Washington.-Atto General Nc
Reynolds told friends Saturday that
scores of the independent telephone
companies in the United States were
gratlfed with the agreement that the
so-caled trust has made with the de-
partment of Justice, which will give
them the use of thousands of miles
of trunk lines operated by the Bell
companies. The department, he said,
hardly could have expected any court
to order the Bell company to allow
independents to make use OF Bell
equipment. and there practically was
no chance that the Independents could
raise sufficient funds, If they had the
desire, to build competing long dis
lance lines.

hurst said. These failing, violence be-
came necessary. Nothing was ever
got from an English parliament ex-
cept through violence" she said. THE
machinery Of the British government
is an elaborate arrangement of how
not to do anything. Whatever social
legislation has been secured has been
due to 'wOmen's civil war and much
Of it was granted to soften the spirit
Of the suffragettes."
The old age pension law, she de-
clared, was granted to save Winston
Churchill his cabinet seat. Mention
of Churchill, Asquith and Lloyd
George evoked kissing.
BY nature law-abiding hating vio-
lence and disorder, Mrs. Pankhurst
said she had from the beginning felt
absolutely guiltless for she believed
there was no other way to secure wo
mems rights. The women who have
drawn the prizes in life's lucky bag
are the ones who are waging this
war;" she said, "the women with good
fathers, good husbands, good broth
ers, and who are engaged in useful
industries They are fighting for the
women Of all classes"
Mrs. Pankhurst discussed equal
suffrage and white slavery. White
slavery she characterized as more
awful than negro slavery in it's worst
form ever was in the United States. In
this slavery are slaves Of every color,
and they are all Of one SEX" She crit

why don't they go to the seat Of
the evil?" she said. why don't they
punish the customers? With no de-
mand there will be no traffic. Give the
women the opportunity to frame the
legislation and there will be no white
slavery. The government of the coun-
try is the biggest white slave firm We
have"
Mrs. Pankhurst replied to American
critics who have said she came on
money-making mission. Benjamin
Franklin went to France for aid for
the American revolution, she said, and
Irish law breakers came here to
gather money to carry on their cam
paigns" and Americans responded.
She continued: why should 1 not
