This was the Interpretation of

conferences with Senator Bacon and
Representative Flood, chairmen of the
two congressional committees on for

Huerta administration will be deprived
Of the privilege previously given the
Madero government, and the United
States will treat all sides alike in the
present dispute.
The situation was precipitated by
the recent complaints of the consti-
t~utionalists and their sympathizers in
this country that if the United States
did not virtually assist the Huerta
government by selling it munitions

would be possible. Sentiment in fa-

1t was found that there would be
little objection to repeating the joint
resolution of March Al, 1912, giving
the president discretionary power to
prohibit expectations of arms or mu
nitions of war to countries where do
nestle violence existed, but permit
ting him to allow the legally consti
tuted government Of any country to
buy war supplies as usual.

ALLEGED THERE IS
A PHONE MONOPOLY
DISSOLUTION SOUGHT BY ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL N'REYNOLOS
AT PORTLAND.
PACIFIC STATES AFFECTED
Bell Concern Charged With Absorb
ing Independent Companies There
What the Result Of Suit
May Mean.

Portland. Ore. July 26.-DiSsolG-
ton Of the alleged telephone monop-
oily on the Pacific coast by the Ameri.
can Telephone a Telegraph company
the so-called Bell telephone trust
is sought by Attorney General Ne
Reynolds in the civil antitrust suit,
filed here.
The government charges the giant
corporation and its subsidiaries with
absorbing independent telephone
companies to destroy competition and
create monopoly in Oregon. Wash
ington. Montana and Idaho in viola
ton of the Sherman law.
Claim a Natural Monopoly.
This is the first attempt ever made
to apply the federal antitrust stat
ute to the telephone situation. Tele-
phone companies have claimed that
the telephone, like the railroad. is a
natural monopoly and that a single
system Is conducive to the best in
terests of the public. The department
Of justice contends that it is a ques-
ton of public policy for congress to
determine.
1t is declared that the suit filed will
not interfere with the sweeping in
v~estigation proposed by the interstate
commerce commission into the gen
eral telephone situation to determine
whether the Sherman law should be in
voked generally with the purpose Of
enforcing competition or whether mo-
nopoly should be permitted or encour-
aged under regulation similar to that
Of railroads. This step was taken in
the West because the attorney gen.
eral believed there existed a peculiar
situation demanding immediate atten-
ton to cure evils said to have been
brought about by unfair practices and
illegal combinations.
What the Fight Is Over.
The attorney general asks the
court to compel the Bell companies
to r%elinquish control of the Independ-
ent Telephone company of Seattle, the
Home Telephone company of Puget
Sound, the Northwestern Long Dis
lance Telephone company, the Inter
state Consolidated Telephone compa-
ny, and the Independent Long Dis
lance Telephone company.
II necessary to accomplish the dis.
solution, the court is asked to ap-
point a receiver for the properties.
