A STORY WITH A MORAL.

A man who was too economical
to subscribe for his home paper sent
his little boy to borrow the copy TAX
en- by his neighbor. In his haste the
boy ran over a four dollar stand of
bees, and In ten minutes looked like
warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and, failing to notice
barbed wire fence, ran into it, break
ing it down, cutting a handful Of
flesh from his anatomy and running a
pair of five dollar pants. The old COW
took advantage of the gap in the
fence and got into the corn field and
killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife ran, up
set four gallon churn Of rich cream
into a basket of kittens, drowning
the whole flock. In her hurry she
dropped a twenty-five dollar set Of
false teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled cream
and into the parlor, running twenty
dollar carpet. During the excitement
the oldest daughter ran away with
the hired man, the dog broke up elev-
en- setting hens, and the calves got
out and chewed the tails off four

that he had prepared against the
trust.
AS a result Of the facts learned in
this fight and the experience it in
volved, Mr.. Hearst drafted and intro
duced his bill increasing the powers
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which was later taken up by the
President and made the basis of the
national legislation of last winter
and of more stringent laws for public
service corporations that have since
been adopted in most Of the States.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-27

In signed editorial in the New
York American April %, 1908, it was
declared that the purpose Of the pros
ecution was to smash the criminal
Coal Trust, and that the end of this
oppressive combination would begin
the end Of other similar combina~
tions.
The decision Of the Government to
proceed upon the lines of this long
fight is the promise that the predic-
tions made in that editorial will be
fulflled.-Theh American, New York.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-27

Mr.. Hearst s chief counsel spent
the next five days laying detailed
evidence before General Burnett, who
reported thereon to Attorney-General
Knox that the charges were sustained,
and recommended that prosecution be
begun. General Burnett's report
was suppressed by the Attorney-Gen.
eral, and no action was taken.
After waiting until it appeared
certain that the Acknowledgement In
tended to do nothing, Mr.. Hearst
transferred the campaign to the In
terstate Commerce Commission, be-
fore which he fled complaint en-
bodying the same charges.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sen began on April q, 1903, hearing
on Mr.. Heartst's charges, and Baer,
Thomas, Truesdale and all other
heads of railroads involved in the
Coal Trust were put upon the stand
and examined for weeks, with the
result that the disclosures attracted
universal attention.
It was proved that the average
cost of transporting coal to tidewa-
ter was eighty cents ton, whereas
the freight rate charged by the rail
roads was one dollar and fifty-fve
cents ton on domestic sizes.
It was also proved that the in
creased cost of mining caused by the
strike was only fifty-three cents
ton, whereas the increase in the sell
ing price of domestic sizes was one
dollar and nineteen cents ton.
In other words, taking one of the
railroads as an example, it was shown
that as a result of the strike this
road was one million two hundred
thousand dollars better off in 1908
that it had been in 1900.
Determinations against shippers
running as high as fifty cents ton
were proved, and minutes Of secret
meetings of the trust agents were put
In evidenc, whrein the agents were
known by numbers, and dealers that
cut trust prices were blacklisted.
In this investigation the trust re-
fused to produce "coal purchase"
contracts and their contracts with the
"Temple Iron Company" because
these contracts incriminated them.
The "coal purchase contracts
proved illegal determinations and the
"Temple Iron Company" contracts
proved criminal combination under
the Antitrust law.
On this Mr.. Hearst's counsel car
ried the matter to the Supreme
Court of the United States, which, on
April 4, 1904, decided in Mr.. Hearst s
favor and compelled Baer to produce
the contracts in question.
The case now went back to the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
which resumed its hearings, and the
contracts were put in evidence, sus-
tanning all of Mr.. Hearst's conten-
tions. AS a result of this hearing the
Interstate Commerce Commission
turned over all its evidence to the
Department Of Justice of the Nation
