Washington, Dec. 23.-President
Wilson let it be known that some 9th

initiative in reorganizations to con-
form with the Sherman antitrust law.
The bulletin reiterated that there
seemed to be very general disposi-
tion to inquire what the law was, to
know what would be expected OF

ply with the spirit of the law.
Mr. Wilson made it clear to his
callers that it would be the policy of
his administration to cooperate in

of the country and that the executive
departments did not want to raise bar
riers against those who wanted to
obey the law.
The president pointed out that the
attorney general would cooperate
and heartily desired and welcomed
the impulse on the part OF business
to take the initiative.
The president indicated in his man
ner of discussion that he hoped the
government had shown by example
in the American Telephone and Tele
graph settlement what might be ex
pected as the future course of his ad
ministration.
Special Trust Message.
He has been comforting with con

subject and will read special mes
sage to congress after he returns
from his vacation in which he will
point to the necessity of a rigid en-
forcement of the Sherman law anC
will endeavor to make clear the in
s depreciation of that statute, which the
department of justice will follow.
When the president signs the cur

pany his signature with some sort o
a statement on the trust question.
