PHONE RATE INJUNCTION
IN new YORK is UPHELD

The federal district court injunc-
tion against temporary rates pre-
scribed by the public service commits
sion for telephone service in New
York state was upheld yesterday BY
the Supreme Court.
The temporary rates complained OF
were to have taken effect April !.
1922. The New York public service
rommi ssion insisted that the federal
courts were without jurisdiction, as
serting the company should have first
applied to the commission for re-
view. and then entered the New York
state courts for remedial action. The
state contended that the practice of
directly into the federal courts. had
the effect of paralyzing the commits
sion by holding up rates fixed by ii.
The company asserted that the case
had become moot. because the COM
mission had on January 25 last an
nounced its schedule of permanent
telephone rates, which had recognized
the soundneSs of the company'S COM
plant by providing an increase i'll its
old rates to the extent of giving it
S5.000.000 more revenue than would
have been earned under the tempo
rary rates.
The supreme Court held that il was
not necessary for the company to
apply to the commission for ii rehear-
ing before applying TO the federal
court to set aside what the company
contended We're confiScatory rates.
