TELEPHONE
HEARING IS
K POSTPONED
New Toll Arrangement,
Taking Effect Tomorrow,
is Involved.

Word has been received here to the
effect that the hearing on the increase
OF rates asked by the Northwestern
n Independent telephone compan-
les. and other North Dakota sub
salaries Of the Bell system, which
was originally set for January 20, has
been postponed. owing to the fact
ger. following the example Of Nebras-
ka. and several other states, has
brought action into the federal court
to restrain telephone companies from
putting into effect the new telephone
rates that are to go into effect tomor-
row. The litigation is in the form
OF an injunction and the application
heard before Judge Charles F. Ami
don at Fargo on his return from St.
Louis about February Is.
h grounds for application by the
attorney general are that the postmas.
ter general is without any authority
over the telephone rates, either to
raise or decrease them. where the
! ton was instituted in Nebraska inn
mediately after receipt of the notice
by Postmaster General Burleson that
the increased rates would be made.
In view of the fact that the power
Of the railroad commission to grant
the increase asked for by the North
western Telephone company is direct
ly involved and must be decided in
the attorney generals litigation be-
fore Judge Amidon. it was agreed be-
fore the railroad commission by the
attorney for the Northwestern and the
attorney general, that the application
for increase of rates. should be post
poned until decision by Judge Ami
dor has been rendered. This agree
men "a made OF January 8.
The Nebraska ase of the Lincoln
Telephone and Telegraph company
consists in the asking for a permanent
injunction against the collection Of
the postmaster generals schedule of
charges for the purpose of securing
a court decision on the power of the
government under the act Of congress
to fix rates for service wholly within
a state. This is the only case, SO far
as known, where the jurisdiction and
power have been challenged. and it
has attracted wide attention from at
torneys n state public utility COM
missions throughout the country.
