Phone Rate Hike
Granted; Rebates
For Lost Service

News that telephone users
would receive credit on their
accounts due to the loss OF ser
vices due to the national strike,
and an announcement from the
Mississippi Public Service Com
mission in Jackson that the com
pany had been granted a rate
increase of approximately 10
percent of their gross revenues
in Mississippi, we're the major
developments on the telephone
front as the strike of telephone
workers rounded out its eleventh
day late Thursday when the
Chronicle-Star went to press.
According to late Associated
Press dispatches, there were nc
new developments in the strike
negotiations in Washington.
Hopes were expressed in union
quarters that some satisfactory
settlement could be reached be-
fore the strike entered its third
week on Monday. Secretary OF
Labor Schwellenbach has offer
ed to arbitrate a settlement 5ui
this has thus far been rejected
by both parties.
An advertisement carried by
the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company in this is
sue of the Chronicles Star states,
relative to the credits for loss
of service which it will be Civ
en- consumers: Since the dura-
ton Of the strike is not known
and the extent of the interrupt
ton of your local exchange ser
vice cannot be determined. it's
impossible at this time to say
just what adjustments will be
made"
The rate increase to Missis-
sippi users was granted Monday
according to an announcement by
the Public Service Commission
in Jackson.
The company's original appli-
cation asked for hikes that would
produce an increase of 1875 per-
cent in gross revenue. The in
was sought, the company
officials said, to offset higher
operating costs and TO improve
equipment. Commissioners G. M,
Morgan of Hattiesburg estimat
ed that the increases granted
amounted to about 40 percent
less than what had been sought
or amounting TO about rs per
cent

Site Is Offered
Formers To Sturt
Local Curb Market

Farmers and truck growers of
Jackson county have an oppor-
tunity of establishing a curb
market in Pascagoula through
the offer of rent-free site on
Market street adjacent to Lincoln
avenue by Edward p. Pond, A. j.
Franklin, county farm agent, said
this week.
Mr.. Franklin pointed out that
advantages of establishing such a
market would be the giving of
truck growers of the county a
central market for their produce.
A wholesale market could also
be established in conjunction with
the retail outlet which would
furnish retail merchants with
fresh produce and vegetables
grown in Jackson county.
A 96-foot shed is available on
the property which would be of
fered to the prospective market
free OF charge, Mr.. Pond said.
Ample room is also available for
expansion.
