SUPREME COURTS HEARING ON RATE
 CASES UNDER WAY
Argument in Railroad Case Completed, But Wire Toll Argument Is Continued
 Until Today
By Associated Press

Washington, May 5.-AuthOrity of the postmaster general to increase intra- state railroad. telegraph and telephone rates throughout the country was argued today in the supreme court in connection with appeals from prOceed- ings originating in a number of states. Hearing on the railroad case was fin ished today, hut arguments in the wire rate cases will not be concluded until tomorrow.
 The appeal in the railroad case came from North Dakota, while the telegraph and telephone rate cases arose from proceedings in South Dakota, Kansas. Massachusetts and Illinois. Briefs as amici curiae were filed in the two cases on behalf of the national association of railroad and public utility commits sioners, representing about 35 states, and separately by the states of Pennsyl- vania, Ohio and Wisconsin, the city of Detroit under the Protective Telephone association of Baltimore.
 The proceedings attracted wide at tention and attorney generals from many states were in the court room.
 CLAIM FULL AUTHORITY Arguments for the railroad administra- ton were made in the railroad case by John Barton Payne and Charles Don- nelly, while Frank F. Packard of Bis- mark, N. D.. and w. V. Tanner of Olym- pia, Wash. former attorney general of Washington. appeared for the North Dakota authorities In the telephone cases arguments were opened by So. licitor General King, who was followed by w. H. Hitchcock of Boston, assist ant attorney general of Massachusetts.
 Arguments in both cases today cen. tered principally upon the contention of the states that the governments ac- ton in fixing intrastate rates was al, interference with the state police pow CTS. Solicitor General King and MT. Payne denied this contention, but as serted that section 10 of the railroad control act, as well as the joint resolu- tion by which the government took over supervision of the wires clearly gave the president this authority.
 The solicitor general argued that in changing telegraph and telephone rates the postmaster general was acting on behalf of the public, as the corporations who own the wires through government control had ceased to operate them and acted solely as the governments agents. He accused the states bringing the pro- ceedings with attempting to interfere with government operation of these ia cilities. and asked for the dismissal of the wire cases on the ground that the. were suits brought against the govern ment without it's consent
