 NEWS CORPORATION
Dissolution Is Not Asked, But Monopoly Is
 Charged

Chicago, August 3.-With the filing of an agreed decree in civil anti trust suit against the Western News paper union and the American Press association, the federal government to- day took an advance step under the Sherman law to prevent what the de- partment of justice regarded as the possibility of a combination to in fluence the thought of 60,0Oo,Ooo read CTS of rural newspapers.

 As another reason against dissolu- ton. the petition says that news gath ering and dissemination can best be performed through the larger agencies If there still remains between the lar ger agencies fair, genuine and substantial seompetition.'
 The defendants as a whole, together with the association with which they have trade Agreements, supply 1t is stated, more than 95 per cent of all the newspapers in the United States using plate or ready print The Amer ican Press association according to the government, furnished until recently nearly foVr-ifths of all the plate mat ter used in this country, while the Western Newspaper union supplies so per cent of the ready print service.

 As the result of the failure of negotia- tions to effect consolidation in 1909. the petition charges the defendants began campaign of destructive competition in 1911. and sets forth alleged methods pur- sued by each corporation.
