RULING the District bears out The Evening World's contention that the New York Telephone Company had no right to proceed, under the sa special charges for installing new telephdnes and restoring old ones upon its subscribers in this city. | The up-State holds that since no riff of such installation and restoration charges was filed with or| approved by the Commission, telephone subscribers in this State | cannot be made to pay such charges. | Many subscribers in this city have paid them rather than take | a chance of having their telephone service cut off. If the courts find that Mr. Burleson has exceeded his powers here as elsewhere, the New York Telephone Company should be compelied to refund to its subscribers the money exacted for routine work it had never felt it could charge for until Mr. Burleson issued his order. In this as in other States the Postmaster General’s assumption of supreme control over telephone service and rates is due for a thorough testing out in the courts. As the Chairman of the up-State Commission notes f of Public tion of Postmaster General Burleson, to lev Public Service Commission “The war !s now over, and {t i apparent that this purely legal question must be met and settled by the courts in order that the respective Federal and State authorities may know the limits of their power and that the public as well as the telephone companies may know where the control of rates legally rests. Post-war bureaucracy as exemplified in the Postmaster General's | policies has come up against the post-war tendency of the States to | resume their normal rights and responsibilities of peace. Here in| New York the continued slump in telephone service inclines the| public to anything but a favorable view of Government control. | Incidentally, New York telephone users note that, although the | dispute as to Burlesonian authority seems to provide opportunity for) hotels to slip charges for local telephone calls up to ten cents again, there is no move on the part of the telephone company to bring down | 1 | | | toll rates to the old as distinguished from the new Burlesonian levels. Where doubt arises the benefit thereof is not to the public that pays. ee “Public opinion puts strong drink under statutory ban © . the American people will be the better for ' New York Times, Jan, 19, 1919, Is prohibition to be a dogma which everybody must sub- | scribe to?’"-.New York Times, Jan. 29, 1919.
