THE CIRCULATION OF THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM JULY 10, 1906 A WARM FIGHT Rural Telephone Situation Causes the Patrons Much Uneasiness. THE INDEPENDENTS FIRM DON'T INTEND TO SERVE EATON AND CAMDEN COMPANIES UNLESS BELL COMPANY IS SHAKEN OFF. i - There is considerable uneasiness felt among patrons of theindependent telephone lines in Eaton and Camden over the tangle thit has resulted as a result of the effort of the Bell Telephone interests to invade that territory. The stand taken by the independents to cut off the Eaton and Camden exchanges if the Bell system is "tapped" means that there will be a hard fight and the fact that the Eaton and Camden companies have filed suit to enjoin the big independent lines from cutting off service, Indi cates that those two companies real ize that without their present service their patrons will be crippled for good service. The Independent Companies give as their reason, for the action taken, that if the Bell Company holds posses sion of the Camden and Eaton lines, telephone affairs will be resolved into a monopoly, just as they were supposed to be before the Independent companies entered the field, and the same prices would prevail as pre vailed previously. The Camden exchange carries 250 telephones and Eaton has about 400. The Bell Telephone Company, it is asserted, has one hundred telephones in that neighborhood, which, together with the recently acquired 'phones, makes a total of 750 for the latter company. The following companies have agreed to discontinue ther service wth Camden and Eaton; Preble County Telephone Co., College Corner Telephone Co., Lewiston Home Telephon Co., Richmond Independent Telephone Co., Dayton, Ohio, Home Tel ephone Co., Montgomery Telephone Co., United State Telephone Co., and Hamilton Home Telephone Co. , ACTORS TO PLAY BALL GAME SATURDAY MORNING Gennett Performers Challenge Those at the New Phillips to Baseball Contest to Take Place at Public School Grounds.
