Corporation Counsel Burr will assist in the investigation. The Mer- chants’ Assootation and other civic bodies which have complained against telephone service and rates will be invited to offer suggestions, Demo- cratic Senate Leader James A. Foley, Chairman of the legislative committee which forced reductions in telephone rates four years ago, will participate in the inquiry, It was not until late yestérday that the Public Service Commission, through {ts Chairman, Charles B. Hill, abandoned the plan to start its inquiry to-morrow, promptly after the telephone wires had been re- turned to the control of the com- anies by the Federai Government. For many reasons it was decided that it would be impracticable to accord officials of the New York Telephone Company less than a day within which to prepare for the opening sea- sion of the Inquiry, ‘Wednesday's session of the commis- sion, to be held in its New York City offices in the Hall of Records, will be in the nature of a formal confer- ence.

Word came from Albany last night that the commission SJ | had written him, as the law officer of ithe city, to participate in the pro- posed inquiry.

Inasmuch as the | Assocfation has led all other organt- | zations in @ drive for better Rervice, it Is likely that counsel for that body will play a large part in the deliber- ations.

Continuation of Government control of the roads complicates the high cost of living, wage questions and transporta- tion problems. It is argued by the ad- \) visers of the President that the quicker N the roads get back to the pre-war status the better for the Administration and the roads. — 4 RUSSIAN RAILWAYS MUDDLE.
