Recelved by Slx Senators.
(Br Assoclated Prcm.)
WASHINQTON, D. C. February 7.?
It can be Btated by authorlty that unless
antl-trust leglslatlon, at least satlsfactory
to the admlnlatratlon, ls enacted at tho
present sesslon, Presldent Rooaovolt, on
tho Bth ot March. wlll call an extraor
dinary sesslon of the Fltty-elghth Con
gTcss. The Presldent hlmself has told
members of Congress of hls deslro and
of hls determlnatlon ln thls(regard. It ls
understood that the annouscemont was
dlreot' and unquallfled.
It ls further stated that the determlna?
tlon of' the Prealdent was reached only
after careful conslderatlon of the stren
uous efforts that are belng made to do
feat any antl-trust leglslatlon by Con?
gress. Those efforts havo covered a wlde
range, They were characterlaed to-day
by one promlnent Republlcan leader, to
quote hlm directly, "as the most remark
ablo of whlch I havo had personal 'knowl
edgo durlng my publlc llfe."
Theso efforts cultnlnatod durlng the
rast thirty-slx hours, It 13 now doclarod,
ln dlrect appeals from the Standard Oll
Company, through Its presldent, Mr. John
D, Rockefeller, to members of tho Sen?
ate not to enact any antl-trust legls?
latlon at thls tlme.
No less than slx United States Sen?
ators have recelved telegrams slgned
"John D. Rockefeller," urglng that no
antl-trust leglslatlon be enacted. It
has not been posstble to obtain a copy
of these dlspatches, whlch, lt can be said,
are practlcally idsntlcal. Subatantlally
they read as follows:
"We are Opposed to any antl-trust
leglslatlon. Our counsol. -, wlll aee
you. It must bo stopped."
Aa etated. these telegrams (and lt
must be clear that only the substance nnd
not the exact wordlng Is here glven)
were slgned "John D. Rockefeller."
Yesterday mornlng one of the orjunael
of the Standard Oll Oompony orrlved ln
Washington and called Immediately upon
members of the Senate, as lndlcated la
the telegrams. He dld not remaln long.
Bcarcely had he made known hls busl?
ness than he was lnformcd, a blf curtly,
bhat -hlB presence here was undedrable,

Durlng the afternoon Informatlon non

ed out and became tho subject of some
qulet cloak-room discussion on at CJio Een

some of tho promlnent representatlves
learninr: the glst of the dlspatches. Then
lt became known that this waa not the
ffret time the Standard Oll Company,
through Its attornoys, had endoavorad to
Influence leglslatlon In Congress at thla

ously the enactmont of tho mcasure
