Indianapolis, Ind, May 2O.-Undoubt-
eddy the most important telephone de-
cision that has been handed down by
the courts in this part of the country
in many a day was that given by Judge
Taylor of the federal court, at Cleve-
land, yesterday. when he gave the in
dependent telephone interests such a
hard bump. The decision practically
opens UP the entire independent field to
the Bell telephone interests and gives
them huge advantage in the war that
has been in progress for years.
The United States Telephone com
pany an Ohio corporation, is the big
independent long distance company OF
the middle west. 1t has connections
with about 400 independent local COM
panies in Ohio. Indiana and adjacent
states With all of these companies
the United States company had ex-
elusive contracts-that is, the COM
panies agree that they will not make
long distance connections with any
other company than the United States
company during period of ninety-nine
years.
The Central Union Telephone com
pany, the Bell company doing business
In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. concluded
some time go that it wished to make
connections with some of these indie
pendent companies. 1t sought legal
counsel and was given an opinion to
the effect that the exclusive contracts
which the independents have with the
United States company were void be-
cause they were in rstraint Of trade.
So the Central Union went ahead and
