THE PRESIDENT TO HAVE RIII FOR
THEIR CONTROL INTRODUCED
IN CONGRESS.

oyster Bay. Long Island. July 5.-It has been
ascertained that the Presidents remarks in ref
erence to the trust question in his speech at
Plttsburg yesterday were the forerunners of de-
termined efforts by him to have Congress take
up that subject and enact definite legislation
for the control and supervision Of trusts at its
next session. Recently the President and At
torney General Knox held a conference with
Representative Littleheld of Maine. whose
knowledge of constitutional law is admitted. at
which Mr.. Littleffeld was invited to prepare a
bill for the regulation and control of the trusts
which will go before Congress with the indorse-
ment and influence of the President back of it.
The bill will be submitted at the beginning Of
the next session, but before this is done the
President, Attorney General Knox and Mr. Lit
tlefeld will have frequent conferences as to the
details.
In addition to this proposed action the Presi-
dent Is going TO talk upon the trust question a
good deal on the several trips 10 be made by
him in the autumn He has announced to
friends that the question is vital one. and that
he proposes to push il vigorously until there is
some action by Congress.
