WASHINGTON. Dec. 2O.-Whether
the precedent set in the compromise
OF the telephone trust" case. where.
by the company agrees to restore
competitive conditions throughout the
Upited States, is TO be extended To
the steel trust" prosecution, was a
question asitating Legislators today.
Republicans expressed their disap-
proval OF the compromise with the
American Telephone e. Telegraph Co. .
declaring that on the basis of infor-
nation as TO violations of the Sher-
man Ia wtransmitted To the interstate
commerce commission last January
by Atty.-Gen. Wickersham, IL ap-
peared that punishment should have
| been meted out.
| In brief, the agreement provides
that
| The American Telephone Il Tele-
graph Co. will dispose promptly or
It's holdings in the Western Union
J Telegraph Co, so that each concern
shall be under distinct management,
and so that all shall be entirely in
dependent
! 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 ef--
fected, the American Telephone &
Telegraph Will submit the course IL Is
to pursue 10 the interstate commerce
commission, and 10 the department OF
justice.
The company Will promptly make
arrangements by which all other tele-
phone companies In the United States
shall have access TO It's toll lines.
Department officials tonight de-
clared that the plan gave the govern
ment eevrything and more than 1t
could have hoped to obtain Ia court.
Officials were particularly pleased
with the last part OF the agreement,
by which the Bell Co gives long-dis-
tance service TO subscribers OF other
companies, and did not deny that they
never had hoped TO gain such point
by suit under the antitrust act.
Wickersham's statement charged
that at a meeting OF the American
Telephone a. Telegraph stockholders
on Dec, 81. 1910, frank avowal was
made OF the corporations Intention
TO obtain a monopoly or the telephone
business, that complaints had been
received from many independent COM
panies that the American Telephone
Il Telegraph has not contented itself
with the normal extension OF its sys-
TEN, but that II has purchased COM
peting lines in such manner and ia
such circumstances as to destroy com
petition which would otherwise have
furnished the public with better facil-
tiles with lower rates" ethat II has
refused connections to independent
lines that discrimination has been
practiced against the Postal Tele-
graph Co. In favor OF the Western
Union, owned by the A., T. g. T., and
that the trust" maintained unduly
high rates IN sections where they had
no competition.
/ Atty Gen. McReynolds refused to-
day 20 discuss how the telephone
trust precedent might affect future
cases
In approving the compromise, Pres
ident Wilson expressed his belief thar
sale by the trust Of It's Western
Union stock viii restore competition.
How this stock Is 10 be disposed OF
has not been considered. Atty. Gen.
McReynolds will allow the directors
of the company ~ decide this dues-
ton as he does not want stockholders
of the corporation 10 lose anything.

Observation-Disclosures John Burke
has given his receipt to retiring
Treasurer Carmi A. Thompson for ST.
426, 422061.4S %, the amount of gov
eminent funds and securities in the
custody of the United States treasury
April l, 1913.
The official count of coin, paper cur

been completed, incident to the trans
fer of authority from an outgoing
treasurer to his successor in office.
This transfer of funds and securities
is always the greatest financial trans
action in the world, both in the amount
Of money involved and in the labor
entailed by the count.
The amount transferred to Treas
urer Burke by retiring Treasurer
Thompson Is not so large as the total
value of funds and securities turned
over to Treasurer Thompson by his
predecessor, Treasurer McClung. This
is due solely to the fact that transfer
accounts with near depository banks
