ATE courts, elected by the people, will sit in judgment tomorrow in Seattle's telephone rate Seattle knows it will get a fair verdict. But what it wants is a PROMPT VERDICT. Corporation Counsel Kennedy, contending that the old Independent company franchise has not been as- signed, as claimed by the company, has started man- damus proceedings to make the company live up to the provisions of this franchise. If his efforts are successful, Seattle will not share in the general phone rate increases thruout the state August 1. federal cour phone users These increases were allowed when the sitting at Tacoma the other day, sided, as usual, with the telephone company and enjoined the state board of public works from interfering with rate increases pending a final hearing of the case. That means that, pending long-drawn-out hearings that will be carried to the highest courts, Washington will have to pay the excess rates, The company will post a bond to “insure subscribers a re- turn of the excess rate should the courts hold against the increase.” With 10,000 changes in phone subscribers annually, it will be impossible to keep track of users over the two or three years of postponements and delays that undoubtedly will be instigated by company lawyers. Who, then, will get this extra money? The company, of course! The phone company’s game in the hearing tomor- row will be to try to delay the action or to have the court decide that the present action in federal court supersedes it. Seattle doesn’t want any more delays! Court continuances have cost them too many dol- lars now. Seattle wants the judge to try the mandamus pro- ceedings fairly and squarely on its merits. that it asks is that the yee GIVE SE. DECISION AT ONCE pst Daten merit? And all ATTLE HIS
