TRUST QUESTION
To THE FRONT.
Gardner, Of St. Louis, Presents Anti-1rusts
Resolutions TO the rans-Mississippi Con-
gress and They Are Adopted.
MOTION is CARRIED BY ONE
Resolution Declares the Trust System to Be menace
TO Our Republican Institutions, and Recommend
That II Present Laws Are insufficient More
Stringent Ones Be Enacted.

st. Paul, Aug. 22.-Although yester-
DAYS discussion of the trust question
and the later action Of the resolutions
committee, in ignoring the question,
was regarded as the end Of the consld-
Grafton of that problem before the
Trans Mississippi commercial con-
gress, such has proved not to be the
case. When the congress was called TO
order today for the closing session, j.
A. Gardner of st. Louis moved for the
adoption of the resolutions which he
presented. These slightly differed from
the Wetmore resolutions and preclplt-
uted another lively debate. The point
nf the discussion was more whether
the proposition would be generally
looked un as a partisan action by the
congress than on the merits of the
case. lily a vote of 20 to 10, the resolu
tions were atcp ed as follows:
Whereas, the trust system has been
and is menace to our republican in
stitutions, and whereas, if allowed to
continue TO IOTnl cOlllDlidllOIlS III lHc
restraint of trade and the elimination
of competition, the wealth of the en-
ire country will be concentrated in the
hands of few, and
Whereas the said combinations are
calculated to destroy the hope and am
bition of the youth of the country, 1t
being well understood that the ambition
and the hope of the young men of this
nation made it great, therefore be 1t
Resolved by this congress, that the
president of the United States be re-
spectfully urged to use all the power
vested in his office to the end that the
growing power and the influence of
the trusts may be destroyed, and be it
further,
Resolved, that if, in the wisdom of
the national congress, the laws now on
the statute books are insufficient to
suppress this growing evil, other and
more stringent and efficient laws
should be speedily enacted"
