U High Tide in Telephone Traffic This chart shows the extraordinary growth of the long distance traffic in the Bell System under war conditions. It does not show the tremendous advance in the price of raw materials, which enter into the manufacture of telephone equipment ? more than doubled since the war began. It does not show the increase in the price of labor and the shortage of both labor and materials, which have set a definite limit to the increase in telephone facilities. The entrance o I this nation in the great war, was the signal for the Bell System to pledge its entire service, unreservedly to the Government. As our military strength grows, and we become larger participants in the great war, the demands of the Government upon our service will continue to increase, and must always be met. ' ? ; An extraordinary increase in telephone traffic, due to the unprepedented commercial and industrial activity inoid&nt to the war, must also be adequately provided for. Like the other resources of the nation, our resources must be conserved, and we appeal to the American public, always patriotic to the core, to assist us in meeting these extraordinary conditions by avoiding as far as possible wasteful and extrav agant use of the servioe.
