MYERS, the genial Seattle manager for the Pacific States Tele- phone Co., dropped into The Star office late Monday afternoon chock- full of joy and enthusiasm. He had a dozen-page typewritten announce- ment with him about the first telephone conversation, held earlier in the aft- ernoon, between San Francisco and New York. We agreed with him that it was wonderful, all right, but we wanted to know what it was going to cost us to have a talk with the folks back East, now that they had the line up. Mr. Myers really didn’t know that, he said. It hadn’t been decided yet. But today we note that the Pacific company (alias the Bell telephone trust) hooked a’ man named Thompson for $20.65 for a three-minute talk from Frisco to Boston. The Bell company’s telephone rates are the public service scandal of the world. And th: cempany, apparently, isn’t going to let up any in view of this n>w coast-to-coast achievement. In Exrope it costs 20 cents to telephone 100 miles. In the United States it costs 60 cents. !n Europe it costs 46 cents to telephone 500 miles. In the United States it costs $3. The Bell company’s business telephone rate in many American higher than that of Berlin, London, Paris and Stock- holm combined. Personally, we think we'll continue to write letters to the old folks for a while yet at two cents per letter. COMEON, NOW! DALE TRIES IN BERLIN SAYS. WHOWANTSTO VAIN TO STOP.
