PHONE CO. ASKS U.S.. TO
PAY FOR WAR central"
Wants War Dept. TO Pay Back
100000. Net Outlay on 5000
Phone Switchboard.

The big War Department telephone
switchb board through which millions
of war messages were flashed is the
subject of a hearing yesterday
before the Board of Contract Adjust
ments of the War Department. Room
1057-c in the War Trade Board Build
ing. The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company is asking that
the War Department pay back to tho
treasury of the company about $500
900 representing the net outlay on the
big board, The company is repre-
scented at the hearing by c. T. Ciagett
division manager; c. w. Artz, counsel,
and w. 3. Clarkson, general CONNER
cial superintendent.
The Board of Contract Adjustments
was told that when the war started
and the necessity for a sudden and
complete revision of the War De
partment telephone facilities was APP
parent, the telephone company set up
an enormous central" for the War
Department costing 100000 and hav-
ing nearly 5000 instruments. There
is no specific contract for the work;
but the telephone company maintain
that the circumstances were such as
to constitute an implied contract with
the War Department. Consequently
the telephone company is asking to
he reimbursed. The board was told
today that all Government offices
where extensive telephone facilities
were installed during the war, which
have been removd, have paid the tclc-
phone company's expenses or have
contracted to do so.
The 100000 being asked by the
telephone company represents the cost
of the original installation less sal
wage, a considerable part of the War
Department board having been sold
to a Pennsylvania company. Telephone
t officials here said today that the
policy of the Government to reim-
burse the company for charges OF
this character had worked to the
advantage of the public i'm that no
burden for such OUTLAWS rested upon
the general telephone using commun-
ity, but that the Government had
maintained it's entire telephone load.

RESERVE
B0ARDATTACKED
Congressman King Says r.
nancing Spectators Is Keep
ing Living Cost High.

Unless the federal reserve board
stops financing spectators and hoard
ers OF foodstuffs and other neeessl-
ties OF life. Congress should pass an
act prohibiting the further issuance
OF federal reserve notes" Congress
man King. Illinois, said yesterday.
King is urging an investigation or
the board by the House Rules Com
mittee.
The only method OF bringing down
the excessive cost of necessities OF
life Is TO halt the financing OF spec
ulators," Mr.. King continued. 1T
is futile to prosecute for boarding
sugar when the Government can re-
fuse. through the federal reserve. to
finance the deal and thus make the
holding OF the sugar impossible. :
Raising the DISCOUNT rates on loans
viii not aid because borrowers rap
idly accustom themselves to the ad-
vance, shove the margin OF their
profit forward. and the cost of Nv
ing advances correspondingly. Liqui-
dalton of lonas, on which our present
federal reserve currency Is based,
will reduce the amount OF currency
In circulation, reduce the debasement
OF our money, and bring lower prices.
III Congress passed an act prohiby
ting the federal reserve from further
issuance OF currency. further loans
to spectators would be impossible
and prices of necessities would stop
advancing.
IT am glad to see that Governor
Harding has awakened to the serious
ness of the situation and acknowl-
edged in a statement yesterday that
his own administration of the Fed
eral reserve act was one of the chief
causes OF the high prices prevailing
today.
There ought to be positive pro-
vision in the law prohibiting any
Federal Reserve Bank from issuing
any currency based upon speculative
loans in the necessities of life"
