WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. II, 1905

ground that there will be antitrust
legislation at this session of Con-
gress. All idea of Il sweeping anti
trust bill has, however, been practi
cally abandoned and the program
now contemplated consists of enact
ing several brief bills amending the
present statutes and making some
Slight additions to the present laws.
Attorney General Knox has sent
to the House, where they were in
troduced by Representative Jenk-
ins, chairman Of the Judiciary Com
mittee, two measures along this
line and the Judiciary committee
has already voted to favorably re-
port one bill which carries into ef-
feet one of Mr.. KnoX's recon-
mendations. 1t provides method
for facilitating court procedure in
antitrust suits brought by the
Federal Government.
One of the Knox bills amends the
Sherman law by forbidding the Civ
ing or receiving of rebates in trans
portation, a fine of $1,000 being
provided. 1t also provides that
any corporation receiving such re-
bate shall be debarred from having
its products transported and forbids
the transportation of such products
if the corporation discriminates in
prices to destroy competition.
The other bill provides for the
appointment of bipartisan com
mission to carry out the provisions
of the Sherman act when amended
as proposed. The Commission is
to have powers similar but much
stronger than those now possessed
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
That the Knox bills will be enact
ed nreciselv as offered is not Hkelv.

all their reasonable demands have

double-header proposition means the
paying out of money for nothing, eX-
cept to bind the bargains the train
men have made with roads in other
sections of the country, and which
would postpone for an indefinite
period the reduction in freight rates
to which we are entitled.
1t should be further remembered
that, in case the principle contended
for by the employees is once granted
there is no knowing how far it may
extend, what other demands may be
made and which would have to be
granted, and how much longer a re-
