In &. discussion of the antitrust con-
vention recently held in Chicago the
Pittsburg Dispatch says:
IF the conference had any legitimate
purpose it was to discuss the gigantic
combinations which have arisen in the
commercial and Industrial world; to de-
wise measures for their regulation, or
repression, maybe. But the first def
mite action of the gathering has been to
plunge into the arena of politics on a
question that has not even a remote re
lation to the subject of trusts. The re-
suit is to discredit, in advance, any ac-
tiOp that may be taken in regard to the
trusts"
In the paragraph quoted the conven-
TONS action in relation to the cur
rency bill is what is referred to.
The opinion of the Dispatch is already
at variance with that of many eminent
gentlemen who regard the national
banking trust as the greatest and most
dangerous of all trusts.
