TELEPHONE SERVICE SCANDALOUS SEATTLE’S telephone service is out- rageously incompetent. In _ the present influenza emergency it is especially criminally negligent of the service it owes to the public. The present management of the Seattle telephone properties is guilty of collect- ing thousands of nickels in the pay- slots WITHOUT GIVING ANY SER- VICE. Central girls fail to answer. They mix the wires. They jumble numbers. Whether it is due to an in- adequate number of girls, or to a fail- ure to pay them sufficient wages, or to gross mismanagement, the results are the same. The Star believes it voices the sentiments of 100 per cent of the people of this city in demanding either an immediate betterment of conditions here—or the retirement of . the present management.
