CONTINUES ITS ORDER
Pennsylvania Court Enioins New
Telephone Rates.
Preliminary Injunction Will Remain In
Force Until Final Hearing Has
Been Held.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 4.-The state
of Pennsylvania won its second fight
in the injunction proceedings to pre-
vent Postmaster General Burleson, act
ing as the federal operating agent of
the Bell Telephone company, from
raising telephone ra us in the state.
Judge Kunkel of the Dauphin coun-
ty courts handed down an opinion in
which he continues until final hear
ing has been held the preliminary in
junction granted against the Bell
company at the preliminary hearing.
The case is reckoned as one of the
most important ever listed in the
Pennsylvania courts. Ii involves the
right of federal authorities to override
state statutes in the matter of fixing
public service rates. By the opinion
handed down the Bell company is re-
strained from putting into effect the
telephone schedules promulgated by
Mr. Burleson and which the Bell COM
pany was ordered to put into effect in
violation of the laws of Pennsylvania

DELAY IS DANGEROUS
Senator Harding DepIores Slow
ness in Making Peace.
Believes Germany Is Taking Advant-
age of Anarchy in Russia to Be-
come Dominant There.

Washington, April 4.-Senator War
in a statement urged the necessity
for a prompt peace settlement, de-
claring it was impossible longer to
ignore the serious concern of our peo-
pie over delayed peace"
THE delay and the drift have car
ried us apparently to a recognition Of
the Bolshevik destroyers in Russia, ="
Senator Harding stated. Not only is
Bolshevik destructiveness to be coun-
tenanced in fallen Russia, but the
world will awaken pretty soon to the
fact that Germany is dominent there
and has expanded infinitely more
through revolution and delay than it
was expected to accomplish by force
of arms"
Senator Harding declared that the
secrecy surrounding the consideration
of the proposed league of nations plan
in Paris was 'regrettable."
The original draft is doomed here
if not buried at Paris" he said 1T
is regrettable that we know so little in
the face of the solemn pledge of open
covenants openly arrived at We are
astonished to read of threatened ex.
posures of hindering influences, and
my own reluctant impression is that
the Peace conference is not getting
anywhere with actual accomplish
ments | doubt if we have any serious
proposal for a league with the treaty
of peace, for which peace treaty all
the world is calling"
