The Burns Monument Committes met afternoon at 405 Montgomery number of enthusiastic gentlemen being present. Colin M. Boyd presided and briefly stated the object of the meeting, viz., to devise ways ai means of obtaining sufficient funds with which to erect in Golden Gate Park, this city, a monument to Scotland’s bard, Robert Burns—a monument which should | be alike an honor and a credit to San Francisco and its Scottish residents. Bince the preliminary meeting, held some | 1e ago, Secretary Y. C. Lawson had been in communication with various noted sculptors throughout the world and | presented to the meeting a number of de- | signs and photographs of rare merit whioh had been forwarded to bim from various | cities throughout the United States and | Europe.

HERE is a general impression that the telenhone system of San Franci-co is condacted in such way as to 1 a ances combined. Nobody blames fhe overworked girls who conduct the heilo department for the | thousands of delinquencies that daily give rise to passion and seductively tempt men of quiet demeanor to utter curses loud and deep, but there is a general feeling that there are grave abuses somewhere; ebuses in the management of the busi- ness, for tley are of a character not in- herent in the wires, iransmitters or bat- teries. | One of the most vexatiousand recurrent | of evils is the “party line,” a scheme that | wears out more phonographs and tempers | than all other defects combined. There are often from ten to twenty or more sub- scribers on one branch line, and ihis is so arranged that if any given subscriber of the entire company is using his telephone all oti:ers are sidecracked. The company atertains them, however, by having a | ghos:ly voice sing out again and again: | “Line is busy—cail again.” | 1t the subscriber waits with patience, | accepting the pbonograpvh’s oft-repeated | invitation to call again, he will be fortu- ber has not cut in abead of him, in which event he is sure of anovtner iilustration of the base uses to | which Edison’s great invention is put by the teiepuone company. I. has been noticed cy Baciazalupi that people who phones hear the phonograph so the day that they never patronizs the phonograph parlors. It bas been discovered that the phono- graphs in the telephone offices of the cit do not himit themselves to party lines, | but they often stroll over the wires of the | main lined and wail like perturbed spirits, | sometimes lving about the condition of telephones desired bv the anxious sub- scriber who has made the request, Many instances are reported of phonographic statements that would pat Anamas to shame. Lines have been reported as bury by the phonograph when ihey have been idle all day. Anotuer common cause of complaint among people who have frequent use of the telephones is that the central girls are | s0 bu: that they caunn answer calls p: There are many instances where it bas required irom five to fiiteen minutes to get attention. Tuere are cer- tain busy bours on all the lines when it is observer that there are not enouzh operators in the teleplione offices. The girls’ voices at such times beiray that they are rushed and overworkel, rattled and driven b:- yond endurance. They speak quickiv nervously inquiri Namber—number?” until the subscriber realizes that so many ind cators are dropping around tue poor bello girls thatl tuey scarcely Know whica way to look or whem nswer first.

The hello they are daily blamed, aund even cursed, for abuses in the system for which they are mo more ‘o be biamed than the com- | plaining subscriber, who is often rude enough to swear at them over the tele- | phone, or heartless enough to report them to the company. The slightest study of | the situation would show that the girls at times are so overworked that it is impos- sible for them to respond to the calls witn | promptness. : Compiaints concerning the telephone service are almosl universal, bui hundreds | of people are timid and loth to speak out or publication concerning their griev- Several CarL reporters have in- vestigated the state of tie public feeling the past week. From almost every patroa of | ihe company there came complaints. Some had great trouble :n getting any re- sposse from the telephone office, some seldom got anything save a serenade from the phonograph, while others found the girls asking again aud again, “Number, please,” as if the girl who first heard the | request had passed it to another and the second had forgotten it or passedittoa third. These things are said to occur when one branch of the service switches the subscriber to another, as when the main-iine girl turas the cail over to the southern or the western office. To prevent a rush of busiue-s beyond the capacity of 1he operators the company has switchboards, called ‘*‘overflow- " Jtis the purpose of this sys- tem to relieve giris who are working on boards where calls have piled up pevond Instances are frequent when the overflow switch operators are as hard pressed as those on tne main lines, showing beyond argument that the compeny has not enough servants to properiy transact even the normal adcquate provision for unusual rushes. Tie girls nearly all work ten hours at a streich, and at some of the offices there ars great abuses of authority by petty Toese are usually men. They are clothed with tae authority to fine the girls for trifling errors, such as are com- 8.

These penalties have some- times been enforced when girls were sick. | If there were a Tom Hood in San Fran- co, he would tind in some of the tele- phoue abusesa theme equal to that which inspired the immortal “Song of the Suire.” | From the very nature of the case, sub-) scribers to a service owned by a company | that has a monopoly of the telephore business, do not care 10 make complaints | in the public prints, fearing some sort of inconvenience from tae criticism.

I mistook four bells for tive one day, and when I removed the receiver 1 was insulted by some other | party who was talking to four bells. 1 have often determined to remove the teie- | phone, but 1t is a necessary adjunct to my business. 1 hopethe whole system will be cnarged and improved. . Gerdes, Druggist—Two ielephone iu uy place of zaused me considerable trouble, as it was difficult to getan answer from the central office, but nuw connections are made in fairiy good time, but the speaker is bard to hear at times, and the voice ms blurred.

We have no blame for the poor girl: for it. | It is a tine entertainment, hood say We can anda we have learned a They do all they can, but dre evicently overworked. We have most fault to find with the party lines. They are a nuis- ance, for 1t is often the case that we have to wait ten or fifteen minutes to get an an- swer. It seems very hard at times to ge: any reply from central, and this seems to be at a time of the day when people are ab ut to go to luucheon or dinner. If there were no pariy lines and if they nad more operators I think the evil would dis- appear. Mr. Porter of Porter, Sles. singer & Co.—We bave had cons.dera~ ble truutle in gettin: answers to our tele- phonecalis. There is sumething radically wrong in the system—just what it is it 1s A good overhauling of some sorc will be a godsend to the patrons. There do not seem to be enough girls to do the work. Will & Finck—We have no very ereut complaint, but it is evident that the all the work required of them. We do not want to complain if it is likely 1o get the girls in trouble. The greatest diffi- culty is in getting central during the busi- est hours of the dav. The Maze—We have hal a great deal of troubie with our telephone, but we nave decided that much of it has been due 10 overhead wires and the overworking of the system. It is evident that there are not enough girls on some of tne lines, or at ceriain times of the day. Itseems that more help would surely remedy some of the eviis. Nolan Bros.” Shoe Company— We do not want to antagonize ihe com- pany or get the poor giris in trouble, for they are probably doing all they can, but we have had a great deal of trounle with the partv line system, as well as in get- ing attention atall times at the central office. Gireen Bros.—There have been times when people stood here for twenty min- utes trying to zet central. The line would arpear dead, as if there was no electricity atloar. After a long time it would again b-gin to buzz with life and cent:al would ask what was wanted. This way have been caused by induction in some such wav as to buflls the skiil of the com- pany, but it is a piyv it the abuse cannot be cured. G. A.

Mr. G says this city has 19, phones, while Chicago, with times tne population, hss but New York nas but 16000, lu all these cities, he says, the cost of the serv.ce is greaier than here. “*We do not have more than a hundred | complaints a day,” said Mr. Glass, “and | this numoer is a reduction made since we | put some of the wires underground. It will not be long until the telephone poles | and overneaa wires will be & thing of the past. We are doing all we can to put the | 50 tele- | zesriy five 12,500, and the people whose messages have been sent to people not at the telephone. ““Take all these annovances, together with the fact that bad cons are often put in the machines, and the company would be plessed to dv away with the siots if it conid do so, but as the instrumen:s are put there for the public at t e lowest pos- sivle price we cannot avolish them. This enables us to give a cheaper service than any city in tne United States, and the service is betier also.
