each. Similar testimony was given by
Mrs. Lowe and Charles Adams. Other
witnesses who were called were Mr.. Hood

troduced during the latter part of Mon
day afternoon in the states case which

ence was read along similar lines,

WASHINGTON, Aug. W.-Gov-
ernmcnt ownership and operation OF
the railroads as a solution OF the
p critical transportation problem now
confronting the country was strong
ly advocated by William Jennings
Bryan before the house interstate
commerce committee.
Mr.. Bryan said he was not pre-
pared TO directly indorse or disap-
prove the Plumb plan for iationaliza-
ton OF the railroads. He thought
several features OF 1t we're danger
Gus. But rather than see the roads
turned back TO their private owners
he would favor the Plumb scheme
Asked il he thought electric lines
also should be owned by the govern
,ment. he replied that "'hey might as
,well be included too" The time is
mot yet ripe. however for extension
OF the policy to mines. he said
THE big proposition" Mr. Bryan
told the committee, is whether the
railroads shall be owned by private
corporations or by the public. | am
for public ownership and operation
because the railroad business is a
monopoly and private monopoly Is
indeicnNblc and in,olerable.

PLAN TO INCREASE
PHONE RATES SEEN
Government Control Will
Cripple Wire Companies,
Reynolds Charges.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Edward Rey-
nolds Of New York, who recently was
relieved of his duties as vce-president
and general manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company by Postmaster
General Burleson, told the House Post
Office Committee to-day that the only ex-
cuse for the Government retaining con-
troll over telephone and telegraph COM
panies was ito increase telephone rates
to finance crippled telephone companies"
Mr.. Reynolds appeared to oppose the
Administration measure contemplating
extension of the period of control and
possible Government purchase of the
wires. Protests against the legislation
also were fled with the committee for
several State public service commissions
and by +. w. Putnam, a member OF the
Minnesota commission.
Mr.. Reynolds said that ito utilize the
Government control for increasing tele-
phone rates. as Is now being done by the
Postmaster General, is assuming au-
thorlty that Congress did not confer
upon the Postmaster General" and de-
clared that efforts are now being made
to increase telegraph charges
"Mr. Burlcson's operating committee
consisting OF n Western Union man. two
Bell Telephone men and one independent
telephone man." the witness declared
has within the last few days tried 10
get the Postal Telegraph Company tc
agree to increased telegraph rates and
the Postal company has refused. II the
Government will turn back at once the
Postal Telegraph lines we will continue
to carry on the telegraph business al
present rates.
The witness accused the Postmaster
General. Theodore n. Vail and Newcomt
Carlton. president of the Western Union
company. OF seeking TO consolidate all
telegraph. telephone and possibly cable
lines into one huge monopoly" and said
there Is no good reason why all the lines
should not be turned back at once and
the loss now sustained by the Govern
ment in their operation stopped.
The idea that a great consolidatlon
and the wiping out OF competition and
the grant OF subsidies for new cables will
oonfer great benefits upon tho American
public Is put forw ard to deceive. oSuch
combination would impose a hardship
upon the public without giving 1t sin.
gle advantage"
Mr.. Reynolds said Postmaster Genera
Burleson had discharged him as a Posta
official because he sought to prevent
Mr.. Burleson's plan for consolidation OF
wire companies He also declared hi:
company refused to accept the com.
rensation award OF s1.6s0,00o made by
the PostInaster-Generalb because the com.
pany earned s4,269,O00 in tho calender
