BILLS
WILL Be PRESSED
TOEARLYH HEARING

Early consideration OF the bin for
the Government ownership of the
telephone system OF the District and
for the Government ownership OF the
street railways Will be urged in the
House. These are tho two bills which,
to the surprise OF opponents OF pub
lie ownership, were reported out of
the House District Committee.
Chairman johnson, OF the House
District Committee, said today he in
tended TO secure early consideration
of his bill in the House II possible,
u" can get the hill up next District
day, April s. if not before. 1t would
be possible To consider it under a
special rule.
Congressman Crosser also plans to
press his bill for tho public owner
ship OF the street railways. Indica-
tion5 are both bills Will be forced
to vote in the House this session.
The opposition TO Government owner
ship, of course, will tight them to the
limit.
The Johnson bill for the ownership
OF telephones applies also to the tele-
graphs.
Declaration in the report on the
Johnson bill. filed by Congressman
Hilliard, that an initial rate of
cents per message would be given the
public and an ultimate rate of cent
under public ownership is causing
much favorable comment on the plan
TO have the Government take over
the telephone property.
