REPUBLICAN SENATORS
ARE PROPHETS OF EVIL -

Washington, d, C., July 2i.-Sena
tor Works, attacking the tariff bill to-
day, charged that President Wilson
exceeded his constitutional authority
by aiding in framing the bill and ''us
! ing his powerful influence to have it
passed in the form approved by him. "
The senator also assailed the Dem
ccratic caucus, which he declared,
forced ii senator to "forego his own
conscientious convictions and judg.
ment and vote with his party or come
into disfavor and be branded as an
apostate and betrayer of his party
The president" said Senator
Works, commits himself beyond rev
call to a bill not yet introduced and
without having heard the presenta.
ton of their views by the legislative
representatives of the states where
vital interests and important indus
tries are to be affected by it.
Thus we have bill agreed upon
and marked for final passage, on con-
Sideration of only few men of the
party, concurred in by the president,
acting with representatives of this
ole party. This comes in part from
tie vicious declaration that the pres-
cent is the leader of his party instead
of the president of the whole people
I he two are utterly inconsistent when

Senator Works did not doubt thai

This is the first attempt ever made
to apply the federal antitrust statute
to the telephone situation. Telephone
companies have claimed that the tele
phone, like the railroad, is natural
monopoly and that a single system is
conducive to the best interests of the
public. The department of justice
contends that it is question of public
lolicy for congress to determine.
1t is declared that the suit filed TO-
day will not interfere with the sweep
ing investigation proposed by the in
terstate commerce commission into
the general telephone situation TO
determine whether the Sherman law
should be invoked generally with The
purpose of enforcing competition or
whether monopoly should be permit
ed or encouraged under regulations
similar to that of railroads. This step
was taken in the west because the
attorney general believed there existed
a peculiar situation demanding imme-
date attention to cure evils said to
have been brought about by unfair
practices and illegal communications.
The attorney general asks the court
tc compel the Bell companies to re-
| nquish control of the Independent
Telephone company. of Seattle; the
Home Telephone company, Of Puget
Sound: the Northwestern Long Dis,
tance Telephone company, the Inter-
state Consolidated Telephone COM
rany and the Independent Long Dis
tence Telephone company. If neces,
sary to accomplish the dissolution,
tie court is asked to appoint a re-
ceiver for the Bell companies.
Attorney General McReynolds' we'll
known views that the pro rata distrib-
ution of the stocks of the Standard OH
md Tobacco trusts did not bring about
a real dissolution of these combina-
ions, are strongly reflected in today's
suit in which he specifically requests
the courts to order the alleged tele
phone trust to dispose of stocks. bonds
and physical properties of indepen-
dents to persons not connected with
the Bell companies as stockholders or
