WIRE DISSOLUTION
OPINIONS DIVIDED
Reorganization of Telegraph
and Telephone Companies
May Not AIIay Agitations.

The effect OF the action of the Depart
for reorgani: alton of the American
7 eIephone and Telegraph Company on
I e movement Tor Government owner
E fip of telephones and telegraphs was
y idely talked abe Ut the Capita: today.
Two views were expressed One was
that the effect would be to allay the
sSitation for Government ownership.
Tne other was the exact iEt;thesis of
that opinion, and wax to tho effect that
I e real result of the dissolution of
relations between thei Western Union
q sad the American Telephone and Tele-
9 aph Company would be to strengthen
and hasten the Govern ucnt ownership
" ovement.
Congressman David ]. Lewis of Mary
land. who Is fathering the Government
ownership movement in Congress, has
10 intention in the least of halting his
: forts by reason Of the arrangement
etween the Department of Justice and
l le American Telephone and Telegraph
3 ompany.
On the contrary, it is learned Mr..
! avis and others who stand with him
IN favor of Government sozTnership, not
only intend to press government owner
ship. but take the view that the re-
{. .rganization will increase the agitation
Tor Government ownership.
Government ownership beNevers point
out that the reorganization plan as
matter of fact does not at all shake
the strength of the Americn Telephone
and Telegraph Company or weaken its
Z rip on the expanding telephone busi-
ness Of the United States. They hold
the effect of the announced policy of
1he American TeleDhone and Tele-
aph Company of allowing independ-,
eHts to connect with its lines will prob
? bly, be to strengthen the company
r. thcr than otherwise, without much, If
/. nv relief in rates: From. this situation
they. expect agitation for public owner
snip to grow.
In any event, it is clear the Govern
ment ownership advocates are going to
D ammer away as hard as ever to have
The Government take over the wire
service either telephone or telegraph,
Or both.
ON the other hand. it rs clear the re-
will. temporarily at least.
I end to make many members Of Cen
Eress hesitate about taking over the
telephone and telegraph systems, and
there will be no Government ownership
: legislation this session, unless it be
something looking to an investigation.
