$a,oOo,0Oo TELEPHONE STEAL ON
THE BUMPS

Fayette Munro, attorney for the
Public Ownership league in the auto
matte phone sale cases, said today
it's hopeless for the phone companies
to put through the deal and get
away with it at>this late day.
Assurance come to US from Atty
Gen. Gregory at Washington that
public hearing would be held there
and all sides heard before the de-
partment Of justice would consent to
approval of the automatic SALE" said
Munro. W
Besides beineS absolutely blocked
at Washington for the immediate
present, the biIlion-dollar Bell phone
trust would have to open and close
several other gates before it could
go through on this sale. It is true
that the state utilities commission
has given it's consent to the deal The
supreme court, however, has yet to
hear our suit appealing from the de-
CisiOn of the utilities commission.
"Our appeal from federal circuit
court decision favOring the sale is an
OIACA case IL4dL L4uSI NC uOdIus OO
there are two suits in courts of law
and one public hearing by the federal
department of justice which must be
passed through before the sale. can
be consummated.
mot one of these offensives
launched in court action will be with
drawn until it is clear that the sale
is blocked or its legality is decided
by the courts as beyond question.
The Public Ownership league takes
the view this automatic phone sale
would be steal of at least $1,000
900 from the people Of Chicago. The
fact whether under the law such a
steal can be accomplished is being
tested OUT through these various
actions we have started
Every day of delay is an advan-
tage to our positions, I believe Aid. /

CLAIM BIG BAKERS CHEAT IN
WEIGHT OF BREAD
Big bakers of the city are cheating
on the weight of their Ioeves Of bread,
according to city seaIer, Morris Eler,
while the little fellows are giving
honest weight. He is investigating.
U. S. Atty Clyne's Office is sup
posed to be awaiting orders from
Washington to start a rigid inquiry
into the rise of bread prices contem-
plated by bakers.
A letter to H. G. Clabaugh, head
of the U. S. bureau of investigation,
from S. w. Roth says that the Min
neapoIis flour companies are charg-
ing more, for their product in Cook
county than elsewhere in the coun-
try. IL.
Federal probe of the proposed
bread price increase widened today
when it was learned the gornment
is planning an INVESTIGATION into the
cost of materials of which bread is
made.
A number of dealers in raw mate
rails have already been summoned
to appear at the office of the U. S.
dist atty. Bakers have told him that
unless price of bread is increased
they will be forced into bankruptcy.
