14 TITE MORNING ONI AN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1019, Pffl E TO 'SUB FORM CLUB T Legality of New Rates in Portland Investigated. COMPANY EXPLAINS RISE W. J. Phillips Declares Probe Will Reveal Necessity for Making Advance in Rentals. Hearing of the telephone rate case will be resumed by the public serv ice commission at the Multnomah county courthouse at 1:30 P. M. today, on the action initiated by the com mission and which on August 28 was adjourned to a future date. It is an ticipated that the testimony may be completed tomorrow and that the final decision as to whether or not the so-called Burleson rates, made ef fective July 29, shall be set aside in favor of new rates to be fixed by the commission. In compliance with the request of the commission at the previous ad journment, the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company furnished a large amount of information covering pay rolls, cost of operation, maintenance and changes in revenues due to vari ous rate adjustments and modifica tions that had occurred preceding the establishment of the new rates. The company will be represented by James T. Shaw, chief counsel, of San Francisco, and C. H. Carey, coun sel here. . Chairman Buchtel of the public service commission was in the city yesterday and Commissioners Corey and Williams will also be present so that the hearing will be before the full commission. Legality of Rates Investigated. The hearing called by the commis sion was instituted under an order to investigate "the legality and reason ableness of all the rates and charges, rules and regulations of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company for exchange telephone service rendered entirely within the state of Oregon." The telephone properties of the coun try came under government control August 1. 1918, as a war measure. In November of that year the postmaster-general promulgated a schedule of rates, but following protests collec tion of these rates w.s not made. May 1 of this year the public service commission approved increased rates providing much less revenue than the so-called Burleson rates. On July 29, 1919, the company announced that the rates of the postmaster-general announced in November, 1918, had been put in effect under an order is Bued July 22. This schedule was protested by the city of Portland and other municipal ities of the state and an extended controversy ensued as to whether the official order had been issued at "Washington. Thereafter the commi sion, on its own motion, started the hearing. W. J. Phillips Makes Statement. W. J. Phillips, division commercial superintendent of the telephone com pany at Portland, when asked yester day for a preliminary statement as to the company's position, said: "We welcome a thorough investiga tion of telephone rates. If they are ' open to question it is as much for insufficiency as the contrary. In these last few months of changing conditions the cost of telephone op erations has steadily advanced owing to increased cost of material and labor. The public has realized the necessity of paying more for rent, food, clothing, transportation and all commodities. The telephone industry has been affected by the same condi tions which have produced higher prices in all necessities of life. "The public wants good service and good service is dependent upon rev enue. The company must have suf ficient revenue to purchase and main tain the best equipment; to keep an efficient personnel, satisfied with its compensation. It must bo able to pay its interest and dividends in order to secure capital for extensions and improvements, which cannot be paid for out of revenue, but must be provided through new money. Wage Increase Is Cited. "In the present industrial situa tion the public is especially interested in the wage question. To meet this situation the Pacific Teelphone & Telegraph company has increased wages to its Oregon employes to the extent of upwards of three quarters of a million dollars annually, by far the greater part of this increase be ing within the past year. This wage increase alone, without considering the other increased costs of carrying on business,' far exceeds the relief afforded by the commission order of May 1. 1919, approximately a quarter of a million dollars annually, and in fact, is not met by the rates now in force. "If the present rates had been in effect for the entire year 1919 the net return to the company in Ore gon would have been less than 3 per cent. "This is not a fair rate of return. Commissions over the country have varied, allowing utilities from 6 to 10 per cent on their plants. The Cali fornia commission has allowed 7.7 per cent on a telephone investment. Both Nebraska and Maryland have allowed 8 per cent. "We trust, however, with a basis established in the present hearing, with the development of possible economies, with settled labor condi tions and increased volume of busi ness that the situation may improve. "Our figures have been carefully compiled and are being closely checked by the commission experts. "We wish to pay the highest wages possible so as to attract and hold efficient employes. Our earnings must be such as to interest the in vestor on account of the safety, con vertibility and assured return from our securities. Our aim is to give good telephone service and this is im possible without proper revenues." Coos River Land to Be Diked. MARSHFIELD. Or., Nov. 11. (Spe cial.) J. O.
