PASS ELKINs BILL.
Law Which Aid in the Fight Against
the Trusts Goes Through.

Washington, Feb. 17.-There was no
debate in the senate Saturday when
the Elkins bill, as passed by the house,
finally was adopted. This makes GER
tain that a bill TO prevent the giving
or receiving of rebates will reach the
president. He already has signifed
his readiness to sign it.
This will complete the program OF
antitrust legislation for this session.
II involves the publicity feature of the
department of commerce law, the ex-
petition of all proceedings against ele
trusts under the direction of the at
torney general, and the prevention OF
illegal rebates by providing for a fine
of both the giver and the receiver.
The house amended the Elkins bill
in such a way that an individual can
be relieved from prosecution because
of testimony given to the corporation
so that il any officer of a corporation
testifies TO the existence of an illegal
rebate he cannot be punished on his
own testimony, but the corporation for
which he works is none the less sub
jected to fine for his actions.
No Chance for LittIefield Bill.
There is no chance for the passage
of the LittlefieId bill through the SEN
ate. II may be amended and reported
out of Senator Hoar's committee and
it will be perfected to such a degree as
TO be ready for introduction at the
opening Of the next session of CON
gress.
President Roosevelt and the strongest
opponents of the trusts have come to
the conclusion, il is understood that
congress has gone about as far in the
direction of the regulation OF corpora
tons as it is desirable TO go at the
| present time.
The line between the legitimate
business enterprise and the illegiti.
mate monopoly called trust fre1uent.
ly is hard to determine. II is believed.
therefore, that the interests of enc
people will be served best by maktg
haste slowly.
The new corporation bureau of the
department Of commerce will not be
| in operation for some time yet. II has
TO be organized entirely new from Gle
ground up, and it may take a year or
two before a system of statistics can
be devised which will furnish the
necessary information as to the regu-
lation OF the trusts.
