"A third amendment to the act should
provide that the commission may, by
order, suspend, modify or annul any
changes in the rules or regulations which
impose undue burdens on shippers. No
doubt ought to be left with respect to
the power of the commission on such a
subject. because the rules and regulations
of railway are the means by which
injustice may be done to the shipper.
1T would seem well to empower the
commission to compel connecting car
riers to unite in forming a through route
and to fix the rate and appOrtiOnment
thereof among the carriers. The commits
sion should also be empowered to pre-
scribe the rules and regulations under
which the shippers shall have the privi-
lege to designate the route over which
their shipments shall be carried to the
destination beyond that of the first car
rier.
Another most important amendment of
the interstate commerce law-part OF
which was specifically promised in the
Platforms prohibition against any in
terstate railroad company acquiring stock
in any competing railroad in the future,
and a further provision that no railroad
engaged in Interstate commerce shall,
after a certain date, hold stock in a COM
peting railroad, and the further amend
ment that after the passage of the
amending act no railroad company en-
gagged in interstate commerce shall issue
any additional stock or bonds or other
obligations except with the approval of
the commission, based upon a finding by
the commission that the same are issued.

Rate Agreements Favored.

rate Agreements EaVoTeo.
I'm addition to amendments In the
laws which look to a rather more drastic
regulation of railroad rates than hereto
fore another provision should be added
by which railroads may be permitted to
agree upon traffic rates and to make con-
tracts with respect to rates that shall NOT
be pooling contracts, but shall constitute
agreements as to rates-provided always
that such agreements shall receive the
approval of the interstate commerce
commission. In this wise the operation or
the antitrust law against traffic agree
ments between railroads will be abol-
ished, and against their absolute prohl-
bition would be substituted requirement
that such agreements shall meet the APP
prevail of a properly constituted trlpunai.
This brings me to the question or the
antitrust law. While we have not thrasneo
the whole matter out so as to reacn
definite conclusion, am strongly inclined
to the view that the way to make the
antitrust law more effective is to narrow
its scope somewhat. so that ii shall not
include in its prohibition and Remuneration
as a crime anything but a conspiracy or
combination or contract entered into with
actual intent to monopolize or suppress
competition in interstate trade.
''At the common law all contracts In re-
straint of trade. except those which were
cline to enforce. The antitrust law de-
nounces such contracts when in restraint
of interstate trade as criminal, whether
made with intent to mOnopolize or to sup
press competition OR without intent to do
either
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-09-20
All Combinations the Same.

"All combinations to suppress COMPETE
ton or to maintain a monopoly in whole
or in part of interstate trade are and
should be in violation of the antitrust
law and should be punished as such: and
there is no room for the expression-rea-
sonable or unreasonable-in this general
view of the statute.
IF the statute were limited to COM
binations, conSpiracies and contracts to
restrain trade with intent to monopolize
interstate trade, or with intent to sup
press competition therein, it would prob
of the boycott against. goods going into
interstate trade. because such a boycott
is a restraint against interstate trade with
the intention to restrain it, but it is not a
restraint of interstate trade with intent
either to suppress competition or to MAIN
tain a monopoly of the goods with re-
spect to which the contract is made.
II am entirely opposed to excepting
from the operation of any law or gen.
eral application a class of persons like
laborers or workingmen or farmers or
minister's or teachers or lawyers. Take
the present antitrust laws, therefore,
and insert special exception to the APP
plication Of that law by providing that
class, and it would be legislation of the
most vicious character. but when you
make the law apply only to conspiracies
seeking to suppress competition or to
monopOlize the trade, then the labor boy
colt Is probably not included, simply be-
cause the statute would not seem wide
enough to include 1t in its scope, and
this result is obtained without classical
ton legislation at all.

An Unfair ADVANTAGE,


Il am in favor Of this change, because
believe that the ordinary action in
equity by injunction in any place where
the boycott Is operative can effectively
accomplish all the purposes that ought
to be accomplished in the suppression of
such an evil
''On the other hand to apply to the anti
trust law for the purpose OF suppressing
evils growing out Of the labor organiza-
lions is to take advantage against such
unlawful labor organizations Of the literal
terms OF statute which probably was
not intended to include that which judi
clai construction could not avoid includ-
ing within Its words.
1t would probably seem wise to estab-
lish an accusatory bureau in the Depart
ment OF Justice to institute prosecutions
Tor violations Of the interstate commerce
law and OF the antitrust law, while it
would be wise to continue the bureau OF
corporations. charging its scope some
what, perhaps, to maintain the registra-
ton corporations and the Investigation
into their operation 50 far as interest ate
trade is concerned.
1T has been found most difficult to sep
arate the administrative from the quasi
judicial functions Of the interstate COM
merce commission, but 1t is thought that
it would be wise to take away from them
any responsibility in regard to the inves-
tigation Of the validity of their orders
before the interstate commerce commits
sion court and to leave the maintenance
OF those orders to .he Department Of JUS
tice when the appeal comes on to be
heard in the court.
THE two statues which must claim the
attention Of our Congress in its next ses-
sion are the interstate commerce law and
the antitrust law.
Outstanding National Resources.
Another series of questions for Con-
gross are with reference to the conserva-

ably report so that it's final conclusion
may be considered at the end of the

to the work which this Congress has to

ures ! have proposed will consume all

Tends to Monopoly.

"The theory seemed to be that con-
tract in restraint of interstate trade
tended to a monopoly, and therefore
should be denounced because of it's ten
dency, whether there was any actual pur-
pose on the part Of the person making it
to monopolize or suppress competition or
not.
This feature of the present antitrust
law has, 1t seems to ME, weakened its
force. because it has seemed to bring
within the condemnation Of the law con-
tracts and other arrangements which
were actually innocent in their character,
rious combinations which it was the real
intent Of the law to suppress. If the
crimes denounced in the law were con-
fined to combinations, conspiracies and
contracts made with intent to monopolize
or partially monopolize interstate trade.
trade, then the real object of the law
would come within its denunciation, and
no one could declare it's opinion to be un-
reasonable in that it included lot OF in
nocent contracts or arrangements.
1T has been suggested that the law
ought to limit its denunciation to those
contracts in restraint of trade that are
limitation. It seems to be proposed to
leave to the judges to decide what COM
binations and contracts in restraint of
trade ought to be permitted to exist and
to be enforced on general grounds OF
public policy-in other words. to have the
court attempt to establish some lines be-
tween what are called good and bad
trusts, as If the suppression of competi-
ton in some cases was good thing and
in other cases was bad. / cannot agree
that such distinction could be properly
made.
