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; labo
and transportation, was adequate. AS
result prices were low and deliverie.
prompt.
From June, 1916, to April, 1917, (wher
this country entered the war; prices aver.
aged an advance of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intoerably slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes arc
obtained from all parts of the world.
Platinum, used in switchboards came
from Russia
Silk, used in vast quantities for insulat-
ing wires comes from Japan.
Old manila rope, used in making paper
Tor 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 be-
low 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
cmbargoes on railroads essential to trans
portation of both raw materials and the fin
lshed products, are prime factors in the
present shortage in telephone materials and
facilities.
The factories of our suppliers have ca
pacity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage of productive labor, lack of fuel
shortage of transportation facilities and
embargoes 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 lass 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 sur
plus facilities and materials were gradual
ly but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
tr 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
The chronicle-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1920-1941, 1920-10-15

This was true even during the period
"hen the Government was in possession
ana control OF the telephone properties Of
this country
The greater part of the available tele-
phone equipment and materials was sent to
france, none of which was ever returned.
On August 1st, 1919, when the telephone
properties were returned to the owners bv
the United States Government, the avail
apie supply OF equipment and material was
so small and the needs of the telephone
companies in this country so great, that all
the telephone factories in the United States.
working day and night, could not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the IA
cllltles to the pre-war status.

THIS Company to complete its 1920 con-
structlon program, will equal 14OO car.

this country and delivered at hundreds Of

GOV COX'S CHARGES,

The sensational charge made by
Governor James Nj. Cox against tho
Republican managers relative t. tho
alleged attempt TO buy the prcsiden.
cy by the raising OF Il "slush fund"
o. iiitccn millions OF dollars threatens
u prove II verilablc boomerang in
,EiS campaign.
The evidence submitted by him con-
sists OF an official bulletin sent out
~ Il Subcommittee OF the National
i,cpubhcan Committee and gives only
statement OF the quota of money tho
principle cities or rather the Rcpub
lican population Of the respective cit
les arc expected TO raise.
The amount selected is about eight
million dollars and Governor Cox on
his own motion increases the amount
to fifteen million dollars. 1t is diff.
cult to understand how n gentleman
ti his high standing could stoop to
the level Of the average ward politi
clan III order to reach such conclu
sicn. On basis OF ten thousand dol
lars which is reasonable amount
lor the legitimate ,cXpcnse Of five
hundred congressional districts, not
including the senatorial allotmcnts
the total amount would be five mil.
non dollars. But the distinguished
ohloan ignores the fact that criticisms
nave been made, not so much rs 20
the amount Of money raised as it
has been relative to the source from
which it came. If the Republican
manaSors are raising this money by
popular subscription it is the work
u the people and not the effort Of
vested interests.
In the meantime, the Democratic
managers have the collection basket
going the rounds with no limit as to
tho amount to be contributed, while
the Republicans have limited the
amount to be subscribed or paid by
one individual to ! thousand dollars.
Tho Democratic collection plate is
being passed almost un-noticed while

GOV. CONS PREDICANIENT

Governor James NJ. Cox, has sue.
cecdod in placing himself in a most
embarrassing position relative to the
amount being raised for the Republic
can campaign. He charged that Il
'slush fund" OF fifteen million dol
lars was being raised to purchase the
presidency and when pressed for de-
finite information cited an official
bulletin sent out by the Republican
management in which the amount or
quotas assigned to various localities is
alleged to total eight million dollars
On his own motion, he multiplied this
amount by two and contcntcd himself
with charging that the Republicans
were out to raise fifteen millions Of
dollars for improper purposes.
lie is attempting to prove this by
the Republican campaign managers
themselves and inasmuch as he has
failed to do this, his plight before tho
country is now most embarrassing
We have not been able to see that tho
amount is excessive. The amount
needed for each congressional district
would exceed ten thousand dollars
for legitimate expenses. Counting four
hundred and thirty-fivc districts, this
would amount to only $4,35O,000. In
some districts the expense would be
mere than others.
The distinguished Ohioan has dc
cided to indulge in sensational
campaign. He wishes to hear tho
boys" yell, but he will not succeed
il. convincing the conservative Gle
ments, who care more 70" the rerna
nent welfare OF the country than
they do to see an ordinary politician

DIR. GRAHAM IN TIE LINTELIGhT.

The very able Rev. Dr.. w. F.
Graham has reached the ''parting OF
the ways" With the Philadelphia, Pa,
Christian Review. This is all the
moro remarkable In that he was one
OF the founders of that influential
publication, which has done so much
for Baptist principles and doctrines
in the State Of Pennsylvania. But ii
seems as though hostile interests to
the great cause that he is champion
ing have secured financial and edito"-
ial control of the Revicw and Dr..
Graham and his friends have been
forced to tho necessity Of launching up
On tho troubled sea of journalism
another journal, known as the Bapt
fst Defender.
1t claims to be the organ Of the Vlr'
ginia State Baptist Convention, Tho
Eastern Baptist Association, The Allie
ghcny General Convention, the
Pennsylvania State b. Y. p. u, and
the Sunday School Convention with
the very able Rev. DR.. w. T. Graham
as Editor in Chief. He has associated
with him thirty other editors. Ger.
tainly, he has enough organizations
behind this expensive publication to
guarantee it's success without any
advertising matter or paid subscrib
ers. Rev. DR.. Graham charges that
there are today preachers, WHO put
the world and their personal inter
ests and their solfishness far above
tie cause Of Christ. He charges that
there is man, who because he fails
to be elected to certain Office at
tempts to break up the Kingdom Of
God and tear down the Church.
Tt is becoming daily manifested
that our Baptist Denomination is
too loosely constructed and the very
freedom OF action and liberty OF
speech are becoming n source of weak
