WITNESSES FOR THE
DEFENSE ARE HEARD
Competition in Telephone Business De-
clared Absurd for the Best
of Reasons.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. THE ques;
tion Of the effect competition had upon
the Bell and independent telephone
companies in parts of New York state
was considered today at the hearing in
this city in the government g disso-
luton suit against the American Tele.
phone 81 Telegraph company. The de.
fensc examined John +. Gordon, con-
nected with the New York Office of the
Bell system, who said competition in
New York state had brought about q
condition whereby subscribers, becom-
ing disgustcd with the service, had pc
titioned for the merger Of competing
companies.
On cross-eIamlnatlon by counsel for
the government, Mr., Gordon admitted
that the telephone company in Peeks.
kill, n. Y, associated with the Boil
system, reduced rates and otherwise
increased the efficiency of its service
after an independent company entered
the field there. Mr.. Gordon would not
admit that tho reduced rates and i'm
proved service was brought about by
competition. He said that rates were
reduced and service improved in places
where there was no competition, Henry
Souther, connected with n PHILADELPHIA
industrial concern, expressed the opin-
ion that competition in the telephone
business was failure, and that it
was no more logical than having two
car lines over the same route. Mr..
Souther also said in many cases indie.
pendent telephone companies had been
organized in different parts of the
country simply to float stock and then
sell out.
