Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce

This was true even during the period
when the Government was in possession
and 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 by
the United States Government the avail
able 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 eouipment
ana materials necessary to restore tila ia
cillties to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required hy
this Company to complete its 1920 con-
struction program, will equal 1,4OO car
loads OF freight, averaging 10000 pounds
to the car, hauled from different parts of
this country and delivered at hundreds of
places IN the five states in which the Com
pany operates. This is equal to thirtv-fve
trains Of an average Of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
ccnters Of the North and East ordinarily
were delivered within two or three weeks;
now much longer time is required
The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufacturer of telephone equip
Hent and materials in the world It has
representatives in all the markets of the
world. It buys it's raw materials in vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk of it's equip
nent and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent.
1t did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date tho
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance of the United States
Government. It thus held itself in readi-
ness to serve at it's maximum efficiency the
needs of the telephone industry in this
country.
1t has capacity for much larger out
put, but strikes, shortage Of productive la
Dor, lack Of fuel and shortage Of transpor-
tation, facilities affecting the securing Of
adequate raw materials-has curtailed its
output.
We have not relied entirely on the West
ern Electric Company, but have placed or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries Each manufac-
turer with whom we have placed orders is
confronted with the same problems in Sc
curing his supply OF raw materials
In the face Of all these difficulties the
manufacturers are turning out in excess Of
what was their normal output.

The Natchitoches enterprise., 1920-10-07

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; labor
and transportation, was adequate. AS a
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt.
From June, 1915, to April, 1917, (when
this country entered the war; prices aver
aged an advance of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intolerably slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
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
for 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 forei gn 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 lessencd the telephone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in industrial co,.terj which fur
nished the raw materials, and strikes and
cmbargoes on railroads essential to trans
portation OF both raw materials and the fin
ished 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,
heritage of productive labor, lack of fuel,
shortage Of transportation facilities and
embargoes affecting the sources Of raw ma
tcrials, 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
~ but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
ir 1917, the Government needs were, of
course, given precedence and only small
part Of the available raw materials manu-
factuled from that date until the signing
Of the arnlistice was allotted to telephone
companies.

Inventors Idea May Do Away With
the Old Practice Known as
"Heaving the Lead"
* 3 ! :: :s!:::: ::

An inventor in Oakland, CAL, has
found a new and practical use for
echoes, and as a result the time may
come when the practice of "heaying
the lead" at sea will be known only
In historical novels and old maritime
history. The marimeter, as the new
device is called, sends a sound from
the keel of the ship to the bottom OF
the sea; the sound comes back as an
echo, and the journey, automatically
recorded on a diaphragm, is translated
into terms of length. The report shows
the depth of water between keel and
bottom, calculated from the known
speed Of the sound-wave In salt water,
and the knowledge may be acquired at
the rate Of four soundings. a minute.
which is very much faster than by the
older methods. The marimeter, to be
sure, has only recently gone to sea.

will carry the first Of them, has yet
