Public Service Commission v. Wisconsin Telephone Co.
February 5, 1940.
Mr. Harold M. Wilkie for petitioner.
Messrs. Edwin S. Mack, J. Gilbert Hardgrove, Frederic Sammond, Baxter Milne, and C. M. Bracelen for respondent.
By leave of Court, briefs of amici curiae were filed by Solicitor General Biddle and Messrs. J. Phillip Wenchel, Daniel W. Knowlton, David W. Robinson, Jr., and William J. Dempsey, on behalf of the United States; and by Messrs. John E. Benton and Clyde S. Bailey, on behalf of the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners, — in support of the petition.

The motion of the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners for leave to file a brief amicus curiae is granted. The petition for writ of certiorari is denied upon the ground that the Court is unable to find that the decision of the highest court of the State did not rest upon an adequate non-federal ground.
