plaint was drawn up by me, but is signed
by United states Attorney General Moody

The action is based upon afttaavits of
men who were formerly in the combine
and who state that while the defendants
to the action are apparently separate con-
Germs, they in reality are all under control
of the Otis Elevator company. The effect
of this pooling of interests is to enhance
prices and restrict trade with the view to
controlling all the elevator business on the
Pacific coast, with the probability that this
is but branch of a gigantic trust that
controls the elevator output all over the

visions hof the Sherman law and we believe
that we have ample evidence against the

The afidavits of the men set forth in the
complaint, whose names l do not now re-

personal knowledge. A great quantity of
material of firms not in the combine has
gone to waste. there being no sale for II.
This case has been carefully prepared and
will be pushed vigorously. In every phase

suited and / regard the case as clear and
strong against all the long list of defend

absorbing topic and groups Of senators met
in earnest but informal consideration OF

doubt no bill has been before congress in
years that has been given so much atten-
ton when the issue between the opposing
factions has been one that could be settled
through the use of so few words. The
question is the choice Of the words.

state Commerce commission has from the
first been the only real issue between the
opposing factions one faction, that sup
porting the bill In its present FORM de-
clares that it has no objection TO railroads

the assertion that this Is provided by the
present bill The other positive faction
contends that It wants the same thing, but
