CHICAGO, Sept. l4.-Ihe great con-
ference on the uses and abuses of trusts
and combinations began here during
the day with less than half the dele
gates appointed by the various states in
attendance. New York. headed by w.
Bourke Cochran, and Wisconsin were
most numerously represented.
! The meeting took place in Central
Music hall and was called to order at
1880 O'clock by Franklin H. Head, the
temporary chairman appointed by the
Civic Federation, under whose call the
conference was arranged for. The dele.
gates listened to an address of welcome
to Illinois by Attorney General Atkin
on behalf of Governor Tanner, who by
illness was prevented from appearing
in person. Mr.. Atkin was followed by
DR.. Taylor, who welcomed the dele
gates to Chicago on behalf of Mayor
Harrison.
J Evidence Of Sectional Division.
With the progress of the speaking it
became evident that many Of the dele
cations had come with firm convictions
for or against trade combinations. The
speech of Mr.. Wotten of Texas deliv-
cred during the afternoon and hammer
ing trusts in merciless manner
aroused the widest enthusiasm in the
ranks Of the labor representatives and
-aelega items From many Western and
Southern states while the Fasteners
generally smiled critically and kept
their arms folded.
The attempt to round the somewhat
shapeless mass of delegates into work.
ing form resulted in considerable dis
order. Suggestions for the makeup of
q committee to arrange q programme to
be followed the next three days of the
conference came from every part of the
house with such rapidity that it was
with difficulty the temporary chairman
extracted the basis for resolutions
which were finally accepted.
First Day. Proceedinga
After the addresses of welcome Chair.
man Head delivered an address in OK.
planation of the call for the conference.
He was followed by Professor jerks of
Cornell university, who read paper on
"Problems Before the Conference" It
was o'clock before the paper was fin
ished and an adjournment was taken
until o'clock. Chairman Head re-
quested the delegates to remain q few
minutes in order,to organize more COM
pletely and to decide upon the commit
teemen. The afternoon session opened
with . paper by Professor Adams Of
the University Of Wisconsin on the
same subject as his predecessor. Dud.
ley Wotten of Texas came next and he
stirred up enthusiasm Of the camp
meeting variety by his denunciation Of
trusts. Other speakers were John Gra-
ham Brooks Of Cambridge, Mass, and
William Fortune, president of the. In
diana state board of commerce. The
committee on permanent organization
met after the adjournment of the con.
ference and arranged programme for
the remaining days of the conference.
