HEARING ON PHONE RATES
Service Commission Designates July
27 for Argument.

HARRISBURG, June 15.-The Public
Service Commission announces that on
July p a hearing viii be held In Harris
burg for a general argument on the tele-
phone situation in Pennsylvania. This
decision was arrived at after a conference
with r. B. Marye, general counsel Of the
Bell; Charles X. Robinson. Assistant City
Solicitor of Pittsburgh, and II. Findley
French, representing the Pittsburgh
Chamber Of Commerce, growing out OF
the Pittsburgh rate case.
Solicitor Robinson was inclined to the
idea that II has not been the practice to
Ak telephone rates on Statewide basis,
and he thought the interests of the Pitts
burgh district could be best subserYed by
localizing the question and thereby de-
termining just what would be reasonable
rates for the Pittsburgh zones.
The new members of the commission
will, I'm the meantime, familiarize them
selves with the case. there being a large
mass of testimony and exhibits TO con-
slider.
