CONSOLIDATION ftl'ESTlOV NOW
BEFORB DEPARTMENT JUSTICE.
Government May SolTe Problem by
Takins Over Telephone Lines and
Dolsc Array With Double Service.
By unanimous action and without
discussion the City Council yesterday
adopted a resolution directed to the
Department of Justice requesting that
permission be given the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph Company to begin
negotiations with the city and the
Home Telephone & Telegraph Company,
looking towards a merger of the two
companies.
Further action by the Council on the
proposed merger haa been deferred un
til the Department of Justice acts on
the resolution. Should permission be
granted, the Council plans to call on
representatives of the Pacific Tele
phone .& Telegraph Company for a
guarantee of better service and rea
sonable rates in the event of consoli
dation. The outcome of the proposed merger
rests largely on the action of the
United States Senate in its considera
tion of the measure to authorize the
President to take control of all tele
graph and telephone companies
throughout the United States.
Should the President assume control
of the telephone companies those well
Informed believe that a consolidation
would be effected In Portland by the
Government and in time, the automatic
