ANTITRUST LAW
Passed by the House, Saturday With
Only One Dissenting Vote.

A bill passed the House, Saturday,
amending the Sherman Trust Law,
making 1t more sweeping in it's pro-
visions. Only one vote was cast against
it, and that by Republican. All but
eight Republicans voted for it.
The bill amends the Sherman Anti
Trust Law so as to declare every con-
tract or combination in the form of q
trust or conspiracy in restraint of
commerce among the States or with
foreign nations illegal and every party
to such contract or combination guilty
of crime punishable by a fine of not
less than $500 nor more than IS, 200,
and by imprisonment for not less
than six months nor more than
q year. 1t provides. that any
person injured by violation of the pro
visions of the law may recover three
fourths damages. The definition "per-
son" and persons in the present law
Is enlarged so as to include the agents,
officers or attorneys of corporations.
For purposes of commerce it declares
illegal all corporations or associations
formed for carrying on business for
purposes declared illegal by the com.
mon law; provides that they may be
perpetuaally enjoined from carrying or
interstate commerce and forbids them
the use of the United States mails. Il
provides for the production of persons
and papers and confers jurisdiction
upon United States Circuit and District
Courts for the trial of causes under it
and authorizes any person, firm, corpo
ration, or association to begin and pros
ecute proceedings under it.

FRIDAY and Saturday, the Republi-
cans and Democrats in the House play
ed what they thought was a smart
game of politics on each other; but they
both only made an exhibition Of how
blind political leaders may become
when they mistake trickery for honest
politics. The Republicans had pre-
pared joint resolution, proposing
Constitutional amendment, giving Con-
gress full power to legislate against
the evil of Trusts. This was recogni-
tion of the fact that Trusts are an evil
that should be legislated against; and
that it is so great an evil, that it war;
rants change of our fundamental law
to check or destroy it. This being
true, the Republicans should not toy
with it, but pass law to deal
with it at once. They have power to
do so, and they do propose. to pass a
bill. The proposed Constitutional
amendment was there for mere play
to trap the Democrats. Bryan had de-
Clareu III ldNOT VI oil uhouuluCut
against Trusts, and they wanted to put
his party on record, against it, and did
so. For the Democrats, all but two or
three voted against it, and defeated its
passage, as it required two-thirds
vote. The Democrats voted against it,
to defeat it, to make political capital
for the coming campaign, knowing
that the Republicans would be held
responsible for having done nothing to
destroy the Trusts. Meantime, while
the representatives of the two parties
are playing politics at Washington, the
Trusts go on robbing the people. This
week bill will be up for consideration
in the House that will legislate against
Trusts. The Democrats cannot defeat
it, for a majority can pass it. The two
parties will therefore go squarely on
record upon it, and the efficiency of the
hill. will demonstrate the sincerity of
the Republican leaders in their de-
clared purpose to suppress the evil.
Let us hope, that the play is over, and
that a measure will be enacted that
will not only check, but destroy the
evil.
