Telephone Trust Dissolves Itself Reorganization Plan Unveiled
Attorney General McReynolds publicized a plan to reorganize the American Telephone and Telegraph Company to separate it from Western Union and ensure competition across U S telephone services. The agreement calls for divestiture of Western Union holdings and independent operation under new management to avoid further antitrust litigation. President Wilson signaled support for lawful business, and the plan does not require immediate sale of all stock but aims to place the Bell system and related firms on distinct, competitive footing.
