It was also, pointed out that the Postmaster-General apparently is la boring under the assumption that the commission's hearing on the Increases will be purely perfunctory in character, held only for the purpose of legalizing the rates under the state statutes and that the commission will take nothing else Into consideration. "If that is the attitude or the Post w master-General, and apparently It Is. it Is the furthest from the commission's idea, said Commissioner Corey. "The commission will hold this hearing exactly as It holds every other hear ing and will go into the merits of the proposed increases and as to whether or not they are justified. We made this plain in our latest telegram to the Postmaster-General." Phone Company Silent. The telegram received from Mr. Burleson today, which indicates that the Postmaster-General believes the commission will hold merely a per functory hearing to legalize the rates under the state statutes. Is as follows: "Advised by the telephone company ef date set by your commission for hearing and of your order to company relative to providing necessary skilled operators to meet requirements of service to public Have directed that new schedule of wages put Into ef fect November 15, in anticipation of increased rates be continued tempo rarily.
