[ Special to Tun Hisn. ] Tlio war between the business nntl profes sional men of Uncoln on ono aide nnd the Nebraska Tolnphono company on the other , which tins threatened so long , commenced In earnest this mornl tg. Tliu employes of the telephone company \verolhu first aggressors As soon as the business houses \vorc opened the employes of the company appeared nml commenced to remove the telephones.Vhcn asked what they were doing they simply re sponded thnt the Instruments wore out of order nnd that they had been Instructed to repair thi'iii. About thirty-two 'phonos were removed during the forenoon , and thli alternoon the skirmish has benn of a desul tory nature. . The trouble originated about two months ago. An ordinance was introduced In the city council reducing the ratn ou telephone rentals. The agitation assumed n lively us- peot , ntul the business men of the city were naturally friendly to the city. H was discovered - covered , however , thnt under the charier the city had no right to nx or control the rates. ' This fact killed the ordinance. While the ordinance was pending , however , thoiucstion | of rates was iiretty well dis cussed. It was discovered that some of the business men \vero paving S3 per month wbllo otliors were charged but W.SO. This discovery created considerable dissatisfac tion. Unurd thn In order to do away with the dissatisfac tion. the telephone company stated that It would put all subscribers on the sanm foot ing so that there could bo no further com- plaints. The subscribers who have boon paying M. 60 per month for years .vcro noti fied that on December 1 tholr rates would bo t't per month , nnd that If they wished to re tain their 'phones they must sign new con tract s , This was received as a declaration uf war. A meeting of the subscribers was lulled and it wasdccldo'J to compel the telephone com pany to reduce the rentals or no out of busi ness. Committee * were appointed to can vass the city , and as it result , ' . 3 subscribers signed an agreement to take out their "phones before January 1 , unless the r.itcs were re duced. Manager EluUo informed Tin : Hr.u this morniiiR that the company would pay no at tention to the agitation in favor of reduced rates. Ho said that hu did not beliuvu that the business nion would' carry out thulr throats , and , further , that the eeni-r.il officers nt Omaha had expressed no alarm over the situation. Undid not believe that inoro than forty 'phones would bo taken out. Those ho said all belonged to tbo oU sub scribers who had been notitled to sisn new contracts. They bad refused to st n the now contracts and hence the 'phones were taken away from them this niornini ; .
