American Telephone and Telegraph com
psny and the Western Union, t. n. Vail,
president of both. said today;
No such thing as dissolution has oc-
CURED for the reason that no such thing
as a merger ever occurred IN the past
The relations between the American
Telephone and Telegraph company and
the Western Union have never been In
the nature OF a merger. The develop
ment OF the mutual relations has been
of complimentary character. or an ex-
etnsion by each Of the others facilities
Care has always been taken that moth
ing be done which would affect what
ever competition might be considered TO
exist. The two services are in fact not
competitive; II there is in theory any
competition, II IL because in some in
stances the use Of one service may be an
alternative for the use Of the other.
"If a real merger were made and time
given to complete the merger. some eco
Monies and additional new services of
advantage TO the public might be intro
duced. Whatever has been done already,
II is believed, will be allowed to stand.
and It is probable that come additional
cooperative work may yet be accom-
plished.
There Is no setback in this separation
10 the material interests OF either com
pany, but, on the contrary, now that
there Is sole understanding OF what can
be done and what cannot be done, greater
progress along the lines defined can be
expected.
"The attorney general has been very
consderate Of the material interests OF
the companies, so far as consistent with
his public duty, and this attitude was
clearly reflected by the president We
think the problem has been worked out
to the best interests OF the public and OF
the companies
Separation VIII he Complete.
To the foregoing vicc President Kings
bury of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company added that no plan
for the disposal Of the company's hold
ngs in the Western Union had yet been
considered.
You may rest assured" he said, 'that
however It is done, II will be done in alb
solute good faith. There win be a COM
plete separation OF the control"
The holdings in question amount TO
about $29, 900 par value and were pur-
chased, It is understood, at about &S
share. Mr.. Kingsbury indicated that
there was no intention to dump the stock
on the market and that every precaution
would be taken not 20 do injury to
Western Union stockholders In disposing
OF this large amount Of stock. A reason

by the government TO work out it's plan,
