Ambassador Davis has been directed
to inquire of the British government
as to the extent of the oil pact, which
is reported to provide for a division
of world oil supplies between Great
Britain and France, and to inquire
whether the rights Of the United
States have been protected.
The United States will insist. upon
"an open door" policy with regard to
the world oil supply. 1t was sc<ongly
indicated by officials OF the State Se-
partment and will not permit any
nations to make an agreement which
might control the worlds oil pro-
duction.
Under the terms OF the agreement
between Great Britain and France as
reported here these two nst&ons have
agreed to cooperate In the develop

For instance, party in Oak Park
desired to talk to Garfield S2S3. By
mistake the party calling gave the
wrong exchange and was given Ked-
zie 1888 The party at Kedzie 1888
promptly answered and told the party
calling that they had the wrong ex-
change. Only a minutes time con-
sumed
Then the right exchange-Garfield
8283-was called for and the right
number, strange to say, came to the
phone at the first tap of the bell.
The Oak Park party received the
following toll bill on October 1:
Kedzie 1888, toll 55 cents, war tax
10 cents.
Garfield 1888, toll 10 cents.
This is plain, truthful sample of the
kind of toll expenses Chicago people
in the provinces pay to the Chicago
Telephone Company.
All tolls for telephone within twen-
ty miles of the Chicago City Hall,
should be abolished.
There are progressive and intelli-
gent men at the head of the Chicago
Telephone Company and they can
easily see that the abolition of tolls
will popularize their service and great
ly increase their receipts.

BRUNDAGE GIVES
TENANTS HOPE OF
new RENT LAWS

Action in behalf of tenants suffer
ing from the high rent situation is
possible at the next session of the
legislature in January, according to an
opinion given by Attorney General
Brundage. Leaders of tenants or
ganizatlons at once prepared to open
a campaign with members of the law
making body of the state.
'The general assembly might be
able to pass some valid measure in
mitigation of evils arising from what
is commonly known as rent profiteer-
ing" said Mr.. Brundage. sThe eff
feet of the anti-rent profteering act of
Wisconsin is practically to make the
renting of property a public utility
and to regulate and control it accord
ingly. No court so far as I can find,
has passed upon this as yet"
A number of additional custer pro
ceedings were filed against tenants by
landlords. Preparations to fight the
cases were made by practically all of
the defendants.
