PHONE CRISIS NOT SETTLED Official Compares Troubles Wi“h Railroad’s. the clamor about the proper legislation for the preservation of the railroads after their return to their owner*,’' said Frank O. Cuppy of Lafayette, secretary of the Indiana Telephone association, today, “it should not be forgotten that all the telephone systems of the country, taken over bodily by the government during the war, were turned back on short notice Just a few months ago—and without any remedial legislation. The seriousness of the railroad situation can not be minimized, but the problems of the telephone companies are In their way just as serious.” Pointing out that “there are in this country several hundred thousand citizens with their money invested, In tcle- ' phone properties to an aggregate of over two billions of dollars,” Mr. Cuppy declared there are 300,000 persons employed and that about 60 cents out of every' dollar of the cost of running the average telephone system goes for wages. NO IMMUNITIES 1- ROM HIGH COSTS. “Those who are engaged In the telephone business are no more to the high cost of living than those in , other lines of work—and as it has cost IhWB more and more to live, their pay has had to go higher and higher. The ' equipment and material the companies must buy to keep up their plants has increased in cost from 30 to 300 per 5 c ent—an average of perhaps 75 to R* per cent for the things used most frequently. Sundry expenses have all Increased, too; they average around 60 per cent higher than in 1014. “It has been practically Impossible to keep the services up to the pre-war standards in most cases. The difficulty of obtaining labor and materials for .maintenance work during the war prevented many companies from maintaining their plants at the old standard. Every telephone company is going to need considerable money during the next

On October 8, 1918, Sergeant Alvin York and seven privates, advancing on a German position in the Argonne, faced an entire machine gun battalion. Official records show that York killed 20 Germans with his automatic pistol and rifle, captured 132 prisoners, and put 35 machine guns out of action. York received the highest American military, decoration—the Congressional Medal of Honor. Upon his return from France, the Tennessee Legislature commissioned him a Colonel, for life, on the Governor’s staff.

A Black-Draught Family To a reporter, who visited the York home, Colonel York authorized the publication of the following statement: “My mother has used in our family for years, Thedford’s BlackDraught for torpid liver, stomach trouble, headache and other troubles. We certainly can recommend it and gladly do so. “We use it constantly and call it our family medicine. My mother doesn’t think she could get along without it, and we, when children, dared not complain unless we wanted to be dosed with Thedford’s Black-Draught

year to bring its property back to the old standard of efficiency. INADEQUATE INCOME IMPAIRS SERVICE. “It will surprise the average citizen to learn that the increases In fxchan? rates hardly average 20 per cent since 1914. As no utility can manufacture even a reasonably satisfactory service when its income is inadequrte for the purpose, the public must look at both sides of the question. The telephone company is possessed of no magic power by which it can obtain present-day labor and meet present-day expenses 1 1 prewar prices. It is not a free agent. Its income is limited .by the rates it is allowed, by regulation of public authority, to charge for its services. When that rate Is too low, the service must inevi tably fall below the standard of efficiency needed and demanded by the American public. "Telephone service has become too valuable and too essential in our everyday life to,allow it to become impaired or less useful when usually so moderate an advance in the cost of the service to each user is all that is necessary to keep the business going and the service satisfactory, even in these days of the high cost of living.” Missionary to Tell of India Conditions Rev.
