ST. HELENS MIST, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1918 correspondence WARREN The telephone users protest meet ing was held on Monday night and was exceptionally well attended. Practically every phone user who takes an interest in the communities of Warren and Bachelor Flats was present. A strong and decided pro test was passed and the attendant unanimously favored the doing away with the present phones and building an independent line should the com mission allow any increase In the rates from those at present in force. At the present time from five to twelve subscribers are oa each party line and tin service is exceedingly poor, many of those present de claring that they had rang for cen tral as much as ten times before get ting a reply and the opinion was freely expressed that the system was so poor that the rate now paid was altogether too high and an effort should be made to reduce the rate instead of an increase as at present proposed by Postmaster General Burleson. The indignation expressed was very decided. O. A. Erickson called the meeting to order and K. F. Larsen was selected chairman and O. A. Erickson, secretary. A protest covering the sentiment of the users ws addressed to the commission and will hare been signed by every per son on the phone line with his tele phone number, in Warren and Bach elor Flats.
