A thorough investigation of existing telgraph and telephone rates is believed to be fore shadowed by demands which, have been filed with jthe Inter-State -Com merce Commission in the form of pe titions, directing the attention of the Commission "to the apparent purpose of the American Telephone and Tel egraph Company to monopolize all fa cilities for wire communication.? - Thew'ovement to cotnbel action on the. partiof the Commission is con certed one! The petitions profess to set forth the desires of individuals in several .Western States. While, no action. has: been taken thus far, the Commission, it Is said, fully realize that it is only a matter of a. short time before the question of rates must be reviewed. When the Commission issued its order assuming jurisdicition over companies engaged in inter-State business as common car riers of messages by wire, it was not ed that. the order did not undertake to fix or adjust the rates to be enact ed. Referring to the rate and cer tain other sections of the law, the or der recited that the Commission at that time withheld expression of its views "with respect to the amenabil ity of these jcarriers." In the petitions It is urged that "quick, reliable and economical inter communication is so essential to the commercial and social interests of the citizens of the various States that tel egraphic service and - the charges, ( therefore, more vitally concern tue welfare and prosperity of all ..classes than dd the-servlce' and rates or the express companies. . Continuing, the petitioners say: "We believe - y6ur investigation ' of tele- grapn companies win aisciose tne iact that the people are now, and lor a kng time, have been, deliberately" de prived of the advantages, benefits and economies' of low : uniform service rates by systematized violations of the laws designed for their protection and betterment. That exorbitant rates for unimproved-'service have been maintained" either ; by actual combi nation or by "gentlemen's agree ments" and that strenu6us efforts have been employed to prevent , the intro duction -of cheap tolls, whether by competition or legislative measures seems, obvious -to your petitioners, v "Your attention is invited to tne ap- n&rent. nurnoKe of the American Tel egraph and Telephone Comp1 any to mo nopolize all facilities for wire com munication to the destruction of com petition and the possibility of low charges for. the use : of wire ' service. The rapidity with which formerly in dependent i telephone companies are being absorbed and the efforts to in duce those , still "lert to -enter into agreements for the' maintenance of extortionate rates seem to us to admit of no other interpretation than that of combination for : the "'restraint bf trade directed ; against independent and competing companies. ' "If - telegraphic service at the rate of one.-: cent .or: less per word for any distance is , a possibility of the mod ern telegraphic art, the public is en titled to that sort of service." ,- ' ( . The petitioners declare their belief that "carefully deliberated efforts are being made by the telegraphic trust tc prevent ' the progress of - inde pendent enterprises." .

The returns as announced by the secretary pro voked tremendous applause from- -various factions and the cheering and excitement became so intense that the chair was forced to issue an order forbidding any demonstration.
