INJUNCTION OBTAINED
AGAINST PHONE co
By Leased Wire to The Tribune.

By Leased Wire to The Tribune,
LAS CRUCES. N. NJ. June 25.-The
Postal Telegraph company has obtained
an injunction against a subsidiary Bell
Telephone company in New Mexico for
violation of a contract which the Pos
tai company made with an independent
telephone company last July for five
years, by which the Postal company
reached a number OF towns in New MeXi-
co by an extension of its service from Ell
Paso to Silver City, N. M. The contract
still has more than four years to run.
A few weeks ago the New Mexico sub
sidiary Bell Telephone company bought
out the Independent Telephone company,
with which the Postal had this contract.
and then the subsidiary Bell company
notified the Postal that the contract
would be repudiated July ]. and the con-
nection cut off. The Postal company has
obtained an Injunction against such repu-
diaton in the court In Silver City and
set forth that the action is due to a
conspiracy between the Western Union
and the Bell Telephone companies to
suppress teegraphic competition between
Ell Paso and Silver City and intervening
towns and other parts of the country, The
validity of the consolidation Of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph company
and the Western Union Is directly at
tackled.
