NOTHING MORE DELIGHTFUL Than Lake Travel on the Palatial Steamers of the C. & B. Line During Summer Months. Lake travel between Cleveland and Buffalo will probably start about April 15, according to P. J. Swartz, general manager. The C. & B. Trans Co., with steamers leaving each way, every night at 9 p. m., arriving at the opposite terminus at 7:30 a.m. all of the palatial steamers of the line have undergone their annual cleaning and are more attractively equipped than ever before. Another added attraction will be the fine orchestra on the great ship, "SEEANDBEE", which will give a concert every evening, followed by dancing in the main dining room. The new Port Stanley division is expected to greatly increase the traffic between Cleveland and Canada. The steamer, "City of Erie", will move to Cleveland and arrive at 6 p. m., returning from Stanley at 4 p. m., arriving again in Cleveland at 9:30 p. m. This division will operate from June 29 to Sept. 8. The distance across Lake Erie to Port Stanley is only 87 miles. Autoists, who like to tour in Canada, can now save many miles of congested roadway by availing themselves of C. & B. car-by-steamer service. This year autoists may go either from Cleveland to Buffalo or from Cleveland to Port Stanley, returning to their route, with their full time in the picturesque districts of Ontario Province. The C. & B. division between Cleveland and Cedar Point and Put-in-Bay will be covered by the day-out steamer, "GOODTIME", and the schedule has been so arranged as to permit a longer stay at Cedar Point or Put-in-Bay for those making these daily excursions. This division will open about June 9. Criminal Court Judge Frederick H. Wolf, sitting in common pleas court by assignment from Wauson, O. Saturday, fixed Aug. 2, as the day Lee Akers, age 17, must die in the electric chair for the murder of Franklin McCormick, 61-year-old gas station attendant, shot to death, last week. Akers heard a fixing of the date with the same lack of emotion that marked him during the trial. WEAVER FREED; GIVEN $305.10! Gives a Graphic Description of His 22 Months' Experience in the Death House at the Ohio Penitentiary. Joseph Weaver, acquitted, last Friday morning, of the murder of Jasper Russell (white), after a two-year fight to escape the electric chair, was introduced to a mass meeting at morning services, Sunday, by the pastor financial rally, to assist Weaver, was held at the church, Monday evening, when $305.10 was raised for his attorneys, Messrs. Cook and Marsteller, who fought for him without pay ever since his conviction. Weaver, six feet four inches tall, with broad shoulders and big, knotty hands, shuffled uneasily and in embarrassment behind the light-streaked walnut reading stand on the church's rosette hall, the pastor of his life and near-death his conversion and re-conversion to Christianity. "If I would attempt to tell you how I prayed, it would take as much speaking as I have done. God was my guardian as He was for Daniel in the lion's den. Nothing brought me through but faith like the faith of Abraham, and patience like the patience of Job. Through many dangers, toils and snakes I have already come. It was grace that brought me thus far and grace will lead me home." He gave lavish praise to Nathan E. Cook and Wm. F. Marsteller, his attorneys. "Now to the young men, and not only the young men, let me advise you", he continued. "You must think before you give a person your name and address for him to keep in his pocket and in your hand writing. I came within 48 hours of being killed because my name and address was found in a person's pocket, which I gave him some cloth to make his wife a suit like the one I had sold him for himself." Weaver described thirteen men who went to the electric chair during his 22 long months in the death house. He is to speak at Mt. Zion Cong, church, Sunday afternoon, and one or two other church meetings. Weaver is staying at 2330 E. 57th St. Col. Sidney B. Thompson took the room, and among other things, said: "It is the poor boy's old mother down in Georgia, his tender-hearted, bent old mother, who brought him through. Through God she has been given her boy back from death". Then the congregation moved slowly down the close-packed church aisle to "shake hands with Joe" and to throw dollar bills into collection baskets that couldn't be emptied fast enough. They kept going for more than half an hour. Weaver said, affectionately, the probably would leave soot for Brueke County, Georgia, to visit his mother who is over 80 years of age. Cleveland, Apr. 4, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir, hope you will pardon me having to leave you before now, as I did so often while in Columbus. One reason is that I have had nine times less time here to spend in writing than I had while in the death house at Columbus. There have been many suggestions and propositions made to me since I have been here, pointing out the best and quickest ways to help me settle in and move on after I am liberated, if I am. Since I am on trial now, as you know, I have not made any arrangements or promises to any of them, and could not afford to do so before allowing you to be first choice as director for me. You played the fourth part of importance in my defense (Attys Cook, Marsteller, Chaplain Reed and you) and I will look you up before I make a forward move with anyone other than me. I have fought for me from the very first. I have received The Gazette, regularly every week, since I have been here as I did while in Columbus for the last thirteen months. I will be glad to do something to show my appreciation for the paper and the invaluable services you have rendered me in The Gazette, this year, and especially the Sunday you went from church to church in this city in zero weather, making speeches to help you. I hope you will receive this letter promptly. Many thanks to you as ever. I am Hoover's New Southern Policy The Chicago Daily Tribune said editorially, recently: "If Mr. Hoover succeeds in attracting the southern squires to the Republican party, he must first drive the Negroes from it. That will leave both parties to the Kluxers and the drys, and the Republican party will be even more anti-Negro than the Democratic officer of them into total subjection. The Negroes are faithful to the Republican party because it gave him the only protection he ever knew; now he is to be betrayed by his friends." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS COUNCILMEN BROWN AND GEORGE SAY COUNCILMAN GREGG DID SAY IT. Gregg Opposed to Our Girls Entering City Hospital School for Nurses in Common With the Girls of All Other Classes or Races in This Community. COUNCILMAN RUSSELL S. BROWN (The editorial referred to.) When Councilman Russel S. Brown brot up his resolution, in the caucus of Republican members of the City Council last week, to open the door to our girls, desiring to become trained in our internes, Councilman Gregg Joseph ed to it saying that it was not time to expect our girls to train for nurses with white girls at that public institution, and that the same objection held good in the case of our internes who desire to train at City Hospital. What do you think of that Gregg asked that what was said in that meeting would not be repeated on the outside and that he (Brown) refused to accede to Gregg's request. It is also said that City Manager Will Hopkins has promised Gregg the old babies' dispensary building in E. 37th St. for "Great hospital and to appoint him to head it." More reason that Hopkins, the present plan of local government and Gregg be voted out just as soon as possible, this year. But what do you think of Gregg?—From The Gazette of Apr. 6, 29. Cleveland, Apr. 6th, 29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette of Apr. 6th, 29. Dear Sir:—I am somewhat surprised to read your editorial "Not Time" of April 6th publication, an absolutely false statement accredited to me and by Rev. Russell S. Brown. It will be hard for me to believe that Rev. Brown is a falsehood, for I have high regard for him as a Christian gentleman. I believe that no man has labored harder for negro advancement in Cleveland than I, and yet I wish to add that, I have more confidence in moral suasion and diplomacy as forms of achievement than radicalism. Councilman Gregg says he didn't say it, while Councilmen Brown and George say he did. The difference is only a question of veracity between the gentlemen named, with two against one. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence is against Gregg. If Gregg has ever "labored hard for 'Negro' advancement in Cleveland" we have failed to learn of it, tho we have watched his career here ever since he landed, from "down home"—Editor.

First, let me give you the "heart" of the resolution referred to: That a special committee of three members of this Council, to be appointed by the mayor, is hereby authorized and to investigate the operation of the City Hospital and any contracts of the city with any institutions or agencies with a view of ascertaining whether full and equal opportunities are accorded all citizens for training in medical and nursing professions". This was discussed in a meeting and asked a number of friends. It was at that time that Gregg opposed the resolution on the ground that it was untimely; that there existed an organization of white nurses which would not allow their members to work with colored nurses, and if we tried to force colored girls into the City Hospital it might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital. I maintained then, as I do now, that an official investigation and report on the matter will give us a basis on which to work. It is timely and right to open the City Hospital to our boys and girls. This is as near as it is humanly possible to quote the facts. The doctor (Gregg) and I were not the only members of our race present. Atty. Clayborn George, as well as present. Please call him and ask him to relate what he understood Dr. Gregg to say. Mr. George favored the resolution, as did most persons present. George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. D. Dear Mr. Smith:—In answer to your inquiry over the telephone, today I reference to statements made by Dr. Gregg, Irish to advise that I was present at a meeting where a proposed resolution of Rev. Russell Brown was being discussed. This resolution in substance asked for an investigation on the part of the City Hospital with reference to equal opportunities being furnished to all people for the training of nurses and internes. According to my best recorder, Gregg said that the American Association nurses of New York and Philadelphia to the training of white and colored nurses in the same hospital, and because of the attitude of the American Nurses' Association he thought the resolution was untimely. He further said that if colored nurses were placed into the City Hospital it would destroy the morale of and affect seriously the services rendered there, and for that reason he was opposed to the placing of colored nurses further said that he did not believe that this would be true with reference to colored internes. He was also opposed to the resolution because he felt that more could be accomplished on Page 2, Col 3.) --- TUBBY A Fishy Argument. CHESTER, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?

Last year the Cleveland Railway Company announced that the Cedar Ave. line was the best paying line in the city and that the Central Ave. line was the second best paying line in the city. Now, we are informed that the service on the Central, Cedar and Scovill Ave. street-car lines, already very bad, is to be made much worse on April 16, '29, when four runs and nine trailers are to be taken off the Scovill Ave. line and two more runs taken off the Central Ave. line. This is almost an outrage, since the cars remaining on both of the lines will be required to make such fast time on their runs downtown and return to make it really dangerous for passengers, in the cars as well as when they get on and off them. Just what change is to be made in the service on the Cedar Ave. line we have not as yet learned but understand that it too is to be curtailed. Many Central Ave. car-riders, like the writer, have been forced in the last year to cease patronizing that line because of its miserably poor service which includes the old cars used on the line. If the local streetcar management has been trying ever since last year to make the Central Ave. a poor paying line, it surely has succeeded, since Tractioner Ballon, some weeks ago, threatened to ask City Council for permission to take the cars off Central Ave. because of poor patronage; so he informed the Council's committee on street railway matters. And yet, a year ago it was the second best paying line in the city! There must be some reason for all this. Is it the purpose to make Central Ave. an automobile thorafore when the "Central" bridge is completed? COUNCILMEN BROWN, GREGG. An effort is being made to revive the long dormant "Cleveland Association of Colored Men". At its meeting, Thursday evening, in the Wills Bldg., E. 55th St., Councilman Russell S. Brown was to publicly confirm the statement, made editorially in The Gazette, last week, to the effect that Councilman E. J. Gregg did object to his (Brown's) "City Hospital" resolution in a recent Republican councilman caucus, saying that it was not time for our people to expect our girls to train for nurses with white girls at that PUBLIC institution, and that the same objection held good in the case of our internes who desire to train at City Hospital. This, too, in the face of the fact that colored and white boys and girls, young men and women, have been studying and training together in the public institutions of this city for more than fifty years—long before Drs. Gregg, Owen and their "jim-crow" kidney left "down home" to trek northward. Week before last, the near half dozen at an alleged meeting of the "Cleveland Association of Colored Men", among them, it is said, were Drs. Gregg and Owen, J. W. Wills, Sr., president of the "organization;" Dwight Williams, Selmo Glenn and Chester Gillespie, a resolution was adopted asking Councilman Brown to "hold up" his resolution as Gregg desired. Several of the "baker's half-dozen" at the meeting, opposed to this resolution, afterward went to Dr. Brown and told him they were opposed to it and a "jim-crow" hospital in Cleveland, and urged him not to withdraw his "City Hospital" resolution, as requested, but to push it the allerder and open that PUBLIC institution to our people in common with all others in the community. Which of course will be done. If it isn't time to use the "City Hospital" for OUR internes, and girls desiring to become trained nurses, it certainly isn't time for our men to sit in the City Council as members, especially "mis-representatives" of the Gregg kind. There are members of the race in this city who insist on feeling and acting as if they were still "down home" with the red bandanna tied tightly about their heads. They seem to have forgotten what made them leave the South and are seeking to make "jim-crow" conditions here as bad as they were, and still are, "down home", providing of course they can gain some selfish end. They have no care for the future of our boys and girls, the men and women of tomorrow. Lord, have mercy; GO BACK "HOME" GREGG Councilman E. J. Gregg is opposed to our people exercising their citizen rights in a public institution supported by the taxpayers of the community, among whom we number thousands, because organized prejudiced white nurses "would not work with our nurses", he says, and because "forcing our girls into the City Hospital nurse-school might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital," he continues. Now, really can you believe that a sane member of the race, a doctor and a city councilman, too, could possibly deliver himself, in this day and time and in this city, of such rot, and, too, in the presence and hearing of white colleagues, members of the Cleveland City Council? O, Lord God of Hosts, we mercy! "We should worry" whether prejudiced white nurses worked with ours or not, and whether "the morale of the entire City Hospital" was "disrupted" or not! As far as the former are concerned, "we don't give a darn", and as for the latter, if any persons are to worry about that "morale" let the public's servants in charge of City Hospital, who are paid by the taxpayers thousands of whom are our people, do it. And we are not so sure there would be any, when those nurses or others at the hospital, who are prejudiced, were told they could stay or go, as they saw fit. Why is Gregg so anxious to please prejudiced persons, even to the extent of denying his own people their citizen rights in that public institution? Is the man bereft or what in the world is the matter with him? One thing sure, he is in the wrong city and state with such "down home" stuff in his mind and should "up stakes" and hurry on back to "dear old Tennessee" or wherever in the South he came from. He is more than fifty years behind the times, for this section of the moral vineyard. Go back South, Gregg! And for God's sake and that of your own people of this city, at least, stay there until you can "take that red bandanna off your head". Here, you are in the way and trying to "block the runways".

Against "Jim-Crow" Hospital! Cleveland, April 5, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:...My attention has just been called to the editorial headed "Not Time" in your issue of April 6. In this editorial you make the following statement: "It is also said that City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins has promised Gregg the old babies' dispensary building in E. 37th St. for a "jim-crow" hospital and to appoint him to head it". In the interest of truth and justice permit me to make the following statements: 1st. I do not favor and never have favored any hospital which is not open to all of the people of Cleveland, regardless of race or color. The "jim-crow" idea is hateful to me. I never heard of any suggestion that Dr. Gregg, be appointed to any position in connection with any hospital. No such promise as you mention has ever been asked or made. 3rd. Dr. Gregg has never asked me for anything for himself but has been diligent in his efforts to secure in the city of Cleveland adequate facilities for the training of colored this city the nurses and for the appointment of colored physicians as internes. As a matter of common fairness, I trust that you will give this letter the same prominence which was given to the editorial above mentioned. Yours very truly, W. R. Hopkins, City Manager. Prime Sport News Local Team to Play Independently. The Cleveland Tigers, Williams & Gambale's fast local nine, has withdrawn from our National League and will play playable ball, this summer. Its management complained, many times, to league headquarters about its schedule, without receiving any satisfaction, hence the withdrawal. L. N. S. Cobb will again team the team and Hooper Field will be used. Teams from our National Leagues will be brought here for exhibition tilts. A crew of workers is getting Hooper Field into shape for the first game with the Tellings, April 28. On May 5, the Tigers will play the Homestead Grays. "Gorilla" Really Won. Said Jimmy Doyle in Wednesday's Plain Dealer: "Summing up, I'd give Willie "Gorilla" Jones of Akron six rounds, Tommy Freeman five, and call the other even. Adding three knockdowns to the Jones count and well, there you are. Brief knockdowns they were, true—the official call, it were, two, one and one—but genius knockdowns, every one. "Twas a riproaring, rib-rattling, jaw-jolting combat—all the distance of it. Tight enough, moreover, in the way you'd score those rounds, but there was that about the winning of those Jones rounds — that about those three rapid-fire knockdowns—which gave him something much better than the bit of an edge that he didn't get". Attendance, nearly 10,000. Those (whites) in attendance upon on the twelve-round fight, Tuesday night, even some who bet on Tommy, the southern white who has lived in Cleveland for months, frankly tell us that Jones, in addition to his three knockdowns in the first few rounds, everlastingly lambasted Freeman in the last four or five rounds. It was Gorilla's victory "by a big margin" they say, and taken from him by a prejudiced referee from N. Y. City. Public hall was the scene of the battle. Attention! Readers!

Editor OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 2. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 3. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 4. Limitations of action. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. County's right of action against member of mob County's right of action against another county. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 162 10.) representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from another county. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a bounty by manual labor. (93 v. 161. 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the injury occurred. (93 v. 161. 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in peril, or if liability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 125. 1.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed $10,000, ages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of the person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284.

(93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian such person, such guardian such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law.

A person who carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 162.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 1240.010 The proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race will enjoyment of the accommodations. Facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 1241.1941 Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

The Civil Service commission has cancelled the certification of the first three names on both men's and women's lists for the position of attendance officer in the employ of the board of education. Sec. Jeffry gave as a reason, that George Whitman, chief of the bureau, was only entitled to three names, and from one list, for one position. Mrs. Basil Ramsey and Mrs. Walter Ison were also entitled to the same women's list, and on the men's list, a Mr. Tabor and Walter E. Carey, Jr., were in the same positions.

Another common condition ts for the driver to fall to give the horn proper attention, with the result that brushes get out of udjustment or the bearings of the horn motor are not given sufficient lubrication to keep them moving properly when the bat- tery ts weak.

Six-Wheel Truck Saves Paving Along Highways One of the greatest factors in minl- mizing highway damage under heavy loads during the Iast two years has been the development of the six-wheel truck. According to the results of tests made by the United States bu- reau of roads the Impact—which is the determining factor in road de- struction—of a six-fon, _six-wheel truck, Is less than that caused by a two-ton four-wheel truck under sim- flar conditions. “Three and one-halt years ago," says the head of a truck-making con- cern, “there were but two manufac- turers of six-wheel units who were actually marketing six-wheel tracks and busses. Since then the number has Increased to nearly a dozen In the United States, and at least twenty- five of the leading truck -manufactur- ers in Europe are producing six. wheel equipment.” Motorists Entertained With Program of Music While anxious motorists wait for the green “Go” light of the main trate tower in Orlando, Fia., they are entertained with a musieal” program from four huge amplifiers.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY. pi S0in Weeteeer oeeeer Tnien> ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS INCREASE IN USE OF PHONE ‘That the use of the telephone in Ohio as well as in the nation as a whole is increasing was shown by figures submitted in the annual re- Port of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company during the annual stock- holders’ meeting at Cleveland. An increase of 45,580 telephones during 1928 was reported, a gain that exceeded the previous year's figures by 5,631 and raised the to- tal number of telephones in opera- tion throughout the company’s ter- ritory to 647,453. These figures show that the growth of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company was more rapid in 192s than in any previous year. With the decrease in long distance rates and improvements that speeded up service, the telephone has gained in popularity as a means of rapid and satisfactory communication. $20,341,576 Expended While the increase in telephone stations was in progress, the com pany was also carrying on the greatest expansion and improve- ment program of its history, ac- cording to the annual report. The sum of $20,341,576 was expended ‘on new plant construction to care for the growth in business, and for replacements and improvements to existing plant equipment. Amon the major items were: Land and buildings... ..$1,574,715, Central office equipment. 3,570,131 Subscribers’ station equip- Ment. .veeeenersevee 4y400,621 Exchange lines 0.0... 6,504,187 Total lines .........-.+ 8,275,470 The progress of the past yea was outlined as follows: “Definite progress has been mad in the improvement of local and long distance service. “Interruptions of service are less frequent and of shorter duration due to improved maintenance of the telephone plant. Less time is taken to complete calls between cities, and the quality of voice transmission shows further ad- vancement.” In 1928, the average number of employees in the company was 18,590, and of this number 9,457 were ‘listed as subseribing ‘for 33,001 shares of American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company stock on December 31, 1928. A. T. & T. Lines Improved In the annual report of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, reledsed a few days ater, one of the outstanding fen- tures was the improvement of telephone service while keeping down its cost to the user. Presi- dent Walter S, Gifford pointed out to stockholders the reduction in long distance rates. During the year, the A. T. and T. experienced an increase in. stock- holders from 423,580 to 454,596, a noteworthy increase in the publie’s use of long distance facilities, and an expenditure of $428,700,000 for canals PHONE WIRES MOT PROTESTED AGAINST “FLL Oae Exchange Face ee ase ‘That the recent influenza eyi- demic took a southerly course through Ohio is shown by recorits of absence in The Ohio Bell Tele- phone Company. In Toledo, the highest absence rate occurred dur- ing the week of December 9, wher 43.4 per cent of the local force and 2244 per cont of the long distance operators were unable to report for duty. In Findley, the week of De cember 16 showed an absence raic of 7.8 per cent, and in Columbus the peak occurred during the wee’ of December 23. ‘The epidemic proved a serious impediment to telephone service throughout the state, with each of the various exchanges crippled to some extent through the ravages of “flu.” The exchange at Claridon was foreed to close entirely and a telephone was installed in a gro- cery store to provide outside com- munication through the exchang: at Chardon. In Columbus, approximately 25 per cent of the company’s opera- tors were off duty, while the 2b- sence in Cleveland amounted to 20 per cent, with 400 operators con- fined to their homes. ‘All over the state service was be- low normal and the telephone com- pany requested public co-operation in overcoming the handicap, urg- ing subscribers to have patience when their calls were not put through with the usual prompt- ness. ‘ In an effort to combat the epi- demic, constant vigilance was ex- ercised by telephone company of- ficials and all. employees who showed signs of fever were sent home. All transmitters were care- fully sterilized after use and other precautionary measures such as gargles and antiseptics were used.

Even if offered this tremendous sum, C. M. Gravel, commercial manager of The Ohio Bell Tele- phone Company at Painesville, would be reluctant to part with his seat in the telephone exchange of that city. Sitting in the same chair nearly every day for 25 years naturally ereates a strong attachment between the chair and its oceupant.

A. When the fire g) was reported to - Miss Edith Hart- <i well, operator of SM tho Marshal - ville exchange, fd she immediately = called the fire chief, who rang the fire bell. But, so ardent were his efforts that the bell rope broke before the bell had so much as tinkled. The fire was rapidly gaining headway, having started in the dance hall, and every moment lost meant an additional hazard to the village. The fire chief rushed to a telephone to notify Miss Hart- well, who speedily called each vol- unteer fireman and then summoned additional aid from Doylestown and Orrville. Among the various duties that a telephone operator is called upon to perform is that of locating a lost flier. When the search was on for Tilden Johnson, continental fler who lost his life near Akron in a blinding snow storm in No- vember of 1928, seven Ohio Bell Telephone Company operators were praised by airmen for their part in the search. These girls, Margaret Reed, toll supervisor, Mae Williams, Ethel Ott, Mary Bittman, Thelma Syanton, Kather- ine Brown and Margaret’ Richard- son, worked incessantly at their switehboards in the Akron Ex- change in an effort to locate the lost flier. Reduce Calling Time In the Bell system during the past year, the average length of time for handling long distance calls was 1.2 minutes as compared with 1.5 minutes in 1927 and 2.6 minutes in 1925, according to offi- cials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. About £5 per cent of all long distance calls are handled while the calling party remains at the telephone, as compared with 90 per cent a year ago and 70 per cent in 1925. Advances in the art of commu- nication carried on during 1928 by the Bell Telephone Laboratories, the research and development branch of the Bell System, resulted in the development of a deep sea, long distance cable by the use of which the spoken word will be transmitted across the Atlantic. Bee re ses roa ee paeore take place in the United States every minute of the day. Copper wire used per telephone feet at the present time, and is ex- pected to grow to 60,000 feet by New telephone wire in the United States is being added at the rate of about 10 miles per minute. 5 5 ubscribe Now which Mr. Graul transacted his business at his desk in the tele- phone building, he liked his desk and he liked his chair. In fact, the sentimental value of that chair be- came prodigious. But all things must give way be- fore the march of progress and so went Mr. Grauel's chair when the telephone business office was moved to new headquarters. The man- lager was given a new chair; hand- some and comfortable, but— “I've been in the telephone busi- ness for 33 interesting years and would have to use an adding ma- lehine to list the improvements, either invented or developed, that have occurred in the industry in ‘that time,” said Manager Grauel. “But none of our Bell scientists tried to improve that chair. It ‘couldn't be done—the basic prinei- ple and construction were perfect. Tam not certain of its-origin, but it has touches of Cogwell, Heppel- white, and Chippendale, ‘with an additional leaning toward the early Grand Rapids period” ‘The fact that local junk dealers have refused to buy the chair will not deter Mr. Grauel from offering it to the Smithsonian Institute, if the Iatier asks for it. Phone Call Made By Auto Number Automobile license numbers and telephone numbers are quite differ- ent things but in one instance at least they served the same pur- pose. ‘A call from Toledo to a certain address in Detroit was successfully made recently when the calling party gave the operator the license number of the automobile owned by the man with whom he wished to communicate. The Toledo man was attempting to locate a man in Detroit who haa figured with him in an automobile aceident some weeks before. He gave what he believed to be the correct address in Detroit but the report came back that his party could not be found there. ‘The operator then asked the ‘Toledo man if he knew the license number of the automobile driven by the man he wished to reach. He gave her the number and she forwarded it by telephone to De- troit police, who obtained the cor- rect address, and the call was put through. STATEMENT .
