Manager Driver Answers Request of
Telephone Operators

BOSTON, Feb. 10.-General Manager
Driver of the Telephone company yester-
day met committee representing the
New England council of telephone oper-
ators unions and gave them in writing Il
reply to their request OF a week ago. He
said in part:
Il have considered your letter of Feb
ruary LIST. in which you state that wages
and working conditions of telephone oper-
ators are inadequate, and ask me to
agree to the establishment of a publicly
constituted board of inquiry to consider
these matters.
II have taken time also to review the
whole matter of your earlier request for
more wages, shorter hours of work and
other notifications Of working conditions,
which, if granted would increase greatly
the cost Of telephone service to the New
England public 49,
s5Thcse considerations lead me to re-
affirm the statements contained in my
memorandum Of Dee II, that this is not
the time to increase wages or to modify
conditions of work which are unsurpassed

officially that no more money has been
paid or is due Great Britain
Another misunderstanding has arisen,
too, over the loans to Russia. Some
newspaper accounts have given the er-
ronpous impression that since the fall
of the Kerensky government the United
States paid out 100000 Of her own
money to one of the representatives of
the succeeding Rus ian regime. The
fact is that when Ii Kerensky govern
ment fell the liabilities of Russia were
in the neghbOrhood of 100000. 900
while her assets were about $4,000 600
The United States government prevailed
upon the bank which had the $4,000
600 not to pay out any of that money
if the department of state or treasury
interpoSed any objection. 1t came about
that several American contractors were
owed money by the Russian government.
Had the treasury department insisted
upon preventing any of the Russian
money from being paid out, several
American firms would have gone into
bankruptcy. Instead. the treasury ex-
pressed no objection when tine bank
which handled Russian funds paid up
wards of 5000. O0O to certain American
firms who had sold their goods to Rus
Sia prior To the fall of the KcreuSky gov
eminent. 1t was 100000 of Russian
assets that were paid out and not money
out of the American treasury. There
is much that is pUZZling about Ameri-
can Indebtedness t. Russia but careful
study of the way the treasury handled
foreign loans shows that the advancing
credits was largely ease Of protection
for American firms that had shipped
their goods to the European govern
