A VERY HOT DISCUSSION
Fab Busbee offered Resolution to File
Report With Note That it Was Not
the Sentiment of the Bar As
sociation---Report a
Vigorous Doc
ument.
(Bx the Associated Press

Hot Springs, Va, August 27.-At the
morning session OF the American Bar AS
ISOLATION today the annual address was
delivered by Lebaron B. Colt of Rhode
Island, United States judge from the first
circuit. Judge Colts subject was the
"Reasonableness of the Law
'The common law is nothing but rea-
son. was an opening sentence, which was
the keynote of the paper
Walter S. Logan, of New York, made a
verbal report from the Committee on Com
mercial Law He commended the national
bankrupt law and then discussed the trust
question He said it would have to be
settled by the lawyers, if they did not,
the demagogues would. If combinations
continue competition will cease and COM
mercial Jurisprudence will eventually be
entirely changed. The committee, he
said, had reached the unanimous conclu-
sion that modern industrial combinations
should be stayed.
Hon. Charles f. Henderson, of Nebraska,
said the report of the committee had filled
him with Amusement, surprise and indig-
nation. He said the report was calcu-
lated TO rend the association asunder and
he resented the attempt to turn the body
into a political hustings. He asked that
the report be read There was opposi-
ton to the motion and considerable con-
fusion. The convention agreed to hear
the report at once. 1t was read by Chair
man Logan and was very fully discussed
On the subject of trusts the report
says this is the important question now
before the American bar.
The report adds:
The modern combinations primary OBJ
ject is to control the law and commerce
in plain articles of production and sub
stitute a more or less perfect monopoly
in the place of a more or less free compe-
tition. 1t changes entirely the basic
principle Of commercial relations between
man and man, and if they are TO con-
tibue to grow and develop in the future
as in the past will render necessary most
important changes in the principles of our
commercial laws. Combination as an
economic froce is fast coming to take the
place of competition.
We are now having combinations of
ccmbinat tons. The United States Steel
Corporation is combination of dozen
heretofore competing producers VINO
themselves were combinations of still other
producers and these in turn often COM
binations of still others.
1t is estimated that the Standard Oil
Company has taken, by contract or by
force, the business of ten thou.lnd cor
porations and merchants in all parts of
the union. The few present great rail-
road lines of the country have been
made up by the combination of hundreds
OF smaller lines, some extensions of one
another, and others competing lines.
The ambition of the shipping trust,
perhaps the pet project of the great
American combine, has been to control
all the ships that sail the ocean. hun
dred years ago there were hardly two
ships owned by the same individual or
corporation, and even fifty years ago

tragedy of the air. Then they went back
to the sick room to tell of the terrible
struggle for life they had just witnessed.
1t did not occur to them that under their

struggle was going on daily.
There can be nothing more pit1ful
than the struggle the consumptive

help i'll this struggle is gained by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t cures obstinate coughs, weak
and bleeding lungs, emaciation, and
other ailments which if neglected or
unskillfully treated find fatal termina-
ton i'll consumption.
