CHARGE EXCESS | UTILin PROFIT Investigators Charge A, T. & T. With Huge Excess Profits Washington. Apr. 23.—<U.R)— Fed-1 eral communications commission ■ investigators today charged the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., with making huge excess protits on rental of telephone instruments to subsidiaries and' with selling the instruments in : 1927 at another profit of more than ’ $14,000,000. In a 160 page report prepared byspecial investigators working un- • der Commissioner Paul A. Walker,' the A. T. and T. was aceussed of ! making excess profits between 1902 and 1927 on telephone rentals. 1 4 *i ‘IM* It was alleged these profits ranged from $50,000,0000 to $216,000,000 in excess of a six per cent return on gross book costs and from almost $63,000,000 to more than! $229,000,000 in excess of six per, cent on net book costs. The profit range was caused by 1 varying, methods of computing the : returns. “The instruments were sold to tthe Associated Telephone Companies, most of which were controlled substantially 100 per ctyit by the American company, at a profit of over $14,000,000, which was about 60 per cent of the net investment in the instruments," the investigators wrote. "This caused an equal amount of write up in the plant of the Bell teleplwne system.'' The commission report _ charged further: 1. The price at which the instruments were sold was fixed by the seller, which controlled the buyers. 2. Officials of the A. T. and T. in testimony before state utility commissions hdve “understated the profit on the sale of the instruments in the amount of over $5.600.000 and given conflicting testimony a sto how the sale price was determined.'' 3. The instruments were sold to the Associated Companies in 1927 at the time the new hand set was being introduced “and the risk of obsolescence was passed to the buyers.'' 4. Immediately after the sale of tthe instruments, production of the old fashioned desk sets by the Western Electric Co., declirted sharply, and practically ceased after 1930. . ——O T 1 Bees Kill Valuable Horses Buckland, New Zealand—(UP) — Two valuable horses were killed on a farm here, iby the stings from swarms of beees- The bees were disturbed by a mawing machine ifasesing near their hives L-- i Bottle) 1 For Only 49' US Within 24 hours \ slier tskmg Old Vl\ OMfaHT Chief Herb Medl- K ” V zi.
