INGALLS, ASSAILS LAWS.
Antitrust aud Rate Measures Roundly
Scored.

Put-in-Bay, Ohio, (Special) .-Prcsi-
dent NJ +. ingalls, of the Merchants
National Bank of Cincinnati and chair
man OF the Big Four Railway, in an adj
dress before the Ohio Bankers Asso-
citation, created something of stir by
declaring that the greatest menace to
American business and banking interests
today is the various trade laws which
have been passed, particularly the Hep
burn and the Sherman acts.
The United States, he said, had just
started in its development and this de-
velopment depends upon wise and gener-
GUS encouragement Yet, under the con-
struction placed upon the Sherman act
by the courts, business man who comes
to any agreement with competitors is
guilty OF an act in restraint OF trade and
is liable to punishment. Mr. ingalls,
believed that the common people would
suffer more from such a suppression OF
business as a result of this law than
anyone else.
Mr.. ingalls,, describing the new Hep
burn bill, said il was the shippers who
tempted the railroads He thought the
laws recently passed by Congress and
numerous State Legislatures ought to
be entitled Laws in restraint Of the
commerce Of the country" Mr. ingalls,
predicted that within two years the halls
of Congress would be filled with ship
pers demanding change in the recently
enacted statutes.
Prosperity in America, he said, was
now at a great height He sounded a
note warning against the growing ten
dency OF extravaganza among the Ameri-
can people As an illustration he point
ed TO the fact that $4oo,oooooo had been
spent in automobiles in the last three or
four years, and this was but one item.
