The commission' granted this motion
The fight for increased rates has

company has not been receiving a fair
return on the investment : has been
brougl out by the leading corpora

effected by the enormous increase
sought have vigorously resisted every

Special to The Herald.
- NASHVILLE, Tenir. July 22. The
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
was made a party to the hearing be
fore the public utilities commission
in which the Cumberland Telephone
& Telegraph Co. is seeking increased
charges for services in the state. The
order of the commission bringing in
' the parent company was issued upon
application of counsel for protestants.
It being set out that the American
Owns the Cumberland Company and
taht with the exception of one-hundredth
of one per cent of its dividends
go directly to the American Company.
, The attorneys for the Cumberland
Company entered a motion that the
commission put into effect the propos
ed schedule of increased rate asked
by the company, effective August 1,
and guaranteeing to make bond to pro
tect the subscribers in the event the
rates should be finaly denied. '
J. W. Stone", of Harriman, of citizens
counsel, charged that there, was col
lected annually from the subscribers
of the Cumberland Company in Ten

es which had been saddled upon them
by reason of exchange of stock of the
company formerly owned bv thn citi
zens pi the slate for bonds upon whidb-
the American Conipany"paid five peri
cent, whereas before the stock own.
ed by the citizens of the state in the
company had no fixed charges. He
said that was the answer to the prop
osition of the telephone company that
it had been able to earn interest
charges. Protestants are insisting that
in the event the commission grants
the request for a valuation of the
properties that the Cumberland Com
pany be required"to pay for such in
vestigation and counsel Hunt Chipley
of the telephone company, said that. he
would guarantee $50,000 toward the
expense of such valuation by commis
sion's experts if the commission would
grant company's moUon ,und ' permit
the increased schedules1 to become ef
fective August 1, though the company
would not be required to pay any of
the expenses of such valuation under
the provisions of the amendment of
the public utiMties act. , j
J. D. O. Morton, chairman of the
steering committee which conducted
the last fight in the raise in rates by
the Cumberland Telephone & Tele
graph Company, today issued an ap
peal for funds with which to counter
the elaborate preparations made by
the telephone company In presenting
its case before the public utilities
commission.
