City charges unjustified rate boosts by General Telephone
Long Beach officials told a PUC hearing that General Telephone Co. grants in the area show discriminatory earnings well above the system average. City engineer Henry E. Jordan urged cost studies by exchanges and argued the record warrants a corrected final decision, with a reasonable return allowed. Rehearing petitions delay interim boosts for General, Cal Water & Telephone, Pacific Telephone and Sunland-Tujunga Telephone.

Bus Strikers Draft Reply to Poulson in Los Angeles
Negotiations in the Los Angeles bus strike continued as the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen replied to Mayor Norris Poulson’s demand for a secret ballot of 1,200 striking drivers on the latest offer by Metropolitan Coach Lines. Poulson said he would seek Metro and the ASC to return drivers to work if the secret ballot is not permitted as talks entered a fifth day. The mayor noted a flood of public letters about conditions caused by the strike, which centers on wage changes from a six day 48 hour week to a five day 40 hour operation.
