NEW.QRDER IDE
IN SPOKANE CASE
SCENT TRADE RESTRAINT
IN XEW KELIi-W. IT. 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.
