TELEPHONE DISSOLUTION SUIT.

In filing suit under the Sherman law, attack
ing the American Telephone and Telegraph CON-
pany, the Government has opened the way to a
complete illustration Of what's the matter with the
Sherman act
The American Telephone and Telegraph Com
rany gets, year by year, closer to being monopoly.
Also, telephone service local and long distance, gets
BETTER physically better efficient, more usable,
less conducive to high-power, long-dstance pro-
family. Central" is more accommodating than she
used to be; aso is paid better salary.
Broadly speaking, it is a good safe venture that
there is no widespread demand that the A. T. & T.
be taken to pieces. Rather, public opinion would
like to see every telephone in the land belong to
single concern and then to see that properly
regulated and supervised.
We pay too much for our telephone service. Does
any subscriber doubt that? Monopoly gives better
service, but charges too much for it. The answer
is, in the case of such utility the telephone to
let the monopoly alone, but supervise it effectively
After all, the telephone service has just one
destiny 1t ought to be division of the Postoffce
Department, and that is what it will be in few
years. If it submitted to the public at referen
dunn today, it would carry almost unanimously. =
If the Governments suit against the wire COM
binaton shall prove step toward making this Gov
ernment service, it will have done a real public
service
