REHEARING IS GRANTED Exception Taken to landings of California Commission . That Workers Are Dependent tm. Benefactions of Public. SAN FRANCISCO, May 19. The Pull man Company's application for a fur ther hearing of the State Railroad Commission's investigation which led recently to sharp criticism of the com pany's method of paying employes was granted today and the applicant will be allowed to present evidence some time in July. The company took exception to the commission's finding that its employes were driven to depend 'largely on the benefactions of the traveling public for their livelihood. The commission's viewpoint that the company allows the tipping system to supply the differeiy.e between what it pays its workers and a living in come, thus imposing an unjust burden on 'the public, is based on misinforma tion, says the company in its applica tion for a reopening of the case.

"In no business does an employer pay his employes more than is de manded nor more than would be nec essary to secure other equally compe tent persons for the work," the peti tion recites.
