THE APPEAL MADE 10 CONGRESS Tabular Statement of Rates Charged in Other Cities. PLANS OF ORGANIZATION —————————— The Subscriters’ Telephone Association receives encouragement every day, it is gaid, and the membership roll {s growing at a rapid rate. The responses to the cir- eulars addressed to patrons of the com- pary are most liberal, and each new mem- ber of the association promises his hearty support. That there is a determination of purpose can best be judged by the tone of scme of the letters. The committee appointed to draft meas- ures to be presented to Congress has pre- pared reports, which have-been forwarded to the Capitol. The association announces that it will not rest with the mere pre- sentation of these bills to Congress, but wiil use every honest endeavor to urge their importance upon those who can af- ford the relief sougat. The subcommittee of the Senate, in charge of H. R. bill 6897 has received from the subscribers’ association the following, which 1s proposed as a substitute for the provision of that bill so far as it relates to telephones: \ Provided, That from and after the pas- ge of this act it shall be unlawful for any person or any telepnone company doing business in the District of Columbia to charge or receive for the use of any tel- ephone more than the following rates per annum, namely: $0 for each telephone used in hotels or other places of business; $36 for each telephone used in residences, within a radius of one mile from the tele- pkone exchange; and for each additional mile beyond such radius a further charge per annum of $4 to places of business and $3 to residences; and any subscriber for the vse of any telephone at the maximum rates above specified shall be entitled to services not inferior to the best service now given by any telephone company in the District of Columbia. And provided also, That any person entitied to telephone service, his servants and the members of his immediate family, but no other person, sha!l have the right to use, without extra charge, any other telephone equipment, with the con- sent of the subscriber to the last-mentioned equipment; and any owner, operator, or other person who shail charge, or receive for the use of any telephone any sum in excess of the rates fixed by this act, or refuse to any person any privilege or right herein specitied, shall be deemed guilty ef a misdemeanor. and. on conviction, shall be fined, not to exceed $25.” Letter of Explanation. In @ letter accompanying the draft the association says the rates specified are the highest allowed anywhere where competi- tion with the Bell company has been estab- lirhed. The communication suggests that if the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone obliged to pay such excessive s alties and supplies that it can- not comply with the terms proposed, the following is proposed as an amendment to be added to the substitute, the purpose be- ing to allow another company or companies to come in and create competition: “Provided, further, that in the event that any company now doing telephone business in said District shall for thirty days from the passage of this ect neglect or refuse to ajust and fix its rates for telephone serv- ice in accordence with this act, then the said Commissioners nay in their discretion permit any other eompany or companies to use the streets, alieys, highways and public reservations for telephone purposes, and, r their supervision, to lay necessary juits and wires therein, and to erect ssary poles in alleys, on conditions that such company or compsnies shali charge nd receive for the unlimited use of their telephones only such rates as may be fixed by the said Commissioners, not to exceed the raies above specified. b “Provided, further, that before said com- pany shall ‘begin the construction of any plant or open any street, it shall file with the Commissioners of the District of Colum- bia its bond to them, with satisfactory sureties in the sum of $100,000, conditioned that it will restore the streets to their or- {ginal condition and will maintain its tele- phone service in full operation for a period of five years.” Reply to President Bryan. The communication to the subcommittee also contains among ether things the fol- lowing: “The statement upon the part of the Chesa- peake and Potomac Telephone Company that the rates in this city are as cheap as in other cities of this size in the Union is of no consequence, in view of the well- known fact that the local companies in all these cities are controlled by the American Bell Telephone Company, which controls the local company operating in this cit, In other words, when we appeal to the e: perience of other cities of this size we sim- ply appeal to the same company that es- tablish2s the rates here. In every city in the Union where competition has been es- tablished the competing company has give a service at a less rate.” igures furnished by a committee cf tha association shows some of the reductions made by the Bell company when com- petitors enter2d the field. They are as follows: Detroit, from $72 and $59 to $36 and $2 Augusta, Ga., from $65 to $30 and $25; Ro- anoke, $5 and $30 to $20 and $12; Rich- mond, $60 and $40 to $30 and $18; Savannah, $64 and $50 to $60 and $42. Other rates are given as follows: Cincinnati, $125 and $100, no comp:tition; Chillicothe, Ohio, home company, $24 and $18; Jacksonville, $36 and $24; New York, $240, new bill fixes rate at Cleveland, Ohio, $72 and $00; Toronto, Canada, $45 and $25. It is explained why no difficulty can exist in securing the service of competitive com- ny, as $20,000 capital is invested in tele- ss independent of the Bell, embracing 2,000 exchanges. There are also forty or more factories making supplies independent of the Bell. Without Visible Possessions. It is further asserted in the communica- tion to the Senate committee that the Bell company has no visible possessions other than its patent rights, and a statement is taken from the report of the bureau of la- bor statistics showing that from 1881 to 1896 dividends have been paid ranging from 6 per cent to 18 per cent. In conclusion, the association says: “If the local company pays as small a eividend as Mr. Bryan asserts, the royal- ties for patents owned by the Bell Tele- phone Company must Le enormous to en- able it to pay these dividends upon $26,000,- 000. The citizens of this District protest against paying these dividends upon pat- ‘3 many of which have long since ex- pired, when there are other companies op- erating under the new patents anxious to CASTORIA FOR Infants and Children.

The weather is generally fair along the Atlantic and gulf coasts and over most of the trans-Mississippi district. The temperature has fallen in the upper lake region, and has fallen in the north- west. It is decidedly colder in New Eng- land and over the Florida peninsula; else- where there has been but little change. Light snow, turning into rain, is probable in the Ohio Valley and lower lake region tonight and Wednesday morning, followed by clearing and colder weather. An in- creasing cloudiness, probably followed by light snow Wednesday night, is indi- cated for New England, eastern New York Pennsylvania. “The temperature will rise on the Atlantic coast and fall in the southwest.

The followirg letter was addressed to President Bryan yesterday, and his reply is awaited by the association: WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28, 1898. Samuel M. Bryan, president C. and P. Telephone Co., Dear Sir: We are informed that you suggested to the Senate appro- priation committee at a hearing before that committee today that you were entire- ly willing to waive any constitutional right your company might possess and throw open the books of the Chesapeake and Po- tomae Telephcne Company to examination. Believing you were entirely sincere in that offer, we write to ask if you will permit the expert accountant of our association to take from your books statements for the years 1892 to 1897, inclusive. We also request that you furnish us with such facts as we may require for a full and impartial investigation of this subject. Our understanding is that whenever there has been competition the Bell Company has uniformly reduced its rates. If corditiors exist in this District that make it impossible to furnish telephone service at as low a rate as it is furnished in other cities we should candidly recog- n‘ze them. All assure you that this com- munication is directed in an honest en- deavor to arrive at the true conditions underlying the subject in question. main, sir, yours very truly, ORREN G.
