would not consider any reclassifica-

how many Arnold drivers were reg

sidered reclassifying the drivers.
The board will take no steps in

Hotels Here Challenge

Slash Phone CHARGES
Mccoy Informs Court
D. G. Places Are Billed
On Size of Switchbourds

Additional witnesses were to be
heard today in District Court before
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue in the
injunction suit brought by the Fed
eral Communications Commission to
stop hotels from making extra
charges on long distance telephone
calls.
The FEC suit names ~ hotels, the
American Telegraph e. Telephone
Co. and the Chesapeake e. Potomac
Telephone Co. as defendants.
Shortly after the trial of the case
began yesterday David E. Mccoy,
general commercial manager Of the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co., took the stand.
MIR. Mccoy explained that hotels
are billed for telephone service in
accordance with the size Of SWITCH
boards and the number of branches.
He said that after the FEC had
ordered the telephone company to
file new tariff rates the company had
offered TO credit the hotels on the
bills In the amount Of IS per cent
|of the total charges If the hotels
agreed not to make additional
charges to regular guests or tran
|sients-ov over and above the regular
tSiephone rate. Only one of the
hotels. however, agreed 10 this, he
said. and then only temporarily.
Another witness, L. Gardner
Moore, manager of the Slloreham
Hotel, testified that the average ati-
ditional charge to a person making
a long distance telephone call from
the hotel was 10 per cent.
The hotels, through their attorney
Joseph G. McGarraghy, claim that
the extra charges are for service and
are not telephone toll charges. Mr..
McGarraghy pointed out that the
hotels have to hire their own tele-
phone operators.
Another. court action is pending
on extra charges made by hotels
for local and nearby calls. In this
connection, ~ hotels filed a plea
Tuesday asking District Court to set
aside an order of the Public Utilities
Commission which forbids the extra
charges on the local calls.
