Washington, June 16.-President

One Of the circular letters which

heads"
The form letter attached was an
appeal for postponement Of trust leg
isfation and a 5 per cen rate increase
for the railroads.
Not since President WiEon made
his charge of an 'insidious lobby in
Washington to influence tariff legisla-
ton has there been a sensation of
such a sort in official circles. News
of what the president had said and of
the issuance Of the circular letters
spread quickly to the Capitol, where
it became the subject of animated
discussion in both houses of congress-.
President Wilson made it clear that
the campaign would have no effect
npon him and that it was his plan to
push the trust program through the
senate with the aid Of all the means
at his command. He expressed the
view that business was as good, if not
better, now than a while ago, and that
it would be less harmful to the bust
ness Of the country to have the trust
legislation program completed than to
be confronted with a period of uncer-
tainty which would accompany delay.
