Members of Six Bodies Say
Increases Planned Are
Unreasonable and Will BE
Undue Tax Oh the Public

CHICAGO, Jan. 13. 49, Declaring un-
constitutional the recent order of Post
master General Burleson providing for
an Increase in telephone rates, repre-
sentatives Of the Public Service COM
missions Of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Minnesota and Virginia,
at meeting to-day. protested against
this action as an encroachment of the
Federal government upon the power of
state commissions to regulate intra-
state rates.
Resolutions passed at the conference
declared that there is nothing in the
resolution of Congress authorizing the
Federal administration to assume pos
session Of the telephone and telegraph
systems, which justifes the Federal
administration "at this time in this
arbitrary manner to issue an order
which is in effect very substantial
increase in telephone rates both intra-
state ami interstate"
The resolutions also stated that the
increases which Grange from 20 to 200
per cent are unreasonable. excessive
and discriminatory" leading to undue
and uncalled for tax upon the public"
Postmaster General Burleson's order
Is to become effective January 21.
