Telephone Companies Have No Incentive To Earn Extra Dividends
President W S Gifford of AT&T addresses the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners in Dallas.

He cites rapid interconnection growth from 6 million telephones in 1907 to over 18 million today, enabling nationwide and international calls, yet acknowledges further progress is needed.
