The Industrial Commission at this
mornings session again took up the dis
cussion cf the subject of transportation.
Prof Frank Parsons, Of Boston, testified
on telephone service and argued strongly
in favor Of municipal ownership of this

This however, Prof. Parsons said, finds its
cause in the very low wages of the EN-
ployes of the telephone companies.
