House Committee Report Asks
Interstate Rate Control
for Board.
Special DespafcA to TIE sux.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Hope that the
coming railroad legislation will vest in
the Interstate Commerce Commission
rate liking control over wire systems do
ing an interstate business 10 expressed In
the formal report Of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee on the bill repeal
ing Government control Of telephone and
telegraph wires Consideration OF the
wire control bill will be taken up in the
House tomorrow and the bill probably
will be passed speedily.
The report says in connection with
rate liking: "As the President has ad-
vised Congress that he would turn back
the railroads at the end of the present
year, 1t Is hoped that in the proposed
railroad legislation provision can be
made TO give to the Interstate Com
merce Commission more complete regu-
iatory power over wire systems doing an
Interstate business. 90 when the six
months period provided for in the above
amendments to this act expire the COM
mission will have authority to act upon
rate and other matters without leaving
what might otherwise be an embarrass-
ing and confusing interval"
The report explains that by having the
act 60 In effect at the end of the month,
on which the President signs the bill
rather than on the exact date Of his
approval. accounting by various COM
panies returned will be much simplified
and unnecessary expense avoided.
The report explains why the present
rates are extended for six months in
stead OF the ninety day period provided
in tho Senate bill
Your committee believed that the
period OF ninety days contained in the
Senate act too short to permit the com
mission or regulatory body to pass on
the hundreds of applications which would
be flied In view of the differing REQUIRE
ments and conditions in the several
States. as in Ohio. where before an
application can be passed upon valuation
must be made. or in Michigan, where
the municipality must join with the COM
pany in making the application"
In explaining the extension from sixty
days to ninety days for the time re-
CURED for the President to make his
report on Government control of wire
communication the report said that sixty
days would be insufficient.

operation Is anticipated. Thus far no
objection has been raised or sustained to
the further development of our plans of
coordination. The fact Is that every
one should benefit at nobody's expense.
Undigested Liberty bonds, provided the
proper machinery for enabling European
countries to buy goods in the United
States and to pay for them is set up,
will get digested with ease. The Ameri-
can producer will get cash for his prod

prefers them. and the American investor
will have an opportunity to invest in an
attractive security. to be sold on busi-
ness basis. The programme. however. u
stin incornpletely worked out and much
remains to be done before our industrial
and financial resources are coordlnated."
