TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE COMPANIES.
Mr. WINTER asked and obtained leave to introduce a bill [S 349] to prohibit business discrimination by telegraph and telephone companies. [The bill provides that any telegraph company in the State shall, during business hours, receive all dispatches, whether from other telegraph companies or from individuals, and shall transmit the same at the usual rates. All telephone companies doing business in the State shall also furnish instruments and service to any one, provided such applicant comply with reasonable regulations of the company.]
It was read the first time and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
