" WHY SERVICE IS BAD. V r Uanager Babington of the Piedmont Telephone k Telegraph Co. thinks The Gazette did hie company an Injustice In Wednesday's issue in copying an editor ial from The Charlotte News about the rotten phone service in that city, and saying that the same criticism applied here. He does not deny that the service is no usually poor which is, in reality, the rly criticism aimed at this public ser vice corporation. -In a statement to The . Gasette yesterday he asserted that the .service was poor because, a large number f liia operatives have been sick and he k unable to secure any to take their - places. He says that the telephone com pany pays as food wages as anybody. "We pay girls," he says, "from $35 to $50 and some $60 a " month. And yet we cannot secure girla. I will hire 23 today if I can get them", be said. I have scoured the country for. operators bat cant get them. Charlotte is having the same trouble.' , So is Atlanta and early every other place in the country','. Mr. Babington doesn't deny the bad ser vice, he excuses it ? This Is free adver tising for the phone company but The Gazette does not mind giving it, just to show that we believe in a square deal WRITES IN DEFENSE OF : THE TELEPHONE GIRL. Her Lot la Not an Easy One, and the Public Should be If or Considerate Sam Faults of fhs Public as Well t "' " tlie Service. ' ' , V . LOWELL, Jan. 24. Every where yon tans these days there seems to be a "knock',' for the telephone girt. Of sonrse every hive has its drone", but always remember there are those who honestly do the best they can, and the general public was never known to be entirely satisfied. Borne - people- think telephone work is play, . but every one . thinking this should visit an exchange at a busy period and see what it is and the complication thereof. "And they also think when. they "call up" that not an other fellow in the whole town should be talking when perhaps half of the busi ness men are hurrying their calls while most all the impatient women are mak ing the drops on the switchboard hum lie bees, and I really can't believe a girl would sit up and say "the line - is boey " or "out of order" just to get rid f the party, for she rightly knows they will be back ia two minutes to ask the same thing over, and isn 't it reasonable to believe she would give your connection to be through with you.

I speak all this not from observance, but from sheer experience. But I am really afraid that the thousands of telephone girls on whom the world so largely depends will go down through history "unwept, nnhonoredand snsung." The "flu"!

The coat of foodstuffs would increase and the packiug business be crippled if Congress enacted the Sims or , Kendriek bill, de clared Louis Swith, oneTof the "big fivo"; packers, before the House1 com mittee today. He branded, the report of the trade commission as ''grossly" unfair, asserting that the hearings were one-sided, giving the packers no oppor tunity to refute biased testimony. He denied the existence of any packer' agreement. Levy Meyers, counsel for Armour, termed the "highest-priced lawyer in the world," told the commit tee today the proposed bill to regulate the packers is unconstitutional, citing the Supreme Court decision in support of his statement. The bill would give the President "supreme," almost divine authority to engage in private industry contrary to the laws of the United States, declared Meyers. Mr. Fred L. Smyre is on a business trip North. Charlotte Observer: Mrs. Durham has been called to Gastonia to assist in nursing the children of Mr. and Mrs. C K.

During Mrs. Dur ham's absence Mr. Durham and son, Ed win,' are with Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Mur phy, at their home on North College street -rWhat might have proved a serious fire was nipped in the bud last night a- bout 7:30 o'clock in the basement of the Gastonia Hardware Company's store on Maia avenue.' The store waa closed and all but two or three of the employees had gone. The others were preparing to leave, when they noticed that tire auto matic motor ia the basement which oper ates the compressed air station ia front of the building for autoists was making rather peculiar sound. A quick inves tigation revealed the fact that it had caught fire ia some manner, the oil on it biasing and making a dense smoke. By using a fire extinguisher the blaze was quickly subdued. Had the store been de void of occupants at the tune there is probability that a serious fire might have resulted.

If some great act of heroism waa nee essary to protect a child from croup, no mother would hesitate to protect her off spring, but when it is only necessary to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain Cough Remedy and give it as soon as the first indication of croup appears, there are many who neglect it Chamberlain 'a Cough Remedy is within the reach of all and is prompt and effectual.
