Resolution Comes Up In House
Asking For Investigation
of Armor Plate Trust
UNCLE SAM is HELD UP
Attorney General Instructed to Inform
the House What Steps Have Been
Taken to Bring Proceedings For
Violation of Anti Trust Law-Re-
ferred to judiciary Committee.

Washington. Feb 25.-Representative
Vandiver of Missouri introduced the
following resolution in the house:
"Resoved that the attorney general
venience, whether or not amy proceed
ings have been instituted either civil
or criminal against the armor plate
trust, and if not, Why not, and fur

Resolved, That the attorney general
also inform the house what steps have
been taken by him to determine wheth-
err or not the said armor plate trust
should be prosecuted for violation of
the United States antitrust law of
July 2, 1890, or othe Unit 1 States
statutes against trust; and combines
in restraint of trade"
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee.
A preamble to the resolution recites
that on September 8, 1901, the attorney
general was petitioned to institute civil
and criminal proceedings against the
Carnegie Steel Company and the Beth
lehem Steel Company, as combining ana
constituting what the petition alleged
was an armor plate trust for controls
ing the price of armor plate, and that
there was filed with the attorney gem
eral and with the president a statement
OF facts and evidence showing con-
spiracy whereby the trade and COM
merce in armor plate had been monop-
olized and the ;irmor plate trust en-
abled to sell many thousands of tons
of armor plate to the United States
government at prices ranging from S445
to $500 per ton after a duly appointed
board of expert naval constructors had
reported that the actual cost OF the
arnor did not exceed $197 per ton.
The preamble further alleged an
agreement between the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies as to prices and
that they have divided the contracts
of the government between themselves
each bidding lower than the other for
half of the armor required at any time
by the government. Additional evil

stated to the house committee on naval
affairs that the bids of the Bethlehem
and Carnegie companies on $50 tons of
armor plate, which had been opened on
January H. last, We're discovered to be
identical. In spite of these accumulate
ed evidences, the preamble said, the
secretary of the navy awarded con-
tracts to these two companies at $453
per ton, when an independent company
outside of the trust had offered to fur
nish exactly the same armor for $39S
per ton, thus, the preamble said, in
creasing the cost to the government $55

A few Florida newspapers advocate
giving the Railroad Commission more
power. The present law is ample for
all purposes, as it permits the commits
sion to do everything that could be
delegated by additional statute. The
commission cannot interfere with rail-
road charges on interstate commerce,
and il discrimination by the corpora
lions in carrying charges between
points within the State is not corrected
it is the fault OF the commission and
not OF the law. We believe the COM
mission has acted for what was deemed
best for all interests, but we confess
that its establishment has not re-
bounded materially to the commercial
interests Of interior towns Many be-
lieve that as much could be accom-
plished by statute fixing freight and
passenger rates as can possibly be
accomplished by the commission, and
the expense OF the latter thereby saved
to the taxpayers. II is not likely
however, that the experiment will be
tried in the near future.
