The Combine Has Been Watched for
Some Time--Reports of Prosecution
Seem to Be Well
Grounded

Washington, Aug 24.-The rumor thai
T., department of justice is about to
bring suit under the Sherman anti
trust law to compel the dissolution OF
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company seemed yesterday to be well
grounded 1t has developed that the big
concern has been closely watched by the
officers of the department for several
months, and it is understood that At
torney- General Wickersham has felt for
some time that he would be able to
make out good case against it.
the federal building that the govern.
ment is about to bring suit to compel
the American Telephone 4 Telegraph
company to dissolve seem more frequent
and certain than when the first intima,
tion of such contemplated action was
made Thursday.
Rumors seem to concur in that tho
government has for some time been in
yestigating the operation of the $780,
100000 combine. Local government Off
GERS refuse to discuss the situation, as
do the officers of the Chicago Telephone
company, subsidiary of the company
under fire.
The coincident reports from Washing
ton and Chicago that the department of
justice is about to bring suit for disso-
luton against the American Telephone
g. Telegraph company are not the first
OF the kind that have been abroad since
the combine gained controlling interest
in the Western Union. They seem,
however, to be more positive than these
which have previously attracted atten-
ton.
The American Telephone & Telegraph
company owns all the Bell Telephone
companies, together with controlling
company. It's authorized capital Ia
$500,000000, of which there has been
issued S3lS,427 800. The company was
organized under the laws of the state
of New York in 1885. 1t has paid s per
cent. for several years.
Since the merger Of the Western I'm.
ion and Bell telephone interests, the gov
eminent has received numerous requests
to bring suit for the dissolution of the
combine. The Postal Telegraph company
urged the government in December, 1911,
to sue for the companys dissolution.
At the same time, the Postal submitted
documents to show that the American
Telephone & Telegraph company was
sitting competition and restraining the
trade.
The officers of the company have con.
tinually denied that any restraint of
trade existed or that the combination
was other than "harmless merger for
the best interests of everyone.
Theodore N. Vail is president of both
the telephone company and the Western
Union. The directorate of both com
panies are to large degree identical.
1--WE don't propose to restrain trade,
said President Vail "We propose to in
crease it. We do not propose to violate
any law, and we have nothing to conceal,
1t is straightforward transaction with
every proposition open to government

NEED FOR NEW SCHOOL
EXPLAINED IN LETTER
Prof. Dumas Gives Details
of Conditions in City
Schools.

The application for an election to
pass on the 10000 issue of school
bonds was not made to council on
Monday night, but will be made,
probably, at the next meeting.
Professor Dumas has written the
Journal letter setting forth the needs
OF the new building, which we are
publishing for the benefit OF those
who are not familiar with the present
school situation.
Editor Marietta Journal:
AS the citizens of Marietta will
soon be given the opportunity of
voting on bond issue for an addi-
tional school building, l will give
through your columns, some facts
showing why we need this building.
Most people are aware of the need
but some, who are as ignorant of our

school conditions as they are of the
inner workings of European cabinets,
maintain that we do not need another
building and even ask what we are go
ing to do with the old building. To
such gross ignorance we reply that
we are going to continue to use it and
the new one too, if we can get it, and
both will hardly prove adequate to our
present needs.
/ present the following facts which
any citizen is at liberty to verify by
consulting the books in the office of
the Board of Education.
Our enrolment has increased from
598 in 1904 to 500 at the date of this
writing. By the end of May nearly
900 will have been enrolled, and yet
our seating capacity, including the
High School, is only 756. If we had
the room 1000 white pupils could be
enrolled in Marietta.
Experts say that 40 or as is the
maximum number that should be
taught by one teacher. How is it with
us? More than 60 pupils are now ir
our 9th enough with those
turned away for two 9th grades; YET
we have no room for another 9th
grade teacher 1928 1st grade pupils
are now being taught by two teach
ers. Does not every sensible person
know that this number is enough fol
three teachers? Yet we cannot pro
vide another teacher without another

A NECESSITY

4 The Roman empire must always
be in mind as chief illustration of the
power of military despotism. The or
ganized army made and destroyed
emperors at will.
Sometimes Mexico's procedure is
compared with that of Rome, but 1t
is different. 1t is not even like that
of the Tartars, where Genghis Kahn
and Tamerlane and the whole line of
disturbers We're men of princely
blood.
In Mexico the condition is pure
anarchy There is not even military
organization TO give guarantee TO the
citizenship of any semblance of good
government. There is not even the
little protection that lies in heredi-
tary rulership.
Centuries of illiteracy. and oppres-
sion have created the condition where
the man who can assemble a gang OF
haDditti can set himself up as a gem
eraI. and the half-starved people be-
ing driven TO desperation, he may as
sembIe an army and set himself up as
a dictator, maintaining his position
until some other leader gathers an
other strong force of suffering peo-
pie and suplants him.
This is the program that must be
expected TO go on for years in our
neighboring country unless the strong
arm of America is brought TO bear
on the situation for the welfare OF
the Mexican people themselves.
