trust law.
President Wilson nau made It
clear that the policy of his admin
istration will be to co-operate in
every way he could to bring about a
complete understanding of the law
by the business men. He said the
executive department didn’t wish
to raise barriers against those who
wanted to obey the law. He point
ed out the fact that the Attorney-
General welcomed the impulse on
the part of big business to take tho
initiative.
President Wilson indicated that
he hoped the government had shown
by the example in the telephone set
tlement, what might be expected in
the further course of the adminis
tration. *
It Is said the President intends
to read a special message to Con
gress after Christmas, pointing out
the necessity for a rigid enforce
ment of the Sherman law. He will
endeavor to make clear the Depart
ment of Justice’s interpretration of
that statute, and will probably make
, some-sort of statement on tho trust
question, when he signs the currency
bill this evening, or tomorrow. *
Some Things the President Will Say.
It is expected the President will
sound a note of confidence that the
business men of the country will
co-operate with the government In
obtaining a compliance with the
anti-trust law, and he will also indi
cate the manner in which the gov
ernment will approach that subject.
He will express his realization of the
difficulty of the task and of the ne
cessity for a caucus, to enable a care
ful teatment of the question.
“Big Business’* Want Law Defined.
Department of Justice officials to
day declared that every day repre
sentatives of business concerns are
calling on that department to define
what they can, and can’t do under
the terms of the anti-trust law.
These officials said that the prose
cutions wouldn’t be discontinued
where the cases warranted It. but
co-operation would be used wrher-, surnnee.
