Boston. Nov. r.-President Theodore
n. Vail. OF the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. laughs at the idea Of
the government stepping in to interfere
with the working agreement" between
the telephone and telegraph companies
1T is not a violation of law in letter
and far from it in spirit" he said 10 a
reporter, when shown dispatches telling
what the Federal government officials
proposed TO do.
In the first place. there is no merger.
Secondly. there is no monopoly. because
the companies are not in the same busi-
ness. one is a telephone company and
the other a telegraph company. There is
no restraint Of trade We don't propose
to restrain trade. We propose TO increase
It."
The Federal authorities in Washing
ton have had knowledge OF the Western
Union Telegraph and the American Tele-
graph and Telephone merger for six
months. They have kept constantly ad-
vised as the plan has developed.
There IS no indication in official cir
cles Of any immediate steps to enjoin the
merger or to attack it in the courts. either
IN a civil or criminal action.
