Interesting Report Made BY Solicitor Of National

case. This has not been done. Ian |
this significant OF an intention on the
part Of congress to Withhold the rate
making power from the president IN
case Of the wire systems?"
II is apparent that the court has re-
ceived a clear picture with respect to
the railroads and wires, II Is the i'm
preston or those who attended the
argument, as we'll al Of those who par
ticipated In Il, that the government
will lose the wire cases, and that the
railroad case rs very debatable.
The court adjourned until May IL.
and during this time will not even re-
ceive petitions for writs OF certioraTi
or otherwise. II is expected that a
decision may be handed down upon
that date, or at least before the adj
journment on June 10 for the summer
vacation.
At our conference in Chicago, and
in consultation with members OF the
state commissions who have been
here this week, It Is learned that the
postmaster general is seeking to inn
pose exchange rates in different parts
OF the country. The equities In favor
OF camplete state regulation OF ex-
change rates are very much stronger
than in the case Of toll rates. There
are over 10000 telephone companies
in the country and practically all Of
the exchanges perform a strictly To-
cal service.
The tendency OF these cases in the
United States supreme court has thus
far not deferred the postmaster gem
sral from attempting TO Impose these
exchange rates,
hope your commission has received
The eight copies Of the briefs filed by
rs in the railroad and telephone cases.
Very respectfully submitted.
