transportation Of freight at less than
the published rate, such penalties
to be born by both carrier and
shipper.
Provision be made to reach COM
bines which produce wholly within
one state but engage in interstate
trade.
Provisions be made to collect in
formation in regard to corporations
engaged in interstate commerce,
and for this purpose a bureau be
created in the proposed Department
of Commerce.
A special law be passed to speed
the fnal decision of suits begun
under the present antitrust law.
Mr. Knox wrote a letter to the
chairman of the committee of the
Senate and House in charge of trust
bills. which embodies these propo-

Washington, Jan. 6.-The day
in the Senate was eventful, because
of notable speech by Senator Hoar r
on his bill regulating trusts and an
attack by Senator Vest on protec-
ted industry through the operation
of the Dingley law. Senator Hoar's
utterancs was listened to with
marked attention. He argued that
if his bill should become law and
prove effective no corporation enga-
ged in the commerce which is with
in the Jurisdiction of Congress
should keep its condition secret.
Senator Vest used as text for
his remarks his resolution introdu-
.ced Monday instructing the COM
mittee on finance to prepare and
report bill removing the duty on
coal. Feeble in the extreme and
supporting himself on his desk, he
called attention to the condition of
distress which has arisen as result
of the shortage in the coal supply.
There was breathless silence in the
chamber as he spoke, and every
Senator on the floor turned in his
direction in order to catch his
words.
Aldrich took exception to some
of Vests statements, and at-his re-
quest the resolution, went over till
tomorrow, when Aldrich will make
reply.
