Sun's plan to settle phone war gains support in Indianapolis
The Indianapolis Sun editorial proposes interchanging local telephone calls between the two rival companies to create a unified system without raising rates.

Marion, Indiana serves as a precedent where interchange with no extra expense worked well.
