CHICAGO TELEPHONE CO. TO USE
AUTOMATIC.
H. F. Hill, chief engineer of tlio
Chicago Telephone Company, de
clared Monday that all the new ex
changes erected by the company In
the last flvo years w-ro constructed
with tho Idea of converting equipment
into an automatic one, within 3 or
4 years. He said tho company's now
downtown' building, ucioss the street
from Us present one, also was ar
ranged so that It could bo made a
mechanically operated plant at tho
proper time.
"At present wo have no idea when
our Chicago system will bo entirely
operated automatically," said Mr.
Hill. "It may take twenty years. I
think I can say that by 1922 or 1923
wo will mako a start. I don't know
what exchange will bo selected for tho
first installation.
"Mechanical operation of telephones
Is on the way. All tolophono men
agree to this. Automatic equipment
is sure to come, but wo can't say how
soon.
"When the installation is made In
Chicago It won't bo a semi-manual
system. It will bo a full mechanical
one.
"Our engineers havo been working
on the various systoms. Wo havo not
selected any particular ono. Thoy
can't oven say whoro a start will bo
made, that Is what particular part of
tho city will got tho automatic equip
ment first."
Telephone girls, according to Mr.
Hill's statement, nocd not go looking
for now Jobs nt once. Ho declared tel
ephone operators would bo needed for
several years to como, as when u start
is made toward changing over from
tho manual to tho automatic it will
take several years to mako tho chango
completely.
In Mlhvaukeo, Detroit and othor
cities thoro has been talk that tho
Hell Interests wero considering n
chango to tho automatic system. Mr.
Hill confirmed these. Ho said it had
been qulto common talk that within
a certain period of years, no ono could
estimate tho longth, the switch to tho
automatic system was sure to como.
"It's In tho air," said Mr. Hill.
Chicago, for several years, had an
automatic telephono systom. This
"competed" with the Dell system, but
after an eventful life and much re
financing tho automatic plant was
"Junked."
It never had to oxcoed 25,000 sub
scribers at any ono time. In fact, a
claim was made before tho city coun
cil that tho plant did not havo 20,000
bona fide subscribers, and thereforo It
bolonged to tho city, Tho Company
had a franchlso which required thnt
it have 20,000 bona fide subscribers
within a few years after tho franchlso
was granted

CARSON'S MESSAGE TO AMERICA
The Irish question Is always In
teresting. While President I)e Valera
of the "Irish republic" Is here to raise
money mid Is greeted by enthusiastic
ciowds, Sir Edward Carson, the Irish
unionist lender, Is telling Ihe United
States to mind Its own business. In n
speccli at Belfast lie said :
"Heaven knows I want good feel
ing between America nnd tills country.
I believe the whole future of the
world probably depends upon the rela
tions between the I'liltcd States of
America nnd ourselves, but I inn not
fining to submit to this kind of a cam
paign, whether for friendship or any
other purpose.
"I seriously sny to America today,
you attend to our own affairs; we
will nttend to ours. You look nfter
your own questions at home; we will
look after ours. We will brook no
Interference In our own n (fairs by any
country, however powerful. It Is not
for that wo Miiged the great war of Independence which has Just been con
cluded. Whnt right hiiil an American mission to come to tills country come
hero In n breach of hospitality of one nation toward another to attempt to
stir up strife In mutters In which they were not concerned?
"The encouragement those men gave tho Sinn Fein party lias created for
the British government far more dllllcultles than ever before."
