TRUST QUESTION
CONGRESSMAN HEARST WOULD
HAVE 1T INVESTIGATED.
RESOLUTIONS FOR COMMITTEE
Evil Effects of the Great Combinations
Recited-Means Already Existing to
Curb Trusts Ought to BE RisldIy En-
forced. ...

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Representa'
1--we Hearst of New York on Friday in
troduced resolutions providing for an
investigation of the trust question by
n committee of five members of the
house The resolutions contain ten
clauses. reciting the evil effects oil
trusts on the country, among them be-
ing the following
Numerous illegal combinations
known as trusts have been formed to
absorb or eliminate competition and
establish virtual monopolies with
view to controlling production and
raising the price of their products.
Such extortionate trusts as the
beef trust and the coal trust and the
ice trust have arbitrarily increased the
cost of the necessities of life to the
public.
Such speculative trusts as the ship
yards and the steel trust have inflated
their stock to many times its actual
values and sold to the public transfer
ing the peoples money from banks and
legitimate investments into the peck
cts of trust promoters and spectators.
Industrial unrest has been foment-
ed by the increased cost of living and
by the consequent necessary efforts OF
labor to make it's wages keep pace
with the increased cost of living.
Such trusts as the steel trust. in
spite of the increased cost of living
have ruthlessly cut down the wages of
hundreds of thousands of employees in
order to pay dividends on watered
stock. and other trusts have wholly
collapsed, throwing hundreds of thou
sands of workmen out of EMPLOYMENT.
The purchasing power of the com
munity has been diminished by the ac-
tions of the trusts by unsound methods,
which have misled the people, swim
died them and robbed them of their
savings.
"All classes of the community are
being made to feel the evil effect of
Of the unrestrained greed and lawless
practices OF the trusts
The committee is directed to inform
the house fully on the trust situation,
to the end that more effective laws
may be prepared and passed by con-
gress. regulating and restrictly COM
binations. The committee is empow-
cred to send for persons and papers.
An additional resolution states that
1T is the sense of this house and 1t
does recommend. that the laws al
ready existing against the trusts be
in the meanwhile enforced by the ex-
| pcutiyp branch of this government and
the legal representatives thereof"
The resolutions were referred to the
| committee on rules.

The house committee on public
lands agreed to amendments which it
will recommend to the bill reported
to the house January 81 prohibiting
the selection of timber lands in lieu
of land in forest reserves. The amend
ments agreed upon allow owners of
lands in forest reserves, which lands
have not been denuded of timber, to
exchange the same for other vacant
surveyed unmineral lands subject to
homestead entries, The purpose of
the bin is TO prevent persons who have
acquired timber lands and denuded
the same from exchanging such lands
for valuable timbered lands elsewhere.
The amendment prevents an injustice
TO persons who have not denuded their
holdings in forest reserves,

WILLARD SEES THE PRESIDENT
No Change in U. S. District Attorney
at Present.

WASHINGTON. - While at the
White house Senator Willard talked
to the president about the case of Will
hanson S. Summers, United States
attorney for Nebraska, whose re-
moval from Office It is said has been
promised by the president to Edward
Rosewater of Omaha and Senator
Dietrich of Nebraska. Senator Mil
lard put the matter to the president
in such a way that no change will be
made in the Office for some time at
least, and Summers will remain where
he is until Senator Millard is fully
agreed that he ought to be succeeded
by someone else. Senator Willard has
not yet reached the point of assent
to this proposition.
1t is said there is no question that
Summers will eventually fail of reap
pointment, but the president will not
care to hasten his removal until Sen
ator Willard is willing.
