Michigon-BeII Reports
Slump in Wartime Earnings
The Michigan Bell Telephone

The Michigan Bell Telephone
Company today reported a con-
tinued wartime slump in It's
earnings for 1914 in the face OF
the greatest volume of business
on record.
President George NJ. WEIGH
in his annual report, stated that
although the company took IN
sc per cent more money than IN
peacetime 1899, costs went up
faster than revenues, resulting
in a s750,000 decline in net IN
come.
NO WAR PROFIT
"We have not profited from
the war" Welch said. Neither
do we wish, nor expect TO.
The president reported net in
come of S9,265,000 against
s1O,O19,OOO for 1899 and $685.
600 for l943. Earnings repre-
sented a return of So per cent
on stockholders investment IN
the business, against IA per cent
in 1889 and ga per cent two

ROTAN, Tex.-WD-Mr. and
Mrs. John McCombs, parents of
Cpl. Laverne McCombs, who is
a prisoner of the Japanese, have
not heard from their son in more
than two years.
Recently, however, the Rotan
postmaster received the follow
ing letter addressed to Mrs. John
Cones, Rotan, Tex:
Postmaster: am not sure of
spelling. It sounds like the above
address. Please make every eff
fort to deliver.
Dear Mrs. Cones: Last week
while on a flight, l picked up
broadcast by Radio Tokyo on
which they played a recording
made by your son or husband
The notes I made are the only
record I have and said some
thing as follows: I'm in full

one from VERNE. (The corpor'

peacetime operations revealed
that expense of the company, in
Guiding taxes, were nearly dou-
bic prewar figures. Even with
out taxes, expenses were up 10
per cent. Payroll costs of S29,-
$1,000 more than doubled the
pre-war level, while taxes of
Sl5,647, 900 compared with So
088,000 in 1889.
CITE FACTORS
Pointing out that the Michi-
gan Bell, as an associated COM
pany in the Bell System, obtains
new capital through the sale OF
stock 10 the American Tele-
phone q Telegraph Company
and that AT & T, in turn, Sc
cures funds by selling It's own
securities on the open market,
the report emphasized that the
attractiveness Of such securities
depends largely upon the Amer
lean Company earnings on It's
investment in associated compa-
MES.
WEIGH cited an increasing
spread in recent years between
Bell System earnings and those
of other industries with which 1t
completes for capital. Today, he
said, the System earns one-thlrd
less than the average for other
industries and the Michigan
Bell about one-half less.
Michigan Bell must do its
full part in maintaining the
American Company's ability TO
sell its securities coun TT y
wide" Welch said. This treno
toward lower earnings must not
be permitted to continue or our
ability to obtain new capital,
necessary to assure good service
after the war, may be seriously
impaired"
WEAKNESS STRUCTURE
Noting the companys appear
from the s3,5OO,000 refund or
der of the Michigan Public
Service Commission, Welch SAID
that "because such whiting OF
our earnings weakens our aoll-
itv TO meet expected postwar
service demands, we were un-
der the strongest obligation TO
avail ourselves of our day IN
court. Our appeal, we believe,
is m the broad public interest.

Minus Hunt License

RALEIGH, N. c., Dec. 7-R-
John D. Findlay, State Commits
sioner of Game and Inland Fish
cries, reported today there were
295 convictions, in November of
hunting and fishing violations.
Eighty-seven arrests were on
Thanksgiving Day.
The figure compared with 269
in November, 1910; 221 in No
vember, 1871; 146 in November,
1912; $50 in November, 1913; and
l47 in November, 1914.
Findlay said that the increased
convictions were attributable to a
new policy whereby game and fish
protectors work in groups instead
OF individually, renewed interest
in the program, and more hunters
in the field.
