The report Of the commission shows the
following number Of employees in each
department, including the department
heads: engineering. thirteen; accounting,
twelve; inspection, six; tariff, two; .erv-
ice, two; library, two. Besides these a
total Of twenty-one stenographers, re-

Concerning the organization Of the
service department the report says;
The service department has consisted
Of only one temporary employe until
the last two weeks when n stenographer
has been added. In June three inspec-
tors Of telephone service were employed
for few days at total cost. including
travelling expenses. Of less than $40,
In other words, the department which IS
expected TO see that consumers receive
the service for which they are paying
Is the smallest in the organization.
Speed is apparently the object of the
accounting department from the tone OF
the report 1T viii be noted" it says.
that the efficiency and speed Of this
department has increased 20 aNhigh de-
gree during the past year. During the
first four years the average speed was
2.e6 audits per month. while during the
past year the average has risen TO 2S.92
auditS per month"
KEEP CLOSE TAB
SPEED PER MONTH.
1t Is significant that while the com
mission has no tabulation of rate in
creases. It has tabulated to the smallest
fraction the speed per month at which Il
makes audits and goes to the trouble Of
giving this highly important Information
TO the public.
The tariff department sums up its &C
tiyities In this way:

tiers connected with rates and rate ad-
tustments OF the steam and interurban

influence to the securing of equipment

were urgent A great many new enter

SOVIET POLICY
MAY KILLPLAN
OF us. SENATOR
J. I. France, Bent on Study of
Russian Conditions, Beset
by Difficulties.

BERLIN, June 16.-The "cold shoulder
toward the United States may prevent
United States Senator Joseph I. France or
Maryland from carrying out his plan to
study Russian conditions at close range
Senator Frances request for passports
to go into Russia has not been definitely
refused, but delay has developed and it
is pointed out that the Moscow soviet
has constructed a veritable Chinese wall
around the country shutting it(of com
pIeteIy from the rest of the world. AL
ready passports have been refused to
several other Americans. but whether an
exception will be made in the case Of the
Senator is not yet apparent.
Senator France denied a report from
Riga that the soviet government had re-
fused tofallow him to enter Russia. Sen
ator France pointed out that he had come
10 Berlin from London and had not yet
been in Riga. While in London the Sen
ator called on Leonid Krassin, head OF
the Russian Bolshevist trade mission and
asked his assistance in getting into Rus
STA. Later he decided to come to Berlin
and endeavor to get his passport vised
by the soviet envoy to Germany During

comforting with persons conversant with
Industrial conditions in Russia to get
line on the situation.
Should Senator France eventually get
the desired permission to enter soviet
Russia he probably will have the Ger
mans to thank IN no small measure. The
Senator is said to be keenly disappointed
over the turn affairs have taken, but has
not given up hope.
The Moscow government has refused to
allow william H. Johnston, president OF
the International Machinist's Union; Her
man Bernstein and Lincoln Steffens to
enter Russia. Mr.. Johnston has returned
to Berlin from Riga where he was off
ciaIly informed of the decision Of the
Russian government.

OF
PUBLIC SERVICE
BODY SCORED
Housewives League Speaker
Points to Lack of Technical
knowledge.

Members OF the Housewives League Of
Indianapolis raped the public service
commission sharply yesterday afternoon
at the called meeting Of the organiza-
tion held in the parlors of the Fletcher
American Bank.
There is not a technical man on the
public service commission" said Mrs.
Thomas Gardner. 1T seems to me that
it is as absurd for a board on public
utilities to be made up Of non-technical
men, the majority being lawyers at pres
ent. as it would be for the State to hire
engineers as legal advisers.
"What do lawyers know about engin-
eering? How can a man without work
ing knowledge of engineering pass on
that line of work prOperly?"
EXCITED DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS ATTACK.
An excited discussion as to the char
acter and working methods Of the CON-
mission followed Mrs. Gardeners re-
marks Mrs. w. II. Hart, chairman
said that she would appoint a committee
70 call on the Governor and protest
against further appointments to the
board Of men without technical training
Mrs Hart brought up the ice ques-
ton. which had anything but cooling
effect upon the body of women. She
to the extreme high price of ice, in which
she stated that with coal 80 per cent
cheaper than in 1920. costing only S1.25
a ton for the kind being used for the
manufacturing Of ice, and the drop in
labor, the ice company had raised the
price of fee more than so per cent. In
1919. with cost of labor and coal sky
high. one Of the ten big ice manufactur
ing plants sold ice at 35c hundred and
cleared $4,000, and the investment in
all the ice plants of the city is but
$500, 600. she declared.
Her report. she stated, was based on
statements made to her by a former head
of one Of the big ice manufactures Of
the city. However, Stanley Wycorr'
executive secretary of the Indiana Ice
Dealers Association declared ice sold for
IS cents at that time and that the cost
Of manufacture was far higher now than
at that time.
DEMAND GREATER
THAN SUPPLY.
indianapolis does not produce enough
ice during the summer to take care of
the demand he said Enough ice has to
be laid away during the winter and
spring to satisfy the hot weather needs.
1t would be impossible to sell ice at
IS cents a hundred when it costs from
20 cents to so cents to deliver from the
platform to the house and the increase
in producing and hauling coal has in
creased 30 cents on the ton since last
season. The wholesale cost Of distribu-
ton is 10 cents and cost Of manufacture
is about s. a ton"
Members Of the league suggested that
the lack of sufficient supply was another
method to keep the price up. Mrs. Hart
named a committee headed by Mrs. q.
NJ Gardner. to investigate carefully tbe
conditions Mrs. Emma Fesler and AI1s.
Elizabeth Kuhns viii serve with Mrs.
Gardner.
