PHDKE OPERATORS TO
RECEIVE WAGE BIS
Advance Is Made Effective as
of November 15.
RATE INCREASE AT ISSUE
Xublle Scrrlce Commission Without
Power to Slake Charges Retro
active Under Stat Law.
FALEM. Or, Nor. 29. (Special.)
Postmaster-General Burleson advised
the Publio Serrfce Commission by tel
erraoh today that ha baa made ef
fective as of November IS. an in
crease of wages for. telephone-operating;
employes of the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph Company and asks
the commission to make its forth
coming order increasing the telephone
rates retroactive so that the rates will
also apply as of that date to cover the
Increase In wares.
It waa pointed out at the com
mission's offices today that under the
statute the commission has no power to
make rates retroactive under the pub
lie utilities law and that part of the
Postmaster-General's request apparent
ly cannot be granted.
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. This should enable company to
comply with your order, but to avoid
loss by the Government request that
you fix November IS as date for going
