SOUTHERN HELL (OMANY
URGING EMPLOYEES TO
HUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
ATLANTA, May 29.—One of the most
liberal plans yet announced to encour
age and assist employees of business
concerns to buy Liberty Loan bonds is
offered to employees of "the Southern
Bell and Cumberland Telephone Com
panies in a circular letter just issued
by the president. W. T. Gentry. The
plan will be followed by all the tele
phone companies in the Bell System
and by a number of smaller connect
ing companies throughout the south of
which Mr. Gentry is an officer. It is
estimated that more than 200,000 Beil
telephone employees throughout the
country will have the plan at their
disposal.
Under this officer employees may
purchase bonds through the company
by paying SI.OO per week, or, if their
salaries are. on a monthly basis, by
paying $5.00 the first month, $4,00 per
month for ten months and $5.00 the
last month, thus covering the price of
a $50.00 bond. The company will re
tain the interest coupons for the first
six months, and when final payment is
made the employees will receive the
bond with interest coupons for the
last six months attached.
In urging employees to buy bonds,
President Gentry says in his letter:
“No greater evidence of patrotisvi
could be displayed by those of us who
will not be called on to serve in the
Army or Navy than by aiding the gov
ernment in securing the money neces
sary’ to carry on the war, and we can
do this in no better way than by buy
ing a Liberty Loan bond.”
WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN TO
RAISE 300.000 FOR FIRE RELIEF
ATLANTA, Ga.. May 29.—Hundreds
o; Atl: .a women at a mass meeting
Sunday afternoon in the City Auditor
ium outlined plans for a one-day whirl
wind campaign Wednesday to raise a
balance of) $30,000 needed for fire re
lief.
Wearing firemen’s helmets and gun
coats, the women will canvass every
section of the city in automobiles, stop
ping at every house and ringing a fire
gong, and taking cash donations in a
bucket which they will carry, similar
to the buckets used very effectively
ahead of the big fire last week when
hundreds of houses were saved by
wetting, the shingle roofs.
Relieving the fire sufferers has prov
ed a somewhat larger task than was
anticipated, and the Red Cross relief
station needs about $30,000 additional.
The women plan to raise this amount
ir one day. They will advertise their
campaign with an automobile parade
through the business center, and will
make a thorough canvass of every sec
tion of the city by systematic division
of the work.
RETAIL TOBACCO DEALERS
ARE UNPOPULAR IN ENGLAND
LONDON, May 29. —The most un
popular persons in England at the pres
ent time ar the retail tobacco dealers.
They are accused at the most brazen
stroke of war profiteering that has yet
teen achieved. The budge*, introduced
last week raised the tax on tobacco by
ft rty-four cents a pound. Thereupon
almost all of the dealers announced a
raise in prices averaging on all forms
of tobacco about sixty-four cents a
pound. The dealers take advantage of
an extra tax to charge the consumer
the tax and also an extra of twenty
cents a pound. The consumers are in
dignant, but as the dealers generally
hang together, the consumers have no
remedy except to stop using tobacco
There is an additional grievance in that
a large proportion of the tobacco used
in England is consumed by the soldiers
in training, on leave, or in hospitals,
and purchased by home people to send
to their soldiers at the front.
The profits resulting form this in
creased tax really work out at more
than twenty cents a pound. because
both the tax and profit are charged on
all the’ tobacco in stock which paid
duty at the old rate. So that, on the
stocks in hand when the duty was rais
ed, the dealers are making a new
profit of sixty-four cents a pound.
The tobacco trade will make about
$55,000,00(1 a year for collecting the
new duty which is expected to yield
$30,000,000 revenue, according to the
estimates of a correspondent of the
Daily Mail. He figures also that the
traders have about 44,000,000 pounds i:i
stock on which they will charge the
new duty to consumers, without having
paid it themselves.
