J. S. SuRR|E!:N!DERS Z: WIRES TO OWNERS
 AT MIDNIGHT
Higher Phone Remain Four Months Unless State Orders
 Reduction.

Washington, July 3O.-Government
 control of telegraph and telephone
 properties will end at midnight to- morrow night. Orders for their re-
 turn to private owners were issued
 today by Postmaster General Burl-
 son as required under resolution
 adopted by congress and signed by
 President Wilson ten days ago.
 Mir. Burlesons in statement ac- 'companying his order, said sound
 public opinion ultimately would de-
 termine ,"how. this trust has been
 met" and that he was content to
 abide by the result Besides this re-
 ply to criticisms of his management
 of the wire companies, the post
 master general also took a parting
 shot at the Postal Telegraph com
 pany, most of the officers of which were removed several months ago be- cause of what he termed interference with government managemnt.
 The postmaster general did not mention the company by name, but said that "with one notable excep- tion, the reason for. which is thor oughly understood by those who have hcPC CNCly WllC SOIA PuIAy had given him loyal cooperation. Under the resolution of congress
 directing the return of the companies, government fixed intrastate tele- phone rates are to remain in force for period of four months, unless sooner changed by state commits sions, but no provision was made as
 to telegraph rates. e
 Clarence H. Mackay, president of 1 the Postal company, in urging con gress to provide for speedy return : of the properties, said his company cold reduce rates 20 per cent, and still earn a profit.
 Thds statement was recalled today ] in connection with the return of the properties and rate war between lthe telegraph companies was viewed in some quarters as possibility. Telegraph rates were increased ap- lproximately 20 per cent. last March to meet increased salaries of opera tors and other employees and rising .'costs of materials.
