This plan gives the patrons Of the Northwestern company the right to In terchange communication with the pa trons of the Sunset company in Ta coma and with the Pacific company in Seattle, Belllngham and Portland. It thereby permits the Northwestern to do businea with all patrons of the Bell companies in those places on eaual terms with its rival. Before the Bell companies purchased the Northwestern stock in 1911, the Northwestern had access to lees than one-third of the num ber of subscribers It can reach under this plan. Must Sell Spokane Independent Stock. At Spokane the Bell companies are ordered to sell their holdings of stock and bonds In the Home company of that city. It Is provided, however, that if the city of Spokane, within three months, shall determine It to be to the Interest of the people of that city to consolidate the exchanges of the Home company and of the Bell companies under the control of the latter, application must be made to the Portland federal court for modi fication of the decree so that this can be done. Such modification can only be made, J H . . 1 ft Top Clarenc L. Reames United States clistrict attorney, who drew up original petition against the Bell Companies. Bottom Constantino J. Smyth. special assistant to the United States attorney general, who heard evidence In various parts of the country. the decree provides, on condition that the Bell companies open up all their telephones in Spokane to the Inter state company, the independent long dlstanoe corporation In eastern Wash ington, which has lines running into Idaho. This gives the Interstate, should the modification be made, the right of that company to do business inot only with the Home's subscribers, numbering about 7000, but also wltb , tha 22,000 subscribers of the Pacific company, under conditions that abso lutely preclude discrimination. In - this way the people of Spokane are left free to regulate their local telephone system,, while the duty of the federal government to regulate competition in Interstate communica tion is fully discharged. Exolnsloa Contracts Prohibited, The decree condemns aa unlawful all contracts by which local companies agree to give their long distance busi ness to the Bell companies exclusively arid prohibits the latter from accept ing any benefits thereunder. In the decree the government also Is granted the right to apply to the court for any' further orders that may be necessary to carry out the decree and any party may submit to the court any dispute which may arise touching the arrangements provided for in the de cree. Thus the Bell companies and In dependents are placed constantly under tha surveillance of tha Portland feder al court and subject to Its orders at any time. The decree thus not only restores competition in lonr distance business in the area affected by the unlawful combination, as it was before, but It enlarges and Intensifies it, while sur rounding that competition with safe guards that Insure it against attack. Stock Most Be Bold at Once. Coming back to the Northwestern situation again, the Pacific, under the terms of the order, is given 80 days In which to dispose of the Northwestern stock that it owns, and the names of the purchasers of that stock must be submitted to the Portland cour for approval. The suit settled today was instituted by United States Attorney Reames last Julv by direction of Attorney Gen eral McReynolds and was based on tha charge that the defendants bad entered into combination to monopolize the means of telephonic communication In and between the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and had in Buriuancs of tha combination acquired ! control of the Northwestern, the Inter- i state of Spokane and the Home of Brjokane. together with competing ex changes in Seattle, Tacoma and Beu- ingham. Ooverameavs Victory Signal One. Constantine J. Smyth, former attor ney general of the state of Nebraska, was appointed a special assistant at torney general of the government to handle this case, and beginning No vember 3, started taking testimony. Miss-Mary J. Bell, stenographer for United States District Judge Bean, was named special, stenographic examiner, and. she, together with Mr. Smyth and attorneys for the defendants, traveled from coast to coast taking testimony. Witnesses for the government were heard in San Francisco, Tacoma, Seat tle, Spokane, Butte, Denver, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The government finished its case la the last named city about December 20. The defendants had just started presenting their testimony when they indicated that they would consent to m decree sustaining the petition. Nego tiations, it is understood, were taken up about two months ago. The petition with regard to 14 of the 42 defendants is dismissed, but all the others signed "he decree. The defend ants against whom the cases were dis missed were merely named In order that they could be used as stepping stones on which to sustain evidence of the others. "Tou can say that the government has truly won a signal victory," Con stantine J.
