new RATES
ARE HIGHER
Little Shows Comparative
Charge For New and
Old Service:

In a letter received today by City
Attorney George A Bangs, Mr.. Lit
tie. rate expert OF the board Of rail-
road commissioners, making a COM
parison between the toll rates in
North Dakota and the new rates pro-
mulgated by the postmaster general,
to go into effect on January 81, Mr..
Little says:
Our analysis Of these changes
shows that the new station-to-station
rates for three-minutes' conversation
are % per cent higher than the pres
ent two-minute schedule. For the
'person-to-person service 1t is fifty.
n and one-half per cent higher than
the present rate; for the person-to.
person service with report charge
the new rates are IS Der cent higher
than those now in effect.
Taking the present charge for
three minutes. and Of which one min
ute would be overtime, the person-to-
person rate with one report charge
Is on an average Of rs per cent high
err; the three-minute charge with one
minute overtime cannot fairly be
compared with the three-minute basic
rate. The three-minute basic rate
would ordinarily be lower than the
three-minute charge Of which one
minute is overtime"

Filed By Companies

proceedings brought by the CONNER
cial and Commercial Pacific Gable
companies to enjoin Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson and Newcomb Carlton,
president Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, from merging their
lines with those of the Western Union
under federal control. were filed to-
day with Federal Judge Learned Hand
by counsel for both sides.
The companies brief. signed by
Charles E. Hughes and William W.
Cook, repeats claims made in argu-
ment before Judge Hand a few. days
ago.. 1t asserts that federal seizure Of
the cable lines after signing the armis-
tice was not needed for national Sc
'curity;" that the congressional resolu.
ton under which the seizure was
made was unconstitutional, and that
Mr.. Burleson is not the correct person
to determine compensation for the
lines. The governments brief con-
tends that the case is not within the
Jurisdiction of the court, as the United
States is a vital party and cannot be
sued. 1t also asserts that congress
had a right to authorize seizure of the
cables and that such action was nec-
essary for national security as
peace has not yet been concluded.
