Keep Watch on the Telephones and the Bell Company Rule
A Bell Telephone policy seeks to bar long distance calls made by non subscribers without authorization. Attorneys, absent from their office, were billed for two calls to Pittsburg made by an unknown man named Mitchell. They refuse payment, arguing they did not authorize or know the calls. If enforced, subscribers may need to lock offices or install phone locks to prevent unauthorized use.
