Then came the fire on automobile row. It would have been an excellent opportunity to accept my Invitation, but since you failed to do this don't you think you are a trifle unju’t by writing an. other "slam" when you are totally ignorant of what occured in the exchan This fire, which started about 9:30 p. m., was soon vis thle to all parts of the city and as a result a “grand rush” was made to the telephones to call regarding tts location The bulk of the rush was borne by the night operators on duty from 10 p. m. to 7 a m. None of the evening operators could legally be held past their eight hours, and ae a result, the night operators were forced to shoulder the burden as best they could The size of the night force is based on the normal traffic at 10 p. m., the maximum of the whole night. Now be frank: wouldn't it be ridiculous to keep operators on hand all night to handle emer gencies that equal mid-day traffic, and yet so rarely occur? Where is the subscriber who would be willing to pay for such a waste of time? However Again you write a letter Dear and Chief, my such service ts not impossible, Auto. par switches will soon take the place of us operators, When central has said her last “Number, please,” you oan rest content that mechanical devices that do not have to eat and sleep will be on duty 24 hours per day, ready to handle as ble a load at 2a, m. as at 2 p.m. So “crab” about telephone mervice while you can, The old mare “ain't” got so long to live, but give her a Kick cause sho can’t go so fast as her sister, Tin Lizzy.
