‘PROTESTS GAIN

Small Exchange .Patrons Seek Improvements.

By UNITED PRESS Indiana patrons of’ small telephone exchanges have flooded the state public service commission with demands that service be improved. An all-time. record number -of petitions asking for investigation of service is on file in the commission offices. Tariff Examiner J. B. Bailey has 12 on his desk, and other commission representatives have four or five. > Mr. Bailey blames labor and material shortages, and more critical patrons who feel that there sheuld be an improvement in efficiency

10 Cases Are Handled

Mr. Bailey sald at least 14 other petitions for hearings on service efficiency probably would be filed within the next month. : He said the commission had acted in only 10 cases within the last year. Usually, Mr, Bailey said, the commission finds that the petitioners | had reason to complain of the serv{ice and orders improvements. One of the latest petitions, involving a major Indiana city, was filed this week by Valparaiso sub-

to action by the city chamber of commerce, demanded reduced rates and protested long delays and in-

There was a strike that year, but the little shop in which they. worked settled its labor difficulty in 24 hours. Mr. Kroll went’ back to work in the shop. Sidney Hillman did not. He turned to union activity and years later became head of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. Started as Organizer ‘ Mr. Kroll rose to be head of his local. Then he too quit cutting cloth and went into union werk as an organizer, He had come to the United States from London with his father, a tailor, at the age of They settled in Rochester, N. Y. Young Kroll quit high school to learn the cloth cutting trade shortly after his 16th birthday. Mr. Kroll joined the union and

He arrived Aug. 3, went to a union picnic and met Sarah Rabin, whom he later married. ‘ Rises In Union

For seven years he was organizer, trouble-shooter - and administrator for the union in Cincinnati, In 1926 he was elected manager of the joint board of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. ,Two years later Mr, Kroll became a member of the union's executive board. In 1938 he was elected vice president of the Ohio C.I, O. council, and four years later, president. Mr. Kroll is well liked in Cincinnati, and is regarded as a tough but fair bargainer. Mr. Kroll has headed the Ohio PAC which contributed much to the election of Gov. Frank Lausche in 1944. He says his policy is to “vote the man” but he has always been a registered Democrat.

This week, the hearing date was continued from July 30 to Aug. 20. Patrons of the Greene County Telephone Corp. will voice their complaints July 24 in a hearing at the Lyons school “building. Other petitions name the Millville Telephone Co., the Cross Plains Telephone Co., the Youngstown Telephone Co., the Citizens Telephone Co. of Cambridge City, the Ackers Telephone Co..of Wingate, the Hope Independent Telephone Co., the Fountain Telephone Corp. of Attica, the Midwest Utility Telephone Co, of Petersburg. ’ Service Changes Asked The Cross Plains hearing will be held Aug. 1 at Versailles and the Youngstown complaint Aug. 2 at Terre Haute. : Two other petitions, Mr. Bailey said, stem from dissatisfaction with services. In one, petitioners ask the right to switch service from the Orange Mutual Telephone Co. to

zens Indbpendent Telephone Co. In the other, the petition asks for a switch from a small co-operative to the Anderson exchange of the Indiana Bell Telephone*Co. Mr. Bailey said a hearing would be held late in August on the complaint of the St. Paul Civic club, which asked an investigation of service at the St. Pauf exchange of the Hope Independent Telephone Co.
