rae ANrI-rRUsr CoNvENTIoN.

The antitrust convention at Chicago
was sufficiently in earnest to get into a
fight with itself over the ways and
means Of suppressing trusts. The ma
jority, which withdrew from the con-
vention and held one of its own, adopted
resolutions in which theillegal cOmbina-
I-tion bull was taken by the horns with
Nseveral short and sharp whereases and
Ind resolves, Gazing on the executives
md legislatures Of the nation and the
Nates to amend, re-enact ana enforce
laws against trusts.
The trouble Is, there it all ended.
The whole convention, majority and
minority, consented itself with where
asing and resolving that the law should
be amended to as to smash the trusts,
but without recommendations as to ways
and means. Congressional investiga-
tion may and should be able to supply
these and to frame law that will
enable the Attorney General to act
with decision, but the antitrust con
vention was looked to to give valuable
aid in this direction and to assist Con-
gress in dealing with the practical side
Of the question.
About the only action Of the eonven-
tion that gives much promise Of bearing
fruit was the proposition to form an
antitrust association, comprising rep
resentatives from each State and Terri
tory. The matter ought not to be
dropped there.
1T is interesting and significant to
note that resolution eondemning ''the

trust. and demanding "a return 70 BIT
