DIVIDED ON TRUSTS
Industrial Commissioners I'm.
able to Agree on Report on
Trust Question.
Probable That Three Separate
Reports Will Be Made on
That Subject.
All Urge the Need of Publicity
in Control Of the
Combines.

New York, Oct. 14.-Wide division OF
opinion in the Industrial commission
will be shown In it's report to congress
on trusts, says the Washington dispatch
to the New York Herald, and there will
be at least three diverse recommends
tions, as follows:
81. Stricter antitrust legislation by
the several states and by congress,
without altering the present relations
between their respective Jurisdictions.
2. The delegation by congress to the
states of it's interstate commerce juris-
diction, so as to allow the states to
regulate manufacturing or trading cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce
g. The assumption by the national
government of a larger and perhaps ex-
elusive control of all such corporations,
and their regulation by act of congress. y
These three methods of meeting the
trust problem have been designated for
convenience by the commission. as. first,
the present system improved; second.
the state control system, and, third, the
system of federal control
Publicity is conspicuous and i'm
iportant feature of each of these sys-
tens. 1t will be recommended in each
of the three reports that trusts be re-
CURED to show not only their gross and
net earnings, but also the character Of
the receipts and expenditures and the
form of the agreements under which the
constituent corporations are operating.
This subject of trusts is the rock on
which the commission will split. The
members have been discussing the mat
ter with view to securing majority
report. but it has become evident to all
that their divergence Of opinion will.
prevent this.
The commission will recommend the
enactment of more stringent immigra-
ton laws. Considerable attention has
been given to this subject, and the
members are practically unanimous in
their views on how the existing statutes
should be amended. The assassination
of President Mckinley has inspired a
strong recommendation.
The commission will urge the estab-
lishment of system of inspection of all
emigrants at the ports OF embarkation
in Europe, with view to detecting per-
sons of anarchistic tendencies who in
tend to eail for the United States. where
they may have more freedom in adyan-
cling their propaganda of assassination.
This system, 1t is proposed. shall be OPP
Grated In conjunction with the govern
ments of Europe.
Two other methods of preventing the
arrival OF anarchists from abroad will
be suggested. The first is to apply to
cabin passengers the same rigorous
rules of inspection to which steerage
must submit on arrival att
the point of debarkation in the United
States. The second is to extend the
period Of possible deportation from one
year to two or more years. Under the
present law any alien who has resided
in this country twelve months is ex-
empt from deportation. These PROPOSE
tions are calculated to affect other I'M
desirable foreigners than anarchists.
There is little sentiment in the commits
sion in favor OF an educational test for
the average immigrant.
The members of the commission have
given heed to the urgent requests of la
bo organizations that the bars against
oriental immigration shall not be low
