HAN 5000 VOTERS SIGN FOR WILLIAMS' RECAll More than five thousand registered voters have signed the petition de manding the recall of Public Senr ice Commissioner Fred A. Williams, according to a statement made today by Robert G. Duncan, chairman Of the public service recall committee. One volunteer solicitor brought in 378 names Wednesday evening with a record of no refusals, he stated. I , "Scores of citizens are asking for the privilege of carrying a petition through their communities, and the business houses ;are asking us to send around the petitions to them. It is apparent that the whole people have laid aside partisan prejudice and have united in an effort to obtain relief from the telephone tax." OBSTACLES ABE MET "Every obstacle Is being thrown In oUr way," continued Duncan, "the latest of which is the announcement from the county clerk to the effect that the law allows him one day to check each 200 names on the petition, and that for all names checked above that number each day, aharge will be made. At the rate allowed: by law. It will take 200 days to check the names." .' ; - V - - "The news that the telephone divi dends have been Increased from t to 9 per cent is the biggest boost that the re call movement could ask. The people understand that the insiders of the wire trust cleaned up- millions yesterday on the fluctuations in the price of telephone stock." ; - -i . Mr. Duncan expressed : confidence In the recall landslide and predicted that, inasmuch as th.e recall committee la en deavoring - to give the people who - pay the bills representation, it would be through the ballot in the voting booth that this question of the telephone tax would be finally settled. . REHEARING URGED 1 Rehearing of the telephone rate case was recommended by directors of the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday, fol lowing consideration of a committee re port submitted by David T. Honeyman, chairman. "It is the opinion of the committee," said the report, "that the Chamber of Commerce lend its influence and, if nec essary, its financial support, in joining for a petition for a .rehearing of the tel ephone rate case." , The sense of the committee was that every possible aid, both financial and technical, should be given by the cham ber to the petition for rehearing, that all the facts be obtained, and that proper counsel be retained to handle the legal details. A. letter has been sent by the Chamber of Commerce both to the public service commission and to the city coun cil, setting forth the views of the di rectors.
