Cabinet Issues Suggestions for
Controlling Combines.
MONOPOLY MUST BE CHECKED.
Discrimination and All Attacks on
Free Competition to Be Made tile-
gal Immediate Action by Con
gress Is Urged.
Washington , Jan. 7. The following
abstract of the attorney general's
recommendations regarding trusts and
combines which wore made public yes
terday , was given out at the white
bouse. It represents the general atti
tude of the administration on the sub-
Sect and was authorized by the presi
dent : The people do not desire the
business of the country to be Inter
fered with beyond the regulation
necessary for the control of corpora-
tlons and to control any tendency to-
wardmonopoly. In this country , where
money Is cheap and abundant , It will
"bo impossible if competition is kept
free. Small enterprises have certain
advantages over largo corporations ,
and will live and thrive If assured of
a fair and open field. Rebates and
. /s. discriminatory rates constitute one of
the chief restrictions on competition.
They unjustly swell the earnings of
favored concerns and support a vast
volume of capital stock , which repre
sents nothing but unfair advantage
over rivals , and contributes largely to
the upbuilding of monopoly. The sit
uation respecting transportation dis
criminations and entry of present
capital into new industries has lately
been Improved. It Is now known that
the amount of capital embarked in independent -
dependent enterprises In the past two
T years at least equals the total capital
of the great combinations formed
iwlthln the previous twelve years.
; Wlth assurance against predatory
S competition , this Improvement will
continue. '
Recommendations for Legislation.
' That all discriminatory practices
affecting Interstate trade bo made of
fenses to be enjoined and punished.
Such legislation to bo directed alike
against those who give and those who
receive Illegal advantages , and to cov
er discrimination In prices as against
competitors In particular localities re
sorted to for the purpose of destroying
competition. In order to reach pro
ducers guilty of these offenses who
nre , as producers merely , beyond na
tional control , a penalty snould DO Im
posed upon the interstate and foreign
transportation of goods produced by
them and federal courts should _ be
given power to restrain such trans
portation at the government's suit.
Such legislation Is necessary because
the existing Interstate commerce law
docs not give an effective remedy in
V this class of cases against either shln-
'
per or carrier.
The casus omissus in the interstate
commerce act should now be supplied
by Imposing a penalty upon carrier
nnd beneficiary alike and by giving to
, the court the right to restrain all such
Infractions of the law.
The prohibition against carriers
should be limited to those subject to
the act to regulate commerce. Only
carriers operating a line of railroader
or a rail and water line as one line
re required to publish tttClr rates
nnd adhere to them. It Is impractica
ble to control lines operating wholly
by water. Rates of water transporta
tion are necessarily open'to the freest
competition , are Invariably low by
comparison and thus , naturally furnish
the utandard of reasonableness with
out express regulation. It should be
made unlawful to transport traffic by
carriers subject to the Interstate com
merce act at less rate than the pub
lished rate , and all who participate in
violating the law should bo punished.
Provision should also bo made to
reach corporations and combinations
which produce wholly within a state ,
but whose products enter Into inter
state commerce. This provision should
relate first to the concerns which fat
ten on rebates , second to concerns
.which sell commodities below the gen
eral price In particular localities or
.which seek to destroy competition.
( There should bo a comprehensive plan
to enable the government to get at all
the facts bearing upon the organiza
tion and practices of concerns engaged
in Interstate commence.
To this end a commission of a spe
cial bureau in the proposed depart
ment of commerce should bo created ,
whose duty it should bo to investigate
the operations of concerns engaeod
in Interstate or foreign commerce , to
gather information and data enabling
r'K it to inuko iccommendatlons for addi
tional legislation , to report to the
oresldent. This would be a first step
in securing proper publicity , mis
commlislon should have authority to
Inquire into the management of any
concern Joins an interstate business
or whenever it becomes necessary or
desirable , it should liavo the author
ity to call for reports from them , to
compel testimony from all witnesses
and the production of booki.papers.etc.
Th so recommendations are based
o.i the cenuul iiiuut.i tuat the lirsi
stop should be taken at a law aimed
at what arc known to be International
practice ! ) directly restrictive of com
merce , and by a law securing some
governmental supervision as outlined
above. A special act should be passed
at once to speed the final decision of
canes pending or Intending to be
raised under the anti-trust laws , pro
viding for ouch cases by a bench ot
circuit judges and direct appeal from
the circuit courts to the supreme
court of the United States.
