mands their heartiest Endorsement.
II is absolutely necessary that the universal

treaty should find expression. Therefore we
ask you, without delay, 10 write personally to
your Senators, to hold meetings. to send Pc
titions and TO aid by all means in your power

Judge Showalter held that the Watson
switch was anticipated by the previous
condition of the telephone art in the prior

issue was the attempt 10 secure damages,
