Service Commission Puzzled
Over Problem of Pay
.ment.
HEARINGS LASTED YEAR
Attorneys Generals Ruling
That Public Must Pay
Is Questioned,

The public service commission to-
day was wondering how to apportiOn
the s52.295.45 cost of conducting the
Indiana Bell Telephone Company rate
hearings.
The attorney generals office gave
an opinion which was interpreted by
I. C. Loughry, secretary of the com
mission, to mean that the public would
have to pay costs in instances where
rates were increased and the COM
pany where rates were decreasd.
The commission discovered a stat
Ute which it believes means that the
utility must pay all the costs within
twenty days after an order is issued,
so it sent the question back to the
attorney general.
The hearings extended over more
than a year, eliminating a few weeks
ago in an order increasing rates in
most Indiana Bell exchanges and on
Bell long distance lines in the State.
Rates were untouched, or lowered in
a few minor instances. The company.
dissatisfied, went to Federal Court
and got temporary order increasing
the commissions new schedules in
twelve cities, including Indianapolis
:. and on long-distance lines.

MEETS
WITH OPERATORS
Direct Bargaining Maybe Near in Anthracite Strike Crisis
Further Sessions Are Scheduled

/ reiterated the statement they havs
not changed their position. but would
listen to what the Governor had to
say and present theiF case.
He conferred with the miners rep
resentatives late yesterday. His meet
ing with the owners today is to hear
their side and ascertain precisely how
far they will go toward meeting the
miners demand for 20 per cent
wage increase and other concessions.
This is Pinchot's program:
l. Ascertain the utmost each side
will concede.
2. Communicate this information
to neither side until he has worked
out an impartial basis of settlement.
8. Go to the parties with this
impartial solution and say, take it
or have the State of Pennsylvania
working against you both"
Compromise Sought
This impartial basis of settlement
might be for the operators to agree to
nominal increase in wagers and the
miners to drop their demands for a
check off. This would be compro-
mise which might be worked out, it is
admitted by authorities at the con-
ference.
Pinchot found the miners somewhat
suspicious of what he might be lead
ing them into. but he was successful
enough to persuade them to come
back for another conference. 1t Is
known the miners did not weaken
from their position, but their agree
ment to come back was seen as a
more or less hopeful sign
Check-Off Opposed
He finds the operators ready to talk
business, ready perhaps to grant a
slight increase. but willing to fight
against the check-off to the last ditch.
Politicians from every corner of the
State are here ready to take advan-
tage Of any situation to wreck Pin
chot's chances Of increasing his pres
tige. Some came here for that pur-
pose and they would feel greatly en-
couraged II he should fail in his pres
ent effort to work out basis of agree
ment.
In the face Of these new Difficult
ties Pinchot is maintaining what he
terms golden silence" He is not
telling either side what the other tells
him; he has instructed both sides to
make no statements to the newspaper
men and he Is giving out no inferen-
tial statements himself.

But let Mrs. Binger tell her own
story.
II want to say first that my hus-
band and myself are the happiest peo
pie in the world.
ITS true that we might do more
for our children If we had more money,
but we are happy just as we are.
THE youngsters mean more to us

up. Watching them happy at play is
better than the best movie I ever saw.

And caring for the number of young

well, and II the Good Lord wants me
to bring more of them into the world

I'VE buy only the plainest of food,
but that is the healthiest kind. We
take our pleasure outdoors in the
Iark, and that is good for US.
I'VE don't mies the hectic pleasures
that some people have to have to en-

THE pipe that my husband smokes
is as much pleasure to him as the

5 l believe we have very good set
of traffic rules in indianapolis as far
as they go, and I would not make
any change in them except on streets
having no car lines, would permit
rs degree parking. and then L would
bdd to the rules now in effect that
I'VE have colored light in the towers to
designate traffic north, south. east
fand west as at present, and in addition
thereto have vari-colored lights to
designate move for pedestrians, auto
mobiles, and street cars. This would
prevent accidents to pedestrians going
north or south by automobiles from
north or south making right turn TO
east or west, or vice versa
Also place a gong in traffic towers
to be sounded from four. to eight
seconds prior to change in traffic,
! thereby notifying every one that
change is to be made in traffic and
direction, then by the sound of the
gong and color of the lights dis
layed every one would. know exactly
what move is to be made in time to
prevent accident and prepare to meet
ali moves. Prevent speeding by
revoking license.
