will be represented , by delegations. The im

by the faet that in nearly every instance
the governor presided over tho Initial meet

they will concentrate their efforts for uni
form state legislation and their method of
procedure. While at tiitv national confer

usplcoe of the fednrafjqn, uniformity was
urged upon over fifty. Important subjects,

largely nrounu lety sui))octa, town: "Hegu-

the commercial bills of the uniform Btate

At one session there will be considered
the questions: "Is the piece work, bonus

"How successful Is profit-sharing In the

ANTI-TRUST FIGHT RENEWED
(Continued from First Tage.)
lster enters Into commerce. The bulwark
behind which the tobacco organisation Is
making Its fight along this line Is the
famous Knight decision, mad even morn
famous by the reference to it by former
President Roosevelt last fall In criticising
the decision of the supreme court. In
that case the court declined to suppress an
alleged monopoly In manufacture of sugar,
on th ground that It had authority to
proceed only by way of preventing mon
opolies In commerce. The tobacco corpora
tions claim that they are concerned only
Incidentally in commerce.
Again the dispute as to what Is Included
In the word "Commerce," referred to
In the Sherman nntl-trust law. arises in
connection with the character of a hold
ing company. Both the Standard Oil and
the tobacco organisations contend that
the power granted by the constitution to
regulate Interstate commerce Is not so
extensive as to include regulation of the
acquisition and ownership of a holding
company of stock In other corporations.
The government argues that whenever a
holding company necessarily stifles or di
rectly and substantially restrict free
competition in commerce the rtilted States
has power to protect such commerce.
What Is "Heatrnlnt f "
In the contest regarding the answer to
the (uestlon of "What Is 'restraint' of
trade or commerce?" the first dispute is
over the interpretation of "restraint of
trade" as equivalent to "the absence of frea
competition." The government advances
the theolry that reduction of competi
tion means a restraint on trade and con
sequently higher prices. The corporation
urge that a combination of producers may
mean a reduction of expenses and con
sequently lower prices. .
Th government further contends that the
Sherman anti-trust law refers only to such
restraint aa are direct and material. On
Judg In passing on ther- tobacco .case. In
tha circuit court held that the law referred
to every restraint without regard to di
rectness or materiality. It Is said that
this doctrine would stifle legitimate busi
ness. The defendant organisations do not
press this argument so much, because they
claim In their cases that no direct and
material restraint of com mere exists. This
claim is based upon the argument that
they are engaged principally, not In Inter
state commerce as were the railroads tn
the northern securities' case, but In the
manufacture of goods, which may go Into
interstate commerce later.
The third division of the contest is over
th interpretation of the word ''mono
polize." The Standard ' Oil la particularly
concerned wlh this ' phase of the ' con-
I troversy, because the lower court found
that lt was attempting- to monopolize. At
torneys for the company advance the
argument that under the law It could
legally acquire the trade of the world In
an article provided lt did nothing to
prevent others from competing with It.
They declare the Standard Oil has done
nothing to prevent other from competing.
Success lias come to It, so they claim, be
cause of "untiring energy. Infinite skjll,
abundant capital and steady reinvestment
of early profit." The government has piled
up volume on volume to support Its con
tention that success waa achieved by un
fair competition.
Corporation Tax Cases.
The corporation' tag cases, eighteen in
all. Involve entirely different arguments.
The corporation tax provisions of the
Payne-Aldrich tarltc act provide for "a
special excise tax with respect to the
carrying on or doing business" by cor
porations, "equivalent to one per centum
upon th entire net incom over and above
I6.0U0."
Kach of th cases was originated In
various circuit court by persona finan
cially Interested In th tax not being paid.
These person asked th courts to enjoin
Ih payment of the tax by respective cor
porations because th tax waa unconsti
tutional. Th validity of th tax was up
held In each case.
The law Is opposed principally on the
grounds that It attack th sovereignty of
the state by taxing state franchises; that
It Invades the right to due process of law
by levying a tax on tlaset-a fixed
arbitrarily; and that It Is a direct tax not
apportioned among the states, as required
by the constitution.

PINCHOT FILES ALASKA BRIEF
President it Advued to Cancel Cun

EXECUTIVE Mlsl MEET ISSUE
Document a a a N o Transfer of laat
lo I nnrl tan Keller C blef
Ksernllre of Reapon
alblllt v.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1 "-President Taft
was appealed to today by former Forester
Gifford Flnehol and his brother. Amos IMn
cliot, to cancel Immediately, without fur
ther hearing, the so-called Cunningham Al
aska coal claims. In a voluminous brief
filed with the president In accordance with
permission given In a letter written to
them by Secretary Norton on November ,
Mr. IMnchot and his brother contend that
the record In the case "abundantly prove
that the claims are Illegal and that from
the beginning the claimants have con
spired to defraud the government."
"No report to a court or to a rehear
ing of the case is necessary- to serure Jus
tice and protect the people's property,"
says the brief. The case against the claim
ants Is already conclusive. We believe
the duty of the executive In regard to
the claims Is obvious and Immediate. The
claims should be cancelled by the presi
dent forthwith.
Kxecutlte Moat Meet laane.
' No transfer of the Cunningham cases
to a court for a decision uion the present
record would relieve the executive de
partment of responsibility for failure to
have the case against the claimants fully
presented by attorneys of experience nd
ability and for omitting to produce all
evidence of fraud available," declares the
brief, after charging that "In sp te of the
clearness of the existing proof, we be.
Hi ve It to be our public duty to point out
that the whole of the ease against the
claimants has not been presented.
"The evidence In this case goes far
ther than to establish the fraud of at
tempting by subterfuge to acquire from
the government more coat land than the
law allows. It shows that from the be
ginning the claimants acted with the def
inite and sustained Intention of defeat
ing the primary purpose and essential spirit
of the law the spirit and purpose to pre
vent monopoly and secure competitive de
velopment of the national resources."
Kegardlng the effect of monopoly In
Alaska, the brief says:
"It Is evident that an enormous saving
can be mado to the people of Alaska, to
the whole northwest and to the United
States navy If only these coal mines are
opened under conditions of competition."
It charges that "tha Industries of Alaska
have been for yeats largely In the hands
of a great and oppressive monopoly, the
Guggenheim syndicate, which ' ha kept
out other capital, throttled competition
and held Alaska at a standstill."
Five Line of Evidence.
The brief recite that the case for the
government Is supported by five main
line of evidence, cited as follows:
"First The history of the operation of
the Cunningham entrymen In Alaska, as
derived from their own records, and stale
ments, shows that from beginning to end
they are all members of a single associ
ation engaged In acquiring a Joint prop
erty and that the claimant never owned
these claims separately.
"Second The book of account of th
Cunningham group and the report made
by it agents are all evidently baaed on
the' 'assumption ' that ' all ' the claim ar
one property owned by on association.
"Third From first to last, th subscribers
took no Interest whatever In th situation
or value of th particular claim entered
In their respective name.
"Fourth Within th shortest practicable
time after 1 final certificate war Iseued,
th Cunningham associate took steps to
turn over their claims to a corporation
on a basis of equal share.
"Fifth Mor than one-half of tha claim
ants hav admitted In affidavit that they
had always acted with a mutual under
standing that . they would combine their
claims after title was secured and on so
confessed at the hearings."
Discussing the charge that' important
evidence against the claimant waa sup
pressed by the land office agents, the brief
says: -
"John W. Dudley, register of the land
office at Juneau, Alaska, on of these
gents, went so far aa to advls Cunning
ham specifically how on of th claimants,
who had told the truth In hi affidavit,
would chang hi statement so aa to strike
out evidence of fraud and avoid investi
gation which will at least In vol v an In
terminable delay."
