COTTON LOSES ON

New York, Oct. Embarrassing nerv-

general list closed steady, although

NORTH CAROLINA
STATE BEATS ''U'
University Was Out Played in Every
Feature Except Punting.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 2t.-The North
Carolina state college today defeated
the University Of North Carolina in
football for the first time in the his
tory of the two institutions, winning
by the score Of 10 to g. The game
was played on the largest day of the
North Carolina state fair and was wit
messed by over 5000 people, the larg-
est crowd that ever saw a football
game in North Carolina. Though out
playing state college through the first
half, Carolina had only one opportu-
nifty for a touchdown, losing posses
sion of the ball through a tumble on
states t0-yard line in the first quarter
The university was close enough to
try a field goal in each of the first
two quarters, and Lowe sent the ball
squarely through the uprights on his
first effort
State college came back strong in the
second half, scoring one touchdown in
the third quarter and another in the
fourth
The feature of the game was the
broken field running of Faucette, OF
state college, who made two sensation
al dashes of 40 and 30 yards, respec-
lively. Gurley and Johnson were also
consistent gamers for state, while
Lowe was the outstanding star for the
university. Lowe outpunted Murray
and Park, but with that exception state
college excelled in every department
of the game.
Carolina showed excellent forward
pass formations. but the receiving end
was weak and pass after pass failed
that could have been easily caught.

Until they do we must pay the

Electric Power and Light; Street
Car Fare.
We spend many thousands of dol
lars every year for these services
rendered to employees engaged In
the maintenance Of the property
Practically every year the rates
charged by these companies have
been substantially increased, and
there is no thought of any reduc-
ton. The Telephone Company, like
all others. mbust pay these in
creased rates.
Paper, Printing and Stationery.
We consume tons of paper for
book keeping, correspondence and
directory purposes. and pay many
thousands of dollars for printing
increased in percentage more than
the others, and no one has sug
gested that any reduction in thcs
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
ry 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
may be destroyed by fire. and this
is reflected in very large increase
in the total insurance bill.
Taxes.
This expense, both Federal, State,
County and City, has increased
every year we have been in bust
ness; the increase this year being
unusually high. There is no prob
ability Of this expense being re-
duced.
We do not pay any excess profit
tax because we have never earned
enough to be subject to that tax
Buildings.
It is common knowledge that the
cost of erecting any kind Of build
ing now. as well as making aItera-
lions and repairs, which constantly
confront the Telephone Company
and which involve material, labor,
freight and hauling. is on an enor-
mously higher plane than ever be-
fore. Insofar as the cost of mate
rails may be reduced will this total
cost be reduced.
The only way we can furnish ade-
quate facilities for your use from
year TO year is by constructing the
buildings in which 10 house the cen
trail office apparatus in the larger
centers; as well as enlarging exist
ing buildings TO serve the increased
needs. and this work must be car
ried on from year 10 year without
delay. This involves hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars in expense to
the Company.
There are. Of course, many other
items of expense. all OF which ire

Until these necessary costs Of
operation are materially reduced we

We have carefully studied and
analysed the advertised reduction

upon articles Of which we make but
little, II any, use. Applied 20 the
telephone business all known re-
duction in prices would not reduce

service one twentieth Of one per

This is many times offset b. the
increase in wages which, in many
places, we must make during the
current year.

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 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
ton of the telephone plant.
The following classes of expenses
constitute more than ninety five
per cent of the cost Of furnishing
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 being
for executive and general salaries.
The wages paid to oar employees
can not, and should not, be reduced.
On the contrary they must be in
creased. in many cases, to bring our
wage scale on a level with wages
paid by unreguiated business, so
that we may retain our skilled en-
ployees necessary to give you eff
cient 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 a 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 MAJ
rial have orders booked for two
years In advance. with a constantly
increasing demand, and which in
turn makes a reduction in price in
the near future most imp. obable.
Freight and Passenger Costs.
Our annual expense for the trans
portation of freight and passengers
is more than one million do,larE
No one expects the railroads 70 re-
duce their charges under the level
OF costs in rendering their service.
Rent.
Except in the larger cent srs our
central offices and stocks Of ma
terial are housed in rental build
ings. and even In he 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 bin 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
