PHONES Telephone and Telegraph Forum Organized to Obtain Fair Rates. TO. AID SUBSCRIBERS. ' They Will Be Welded Into a Force That Will Bring About Reductions, ‘While the revision of teleph. Yates in New York City drags lowe slowly before the Public Service Com- mission, a fresh movement on behalf pt overcharged subscribers has been dnaugurated. This has been launched Under direction of John D. Gluck, who has been prominent in numerous Public undertakings as director and | orwanizer. \\ The Telephone and Telegraph Forum, Inc., has been formed. Ita certificate of incorporation states that “its object is to cause reason. telephone and telegraph rates in city of New York and elsewhere.” _JThe incorporators are given as Mleaser A. Ely, John J. Wise, J. Lawrence GriMth, John D. Gluck, Charles L. Peabody, Lester L. Mayer, Samuel Blumgarten and William E. Fitch. “Our plan,” said Mr. Glyck, “is to @rganiso the telephone subscribers nd users of New York into a force that will effectively bring about re- quctions in rates. The up-State Pub- Me Service Commission, following nu- merous hearings, will either affirm the present rates or fix new ones. Following their decision, {t may be Years before we have another oppor- “tanity to successfully prosecute our enuse. “This Forum holds itself out as the Girect._representative of the sub- weribers of New York City. We have &@ set and concrete programme. Our bs goes straight to the mark, It not call for destruction and in the end it will prove as big a boon to telephone company as to telephone subscriber. *“Our plan is to create a general ampaign by a new, effective and @vonomic publicity system. Our @towan is, ‘A penny a call in your bor- Qush.’ And we can demonstrate even 4 the telephone company that it can money at @ penny a call. “Anybody may join the Forum free ‘ef cost. It is the people's forum, en- tirely supported by popular subscrip- mm. It rests entirely with the peo- whether or not the organization Pill be strong. It has engaged com- Petent legal, actuarial and investi- gation talent for services to the tele- subscriber. “I Imdorse the slogan of the Bell Welephone Company for ‘one policy, one system, universal service,’ but I maintain that the rates charged New ‘Yorkers are inequitable and unfair, I ggree with President Vail that the hone is one of the greatest gifts mankind and that the companies fonstitute one of the best main- tained and operated organizations in world, but the average Now rorker is made to pay too much for great difficulty In arriving at reasonable rate schedules is because the small army of actuaries employed by the New York Telephone Com- pany can quickly confuse and throw in the eyes of the average in- veatigator. I do not think figures, poles, copper wire, exchanges, inatru- ments and zones will confuse me or divert the aim of our organization. 41 am prepared to demonstrate the Feasonableness of our gemand. “Organization will be by Assembly @istricts and a start has been made In the Twenty-ninth of Manhattan. Headquarters have been established at No. 56 Enst Fifty-ninth street, members enrolled and petitions cir- culated.” In carrying out the slogan of “a may a call in your borough,” the Felephone Forum has proposed a re- Guced rate schedule unique in char- acter, It provides for a fixed annual charge of $0 per year for installa- tion and maintenance of a telephone and a charge of one cent for each call within the local zone area, with graded charges up to five cents per call for more distant zones, This would make the charge for a tele- phone in Manhattan or Brooklyn using 600 local calls per year $30 for in@tallation and $6 for calls. The total of $24 compares with the present charae of $48, less 10 per cent. re- duction. — Lung Tronble Yielded to This Medicine Tf you are suffering with serious dung trouble, it will nay to fully investigate ' a remedy whic! a follows: rd Ave. Phila.

CROWNED; RECEIVES AMERICAN CARDINALS Ceremony of Coronation Im- pressive, but Pomp Avoided Because of War. ROME, Sept. 7.—The coronation of Pope Benedict XV., which took place yesterday in the Sistine Chapel, was imposing in its solemnity. The Sistine Chapel was used in order to avoid pomp during the war. The en- tire Pontifical Court, members of the Roman aristocracy and the family of the Pontiff were present, ‘The entire armed corps of the Holy See saluted the passage of the pro- cession, which was formed in the Pope's apartments and then pro- ceeded to the Pauline Chapel, where the adoration of the Holy Sacrament was celebrated, In the procession were high dig- nitaries of the Papal Court, Patri- archs, Archbishops and Oriental Bishops. From the Pauline Chapel the pro- cession moved to the Sistine Chapel, where a mass was said. After the indulgentiam the sub-deacon placed the maniple on the arm of the Pope, who sat down while the Cardinals of the Diocese of Rome recited the coro- nation prayer. The Pope then mounted the altar and a Cardinal placed the pallium on his shoulders, At this moment Bene- dict XV. recelved the last adoration of the Cardinals, Bisnops and Abbes. ‘Then he read the Introit, intoned the Gloria and resumed his seat op the throne. The scene, with Pope Benedict seated in the sedia gestatoria preceded by the bearers of the Triple Crown and flanked by the bearers of the celebrated feather fans, and sixty Cardinals in their full vestments, was a striking one. When the ceremony ended, the Pope waa received with loud acclaim by those present. Later in the day Pope Benedict re- ceived successively in private audi- ence Cardinals Gibbons, Farley and O'Connell, who presented their suites Pontiff. seovhonatipomamaes PARCEL POST EXHIBITS.
