STATE BATTLES
MOVE TO CALL
COMMISSIONERS
Challenge Right of Phone
Firm to Subpoena State
Officials.

Right to subpoena public service
commissioners as witnesses in feder-
al court cases involving commission
orders is to be challenged by the
state in federal district court here.
The case in which all but one
member of the Indiana public serv-
ice commission was subpenaed today
is the injunction suit of the South
ern Indiana Telephone and Tele-
graph Company which got under
way in federal court before three
judges this morning.
George w. Hufsmith, deputy at
torney- general, representing the
commission, said he will attempt to
thwart efforts to place commission
ers on the witness stand.
He contends that in writing orders
they are performing functions sim
liar to that of judges and the
orders must speak for them, with
out any personal appearance OF
commissioners.
Written by Mcintosh
The order involved in the case
was written by Commissioner Calvin
Mcintosh in refusing $4,000 in rate
increase provided in a rejected order
written by Commissioner Jere West
Commissioner Howell Ellis, who
agreed with the West order, was not
subpeaned as a witness. But Chair
man John w. McCardle Of the COM
mission and Commissioner Frank
Singleton, who joined in the McIn-
toSh order, were called, together with
Fest and Mcintosh.
All were on hand to take the stand
if Hufsmith's fight proves unSuccess-
full.
1850 to Be Affected
This morning was spent in intro
duction of evidence for the COM
pany in form Of affdayits presented
by Attorney James Noll. An Indi-
ana Bell Telephone order passed by
the commission in 1926, setting out
valuations in somewhat the same
territory, was introduced to support
the rate increase contention.
Increases would affect some 1880
subscribers Of the company in thirty
southern Indiana towns and cities
No attempt is being made in fed
eral court to uphold the personal
expenditures of President L. G
Griffith of the company, which in
Guided $42.5O daily hotel bill in
Chicago, Noll told the court.
Effort is being made TO hold 1925
as a normal year" for company
operation costs.
Their property valuation is set out
as $1,800,000 and commission engi-
neer figures, upon which the dis
credited West order was based, was
but $4,000 less.
Denies Campaign Effect
The company contends that t.N
increases will give them but 4 per
cent return, while z per cent was
upheld by the United States SUI
preme court.
Majority commissioners cite 48
per cent increase in revenues be-
tween 1927 and 1928, show that
thirty-three individual rate cases
were heard and that the blanket
raise is unwarranted at this time, in
their opinion.
Chairman McCardle denied to the
press that the G. o. P. campaign
had anything to do with his refusing
rate increases now.
Judges sitting in the case are

trict; Thomas Slick, South Bend

RAILROAD MERGERS
Urged By Finance Protest
ed By Switchmen's
Chief

Buffalo, N. Y-"Railroad consoli-

largely to aid financiers and promot-
ers," declared President Cashen, of
the Switchmen's Union of North

"As representatives of railroad la
bor," said Mr.. Cashen, 1--WE know that
economically efficient operation be-
comes more difficult as railroad
system expands beyond the effective
control of a single head; when divi-
sions have been heightened; when
terminals and other facilities have
been moved
Consolidation losses amount to
millions of dollars-losses of employ
ment which have affected more than
100000 employees and losses through
part time employment which have af-
fected almost all railroad employees,
with the public gain in many cases a
questionable matter"
President Cashen insists that these
mergers should not be permitted un-
less provision is made to protect the
public and mLloyes, with special re-
gard for losses of employment, re-
duction of property values because of
removal of terminals, and irregular
employment.
The trade unionist shows how the
abandonment of terminals and divi-
sion points destroy entire communi-
ties and thereby affect not only work
ers but every other citizen.
