IW Changes In Boll Tilophone Rates - 1915 to 1918 Compared with Changes In Wage* and Prices ' v **": ? ? ?- ? -> 74>sj ? TV7T"-"iy r ----- SINCE 1913 there has been a steady increase in the price of all com* modities and the products of industry, which has not been reflected in a corresponding increase in telephone rates. In order to meet the past and present high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in just pro portion to the expense must be secured. The reason is. simple. The cost of telephone operatiori has steadily advanced both because of the increased cost of material and the in creased living cost of employes. The consumer has realized the necet ? sity of paying more for rent, for food, for clothing and for transporta tion. Tfoe telephone industry*has been affected by the same conditions which have produced higher prices in all of the necessities Of life. ?> Between 1913 and 1918, commodity prices advanced 112 per cent, wages advanced 72 per cent and Bell Telephone rate* the country over advanced only 4 per cent Adequate rates are needed if tfie service is to be maintained efficiently and on a comprehensive scale v so as to meet the increasing demands of the public. X ? This company is operating its telephone property under the direc tion of the Postmaster General for the United States Government and must secure sufficient revenue to cover the cost of rendering the service.
