ILLINOIS BELL TEL. CO.

The telephone is part of modern
life. Indeed, we can scarcely i'm
aglne that business was ever con-
Quoted without its aid. Yet not many
years ago it was looked upon as
scientific toy and a few were brave
enough to dream of its possibilities as
business asset; it is truly the
miracle of commerce. Short though
itself into the fabric of our national
life until we would sooner part with
constitutional safeguards or vested
rights than to try to do business with
out the telephone at our elbow.
The object of this sketch is to show
that the Illinois Bell Telephone Co.
is owned and operated by men who
have shown their enterprise by invest
ing their capital and giving the citi-
zens of this community a telephone
service that has no superior any
where. Clear, distinct service, with
requisite connections, has been its
main object and aim from the begin
ming. 1t has helped the progress and
well-being of the city, and has been
foremost in mercantile. industrial and
residential circles. The Illinois Bell
Telephone Company has maintained
an exchange that is a real enterprise,
giving connections desired with the
growth of years, and in these ways
helping to build up the city.
The gentlemen connected with the
. company are representative business
men who have the best interests of
the city at heart, and who have been
constantly engaged in shaping the
policies of the telephone interests.
1t is such concerns as this that
should be encouraged by our people
as they have at all times held liberal
views or all questions pertaining to
our city's welfare and have always
been first 20 aid any movement that
has been undertaken for the better
ment of our city.
1t is with pleasure that we give this
worthy company prominent mention
in this Twin City Review of the prom
inent industries of Champaign.

indication that the press Is not nght'
The public should be made to real
ize that mine safety Is of the utmost
importance and that mine slaughter
is a disgrace to a civilized nation,
to the end that an irresistible demand
should arise for the end of killing
miners en- masse. In crystalllzing
this demand, organized labor must
take the lead, as it has taken the lead
in obtaining 50 many industrial re-
forms in the past.
Hope for betterment of the work
er's health is seen in plans for a
thorough study of hygienic conditions
in industry to be made by the Indus
trial Hygiene Division of the New
York State Labor Department.
That there is need for such study
is shown in the constant increase IN
the number of chemical substances
used in industry which are dangerous
to those who come in close contact
with them. These conditions bear a
decided relationship to output in
manufacture. which has been revealed
by recent scientific investigations of
general working conditions. such as
fatigue, ventilation and local tenn
perature.
While organized labor will watch
with sympathy every effort to improve
hygienic conditions in mine, mill and
factory, it knows that the best guar
antee of healthful working conditions
is strong organization of the workers.
Wherever working conditions are good
and pay is high, the toilers are organ
lied in efficient trade unions. This is
a fact that labor cannot emphasize
too often.
