Fertig's Remarks Misquoted
Will Refuse 10 Pay Phone Rate
Unless Board Is UphcId

NJ. Maldwin Fertig, Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel said yesterday that he
had been misquoted in the report of
his argument in behalf Of the city
Tuesday, before Justice Lehman, in the
proceeding for an injunction to re-
strain the New York Telephone Com
pany from enforcing the 28 per cent
increase granted by the Public Service
Commission of the I'd Department.
In the newspaper reports Mr.. Fertig
was quoted as saying that as a private
user OF telephone he would refuse to
pay the increase in case the court up
held the order of the Public Service
Commission. The Official minutes of
the hearing show that the Assistant
District Attorney said that he would
refuse to pay the increased rate unless
the court upheld the Public Service
Commission.

CHAPTER XIV


In day when punched money, how
ever arrogant it may be, has been
taught to go sort of softly. the Hatch
people were careful not to make any
public announcement of the things
they were doing or going to do. But
bad news has wings Of it's own. Mr..
Norcross was still in the midst of his
mail dictatiOn to me the morning after
the bottom-all the different bottoms
fell out, when Mr.. Hornack came
bullying In.
whats all this fire-alarm that's
been sprung about a new elevator
trust?" he demanded, chewing on his
cigar as If it were something he were
trying to eat. Its all over town that
c. S. & w. has been secretly reorgan-
lied, with the Hatch crowd in control
I'm having a perfect cyclone of tele-
phone calls asking what, and how,
and why"
The boss reply ignored the details.
"We're in for it again." he announced
briefly. "The local companies couldn't
hold on to a good thing when they had
it. The stock has been swept up,

down to common, ordinary English
again he was saying, between cusses !:
But you can't let 1t stand at that.
Norcross; you simply can'tv
~ don't intend to-" was the even
toned rejoinder. But anything we
can do will always lack the element
of finality, Hornack, while Wall Street
owns us. I've said 1t hundred times
and I'll say 1t again: the only hope
for the public service corporation to-
day lies in distribution of its securi-
ties among the people it actually
serves"
Hornack's teeth met in the middle
Of the chewed cigar.
That's excellent logic-bully good
logic. if anybody should ask you! But
we're fighting a condition. not theory.
Nobody wants P. S. L. Common even
at thirty-twO. You wouldn't advise
your worst enemy to buy it at that
figure"
II don't know" said the boss, kind
of musingly You're forgetting the
water that's been put into 1t from time
to time by the spectators and reor-
ganizers; there has been a good deal
of that. first and last. Nevertheless,
value for value, you know, and know,
that the property is worth more than
thirty-two, including the bonds. What
l mean is that If anybody would buy
the control at that figure,-the con-
troll, mind you, and not merely a minor
ity-and handle the road purely as a
dlvidend-earning business proposition,
he wouldn't lose money; he'd make
money-a lot of it."
"All of which doesn't get us any
where in the present PINCH" returned
the traffic manager. II suppose Wen
have to wait until Hatch makes his
first move. and I've still got fight
enough left In me to hope that he'll
make it suddenly. Punch the button
for me If anything new develops. I'm
going back to swing on to my tele-
phone"
Following this talk with Hornack
there was a try-out with Billoughby
and Juneman, but as this three-cor-
nered conference was held in the pri-
vate room of the suite. l don't know
what was said. A little farther along,
when the boss was once more whiting
at the dictation, Mr.. Van Britt strolled
In. Mr.. Norcross told me to take my
bunch of notes to May and then he
gave Mr.. Van Britt his inning. start
ing off with: swell, how is the gen.
eral superintendent this fine morn
ing?"
Mr.. Van Britt wrinkled his nose.
"The general superintendent is
wondering, one more time, why under
the starry heavens he is out here in
this country that God has forgotten,
scrapping for a living on this one
horse railroad of yours when he might
be in good little old Naw York, liv-

first into little heaps, and then into
big ones, and now the Hatch people
have forced a practical consolidation"
as that the fact?-or only the way
you are doping it out?" queried the
traffic manager.
1T is the fact. Hatch came here
last night to tell me about it; also,
to tell me where we were to get off"
Hornack bit off piece Of the chewed
cigar and took a fresh hold on it.
"Does he think for one holy half
minute that we're going to sit down
quietly and let him undo all the good
work that's been done?" he rasped.
HE does-just that. He's putting
us in the nine-hole, Hornack, and up
to the present moment / haven't found
the way to climb out of it,"
"But the ground leases?" Hornack
began. "Why can't we pull them on
him?"
1--WE might, If we hadn't been shot
dead in our tracks by the very men
who ought to be backing us to win"
said the boss soberly. And then he
went on to tell about the new grip
Hatch had on us.
Of course, Hornack blew up at that,
and what he said wasn't for publica-
ton. For minute or so the air Of
the Office was blue. When he got

He wheeled quickly, and what he
said made me feel as if cold wind
were blowing up the back of my neck,
because l hadn't dreamed that he

"Of course. It's all in the days
work. Any cause worth while is vast
ly bigger than any man who is trying
to advance it."
"Than any man, yes; but for a
woman. Graham; wouldn't you allow
something for the womanT
II thought we had agreed long ago
that there is no double standard, either
in morals or ethics-one thing for the
man and another for the woman. That
Is your own attitude, isn't it?"
She didn't say whether it was or
not. She was holding the bit of paper
he had given her so that the light
from the fire fell upon it when she
said: II suppose your duty is quite
clear. In the slang of the street, you
must beat Mr.. Hatch to it, You must
be the first to denounce this bribery,
clearing yourself and letting the ak
fall where it will"
The boss was shaking his head
bit doubtfully.
1T isn't quite so simple as that"
he objected. 81 don't know that I'd
have any computations about sending
Collingwood to the dump If the half
of what they say of him is true, he
is a spineless degenerate and hardly
worth saving. But to do as. you Sug-
gest would be open rebellion, you
know; while Dunton remains presi-
dent, I am his subordinate, and If /
should expose him and his nephew,
the situation here would become sim
ply impossible"
"Well?" she prompted.
"Such move would rightly and
properly bring a wire demand for my
resignation, of a nature that couldn't
be ignored-only it wouldn't, because
l should anticipate it by resigning
first That is small matter, intro
ducing the personal element. But the
results to others; to the men Of my
staff and the rank and file, and to the
public. which, as you say, is just be-
ginning to realize some of the bene-
fits of a real partnership with its
principal railroad; these things can't
be so easily ignored"

expedient?"

He was on his feet now and tramp
ing back and forth on the hearth rug.
At one of this back-turningS l saw
Mrs. Sheila reach out quickly and lay
the bit of paper with it's accusing
scrawl On the glowing Goals. Then she
said, quite calm again:
