4 SPEECH ON THE TRUSTS.
Milwaukee. April 4.-President Roose-
welt yesterday spoke on the subject of
TRUSTS" in this city. He reviewed
what has been accomplished in their
regulation and control during the past
eighteen months. He said the majority
of the American people is not against
wealth as such, nor Is the abolition of
large corporations desired. They must
be regulated SO far as is necessary to
subserve public good. After quoting
from his addresses advocating publici-
ty, the president said in part:
.aThe views thus expressed have now
received effect by the wise. conserva-
tive, and yet far-reaching legislation
enacted by congress at its last session"
I'm It's wisdom congress enacted the
very important law providing De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor, and
further providing therein under the
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor for
a Commissioner Of Corporations,
charged with the duty Of supervision
of and making intelligent investiga-
tion into the organization and conduct |
Of corporations engaged in Interstate |
commerce. His powers to expose illegal
or hurtful practices and to obtain all
information needful for the purposes Of |
further intelligent legislation seem ad-
eouate; and the publicity justifiable
and proper for public purposes is satis- |
factorily guaranteed.
"some 1s months ago the Industrial
Commission, an able and non-partisan
body, reported to congress the result OF
their investigation Of trusts and indus
trial combinations. One Of the most
important of their conclusions was that
determinations in freight rates and IA
cilities were granted favored shippers
BY the railroads and that these dis
examinations clearly tended toward the
control Of production and prices IN
many fields Of business by large combi-
nations. Many of the great packing
house concerns were shown to be IN
combination with each other and with
most Of the great railway lines, where-
by they enjoyed large secret conces-
sions IN rates: and thus obtained prac-
tical monopoly Of the fresh and cured
meat industry Of the country"

drawn to the matter. enacted most
