restoration of confidence In big busi
ness circles as a result of tlio gov
ernment's agreement with the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph com
pany was predicted hero today by
Thcodoro Vail, president of the cor
poration, In an interview with tho
United Tress.
"It gives assurance." said Vail,
"that legitimate business desires ami
means to end under ground rumors t
business depression and possible
panic,
"I hnvo no Idea yet of bow our
company will dlsposo of Its $30,000,
000 worth of. Western Union stock.
Tito details are yet to bo arranged.
It wo bad nny plan at this time for
Its disposal It would practically
amount to a confession that wo had
'framed tip' something on tho gov
ernment. "Tho mutter of making contracts
with 20,000 Independent companies
for tlio uao of our Inter-stato and
long distance Hues will entail a gi
gantic amount of work. I fully
realize, that many complaints arc
bound to follow and will bo filed
with tho attorney gonoral, charging
us with giving tho preference to our
own subscribers In making long dis
tance connections. Wo will meet
this by Instructing our own em
ployes to glvo tho proforenco to In
dependent subscribers whenever tho
iiuostlou arises."

Indications wcro that tho impend

President Pleased With Compromise
Euslness Desirous of Conforming

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Interest
wns niill keen hero today iu the de
tails of the agreement between tho
government nnd the American Tele
phone & Telegraph company, which
will prevent litigation to dissolve thu
corporation under the Sherman nnti
truot Inwv Much i!ieiisiou prevnileil
as to whether the compromise prece
dent would bo extruded to the steel
trust.
Democrats nnri republicans wcro
unable to agree nn to the wS.-rimn of
tho compromise. It was character
ized by the democrats as the most
striking indication offered in a de
cade that "big busino-s" has reached
the conclusion that it is better to fol
low tho terms of tho Sherman law
than fight it.
ItepiiMIcans Object
Kepulilioan congrcsMiiuu flatly dis
approved of the compromise. They
declared (he statement of former
Attorney General Wickonrimm to tio

January showed law violations, rii-
criuiiualinns and destruction of com
petition nn tho part Of the "phoun
tru-t." They iiImi iu-isleri that its.
officials should be puui.-licri.
Briefly, the agreement provide
that the corporation shall disnoe
promptly of its holriiues in the Wes
tern I'uioit Telegraph company m
that each concern shall be entirely
iuilepcurient. The company agrees to
not hereafter ncmiire control of other
telephone companies, ami where con
trol of telephone companies 1ms been
aciiiircd, but no actual physical
union effected, to submit ty the inter
stato commerco commission nnd tho
department of justice the courso it
is to pursue.
1'Iciiscn the President
Official' of the department of jus
tice declared today that the plan
gavo tho government more than it
could have hoped to obtain iu court.
President Wilson was greatly pleas
ed witli the compromisu and ho wrotn
Attorney General Melleynolris lo this
effect. One paragraph iu tho presi
dent's letter read:
"I gain the impression morn ami
more from week to week that tho
