'PHONE TRUST TO DISSOLVE
Avoids Federal Suit by Promise to
Sell Western Union Hold-
ing.
Washington, Dec. 20.—The Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com.
pany, better known as the Bell sys-
em, of the Telephone Trust, has
agreed to drop its control over the
Western Union Telegraph Company
and to reorganize immediately under
the terms of the Sherman law at the
suggestion of the Department of Jus-
tice. It has voluntarily agreed to ad-
just its business to the conditions of
ocmpetition, an important feature of
which will be to throw open its toll
lines to independent companies.
Attorney General McReynolds, with
the assent of President Wilson, has
accepted the reorganization plan, and
will not proceed with the contem-
plated suit against the company as
a combination in restraint of trade
under’ the Anti-trust ‘act.
This agreement is the first impres-
sive evidence of the administration’s
new policy to co-operate with “big
business” in the matter of readjust
ments under the Sherman law. It is
the most encouraging step thus far
taken by the Wilson administration
to restore the confidenc: of the busi-
ness interests of the country.
Among the letters given out by At-
torney General McReynolds bearing on
the subject was one written by Presi-
dent Wilson ‘tb Mr. McReynolds ex-
pressing gratification “that the com-
pany should thus volunteer to adjust
its business to the conditions of com-
petition.”

Aldrich-Vreeland emergency
currency act extended until July,
1915.
Washington, Dec. 20.—The Adminis-
tration currency bil as perfected by
the Owen sub-committee and ratified
by the Democratic caucus passed the
Senate by a vote of 54 to 34.
The organization of th: new system
will be undertaken at once and put
into effect “as soon as practicable.”
The passage of the currency bill
through the Senate marks the second
notable victory for President Wilson.
The bill as it emerged from the strug-
gle in the Upper House carries all of
the fundamentals upon which Mr. Wil-
gon and his advisers insisted, but is
admittedly a better and safer measure
than the one which left the House of
Representatives.
The action by the Senate practi-
cally ends a fight for currency reform
which began soon after the 1907 panic,
and which had been agitated sporadi-
cally before that year.
President Wilson and the Democra-
tic leaders see in the measure a stimu-
lus to business and are confident it
will soon end the cries of calamity
howlers.
With the new measure on the sta-
tute books they believe ‘any danger
of a serious panic in the country is
now a thing of the past and that the
United States is assured of a really
elastic currency system and one which
will readily permit of the mobiliza-
tion of reserves to meet any threat-
ened emergency.
In the vote every Democratic Sen-
ator present, including Senator Hitch-
cock, of Nebraska, was recorded in
favor of the bill. Six Republicans
also voted for it—Crawford and Ster-
ling of South Dakota, Jones of Wash-
ington, Norris of Nebraska, Perkins of
California and Weeks of Massachu-
setts.
Senator Poindexter Progressive of
Washington, also voted for the bill
Senator La Follette was recorded
egainst it.
When the result of the final vote
was announced there wag enthusias-
tic even uproarious applause on the
Democratic side and in the galleries.
Jecretary MeAcoo was on the floor
of the Senate and joined in the jubi-
lation.
