Representative Corliss, OF Michigan. was
given a hearing before the House COM
mittee on judiciary to-day on his resolu-
ton directing the attorney general toAin-
stitute proceedings against the Comrler-
cial Gable Company for alleged combination
with other companies. Mr.. Corliss declared
there had been a deliberate violation OF
the laws against combination, and that
the effect was TO advance the cost OF cable
messages on the Atlantic 12L cents a wors.
Chairman Ray and the members OF the
mmit asked a number OF questions
which developed rather sharp division over
the resolution. Mr.. Corliss said the matter
had not been brought 10 the attention of
the attorney general, so far as he knew,
but he desired that the committee take
cognizance of facts which showed an Of
Tense against the law and refer the SUBJ
ject TO the attorney general for his inves-
tigation and action. MIR. Littleheld made
the point that If the subject had never been
brought before the attorney general he
could not be remiss in not acting on IL,
and until he declined TO act Congress was
not warranted in giving him directions. He
thought this amounted TO a reflection on
the attorney general. Mr.. Corliss dis
claimed any purpose of making such rehec-
ton. He simply stated facts. he said, pre-
went into executive session and unanimous
ly reported against the resolution on the
ground that Mr.. Corliss had not presented
a case calling for the action proposed.
