a deliberate violation of the laws against
combination, and that the effect was to
advance the cost of cable messages on
the Atlantic y 1-2 cents a word.
Mr.. Corliss said the matter had not
been brought 10 the attention of the at

committee take cognizance of facts which
showed an offense against the law and re-

for his investigation and action.
Mr. Littlefield made the point that If
the subject had never been brought before
the attorney general he could not be re-

clined to act congress was not warranted
in giving him directions. He thought this
