SCRAMBLED
.FONE POLES

In an effort to account for its
figures, showing the cost of tele-
phone poles to be 100000
higher than the estimate OF the
state engineers, the phone COM
pany today put on the stand +. II.
Leggett, Pacific district manager
of the Western Electric Co., who
admitted on cross-eXamination
that the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co., the controlling
corporation, practically buys and
sells supplies to itself.
He admitted that the big tele-
phone corporation, supposed to
have been unscrambled, controls
not only the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Co. with subsidiary
companies, but that it also con-
trolls 90 per cent of the Western
Electric Co. stock, from which the
phone companies buy their sup
plies exclusively.
Gets All Profits.
All the profits from the sale of
supplies to the telephone COM
pany here go right back to the
parent corporation which controls
both the buying and selling con-
Germs, it was brought out.
The million dollars difference
in estimated cost of poles is one
of the biggest items which are be-
ing contested before the public
service commission in the hear
ing to fix a valuation of the COM
pany's property on which phone
rates can be based.

ADOPTING DRASTIC RULES
IN VIEW OF STRIKE.
THE EFFECT FELT
shippers and Buyers Are Already
Feeling the First Effects Of the
Threatened Strike-Ship-
ments Being Rushed.

NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-The first
effect OF the threatened railway
strike is felt here four days before
the walkout Of the 400 900 members
of the brotherhoods is scheduled.
Many lines have already put an en-
barge on freight that could not be
delivered before Sept. 4. Shippers
and buyers are making frantic eff
forts to move goods and lay in sup
plies.
Thousands of vacationists are on
their way home and business men
have cut their trip short and are
leaving for their homes.
The New Haven was the first road
to declare an embargo on freight in
the eastern district. The New York
Central, Pennsylvania, Erie. Lacka-
wanna and Eastern are expected 10
follow suit. No attempt is made by
the roads to minimize the effect the
strike will have on passenger traffic.
