State and federal commissions fought down rates until their revenues were not sufficient to make their securities saleable. Then came the war and when earnings increased so they could buy equipment, the shops and factories were swamped with war orders. The demand for cars doubled but no increase in rolling stock was possible, and cars for coal and foodstuffs were not available. Every town and every industry is crying for cars and output of mine and factory are retarded cause the railroads are congested with traffic. We have had federal control and conflicting state- - control, we have regulated rates, but have never allowed railroads to to increase efficiency. We need as never- - before a constructive railroad policy so that railroads can get capital requirec ' to make them efficient for nationa wartime needs. An increase of 1 2 cents a pound on copper which the government is contemplating, would he a great help to the smaller companies which are just about breaking eveiv and en1-- courage development.

The high development of telephone efficiency in this country gave the United States, when it entered the war, a superiority over all other nations for quick communication. The nations capital and the various military headquarters are linked with all' the lines of the Bell Telegreat industrial centers of the country by the phone System. Thousands of miles of special telephone wires have been turned over to the government for its exclusive use. Bight of" way is given to government telephone calls over all lines. of the In its prosecution of the war our government has the effective Bell Telephone System, which reaches 70,000 communities and extends to every military camp In the United States. One man in every ten from the maintenance and construction forces of this company is now in the telephone signal corps of the army or In some other branch of the military service. Not only have our men answered their countrys call, but the telephone operators are doing their bit also. These faithful young women realize the tremendous dependence the nation places on rapid communication in this crisis, and are accepting cheerfully the heavy responsibilities thrust upon them. In spite of the war and what it has meant to this company in the increased number of telephone messages to handle, the enlistment of so many of our trained employes, the shortage of equipment, and the high cost of telephone materials In spite of all these obstacles, we are meeting the needs of the public for telephone service lu a remarkably successful way. long-distan- The Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss.
