A House District Committee request for Commerce and Labor to investigate district owned or operated street railways electric and gas plants and telephone systems was declined by Secretary Straus who said the department cannot take up the matter now and that the Bureau of Corporations would be needed though its workload on steel tobacco oil and lumber investigations is heavy.
