A representative from the office Of
State Agent George A. Malone, OF
the Compulsory Labot Bureau, has
been spending som etihle recently in
Cambridge. and made about thirty
arrests for alleged violations Of the
law. The Compulsory Labor Bureau
has made it plain that the State,
which is backed by the Federal Gov
eminent, intends to enforce this law.
The law requires all able bodied
male citizens between the ages OF
Is and SO years to engage in some
regular occupation. The agent made
| it plainly understood that WORKING
two or three days a week would not
be accepted as evidence of complying
with the law, but that able bodied
men must work six days. He will
return in short time to investigate
cases in the various districts of the
county, as well a sto look still fur
Their into conditions in Cambridge.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Company, of Baltimore city,
has applied to the Public Service
Commission for an indefinite post
ponement of the investigation of its
rates charges, etc. The request Is
based upon the expressed belief of
the Company that such hearings are
inexpedient and unadvisable on ac-
count of the war. Possibly it may
be all right to postpone this inyesti-
cation until the close of the war, but
it does not seem right or proper to
permit the same to die from inactiyi-
ty. The complaint of the Cambridge
Board of Trade, which started the
investigation, was filed some six or
eight years ago, and the matter has
continued to drag all of this time,
without any decision, and in the
meantime Cambridge subscribers to
the telephone service are paying 40
per cent. more than subscribers at
other exchanges that are reported to
have nearly twice as many free con
nections. 1t does not appear to re
quire the wisdom of Solomon to know
that this is not right.
