July 9.—Hardware Age in its weekly review of conditions in the hardware field says: Seasonal weather has served to move a large percentage of stocks which have laid dormant for the past few weeks. Garden tools, hose, camping supplies, automobile accessories—all are showing the effects of the warm days which have been enjoyed during the past two weeks. Stocks of seasonal merchandise have been greatly lessened as the result and there is every reason to expect that reorders will soon be In order. The past week has witnessed but few price changes and the great majority of those which have occurred have been of a purely nominal nature. Optimism is still on the increase and it is the general belief that business will continue to improve for some time to come. Industrial conditions seem to be better, and according to recent reports there 1* a decided increase In business from the rural districts.

PHONE CO. SEEKS TO BLOCK STATE (Continued From Page 1) court interfering with Jurisdiction of the United States District Court or any of its lawful orders and,- judgments. 6. Interfering or attempting to interfere in any way with rates now charged. “Stale Set No Hates'’ The complaint asserts that the Federal Court injunction decree never has been vacated, modified or set aside, and that the public service commission took no steps between the data the decree was entered, June 23, and July 5, to fix p ny rate which the company might charge The rate announced by the company will yield less than 5 per cent on a fair value of its property, the complaint says. It is further charged that Lesh “at the request of the Governor, Emmett F. Branch, has Instituted an action in Superior Court of Marion County to compel this plaintiff to submit to continued confiscation of its property.” State courts are without jurisdiction and filing of the suit by Lesh Is an attempt at interference with Federal Court jurisdicition, and an attempt to litigate in State courts questions involved in causes decided by the United States District Court, the complaint says. The company is -willing to and expects to .appear 1 before the public service commission July 1G and presentl'its case on a valuation of the company's property at a hearing for that time, the complaint stated. Lawyers pointed out today that in the filing of the company's suit the ultimate injunction had been reached. As the case stands now, the telephone company is asking an injunction to prevent the State of Indiana from asking an injunction asking that rates established by a injunction be enjoined.

the United States Circuit Court of Appeals will hold court here Friday to rule on motions of the State to modify the injunct on decree granted by him in the telephone rate case. Dailey notified Edv.ard M. White, assistant attorney general of Indiana of Judge Page’s intention today. At tho same time Judge Page will in person answer the letter recently sent him by U. S. Lesh, attorney general, asking if the decree permits the company to disregard the section of Indiana law requiring public utilities to give thirty days notice of proposed rate changes and to obtain approval of the commission before putting them In effect. Appeal In Background It is believed that the State Is desirous of obtaining ruling on its motions immediately with a\iew to appealing the case of Judge Page to the United State Supreme Court. The motions on which Judge Page will rule asked th&t those sections of the decree permitting the company to charge such rates as would give it a fair return on its investment in the Indianapolis area and State at large be stricken out, and that the decree be so modified as to restrict it to forbidding the commission from enforcing rates established by it. The effect of this would be to hold the company within the bounds of rates asked~in its petition to the commission last year. The present rates are in excess erf those and also provide for service changes unauthorized by the commission. Attorney General Lesh was out of the city today and could not be reached. Meantime both aides prepared for the legal battle before Judge Linn D. Hay in Superior Court two Saturday in case the utility loses its move to block this case. The public service commission also went ahead with preparations for a hearing to begin July 16 to determine anew valuation of the company’s property and to thoroughly investigate all phases cf the measured service question. The board of directors of Indiana Chamber of Commerce went ahead with its discussion of the telephone situation today, although its members frankly adinitted that little or

made Rosetta angry. “Why, Vivian and I never take a drink," she says. "And we never smoke, either. “Why, we even refused to drink with tlie King of Spain at the Vanderbilt party for him in London. The king lifted his glass and asked us to drink. We told him we didn’t. “ ‘Might as well,' hej said.‘you may be dead tomorrow. But we refused, and we always refuse."

nothing was to bo accomplished. “In view Os the suits and counter suits that have been filed it is apparent to all that there is no chance of mediation. The fight seems to be one to the bitter end. and it has become a matter for the Courts and not for business organizations,” George H. 'Mosser, managing director, said. The chamber had extended invitations to mayors of mpre than sixty cities and representatives of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company and public service commission to attend its meeting today in an effort to settle the question amicably.
