Columbus, O.-The house of repre-
sentatives is to be forced to go on
record on the proposition to control
the employees operating the local and
long distance telephone lines connect
ed with the hall of the house.
The members will be given Sec
ond opportunity to indorse or repudi-
ate the recommendations of the spe-
ciai committee that investigated the
scandal over the Elson telephone
merger bill. The resolution present
ed by Ash of Seneca county on behalf
of the committee discontinues the
services of employees working for and
paid by the telephone companies and
puts the telephones directly in charge
of the house itself. A motion to sus-
pend the rules and put the resolution
on it's passage was defeated.
