LONGOIS
TAME BAT
ARE IN EFFECT
FLAT RATE OF GV4 MILLS PER
MILE WITH EXCEPTION OF
MINIMUM CHARGE.
TWO 'CLASSES OF SERVICE
Costs More to Talk to a Particular
Person Than to Anyone An-
swering- No.
Called.
From M.inilav'js Dailv
Patrons of long distance telephone
lines have observed the past few
days that new rates are in effect,
which, in some instances differ ma
terially from the former rates, while
in others the charges remain very
nearly the same. This is due to the
new i-.ir-r.ne -charge of Cl4 mills per
mile for ttraight day rates. One of
the particularly noticeable features
rf the new rate schedule is the fact
that you must pay an increased rate
if you want to talk to a particular
party over what it would cost you to
talk to anyone who answers the tele
phone at the number given It
is claimed that this became necessary
in order to protect the telephone
company against an organized effort
on the part of many concerns in the
easr, wIki would call for a party re
pi.rted from the office called as "be
ing out just now. but would return
in minutes." The number of min-
-.'f . t p i.r,i-r sir th ens pnsrnt ie.
when conveyed back to the party
putting i:i the call had a certain
meartiVig in regard to the-stock mar
ket, the sale of war munitions or any
on? of a dozen other industries for
which codes were devised, and thus
the desired information was obtained
without cost and the call canceled.
Under the new rates the toll
charges are made on a divided plan,
the one where you simply talk to
-myone answering the phone at the
olace called being lower than if you
-visa to speak to a particular person.
The Omaha rate is cents for the
former class of service and 20 cents
for the latter, added to which there
is. of course, the usual war tax of
five cents per call, regardless of dis
tance or toll charge. The Nebraska
City rate is 25 cents and 30 cents for
he common and preferred service
and that to Lincoln is 35 and 40
rents respectively, together with a
jitney extra war tax to be added.
Evening and night rates are made
only in case you you will talk io
'he party answering the phone num
ber called. The evening rate of ap
proximately one-half the day rate for
preferred service, is effective from
8:30 p. m. until midnight and the
night rate from midnight until 4:30
a. m. approximates one-iourin ine
preferred day rate, but no evening or
night rates are made where one de
sires to talk to an individual only.
The reduction is not so noticeable
on nearby calls where a minimum
"harge rate eats much of it up, but
in calls to Denver, Chicago and so
forth it is very noticeable.
Another feature of the changed
rates is that where the initial tele
phone charge is 25 cents or less a
five minute conversation is permit
ted on station-to-station calls instead
of the former three minnte time lim
it applicable to all calls. Where the
rate is in excess of 25 cents or in
the case of personal calls the five
minute conversation is not allowed.
The changed rates and the tables
furnished for guidance of the tele
phone girls are very lengthy and it
entails no small amount of extra
work on them to become accustomed
to the new charges, so kindly be pa
tient if it seemingly takes a trifle
longer to get your party or tb in
formation you desire.
