by curtailing passenger
train service on several lines as a means
of expediting needed fuel and food de-
liveries delayed by the recent storms and
freeze-ups. Fifty-one trains were taken
off by the New York, New Haven e.
Hartford railroad and although the other
roads made fewer cuts in service, they
changed their schedules to give freight
transportation the preference.
Nearly normal service, consistent with
the new schedules. was possible on most
OF the lines, as result of the efforts
Of thousands Of railroad employees and
volunteers to dig out the anow-covered
freight yards and junction points on Sat
friday and yesterday. Several branch lines
were operated to-day for the first time
since last Wednesday and 1t was an
nounced that with a continuation Of
favorable weather. normal conditions
would be possible before the end OF the

to move the 1000 freight cars stalled in
yards and on sidings. The sending Of
these cars to their destinations will re-
move the danger Of the food shortage al
