Attorney General Grisgs Denies sayiua
Congress Cannot Control Trusts

congress Cannes Control Trusts
Washington, September 26.-Attorney
General Griggs has written the follow
ing reply TO a letter recently received
by him from Governor Pingree, Of
Michigan:
II am in receipt of your letter of the
21st instant, asking me to send you a
copy Of my opinion to the effect that
under the constitution Of the United
States congress cannot enact a law
which would be effective in suppressing
trusts, so-called.'
In reply, I beg to say tina have
eve rendered, either officially or I'M
officially, any opinion of this kind. On
the contrary, this department has been
engaged in bringing numerous suits in
the United States courts under the
Sherman act of July 2, 1890, entitled
An Act to Protect Trade and Com
merce gainst Unlawful Restraints and
Monopodes.' in several Of which cases,
VIGOROUSLY that against the Trans
Missouri Freight Association, 166 U. s..
290, n that against the Joint Traffic
Association, Ill U. s.. sos. the result
has been he suppression by decree of
the court of the offending agreement
or association. =
You may possibly have reference to
a letter Of mine to a private citizen
published several months g in the
newspapers wherein 1 called attention
to the act that the only jurisdiction
that congress has over combinations or
contracts in restraint of trade, vas in
relation to those which directly affect
ed interstate commerce. That this is
true, and that this is the full extent
; of the Sherman Trust act, you will as
; certain by reading the decision Of the
United States supreme court in the
! case of Hopkins VS.. the United States,
III u. s., SIS, and the case of the Unit
ed States VS.. E. C. knight Company,
156 u. S.. /.
you are doubtless aware that it is
not the right or function of the federal
| government to interfere with business
| transactions carried on within the sew
eral states, except pom some ground
expressly authorized by the constitu-
ton.
Congress can regulate directly that
| which we understand by Interstate
| commerce. but it has no power to regu-
late or control business or commerce
| carried on wholly within the limits OF
a state.
81 have called your attention to these
matters, not because l assume that you
| are ignorant of them, for you doubt
| less understand them we'll, but only in
order to explain to o that I have moi
| given, and could not possibly have Civ
, eni, any opinion of the purport express
f, ed in your letter."
