IS NOT A MONOPOLY
u. S. Telephone Company
Makes An Appeal.
tNationaI News Association

(National News ASSoclat1on)
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Telephone
conversation is not subject for mo-
nopoly within the meaning of the
Sherman law according to brief
filed today in the supreme court by the
United States Telephone company.
The brief was in the form cf re-
quest to the court to review the de-
cision of the federal court in Ohio that
the company's contract with 800 local
exchanges throughout Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois are a violation of the
Sherman law. The contract binds the
local exchanges to give rivals of the
U. S. company no long distance serv-
ice to points reached by the L. S.
compan.
The u. S. Company asserts that the
telephone companies cannot violate the
law like manufacturers or producers
of articles who may control the price
by increasing or decreasing supplies.
It's position is that the supply of tele-
phone conversation is unlimited and
cannot be restrained. The company
further says thae If its contracts are
declared void the effect may be to de-
stroy the business with an investment
of $5,o00,000 and leave the field to the
Bell interests.
