The feature of Wednesday's session of the Independent telephone men in Lincoln was a red hot discussion of the bills now before the legislature providing for uniform telephone ser vice from all com Dan I es. The mem bers of the association were much op posed to the measures.and a committee appointed to confer with Senator Ep person, author of the bill most dis cussed, reported back to the conven tion that the conference was a most unsatisfactory affair, so far as they were concerned. . The Independents assert that the Epperson bill was framed lor.the. sole purpose, of assist ing the Bell company. The morning session of the associa tion was opened with a roll call, the representatives of the independent concerns responding with a report of their work during the past year. Some declared that the fight for business with the Bell company has been a walk-away. It was said that one of the methods the Bell used to compete with the independent service was to install free 'phones. This had been tried in a number of districts, but it was asserted it had not won out. It was also asserted the farmers want telephone service, and in many locali ties an unprecedented demand for in struments had been made from the country districts. Several representa tives stated that in their districts double and even treble the number of 'phones had been installed during 1906 than ever Defore." At the beginning of the afternoon session, the committee on resolutions, composed of Warren Pratt, Kearney; Dr. Lyman, Hastings; R. V. Montegue, Beatrice; F. n. Woods, Lincoln; T. H. Pollock, Platts mouth, submitted the following reso lutions that were adopted by the association: Resolutions Adopted. "Whereas, several bills have been introduced into the legislature the ef fect of which will tend to restrict and restrain the development of the inde pendent telephone movement through out the state, and "Whereas, all of said bills will affect the development of all the indepen dent telephone companies now exist ing and prevent other telephone com panies from being organized, and in dependent plants being constructed, and "Whereas, investors will hesitate to invest in telephone securities of inde pendent companies and unsettle the values of such securities, if any ad verse legislation is enacted at this ses sion of the legislature, and "Whereas, any legislation at this session tending to force the independ ent companies throughout the state to connect with the Nebraska Bell com pany will stifle the growth of all inde pendent companies throughout the state, and "Whereas, any legislation forcing the independent companies to operate or connect with the lines of the Ne braska Telephone company will pre vent the construction of independent telephone lines throughout the state, and will restore to the Nebraska Bell company its former monopoly, and "Whereas, it is unfair, unjust and unreasonable to the independent com panies now doing business in this state to force them to connect their respective lines with those of the Ne braska Bell Telephone company, and "Whereas, legislation of this char acter will depreciate the value of the property of the independent companies throughout the state, and will render their present telephone service inef ficient and ineffective, and "Whereas, an independent company has just begun the construction of an independent telephone plant in the city of Omaha, and any legislation of this kind forcing companies of the state to connect with the lines of the Nebraska Bell Telephone company would not only destroy and confiscate the property of the weaker telephone companies of the state, but would pre vent the construction of the indepen dent telephone plant at Omaha, and "Whereas, any such legislation at this session will be very detrimental to the interests of the people of the state of Nebraska, in that it will de stroy all competition. Now, therefor "Be it resolved, that we oppose all bills now introduced in the legis:ature, and that we earnestly request all citi zens of the state of Nebraska using in dependent telephones.to request their respective senators and representa tives to vote against any and all said bills as they now stand, and that "We favor the introduction of a bill preventing unjust discrimination on the part of all telephone companies throughout the state, and we further favor the enactment of such law as will prevent the giving or accepting of any free coupons, passes or telephone service of any character whatsoever." tlgue, J. M. Bell, M. W. Dimery, Mr. Clark, T. H. Pollock. After an hour's absence the committee returned and reported that they met with a com plete rebuff, but resolved to carry on the war to the bitter end if necessary.
