(Bv United PreSs.)

St, Paul, Nov. 6.-St. Paul and
southern Minnesota folks were max
ing a final assault on present tele-
phone rates today.
They went into a hearing with the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission, knowing the odds were
against them. Members of the rail-
road commission admitted the North
western and Tri-State telephone
companies have put up a stronger
case for the continuance of the rates
at this time, than they made during
the hearings last December. me
hearings at that time consumed a
week. 1t took the companies and
hour each to present their cases re-
Gently.
Today St. Paul DIRECTORS and OBJ
jectors from towns in the southern
half of the state were making their
"case' against the Tri-State COM
pany in which the commission pro-
posed to reduce the rates of the COM
pany to a pre-war basis.
Tomorrow, Duluth and towns In
the northern zone of the state Will
make their lease" against the North

Members of the railroad commits
sion originally proposed, they said,
to reduce telephone rates about No

dragged out until now theer Is no
hope of auction before Christmas
even IL the commission decides to re-
duce the rates. However, it is gen.
orally believed existing rates will
continue until probably next year,
when general rate revision is to be
proposed by the commission.

WORLD FIELD
OF LABOR MEET
Holland Says Conference
Must Understand Con-
ditions Abroad.

At the conference which is to be-
gin on Monday Of next week at
Washington and In which those
who have been. selected by Presi-
dent Wilson as the representatives
Of capital, of labor and of business
will take part. one Of the FIRST sug-
gestions which. according to good
authority. will be made. Is this.
namely, that IL the conference Is to
be of any value 1t must in the 1rst
place have before 1t a clear UNDER
standing, not merely Of the present
day friction between labor and capi-
tai. but also world wide conditions.
Will Discuss Europe.
Z Very likely 1t will be set forth at
the beginning of the conference
that not only in the actual field OF
labor and capital. but also in that
of world politics. world finance and
world industry a situation now ex-
lists which Ia without any precedent.
FIRST of all attention may be call
ed, certainly wilt De called in pri-
vate and informal discussion, to
certain conditions which now pre-
vail in Europe !
Financial Situation.
Then again the financial situation
which is peculiar and will remain pc
culiar for sometime must be under
stood IL there is to be satisfactory un-
derstanding between capital and
labor. Europe Is calling for credit
or other financial assistance from
the United States and there is no
well informed man who is not con-
WINGED that these calls are justified.
and that they must be met IL it is
possible to do SO. But exactly how
are they to be met? individuals
and corporations and banking insti-
tutions are to some extent answer
ing the call. Yet It is believed to be
inevitable that normal conditions
cannot be secured in Europe or in
Great Britain unless in some way
the United States government
sponsors, not necessarily guaran-
tees, very large financial assistance.
