colleges and strong addresses by sew
eral speakers and the appointment of

trustees of Is to handle the paper

of five has made it's recommenda-
tions. The deal is to be closed by
December 81.

was a waste The Relation of the
Southern Bell company with the
Western Electric company, which
acts as it's purchasing agent, was also
attacked as only another measure
used by the parent company to con-
troll and coerce it's subsidiary.
John J. McSwain, Of Greenville, at
torney for the chambers Of commerce,
did not put up any witnesses when
the company closed it's case with the
cross-examination of Mr.. Hoxsey yes
terday morning, contending that the
company had failed to make out it's
case. It's witnesses, he pointed out,
had admitted that there had been
decline in the price of the materials
which go into the construction and
maintenance of telephone systems.
This Mr.. McSwain said would neces-
sarily reduce the operating expenses.
Other representatives Of the cham
bers of commerce laid particular
stress on the strained financial con-
dition of the state, contending that
the proper course for the telephone
company to pursue was like all other
businesses, to take their losses, re-
trench and await a more favorable
time for their proposed expansion.
Request for Audit.
Mr.. McSwain requested the COM
mission to have an audit made of the
books of the company, and also an
efficiency survey made Of the entire
corporation to settle the question OF
waste, offered to pay for the audit
and survey, provided the commission
would put into effect the proposed
schedule of rates, the company to
make refund of the overplus to the
subscribers if the charges after in
vestigation were found exhorbitant.
This offer was refused by Chairman
Frank w. Shealy of the commission.
who explained that while there was
no appropriation provided for this
purpose, he would consult with the
governor to devise some way to have
the survey and audit made. Attorney
General Wolfe also offered. his as
sistance.
The commission, Mr.. Shealy said,
did not propose to authorize any in
crease for the purpose of increasing
wages of employees. The company
in an exhibit filed with the commits
sion contended further wage increase
must be made by the company during
1921, the increase for South Carolina
being at an annual rate Of $4,000.
The increase in rates was asked, MT.
Hoxsey explained, for the primary
purpose of raising it's earnings to
point above expenses, where it could
borrow money for proposed expan-
sion and maintenance.

NEW YORK, JAM. 30.-Sharp in
crease in premiums paid by auto
mobile owners for insurance against
theft and accident are to be announc-
ed shortly by the eastern conference
OF the National automobile under
writers, 1t was stated today in insur-
ance circles. Tho underwriters were
said to be wavering between an in
crease Of 40 per cent and one of so per
cent. .-
Automobile insurance men declare
that thefts and accidents have more
than doubled within the past few years
and that only a generous increase of
rates can save them from being forced
out of business. Owners Of auto
mobiles are blamed in part for the con-
clifton the assertion being made that
car owners who carry insurance sit
back and let the Insurance companies
