Chicago People Pray Against Grasp of Bell Monopoly
An antiquated Chicago column argues the Bell Telephone monopoly overcharges through its owned local line and Western Electrical Company, accusing the city department of electricity, lamp subsidies, and the pay in advance payphones of padding profits for the Bell group. It condemns rate hikes and calls for investigations into city officials and the pay structure for Municipal Court personnel.
