“The Georgian For the People”—
“The Georgian is the only paper in Atlanta which will stand up for the
rights of the people,” said Rev. 0. A. Ridley, at the Baptist Tabernacle, Sunday
night. "Read what it says about the Bell telephone, its service and its treatment
of the public. ’
“Have you read that first page editorial of Saturday? If you have not, then
read it. The Georgian is standing up for the people.”
This was Mr. Ridley’s prelude to his sermon to the union telegraph opera
tors Sunday night. He spoke to more than 2,500 persons, many of whom were
union telegraphers, to Whom the sermon was particularly addressed.
RECONSIDER ACTION
ON BELL ’PHONE
Continued from Page One.
Longlno express dissatisfaction with
the service.
Alderman Qullllan—"It Is little short
of miserable." •
Councilman Ldnglno—“Awful! just
awful—that's all."
Councilman Martin—"Anything but
prompt."
None of the members of council
seem to regard seriously any claim the
Southern Bell may make or has made to
a perpetual franchise. The city attorney
has held that the franchise could not
possibly extend beyond the time limit
of Its charter, whlqfe expires In 1829.
Alderman Key, who registered the
first complaint against the terms ot the
franchise, and succeeded In having the
aldermanlc board postpone action, be
lieves It expires at the will of council.
“Why So Anxious Now7"
"If the franchise does not expire for
twenty years." he asks, "why does the
company appear so anxious to get u
new franchise right now?"
It Is pointed out that If the franchise
does last until 1929, It would still be
a poor trade for the city. For the first
ten years, the city would get nothing
In addition to what Is paid In ns ad
valorem taxes, and for the remaining
twenty-three years only 1 per cent of
the gross receipts minus about two-
thirds—that Is, minus the franchise tax,
the business licenses, specific registra
tion fees and other minor charges.
The city, for the first ton years, would
get 32,009—one-half of 1 per cent of
the gross receipts of 1400,000—minus
the franchise tax of about 11,900, and
the business license of 8300 and sev
eral other deductions, which would
make a total minus quantity of about
1500.
For the remaining twenty-three
years, tho city would get 84.000—1 per
cent of the gross receipts of 1400,000—
minus these same deductions of about
82,500, which would leave 81,500.
Nothing for each year of the first
ten years and but 81,5,00 for each year
of the remaining twenty-three years.
This Is what the city would get from
the Southern Bell, according to the
franchise as It now stands. It Is hard,
ly probable that .council, upon recon
sideration, will again pass this Iran
chise.
While council Is at It. It Is possible
that arrangements will be made for
municipal supervision of the service In
order to Insure some Improvement, and
for the fixing of a maximum rate to
patrons, In order to protect the people
from a raise In case of no competition.
WILLYLLliSKV
IN SPITE OP L,
Distilling Finn Says It Has
a Plan To Do It
“Legally.”
WHAT TELEPHONE USERS
SAY ABOUT THE SERVICE
Georgia whisky dealer* are being
bombarded with circular letters by a
Cincinnati distilling company, and If
what these letters say Is true, Georgia
la hot going to be as dry as Is gen
erally supposed.
Tills letter makes a request for the
saloon keepers' trade until January L
1908, and agrees to take back all unsold
stuff.
But It la the last paragraph of the
lettfcr which Is Interesting. It says this
particular distilling outfit has a plan
whereby the saloon man may keep on
selling whisky and not violate the law.
This Is wlmt tho letter says:
“We Have a plan which will enable
you not only to continue your present
Income after January 1, 1908, but triple
it if you have a loaat bit of energy,
ability and application. Wo do not care
to make it ganerally known, but if you
are at all interested wa will giva you
full particulare whereby yog can eon-
tlnue In a legitimate, legal manner to
call goods without risk to yourso va«,
or your cuitomorf. ' Writ® us for these
details and you will hear from ua
promptly.
“In tho meantime, we want your or
ders under our guarantee that wa will
taka back all of our unsold goods by
January 1, 1908.
“May we hear from you?"
How this Cincinnati house Is going
i have Georgia raloon keepers sell
whisky after January 1 and not break
into the chalngang Is a mystery. \
BARNESVILLE TANK

The Ibirnesvllle dispensary will not con
tinue to do business In the old stand, H.
Grahfelder fc Co., the Lonlsvllle distillers,
9 the contrary notwithstanding.
Judge David I). Hhrlby, of the Federal
court, nt llnntsvllle, Ala., tins denied the
nnnllrntlon of IJrabfelder *'On. for an In
junction, restraining the city of Harnesvllle
from dispensing with Hie dlspemwry.
The papers In the ease reached the led*
oral court In Atlanta on Monday. Gra s
feldcr & Co. loaned the city of Harnesvllle
till 000. mid later the dispensary was voted
Jilt Of business. The distillers then sought
,to have the dispensary eontlnue In opera
tion until the atnte prohibition law put It
"of business, but their first attempt has
i nngutwMful.

Atlanta business men nre far from
being satisfied with the service given
by the Southern Hell Telephone Com
pany. The complaints which they have
been making for months, to ‘Ventral"
girls, to “trouble" and to "Information,”
have received little attention, and
many of them have welcomed an op
portunity to make a complaint that will
be heard at last. To The Georgian they
freely express their dissatisfaction, nnd
many of them bear out their protests
with the details of specific Instances
where trouble arose. '
That It Is Impossible to get an
answer from "central" without unnec
essary delay, that the. subscriber fre
quently gels the wrong number, that
he Is cut oft In the middle of Ills con
versation. that the girls ond /the of
ficials pay little or no attention to
complaints, Is stated by a number of
patrons whose patience has been tried
to the breaking point. Some of them
have contented themselvea with “blow
ing off ateam" by swenrlng at the Inof
fensive looking Instrument on tholr
desks, while others have complained
to the company. The effect seems to
have been as satisfactory • In one In
stance as the other:
What Subscribers Say.
Here Is what some of the Atlanta
telephone users have to say, their re
marks boiled down:
8eys Will Sue Company.
C. S. Allen, a well-known machinery
agent, had an experience with the Bell
Telephone Company Saturday night
which he says has convinced him that
no telephone nt all Is almost as good
as one with the service the Bell Com
pany Is giving at present. He-sald:
"1 put In n call for a party In Dal
ton enijy In the afternoon, to be called
at 7 o’clock. ■ When 7 o'clock came
I found that no effdrt had been made
to get the man I wanted. I tried to
find out the tfouble over the 'phone
but each person I talked to referred
me to someone else. It got so bad that
I went to the telephone building on
Pryor street.
“There was a young lady sitting at
a 'phone and she said she was the
manager. I started to make my com
plaint when a young man got up und
said he was the manager. I asked
him If he was sure that he was the
biggest thing In the office and he said
he was. I told him my trouble und as
a reason he said that the line to Dal
ton wns not a commercial line. He
did not know why I had not been noti
fied that it was Impossible to get
my number. Moreover, he did not seem
to rare.
l‘T expect to aue the company for
loss In a business way."
“Fault of Woman,”
A wdl-known Forrest avenue man
who usks that his name be not pub
lished, places a part of the blame on
lengthy conversations on trivial sub
jects over the 'phone. He writes:
To the Editor of Tho Georgian:
Your" article In the Saturday night’s
Issue of your valuable paper comes
none too soon, nnd I have no doubt hut
that all subscribers and users of the
Bell 'phone In this city will heartily
commend your position on the matter,
as does the writer.
But. In nil fairness to the other side,
cannot something be said In explana
tion of the "poorest service ever Im
posed on a generous paying public 7”
How about tho time consumed by
the ladles of our households' (from 20
minutes to three-quarter* of on hour)
In “visiting” over the phone with some
friend, usually In purely social mntters,
the cut of the last dress and possibly
u small- roast for some mutual friend,
but no matter what the character of
the conversation may be, ts It not true
that herein lies much of the trouble,
when one want* to "call up” some one
and Is answered “busy.”
But would this thing be permitted
elsewhere than In Atlanta? I think
not, nor can tt be said that the man
agement here arc not at fuult In al
lowing these conditions, to which I
have referred, to continue, as they
must know that what Is herein stated
Is true. '
In my opinion, any action on tha
part of the management of the Bell
Company to correct this evil, will re
sult in greatly Improved service.
“VINDEX."
From a Big Firm.
The following Is from a well known
firm:
To the Editor of The Georgian:
W# heartily Indorse your double-
header on (he front page In reference
to the telephone. (Jf all the poor serv
ice we have ever had, we are getting
It now. Yours truly,
ERNEST L. RHODES A CO.
J. N. Ooddard. Conklin Tin Plate A
Metal Company—"The ’phone service
In the office Is very good. The serv
ice on the North exchange Is not so
satisfactory."
B. C. Broyles, local manager White-
head & Hoag Company—“Our tele
phone service Is very good, with the
exception of a little slowness occa
sionally.”
C. S. Matthews, Matthews & Hill,
real estate and Insurance—“We do not
consider our telephone service satis
factory at all. We experience long
waits, sometimes from fifteen to twenty
minutes, and then after we have gotten
a number, kick over a few chairs and
swear a little, we are frequently cut
off. 1 recently purchased a house with
a telephone In it and when some friends
tried to call up my wife they were
told that the ’phone had been taken out
for non-payment of duee. The 'phone
was still In the house and had been
paid for.”
W. J. Wiley, New York Life Insu-
Ace Company—“Service unsatisfac
tory. Trouble In getting numbers.”
W, M. Francis, inspector Hartford
Steant Boiler Insurance Company—
Our telephone service It reasonably
good.”
Held Up His Check.
C. C. McGehee. Jr., Southern manager
Home Life Insurance Compeny—“My
telephone service Is rotten and I don’t
mind saying so. I have recently held
up my check because the company has
failed to repair the service. The North
exchange Is rotten and the main trouble
Is long wait*.”
M. B. Young, Manhattan Lite In
surance Company—“It la a bad time for
me to expree* my views on the ques
tion. 1 have just spent ten or fifteen
minutes trying to get the central of
fice and after I got it I was given
the same wrong number twice."
“I'd hate to tell you what I think of
the service given me at my residence
by the Bell Telephone Company," said
Colonel M. L. Covington of the United
States district attorney's office. “The
service Is abomtnnble, and notwith
standing doxens of kicks I have made, It
gets no better."
8eries of Troubles.
A Georgian reporter witnessed tho
troubles of a few Atlunta people on
Monday who are at the mercy of the
Bell Company. One of the scenes was
witnessed In the ofllce of Sec
retary Frank Weldon of the Georgia
State Fair. Mr. Weldon’s assistant
proceeded to wear out the hook on the
’phone and he Indulged In this temper-
destroying pastime for several minutes.
It was the same way In the city ticket
office of the Seaboard Air Line. The
nume story was told all down the line—
on exasperating wait to get attention
nnd then In many cases tho wrong
number afterward.
In Candler Building.
The following expresselons come
from office occupants In the Candler
building:
G. W. Stewart, architect—The service
to Kirkwood through the Decatur ex
change Is exceedingly bnd. The de
lays are long and annoying. The serv
ice In the city Is better.
R. N. Reed. Gulf Refining Oil Com
pany: Speaking through the north
exchange the service of the Bell Is
miserable. It’s dollars to doughnuts
you get several wrong numbers before
you get the proper connections.
J. A. Rnsbury, Mnnager Anderson
Real Estate Company: The service
has been growing worse nnd worse and
something should be done. I heartly
approve of the stand taken by The
Georgian and hope It will win.
Edward H. Carman: The service Is
by no means whnt It should be. Of
course I do not know what the trou
ble Is.
Kdwdrd E. Dougherty, architect:
There must be something radically
wrong for the service Is poor. You
can put me down as a kicker. I am
glad to see The Georgian has taken up
the fight.
Wade Harding, President Atlanta
Typographical Union: l have no Bell
telephone In my office, but the service
I fiet at my residence Is poor. The
connections are bad and the operators
slow In answering. I heartily approve
of the stand taken by The Georgian
on the franchtsc proposition and fur
better service."
"Yes, I get good service,” said one
man who declined to have his name
used, "but I will tell you how It hap
pens. Some time ago our service was
miserable. I complained, but It seem
ed to do no gooi.. It got so bad that
I refused to pay my phone rent and
the company sued me. Then I sued
them and we compromised on 8160 for
me. Since then I have been getting
much better service."
In Empire Building.
From the occupants of offices tn the
Empire building came the following ex
pressions:
V. A. Moore, Southern agent for Iron
and steel dealers—"We nre at the
mercy of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, and I am afraid to say any
thing."
Edward O. Richardson, of the Mead-
or-Rlehardson Company, electrical
supplies—“The telephone service at my
office and at my home Is entirely un
satisfactory. My office Is called fre-
quently during the day and 7 out of 10
calls are for some other office. At
home I frequently wait five minutes for
’’central," and at the office It Is some
times almost as bad. Talk about re
newing the franchise! They should be
compelled to give better service first.’’
W. M. Stearns, Ft. Wayne Electrical
Works—“The service ts rotten. The
phone frequently refuses to work and I
have trouble getting "central."
W. E. Cainpc, lumber dealer—"The
service Is very poor. They do not re-
ply to complaints, nnd we have trouble
In getting right numbers. I suppose
this must result from Incompetent op
erators. I know Mr. Roberts, the man
ager, personally, but I must say that
our telephone service Is anything but
satisfactory."
W. L. Reynolds. German-Apierlcan
Insurance Company—"We have not ex
perienced nny great amount of trouble
with our ’phone Service, and have no
complaint to moke."
North Exchange ‘‘Rotten.”
Manager T. S. Kenan, Gate City Oil
Mill—"our telephone service In the of
fice Is bad. We experience long waits
and get wrong numbers. The service
on the North exchange la simply abso
lutely rotten."
Louts Fox. of the American Salvage
Company—“I have only- been here
shout one week, and have had no
trouble with the service, so far."
E. H. Stout, 28 Cooper street—"The
phone In my home causes me no tittle
trouble. It Is sometimes Impossible to
get the central office without very long
watts.’’
Edward Johnson, of the American
Chemical Mining Company — "The
'phone In the office Is up to the aver
age, but the 'phone at our plant was
unsatisfactory, and we took tt out. I
have heard numbers ot complaints
from residents.”

MINISTER SPEAKS
TD WISHERS
Rev. C. A. Ridley Roasts the
Telegraph Companies
in Sermon.
Sympathy for the striking commer
cial telegraphers and roasts for the
telegraph companies marked the pre
lude to a sermon delivered Sunday
night In the Baptist Tabernacle by Rev.
C. E. Ridley to the strikers.
About 200 of the strikers attended the
service* at the Tabernacle on tho In
vitation of Rev. E. H. Peacock, Dr.
Broughton's assistant, and they were
extended a hearty welcome.
Mr. Ridley briefly reviewed the atrlkc
situation and complimented the strikers
for the manner In which they had han
dled themselvea and the strike and ha
highly complimented the public state
ment made'by them.
What la back of all this?" usked Mr.
Ridley.
"The answer Is that the great tele
graph combine ha* treated Ita teleg
raphers the same us It has treated the
public In the peat. The combine has
given the public poor eervlce In ex
change for exorbitant rates and has
paid Ha empioycea poqr salaries for
exorbitant demands on them for long
hours and rapid work.”
In conclusion Dr. Ridley urged upon
the strikers to stand firm and never
surrender their Ideal of manhood and
womanhood.
“Go Into some other business before
you go back without a settlement, for
this Is a holy warfare. Bet your foot
down like Daniel, for you have pur
posed In your heart to succeed.”
Strikers Are Confidant.
At the meeting of the strikers Mon
day morning reports and messages were
received from other cities and all wen-
reported as standing .firm. All the
strikers nre now wearing badges la
beled ’’Stick,” and they declare that
they are standing together like a rock.
It was claimed by the strikers that
among the business houses greatly
handicapped by the strike, were the
branches In Atlanta of the big Western
packing house*. Tli.y say the packers
can not tell where cars are en route and
that It 1* Impossible for them to wire
orders for ro-lclng the car*.
The strikers claim that two of the
Western Union’s worker* tried to
square themselves with the union and
that their overtures were not consld-

ation ts taken Monday by General Su-

will Induce many of their employeeo to
return to work.
The men say, however, that the com
pany must sign an agreement to fur
nish machines to all operators who are
required to use them, a* well as grant
ing fifteen per cent Increase In salary.
Danle) L. Russetl, chief of the
strategy board of the striking telegra
phers, was prepared with counsel and
witnesses today to appear before At
torney General Jarkson and nsk that
action be Instituted In the courts to
annul the charters of both the Western
Union and Postal companies.
He will present a mass of evidence
that the companies have been forward
ing messages by mall and express after
collecting full telegraph tolls. He will
further charge the messages have been
shipped Into New York, copied on ths
proper blanks at the main offices and
delivered aa If they had actually come
over the wire*.
Attorney General Anxious,
Attorney General Jackson has been
anxious to get at the telegraph trust
ever since they entered Into a working
agreement for the division of profits
anil the raising of rotea. The supreme
court recently refused him permission
to bring suit ugalnst the companies on
the ground that they had conaptred to
form a monopoly.
