HEARING FOR HELLO me n
Representatives OF Independent Com
panies Held Session With Com
mittee From Legislature.

st. Paul, January 29.-Representa-
tives of Independent telephone COM
panies from many towns in the
state met in the house chamber last
night and advocated the HOlmberg-
Schwartz-Minnette public utilities
bill. This bill simply places telephone
companies under the jurisdiction of
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion so that the body may regulate
rates.
E. T. Young, former attorney gen.
eral, appeared for the Independent
Telephone association of the state
and explained the bill The associa.
ton has approved it.
Discrimination is charged against
the Bell companies. 1t is said that
at competitive points it cuts rates
to one-third the rates charged where
the Bell company has no competi.
ton. Control by the railroad and
warehouse commission is expected
to do away with discrimination.
The hearing took place before the
house committee on telephones and
telegraphs. 1t is probable this com.
mittee will report the bill favorably
The only opposition thus far has
been from the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange company.

SRA. MEET AT REOWINC
Question of How to Meet Situation Re.
specting Members Taken Up:
Officers Elected.

Redwing, Mimi, January 29.-The
annual meeting of the Scandinavian
Relief association is being held in this
city. The question before the asso
citation is how to confront the present
situation. Two ways present them
selves, for the association to go into
voluntary liquidation or to reinsure
the members in some company whose
stability and soundness is fully re
cognized. This is in view of a de
creasing membership due to increas
ed rates
1t seems to be the prevailing senti
ment that the wisest way out of its
difficulties is for the association tc
reinsure it's present membership.
At yesterday afternoons session of
ficers were elected, as follows: Presi
dent, Peter Nelson, Redwing; vice
president, c. A. Johnson, st. Peter;
secretary, Andrew Lingern; treasur
er, c. F. Hjemstad; medical direc
