Welt proposes to complete his railroad and
corporations program during the coming
season OF congress and to end the agita-
Gon. IN conferences he has had with high
Officials g. his administration the last few
days. the president explained the inten-
ton in no uncertain language and to car

road and corporation interests. The form
or now are consulting among themselves
with a view to reaching an arrangement
with the chief executive.
Prosecution OF the paper. turpont!ne to-
bacco, powder. oil, and other trusts nro-
posal in two OF the suits that RECEIVERS he
appointed to dissolve combinations. and
the enormous fine levied against the Stand
ard have convinced the corporations tina,
not only must they obey the existing law.
but they may expect legislation curta1l-
ing the unlimited W they heretofore
have enjoyed.
The spectacle Is presented today of rail-
roads which vigorously fought the rate
policy of the president flying to him for
protection against the states, and were II
not for the heavy punishment inflicted by
Judge Lands OF the federal service upon
the Standard. this would be the course
pursued by corporations. The matter is a
pressing one for the interests" because
the president has begun the annual mes
sage he is required to submit to congress
when 1t shall convene in December.
One reason why the president and tho
railroads assailed are anxious to end the
railroads agitation is found in the ASSOC
citation of jurisdiction over carriers by the
states. The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has declared that the interstate ra Ia
shall not exceed tho sum of locals. but
there is such a bewildering mass OF rates
not only for passengers. but for freight.
that railroads. to say nothing of the feder-
al government, hardly know when they are
under state or federal law. 1t is a condi-
ton Of chaos hat the president antici-
pated. He proposes to restore order as far
as he can by making interstate railroads
subject only to federal control through the
method of a national license law.
