A WRECKING TRINITY
NOTABLE UTTERANCEs ON TRUSTS

Declares the Trust Idea a Dead Bus-

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-In a speech tonight
before the Bankers club, Charles NJ
Schwab, president Of the United States
Steel corporation, declared that the
trust is a dead business proposition, built
on a trinity that would wreck anything
the restriction of trade, the Increase OF
prices and the throttling Of competition.
In distinction from the trust he de-
clared that consolidation had for it's guld-
ing principles the reverse Of this trinity
that instead Of restricting it expanded
trade by creating new avenues and re-
ducing the prices of commodities pro
duced.
Of the relations Of capital and labor
Mr.. Schwab said: Touching On the re-
lations existing between labor and com
binations l beg to state that tie great

country has resulted. Wages have stead

Many people think that the bonds OF

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 21.-The propos-

cuss a plan for preventing the Northern
Securities company from bringing about
the practical consolidation of the North
ern Pacific, Great Northern and Burling-
ton, will be held in Helena on Monday
Dec 80 This was agreed upon today
by Gov. Van SAINT, of Minnesota, and
Gov Toole, after an Interchange OF tele-
grams The, Minnesota governor asked
Gov Toole if the date and place named
would be acceptable. Gov. Toole re-
piled in the affirmative.
In discussing the decision that had
been reached Gov. Toole said:
Gov. Van SAINT, Of Minnesota. has had
under consideration for some time the
advisability of calling a conference OF
governors of the Northwestern states
at some central and convenient place, to
consider the scheme of railroad con-
solidation manifestly contemplated by the
organization of the Northern Securities
company corporation lately organized
under the laws of New Jersey.
81 am advised by Gov. Van SAINT that
such a conference is expected to be held
on the 30th Of tkds month. I have wired
him that, so far as I am concerned, the
time, place and purpose of the confer
ence is agreeable and asked him to assure
the distinguished gentlemen whom he has
invited of cordial welcome to Montana.
/ do not know who will be here but
am advised that the conference Is expect
ed to include the attorney generals Of
the several Northwestern states as well
as the governors.

IMPORTANT BILLS WELL ALONG
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, d. C.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-In sixteen
working days congress has made a falr
start in dealing with some of the I'M
portant questions that are up for set
Element. There are congratulations on
all sides over the progress made With
the work preliminary to the construction
Of the isthn1ian canal. AT last this great
public question has been lifted entirely
out Of politics, and, while there are OBJ
stacles to be encountered, 1t Is believed
they will all be pushed aside and the
actual construction of the waterway be-
gun within reasonable time. The treaty
having been ratified, congress will on re-
convening devote itself to the considera-
ton of a bill providing for the const1Ec-
ton of the canal.
In the senate the Morgan bill Is PEND
ing, and in the house the Hepburn bill.
Both estimate the cost of the canal at
$50, 600 600. Mr. Morgan would appropri-
ate IS 5OOo. 600 for beginning work, while
Mr.. Hepburn would double that amount.
The senate bill proposes to put the work
In charge Of a board, while the house
bill provides that it. shall be done TN
der the direction Of the war department.
Promise of Celebrity.
The influence Of the Panama company
and the railroads is yet an unknown
quantity, but 1t does not seem possible
that 1t will be strong enough to delay
the carrying out of the programme that
has been agreed upon.
The house made quick work Of the

derson named his committees unusually
early in the session, and within rea-
sonable time after the recess they ought
to be able to pass on the mass of sug-
gestions in the way Of bills that nave
been submitted. Such a flood Of hills
and resolutions was never before ex-
perienced in the house Something like

5000 are now in the hands Of the various
committees. Nearly one-haR of them
are private pension bills or bills to cor
rect the records of veterans Of the Civil
war.
1t would seem that the subjects that
will receive first attention in each branch
after the recess are the Chinese exclu-
sion act, protection for the president.
suppression Of anarchy, irrigation, Pacific
cable, and the admission of territories to
statehood. On these questions bills that
will be agreeable to both branches have
already been partially worked out.
It Is regarded as significant that with-
in the last ten days some of the rep
resentatives from the Middle West have
shown disposition to break over the
barriers put up by the leaders who insist
on a "do-nothing" policy on tariff and
reciprocity. Indications of restlessnesS
have become more noticeable from day
to day. 1t will be surprise if there is
not break before the end of january
Representative Hemenway, Of Indiana,
who stands near the top of the appropria.
tions committee, declares he will be heard
in favor of "do-something policy" and
some of the other Indiana members, in
cluding Representative Watson, are anX-
ious to speak out. From all accounts it
is the news from home that Is arous1ng
the Western members.
Representative Babcock says he has
not abandoned his campaign for tariff
reductions; but unless the ways and
means committee unbends he Is helpless
without the support of goodly number
of Republicans on the floor Of the house.
Evidently he has no thought Of coming
In with an Independent bill, but there
Is hope that If the storm breaks in the
house 1t may come with such force that
the committea will ba obliged TO omen
the way for free and full discussion Of
the tariff question.
The brake is still set against reciprocity.
1t Is believed that there Is only one
thing that would cause the leaders to
change their attitude and that is a de-
mand unmistakable fro many sections
Of the country for action.
