BOUND TO BE DISSATISFIED.

The professional trust-busters in Wash
ington, the statesmen who denounce all
combinations In production as monopolies
which must be destroyed. but who will not
present a plan by which the destruction
may be accomplished. said to be great
ly disguised because all the prominent
men who connected with extensive
manufacturing combinations are in favor of
the legislation proposed by Congress for
the regulation of trusts, as they are called.
They have been expecting and predicting
that everfy combination would send a lobby
to Washington to defeat any legislation
which shall seem TO be a recognition of
the right of Congress to regulate such
really interstate combinations. These men
are surprised that the great railroad cor
porations are more than willing to have a
law enacted which will prohibit the grant
ing of rebates and even the solicitation of
them. 1t makes them suspicious, for they
cannot see that the railway company which
issues rebates usually does so under COM
pulsion and parts with a portion of it's
earnings as often as it does so. They will
not see that a manufacturing combination
whose business is on a sound basis desires
publicity for the reason that it prefers to
have Its stocks sell at par. They ignore
the fact that the managers of weak trusts,
burdened by issues of watered stock, shrink
from an exposure of their assets and their
transactions. and the spectators who de-
clare that publicity will keep them out of
the stock market are those who now deal
in 'industrials" of doubtful value
The truth is that the trusts which are
in the nature of monopolies have been made
so by railroad rebates. The Standard Oil
Company attained its commanding strength
by rebates. 1t not only had a rebate of a
goodly size upon the oil it shipped but,
strange as it may seem, competitors oil
was made to pay the same rebate into
the Standards treasury. All of the meat
combinations are the favorites of the sys-
tenn of railroad rebates, and while they
have been made a monopoly by lavish re-
bates the revenues of the railroads have
been correspondingly decreased. These
| facts have weight with the demagogue
who sees politics in the trust question.
| He will continue to rant about monopoly
and offer no remedy except some impos-
sible one like placing trust-made goods
| upon the free list, which would be equiva-
lent to putting all the great staples manu-
featured in the country by independent
| competitors as well as by combinations
upon the free list. Nothing else will salts
| fly him.

.ELKINS'S ANTITRUST BILL
TT Is AIMED AT RAILWAYS ENGAGED
IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Recommendations OF Attorney Gem
eraI Knox Embodied I'm the Meas
ure-Other Proposed Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Elkins
to-day introduced a bill which covers the
features of antitrust legislation as far as
it relates to railroads. Ii contains the
provisions which have been recommended
by Attorney General Knox as TO the pun
ishment of those who receive as well as
those who give rebates. Ii provides Tor
the punishment Of corporations by fine In
stead Of imprisonment of the officials. also
for injunctions TO prevent determinations.
The Elkins bill is the result OF conferences
among various senator's. most OF them
being members OF the acknowledgements
committee. Its purpose is TO separate inter-
state commerce and railroads from other
trust legislation. The Interstate-commerce
Commission has been unable to agree upon
measures which have been pending before
it relating to pooling and fixing rates by
the Interstate-commerce Commission. The
new bill leaves these contested questions
out and covers features which have been
most conspicuous in the preparation or
antitrust legislation. The bill was re-
ferred to the committee on interstate COM
merce, of which Senator Elkins is chair
man, and ii is the intention of the COM
mittee to take ii up at an early day: Among
tnoSe VINO nave DSt1l tOiiSu4lCU III tiit PitP-
aration of the bill besides Mr.. Knox were
Senators Aldrich. Cullom, Foraker, Clapp
and others.
Among other provisions of the bill are the
following: The willful failure 10 nle tarih
rates and failure TO observe them subjects
the road to fine of $1,000 or S2oov. Grant
ing or receiving rebates subjects the cor
porations or persons TO the same fine. The
Interstate-commerce Commission can In
stitute suits in the United States courts
for supposed infractions OF the law. IL Is
the duty of United States district attorneys
under direction of the attorney general 10
institute and prosecute suits provided Tor
in the act. The bill gives the courts power
to compel the attendance of witnesses, both
carrier and shipper who are required TO an
swer on all subjects relating directly or
indirectly TO the controversy; the court
also can compel the production of all books
and papers, but all witnesses shall have the
same immunity from prosecution and pun
ishment as now provided by law.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The subcommit-
tee of the House committee on naval affairs.
which is investigating the charge made by
Representative Lessler. of New York, that
he had been approached for the purpose
of influencing his action a member OF
the committee on the proposition to author
ize the construction of submarine torpedo
boats, will make at least a partial report
to the full committee tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Lessler was before the subcommittee
again to-day and made an additional state
ment In his statement he Is said 10 have
used the names of an ex-representative
from New York and another prominent
New York politician. The proceedings OF
the committee were secret and all the men,
bers were unusually reticent. Mr.. Lessler
himself also declined TO make any state
ment for publication.
During a vigorous cross-examination, IL
was with some reluctance that Mr. LESSER
disclosed names in connection with the
charges he made, but finally, on pressure,
gave two names. One of the persons named.
the last election il he did not vote as de-
sired on certain propositions. The other
name he used in connection with his
charges of an attempt TO influence his vote
by pecuniary considerations. Mr.. Lessler's
charges said to have lacked definite
ness when he was Intercepted by MEM
bers of the subcommittee. The substance
of his story not that he had been actu-
ally offered a bride of 5000 but that IL
had been intimated TO him that he could get
