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.
