State urged to place telephone firms under public control
The New York Board of Trade and Transportation urged Gov. Hughes to push a special session bill to bring telephone and telegraph business under Public Service Commission regulation.

It points out that all other public service corporations are regulated, and warns that revealing why these firms have been exempted would expose financial secrets of the companies and political parties.
