Fight on Telephone Bill.
Assertions that the telephone lobby
has spent large sums of money and
I has been exerting undue influence to
j force through t-.e merger bills were
j made to the governor when he gave a
i hearing to members of the house on
the merger bill which finally passed,
' introduced by Minor of Iancaster.
! Th re were several of these mergei
bills listed, all of them giving the reg
ulation of telephone companies into
the hands of the state railway com
mission by defining them as common
Carriers and providing for a physical
connection between the exchanges ol
competing companies.
The Minor bill had the provision al
lowing tbergora between Rcii and in
dependent companies stricken out
when the bill was passed, and Hcnt to
the senate, but the senate put it back
again and sent the hill over for con
currence. Thai sentiment in the house
Beamed to have been changed in the
meantime and the bill as amended
went through. Grossman ot Douglas.
Harrington of Rod. and others assert
ed to the governor t hat the hiil got
through as a result of pernicious lob
bying Kotouc- of Richardson and othera
urged the governor to sign the bill,
Riving as their reason the fact that
telephone companies are not naturally
capable of giving good service when
they are competing in the same terri
tory and that the railway commission
should be trusted to see that merger
were made only for the gooJ of con
sumers. Telegrams have been arriving at tha
governor's office from all over tha
state urging both sides of the ques
tion. The governor announced no de
cision and will take the bill under ad
visement. Governor Aldrich will not give his
de-etsion upon the appropriation ol
$100,1100 for the medical department
or the state to be spent In Omaha un
til he has given both sides a hearing.
