WALL STREET READY TO ACCEPT

New York Bankers Prsparsd to Meet
Changes Called For in New Law.
New York, Dec. 20.-Passage OF the
currency bill In Washington finds tho
local banking community, which waS
mono too kindly disposed toward the
measure In its iuctpient stages, more
or less ready to accept the salient
features Of the bill
Changes which the new law must In
evttably bring have been taken note Of
recently and It - not thought any nA-
tional bank Of Importance Will carry
out tho threat tosFeAnquish ~ federal
charter and opsrate under q state
charter. In fact the president Of .
large Wall street bank said today that
all Of the thirty-six national banks
OF this city could be counted on to ac-
cept the new law just a. soon az II
took effect.
As the currency bill In its latest form
has overcome many Of the obJections
voiced by prominent hnancviers, It
seemed the opinion in hnacial quarters
today that the privileges which the
national chartered institutions would
retain. together with the prestige con-
sidered attached to q national institu-
ton. would outweigh with most Of
them any remaining objections any Of
them might have to the new law.
Moreover, II the national banks
would give up their charters they
would have to return to the govern
ment the reserve now held by them.

Washington. Dec. 2o.-The greatest
anti trust victory of President VIII
sons administration thus far-the vol
untary dissolution Of the so called tele-
phone trust-commanded the attention
Of all administration officials today.
Next to the fact that oil the features
against which the government was pre-
pairing an anti trust suit will be elm
mated with the consent and co-opera-
ton Of 'big business" itself without
years Of court lighting. the principal
topic Of discussion was what effect the
dissolution would have on the move
ment for government ownership. II
has been generally expected in con-
gress that such plan would soon be
urged as an administration measure.
Blow TO Public Ownership.
Administration supporters. after in
formal conference on the telephone
dissolution and going over so much
Of the plan as has been published. were
Of the opinion that tho latest develop
ment would at least retard the move
ment to present the government owner
ship question to congress. Some
thought the voluntary action Of the
company had created an entirely new
situation which government ownership
supporters would have to consider be-
fore going further.
Representative Lewis, Of Maryland
author OF tho parcel post law and &C.
tive in the movement for government
ownership OF telegraph and telephone
lines. introduced a resolution, how
ever, to direct the house postofffce
committee to go ahead and report such
bill.
In a statement accompanying his
RESOLUTION, Mr.. Lewis contended that
the action Of the Bell Telephone Com
pany to prevent litigation under th'
anti-t trust law. did not effect the lests'
lative action at all.
Sees No Rate Reductions
"The action will not reduce single
telephone or telegraph ratio In the
United States and the public necesst'
ties for legislative action to postalize
these methods Of communication. al
they have been in nearly all othei
countries. are not affected In the least,
said he.
The Lewis resolution embodies I,
n,an lbv which the telephone lines would
be appraised by the interstate com
merce commission and the companies
might appeal to the circuit courts on
the awards.
Pending litigation, interests at tne
rate Of 1 per cent year would pe
Maid to the owners. The government
would issue per cent bonds from time
to time as the acquisition Of the prop
critics demanded.

Dissolut;ons Aarssd To.

Washington. Dec. 20.-Attorney Gem
eral McReynolds last night made public
details Of an agreement for reorganixa-
tion Of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. the telephone
trust" which will prevent litigation to
dissolve that corporation under the an
ti-trust act and under which competi-
tive conditions win be restored in the
telephone service Of the entire country
and tho combine will dispose OF Its
holdings In the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
Tho reorganization plan originated
with tho company. altho It followed
many reports that suit against It
might be dled. It was regarded by de-
partment Of Justice omcials last night
as the most striking indication offered
in q decade that ''big business" has
come to the conclusion 1t is better to
follow the Sherman law than light It.
Wilson Pleased.
The plan met not only the approval
of the attorney general and his chief
trust buster" q. c. Todd and omicials
Of the subsidiaries Of the corporation
but the president expressed his admir-
alton Of the attitude of the telephone
company and his conviction that such
conduct meant building up Of bus
mess on q sound and permanent line.
Coming on the heels of the announce
ment that Postmaster General Burleson
is seriously interested in government
ownership Of telephone lines, the action
Of the department Of Justice took an
added significance and some officials
went 50 far as to express the opinion
that 1t indicated legislation to acquire
the country's telephone business would
not be pressed by the administration at
the present session.
Features Of Amendment.
In brief the agreement provides that:
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company will dispose promptly
of its holdings in the Western Union
Telegraph Company. 50 that each con-
Germ shall be under distinct manage
ment and SO that all shall be entirely
independent.
The company will not hereafter ac-
quire control Of other telephone COM
panies and where control Of telephone
companies has been acquired but no
actual physical union has been effected
the American Telephone and Telegraph
will submit the course it is to pursue
to the interstate commerce commits
sion and to the department of justice.
The company will promptly make az
rangements by which all other tele-
phone companies in the United States
shall have access to its toll lines.
Department oficials last might de-
clared that the plan gave the govern
ment everything and more than it could
have obtained thru the courts.
The agreement win not affect the suit
entered several months ago to dissolve
the connection Of the Bell company
with the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, the coast branch. This
suit will be pressed by the department
to determine how far the Sherman an
t,-trr.t act applies to telephone COM
panies.
