CONTRACT Washington, April IT. Comment ing on the order of the interstate commerce commission yesterday in the Spokane rate case, fixing May 8 as the date for futtlier hearing as to why the rate found to be unreason able by the commission June 7, 1910, should not be forthwith established, Jos. Is" Teal said this morning: "It will be remembered about two years ago the commission made an order establishing reasonable com modity rates from eastern points of origin to Spokane. Thereafter the fourth section was amended and an other hearing was had and an order made under it This was contested in court and is now pending In the supreme court, having been argued once there and being now reassigned for argument October 15. As to when it will be decided is uncertain, but it is evident the commission in tends to establish reasonable rates to Spokane without waiting for the su preme court to pass on the fourth section order. That is, it will decide on the question of reasonableness and not on the fourth section and the Re no and Phoenix cases will be dealt with at the same time and rates will probably be fixed on basis of the Salt Lake case. "It has also been stated, of course unsuccessfully, that on this same hearing the railroads purpose suggest ing advances in rates to the coast from eastern points of origin. Just what cannot be said but probably on those claimed by roads, not to be sub-j ject to water competition. j Government Agents Investigating Assents Vshvr Telephone, and Sus- lvt "Rebates." Philadelphia, Pa. Attorneys and special agents of the department of justice are in Philadelphia investigat ing the latest move of the Western I'nion Telegraph company in getting business. They are trying to prove restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman law and the creation of con ditions that will eventually lead to a monopoly. It is the plan of the Western Union company to induce subscribers of the Bell Telephone company to be come agents of the telegraph com pany. The Bell company controls the estern Union. Telephone subscribers are asked to become agents under a contract by which they will receive 10 per cent of the present sending cost of every telegram they telephone to the tele graph office over their phones. The plan is objectionable to the government men, in that large bus iness houses would get what virtually amounts to a rebate on every message they would phone to the Western Union. Thus a 60 cent message would cost only 4 5 cents, a large Item when the volume of a month's business is considered. The opposition telegraph line, the Postal, has no telephone ally to drum up business, and, indeed, It has recently charged that the Bell com pany was diverting messages intend ed for the Postal to the Western Union.
