Commission.

Regional committee No. : of the
national committee on the condition
of public utilities, representing the
National Electric Light association,
the American Railway association. the
American Gas institute and the Ma
tional Gas association. in company
with Herbert w. Jackson. president of
the Virginia rust company, of Rich
mond, presented yesterday an appeal
TO the state corporation commission
for the general increase of rates for
all public utilities in the state.
Members of the committee, includ-
ing Mr., Jackson, urged upon the com
mission the present seriousness of the
rate status as related to the enormous
iy increased prices of labor and sup
plies. drawing special attention to the
possibly calamitous consequences that
might follow for lack of relief from
the present inadequacy of rates neces-
sary TO maintain the public utilities,
The attitude of President Wilson and
Secretary NcAdoo was emphasized in
the discussion in view of their state
ment that the situation afforded
ground for the most serious considerN
alton.
