President Wilson backs government control of telegraph and telephone
Washington reports that President Wilson urged Congress to authorize government takeover of telegraph, telephone, and radio systems amid Western Union operators strike threats. Attorney General said current law lacks power to act during recess. House committees move to fast track the bill. The president may wait for strike developments before acting, with support voiced by Burleson and Baker, Daniels, and Sen. Shepard. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company signaled no objection to registration and government control.
