President Wilson let it be known to-
day that some other corporations be-
sides the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company had shown a disposition
to take the initiative in reorganiZations
to conform with the Sherman antitrust
law
The President did not specify what cor

formal discussion of the subject with
callers he spoke of having some in mind
He reiterated that there seemed to be a
very general disposition to inquire what
the law was, to know what would be ex-
pected of big business and a desire to
comply with the spirit of the law.
Mr.. Wilson made it clear to his callers
that it would be the policy of his admin
istration to cooperate in every way IL
legitimately could to bring about a salts
factory understanding OF the law by the
business men of the country and that the
executive departments did not want to
raise barriers against those who wanted
to obey the law. The President pointed
out that the Attorney General would CO.
operate and heartily desired and wei
coined the impulse on the part of business
to take the initiative.

The original statement in the Times

nantly and vigorously denied this re-
port, as applied to the citizens COM
mittee. He said:
The report is untrue, and imputes to
the citizens committee colossal folly.
1.-THE committee of representatives Of
the Washington Board of Trade, Cham
Der of Commerce and the Retail Mer-
chants Association originated in a de-
sire on the part of those engaged to
bring to the attention of the Congress
the views OF the people of the District
the half-and-half principle of the act
| Of 1878.
Both In the resolutions adopted and
| in the remarks made at the meeting of
mittee appointed. the entire trend was to
express this desire in a calm and dispas-
sionate manner.
| There was absolutely not a single
| word written or said relative to any
special representative in his relation to
the matter. There was not even a hint
that there should be any antagonism,
either here or elsewhere. against any
one who advocated the repeal of the half
and half principle.
ut was not even suggested that any
pressure from home should be brought
to bear upon any member Of Congress,
much less any statement, the most re-
mote. that any one should be opposed
for a reelection.
1.-The spirit was solely one of self-de-
Tense, and to secure fair play for the Dis
trict by bringing our position to the at
tention of the President and the Con-
gress.'
