PREPARING FOR GOVERNMENT OPERATION OF
- TELEPHONES AND TELEGRAPHS
BY ellison Gardner.

washington, OCI. fs-lueTe ID eN-
cry indication here that the Wilson
administration is preparing and plan
ming to put through Congress a COM
prehensive plan for the nationaliza-
ton and government operation of
telephones and telegraphs.
Rep. David. ]. Lewis of Maryland,
the man who was the real author of
the parcel post legislation, is work.
ing on tentative bills looking to this
end, which will probably be intro
duced in the December session. Rep.
John A. Moon Of Tennessee, chair
man of the postoffice committee of
the House, is also understood to be
considering the introduction of such
a bill. The government ownership of
telegraphs and telephones, if accom-
plished, would, of course, be func-
ton of the Postoff1ce Department,
just as it is in practically all Euro
pean countries.
The most significant steps in this
direction, however, are likely to be
taken by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Since last February the
commission has been conducting ex-
tensive investigations into the opera
ton, rates in force, capitalization and
other features of the telegraph-tele-
phone monopoly. This investigation
resulted from the action of former
Attorney General Wickersham, who
referred the matter to the commits
sion on January % last.
What the probable recommends
tons of the commission in the mat
ter may be are not of course known.
But this fact is known: That sew
eral of the interstate commissioners
probably a majority of them-are
actually in favor of government own
ership and operation rather than gov
eminent regulation. The significance
of this situation lies in the fact that
there is already on the statute books
