ALLIED EMPLOYES KILLED IN SILESIA likely Order It at Close of the Present Hearing i (By M. D. Abcrnethy ) Raleigh, March 14. Probably th most important result of the hearing of the petition of the gas companies for the right to continue the temporary gas rates, will be an order from the commission, thru agreement with the gas companies, to employ a gas eipert who will work for the commission in test ing the senrtea. the varieus- com panies give their customers in the future. This development came out when the cities wanted to introduce ev dence about the grade of service being rendered by the various gaa companies. The commission did not think this the proper time to consider complaints of this kind alnce there could not be any expert testimony on either side. Commis sioner Maxwell suggested that the only way to check up on the serv ice cf the companies was for the commission to send a man into 'he field who could make the proper tests. The commission did not haw the authority or the money to pay such a man, but he wonder ed if the companies for their own Information and in an effort to give service, would be willing to pool for the purpose of paying a salary and expenses of such an expert Practically all of the larger com panies and the representatives f aome of the smaller companies London, March J.

The hearing on these gas rates haa now been on for the past two days and there is little indication that it can be completed before the end of the week. Vp to the pres ent time the case of not a sinele cltv has been completed. The companies have put on evidence i . for Durham, Raleigh and Manager Clay, of Winston-Salem, la in the midst of the testimony for his com pany. The cities so far have of fered no evidence in rebuttal but announce that they will at the' end of the hearing if they find that it Is necessary. While predictions at this stage of the hearing are a little premature, the indications are that the com mission will find that the tempo rary rate is somewhat higher than the coal prices for the coming year will Justify. They will order some reduction In rates, in the opinion of many who are watching the prog ress of the cases. The gas makers contend that the published figures of the rates in other cities are old rates and that the new rates granted In many cases and applied for In others, are about in line with the present rates In effect In North Carolina cities. , COMMUNIST UPRISING IS SPREADING IN GER MANY; HEAVY PROPER TY DAMAGE.
