The party was met at the station by a
committee headed by their cousin, A. l.

Outside the station. in an open car
riage, their aged father. Bishop Milton

tratfon fails IN its duty In that respect,
the people OF the country would choose
other officials to represent them and
he declared his firm belief that the Of.
ficers of the steel corporation would be
either Imprisoned or made fugitiyes
from justice.
Just put one of these malefactors
of great wealth in the penitentiary and
you will see the anti-trust law en-
forced without further violations" said
Mr.. Bailey.
Send one of these men who may be
found violating either the Interstate
commerce law or antitrust law, to the
penitentiary and you will stop these
violations by others. You cannot do 1t
with fines, because when the court
fines trust, the trust fines the people,
and as long as the punishment is meas
ured In dollars and cents, they viii
continue to violate the law. Men take
the chance OF pecuniary loss in the
hope of realizing a greater pecuniary
gain. Send one of them to the peni-
Tertiary ana IT win work like magic.
THE millionaire" continued Mr.
Bailey who was receiving the rapt at
tention OF the Senator's on both sides of
the chamber, values one thing more
than his fortune, and that is his liberty.
He does not love Justice. He does not
love that peace of mind for which
others struggle. But he loves his
liberty"
Mr. Bailey said he expected the
United States Steel corporation would
be dissolved. Continuing he said:
