DEAR YIPL On the new type pay phones (single slot) you can make a local 10 cent call for a nickel! Just when it's about to hit the triggering mechanism bang on the dial then bang it a few more times than tap the reciever button till you get your dial tone. When you hear the dial tone the dial will not react to it so dial by hitting the reciever button. For example, if the number is 648-6003 tap the button 6 times-4 times-8 times and so on waiting a few seconds between each number. You can also get the number by tapping it 10 times for Operator, in some areas you can get the Operator by tapping out 211. -P. R. BROOKLYN- DEAR YIPL The call back no. in Chicago is 571-6, its the only known no. in existence. Also some new loop nos. work on the supervised-unsupervised method. The last four digits are 9973-74. Any exc. between 271 and 973 are effective. For those that care, here are some switchman nos. (all of this is Chi-town) ED4-9952, LA5-9952. Just screw around with the exchanges and use 9952, and your bound to come up with a switchman somewhere in this city. Also for those who might like to know, a majority of the system here works on cross 1 paneling. I'm sorry at the passing of the party in N. Y. , back in January. I know, I hung on the night they fucked around with the volume. But no need to worry, I'm in the process of establishing a party line in Chicago! -B from CHICAGO Also: the telephone co. news wire service no. printed in issue no. 16 is not free. Here's one in Chicago though that is. (312) 368-8000. Listen in on the Bullshit. The inflationary spiral is taking its toll around the world today, especially in the U. S. We blame greedy corporations, the prime example being AT&T. With all the profits they are making, why are people borrowing more and saving less? Because, friends, our public utility, the phone company, does not use the profits to improve phone service. As you can see by the chart, more than 45% of your #14 brass washer pays for profit and expenses which are unnecessary in a true public service giving free local service to everyone (marketing, part of accounting, interest, and regressive taxation). In a socialist economy, the phone company wouldn't have to advertise(marketing expenses). It doesn't have to now! There's no competition! As far as taxation goes, a poor person pays the same amount of tax on a monthly basic charge as someone better off, even though the tax goes straight to the government(and to the military waste). And local telephone service costs the phone company that same 45%! Which means that a socialist economy would provide service improvements like this in the other so-called public utilities in this country.
