Long-Distance Phone
Rate Cut Of $500,000
Is Due May |
New Charge Is Result
Of Agreement Between
&c. G. and A. T. ct.

Iong-distance telephone rate re-
ductions amounting to almost half
million dollars month will become
effective not later than May l, the
Federal Communications Commits
sion announced today. The pro-
posed new rates are the result of an
agreement between the Federal
regulatory body and the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co.
As an illustration of the proposed
reductions, the commission an
nounced that the new rate between
Washington and Chicago would be
$1.65 for 3 minutes in the daytime,
as against $185 now. The proposed
new schedules. it was said, will apply
to airline mileages beginning with
420 miles and extend through the
maximum, which is 5000 miles.
The proportionate reduction, the
commission said, is increased with
airline mileage so that the greatest
reduction is at the maximum
mileage represented approximately
by the rates from New York to
San Francisco. For example, it
was explained, the new schedules
will reduce the station station
day rate between New York and
San Francisco from $640 to 81 for
the three-minute period.
The proposed saving, estimated
to be approximately $5,500,0O0 an
nually, will benefit principally COM
mercial users of the long distance
telephone.
Late last January Commissioner
Paul A. Walker recommended that
the commission take action looking
to $10,000,000 reduction in the
rates. He was named to conduct
the inquiry and, it was said, in the
ensuing discussions with the tele-
phone company representatives
'called attention to the improved
earnings of the company last year.
The commission said it is expected
that the increased business de-
veloped as result of the impending
reduction announced today will
affect the revenues of the company
less than this amount and will leave
the company in a favorable position
