He will call for an aye and nay vote and thus have on record how each man voted on n question whjch the people, by a two to one vote, have said they desired. An Interesting line of verbal pyrotechnics Is expected. The eternal pump question will again be up. The aldermanlc board amended the resolution calling for an other Investigation, and council will now have a little say as to those amendments.

Announcements of another place of meeting were erroneously made at two churches Sunday night. “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 MUST STAY EMPTY 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.” Three Mysteries for the Po lice Department to Solve. Chicago.

C. 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.
