ACTION AGAINST
TELEPHONE TRUST
CAUSES COMMENT
Ultimate Policy of Wilson
Administration Not Yet
Defined-Three Courses
Are Suggested

Washington, July 25.-Attorney General
McReynolds' action in testing the applica-
bility of the Sherman antitrust law to the
telephone trust in the civil suit filed at
Portland, Ore, against the alleged monop-
oily on the Pacific coast, today revived dis
eussion of the probable ultimate policy of
the Wilson administration toward the gem
eral telephone situation. The election of
one of three courses is uggested-enforced
competition under the Sherman law, the
toleration and encouragement of monopoly
under federal regula ton as In the case OF
the railroads or government ownership
and operation of the telephone, like the
mails.
While Attorney General McReynolds has
not reached a definite conclusion, it is
understood his present disposition is to
leave the general telephone trust problem
to the interstate commerce commission
for the present and not attack the situa-
ton, as a whole, under the Sherman law
until at least a reasonable time has
elapsed to show the results of the COM
missions investigation now under way A
governmental policy is expected to be
evolved out of that inquiry.

Fowler Disagrees

James A. Fowler, assistant to the Attor-

both the Wiekersham and McReynolds adj
ministratons, did not it is said entertain
the view of former Attorney General
Wickersham that reference of the tee-
phone problem to the Interstate commerce
commission would meet all the needs of
the situation. Mr.. Fowler is understood
to be on record as favoring the institution
of some suits against the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph eompany-the So
called Bell telephone trust-to correct
some of the alleged disadvantages COM
planned of.
Attorney General McReynolds today de-
clined to discuss the possibility of crimi-
