COMMISSION
NEEDS HELP
Force Of Traffic Bureau
SWamped by Increase Of
Rate Business
EXPRESS COMPANIES ARE
ALSO TO BE PROBED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. with an
urgent call on the Civil Service Com
mission for fifty persons qualified to
serve in its traffic bureau, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission is pre-
pairing to cope with the additional
work that is to be thrust upon It when
the new railroad rate law goes into
effect on August 27.
The increase of rate business has
already swamped the present force Of
the traffic bureau and when the com
mission takes up its new duties of
supervising railroad regulations as
well as rates, and the rates of both
telephone and telegraph companies, IL
Will become one of the busiest
branches of the government service.
Corporation Fights.
Besides this increase Of routine bust
ness the commission Is apt to be pre-
sented with several new inter-corpor-
alton fights. The largest of these
threatened is that between the Ma
tiOnal Independent Telephone Com
panies and the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
The Independent lines claim that the
American company is attempting to
gain monopoly of the telephone busi-
ness of the country in violation of the
Sherman Antitrust law.
Now pending before the commission
are the cases of the eastern and west
ern trunk line associations which must
be settled before the first OF next
November. When the lines In these
associations agreed voluntarily to
suspend their proposed rate advances
pending an investigation, nearly ten
thousand notices Of suspensions of
schedules were filed with the COM
mission. This is a slight indication OF
the ramfcations to be investigated.
Probe Express Companies.
/ The commission also proposes To
make an investigation into the gen
eral question of the rates scheduled
by express companies throughout the
country
Besides this work, new regulation
are to be drawn up under the new
law which must be tested in the ney
Court Of Commerce. Many provision
tin the clauses relating TO telephon
and telegraph companies are allege
to be extremely hazy and not clearl
defined.
'rhe commissioners will meet in ful
session about the first Of September
when the ne wwork will be begun 4

by psychologists and entomologists
that in Insects the antennae represent
