HOWEVER, McREYNOLDS
INSISTS.

NEW YORK, Dec s.--Athorney-
General James c. McReynolds said to-
day that suit against the New
Haven road to dissolve the alleged
monopoly Of transportation facilities
of New England would be absolutely
the last resort of the Wilson admins
tration to correct conditions there.
He insists. however. that the Jaw
shall be obeyed. and provided the d.
rectors of the New Haven work out
within a re Asonable time their own
fronting them there will be no legal
action whatever.
In making that assertion Mr.. Nc
Reynolds referred to the desire Of
President Wilson not to interfere with
honest business, and TO give every
reasonable sid TO persons. or CORPORA
lions, that seek to comply with the
law. He praised In strong terms the
work and the plans of the president.
and said that Mr.. Wilson wished not
only to help honest business. but in
the case OF the New Haven both the
president and himself wanted to do
everything to conserve, az lar as pos

the New Haven road.

in order to expedite the bill. They
were Senators Gronna, Kenyon, La

The final protest against the resolu-
