This historical document presents the hearing before the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads of the House of Representatives, Sixty-third Congress, Third Session, concerning H.R. 20471, held on January 15, 1915. The hearing addresses the potential 'postalization' of the telephone, a topic of significant debate at the time. The transcript provides insights into the arguments for and against government involvement in the burgeoning telephone industry, reflecting concerns about monopolies, public access, and the role of the postal service in modern communication. Researchers interested in the history of telecommunications, government regulation, or the evolution of the postal service will find this primary source invaluable. The detailed testimony captures a pivotal moment in the ongoing discussion about the relationship between technology, commerce, and public policy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
