Kates for telephone calls are based on the following classes of service, and close familiarity with the same by our patrons will avoid many mis- understandings with regard to the charges: "STATION TO STATION" CALLS When a person makes a toll call by specifying the telephone number or telephone station, and does not request to talk to a particular person, the station to station rate applies. EXAMPLE A person calls for WG70 or Jones residence or Western Electric company. "PERSON TO PERSON" CALL By specifying a desire to talk to a particular person at a given number or station the person to person rate applies. For instance, Mr. Brown at YG7l or Mr. Jones at Jones residence or the Manager of the Western Electric company, etc. MESSENGER AND APPOINTMENT" CALLS If a messenger is required to bring a designated person to a telephone station, or if a calling party appoints a specified time when he desires to talk to a particular person at a distant point, the messenger and appointment rate applies, which is approximately 50 per cent higher than the sta- ur - t tt T t tt T tion to station rate. "EVENING AND NIGHT" CALLS Reduced rates (for station to station calls only) may be had as follows: From 8:30 P. M. to 12:00 Midnight 50 per cent of the station to station day rate. 12:00 Midnight to 4:30 A. M. 25 per cent of the station to station day WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. Regulation of the cuSl industry to prevent prices rising too high or going too low were advocated today before the senate committee considering the Calder coal regulation bill by Dr C. 0.

Wing, by the statistician, employed by the Calder investigating committee, who cited some eases where the operators took as much as $7.91 profit margin on eoal that cost $412 to mine. Dr. Smith was led int-- sharp tilts with Senator Reed of Missouri, on the latter asserting that the witwas ness aiming at aJohn D. Rockefeller stabilization of industry to prevent competition. REPORT CHARGES , If a person to person call cannot be completed for the reason that the person called refuses to talk, or is not in, or cannot be reached at a teleof the station to station phone, a report charge of approximately line charge applies. "COLLECT" CALLS Collect calls (that is, where the line charge is reversed) are only permissive in connection with person to person service.
