TRADE BOARD is
ASKED IN SENATE
Plan Presented to Control Big Cor.
porations-Check on Trusts
Is Aim.

Neutrality-suspicious. Newlands of
Nevada introduced bill in the house
providing for an interstate trade COM
mission for the regulation and control
of industrial corporations.
Broadly speaking, it is proposed
that the new commission shall bear
the same relation toward industrial
corporations as the interstate COM
merce commission does toward the
railroads Of the country.
The scope of Mr.. Newlands' propo-
sition is far-reaching and embodies
as well the principal features of Pres
ident Taft's plan for federal incorpora-
ton as other desirable qualities that
have been demonstrated as lacking in
recent efforts to control big business
1t is provided at the outset that all
corporations engaged in interstate
trade whose annual gross receipts ex-
coed 100000 shall come under the
jurisdiction of the commission, though
smaller corporations may, If they de-
sire, accept the benefits and the re-
sponsibilities Of the plan. 1t is not
proposed that the commission shall
in any way have power to regulate
prices, but In practically every other
respect the new body will have dras-
tic power in keeping the big indus
trial concerns within the law.
For example, before a company sub
ject to the provisions Of the bill can
engage in interstate trade it shall be
required to be registered by the COM
mission, which register shall only be
granted after satisfactory statements
as to capitalizations, methods of
financing and general business opera
ton. All registered corporations will
be required to make annual reports,
the information contained in them to
be free to the public, and for improper
financial organization, oppressive or
unfair methods of competition, accept
ance of rebates concessions, or other
determinations, refusal to allow the
commission free access to books and
papers, or noncompliance with any
judicial decree rendered under the
Sherman law, the commission may
cancel the registration of any Ger.
poration and, in extreme cases, debar
a corporation from engaging in inter
state trade.
Similarly the proposed commission
will have supervisory power over the
capitalization of all corporations COM
ing within its scope. A concern re-
ceiving a register from the commits
sion shall be known as a United
States registered company" The COM
mission is to be composed of five
members, to be appointed by the pres
ident, with the consent of the senate,
and not more than three of the COM
missioners shall be members of the
same political party.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0RERS
MEET AT ATLANTIC CITY
Attendance Is Greatest in History OF
Organization-Many Prominent
Men to Speak

Atlantic City, N. s.-The attend
ance upon the twenty-ffth inter
national convention of the Christian
Endeavor society which opened here
is the largest that was ever present
at any previous meeting of the or
ganization.
That the most sanguine predictions
of those in charge of the great con-
vention have been surpassed Is tubi-
lantly admitted at headquarters, and
when a reason for the vast attend
ance is sought the officials point with
pride to the long and interesting pro-
gram devised for the delegates in
struction and amusement, and the list
of prominent speakers who have sig
nified their intention of addressing
the delegates and visitors. Among
the latter are: President Taft, Speak
er Champ Clark, former vice-presi-
dent Charles w. Fairbanks, Judge
Ben Lindsey of Denver. Booker t.
Washington, Commander Eva Booth
of the Salvation Army, Rev. F. j.
Horsefield, president of the British
Christian Endeavor Union; Rev. G.
Fukuda of Japan, Rev. H. l. Marshall
OF Burma, Rev. p S. Gray OF New
Zealand. John Wanamaker of Phila-
delphia, and a score or more of prom
inent pastors and specialists in Chris
tian Endeavor work from many de-
nominations and missionaries from
foreign lands.
The convention was opened on
the million dollar pier by an
address from President Francis e.
Clark. DID. LID. prayer and praise
services, and a musical program.
which included some special music
by the Hawaiian delegates and the
Washington chorus. Among those
who spoke were John T. Sproull, pres
ident of the New Jersey State Chris
tan Endeavor Union; Rev. Howard
B. Crosse. d. D., vice-president of the
board of trustees, and William Shaw,
general secretary of the society.

RECIPROCITY ACT
WINS TEST VOTE
CumminS' Free Meat Amendment
Beaten in Senate.
DEFEATED BY BIG MARGIN
Foreshadows That President Will
Have His Way in Getting Cana
dian Tariff Agreement Through
Congress Without Change.

Washington.-Pres Taft gain
ed a victory when the senate, in
the first test vote on the Cana
80, the amendment proposed by Sen
ator Cummins placing meats of all
kinds coming from Canada ON the
free list. The IA votes cast for the
amendment will be undoubtedly cast
against the passage of the bill.
This action foreshadows the course
of the senate with respect to other
amendments. 1t has been apparent
for some time that the president would
have his way in getting through un-
amended the Canadian reciprocity
compact.
The rejection of the first Cummins
amendment demonstrates that this ex-
pectation was we'll founded.
On account of the absence of so
many senators from Washington only
bare quorum voted. The vote was
as follows, the yea votes indicating
opposition to the Taft program:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Bourne,
Bristow, Clapp, Clark (Wyo) Cum
Minis, Dixon, Gronna, Kenyon, Nelson,
Sutherland-11 Democrats-Bailey
Simmons, Thornton-3
Nays Republicans Brandegee,
Burnham, Burton, Crane, Cullom, Cur
It's. Hepburn, Jones, Lippitt, Page,
Poindexter, Smoot, Wetmore-13. Dem
ocrats-Bryan, Chamberlain. Chiffon,
Fletcher, Gore, Hitchcock, Johnson,
Johnston, Martin, MARITIME, Myers,
owen, Pomerene, Reed, Shively, Smith,
Stone, Swanson, Williams-19.
An analysis OF the vote shows the
progressives voted as a unit for the
Cummins proposal They were sup
ported by three Republicans usually
numbered among the regulars-Clark
of Wyoming, Sutherland Of Utah and
Nelson of Minnesota. Mr.. Sutherland
always has been an Independent and
Mr.. Nelson knows no ties with respect
to tariff questions. He is accounted a
low tariff man. Only three Democrats
voted for free meats
1t Is expected the fourteen votes
cast for the amendment will be cast
against the passage of the reciprocity
dill.
The Democrats who voted against
the Cummins amendment did so on
the ground that it's adoption would
open the door to countless other
amendments and result in the defeat
of the agreement.
Most Of the Republicans who voted
against the amendment were actuated
by a desire to comply with the presi-
dents wishes.
1t Is expected that vote will be
taken Tuesday or Wednesday on other
amendments offered by Senator Cum
minis and Senator Simmons, designed
70 add manufactures of raw materials,
such as -four, to the free list, which
amendments will probably be voted
down.
AS soon as reciprocity is out of the
way, the leaders in the senate will at
tempt to reach an agreement for a
vote on the Democratic farmers free
list BILL" and the bill revising the
wooden duties.

ANTHRACITE TRUST
AGAIN UNDER FIRE
Validity of Commodities Clause
to Be Tested.
SUIT AGAINST LEHIGH FILED
Government ReneWs Its Action to
Break Up Control of Mines by
Railroads i'm Eastern
Field.

Washington.-The government will
renew the fight to separate
the great coal carrying railroads from
their virtual control of mines, and
thus vitalize the commodities clause
of the interstate commerce law. A
test case against the Lehigh Valley
railroad was filed In the United States
court in Philadelphia.
That the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, Coke Bros, Inc, the New York
& Middlefield Railroad and Coal COM
pany and the Locust Mountain Coal
and Iron company are not bona f1de
coal companies, but merely adjuncts
to the Lehigh Valley railroad. and are
devices for evading the commodity
clause" is the governments principal
complaint
1t Is also alleged that the Lehigh
Valley railroad, with the object of re
moving competition, has caused the
Lehigh Valley Coal company to con-
tract at a loss for the output of other
anthracite operators, has transported
the coal over it's own lines and through
Tic COdI CUM pdulSo uA6u IuS plL(S III
New York and other markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying Of coal from other
operators has been done at a loss to
the coal company it has enabled the
Lehigh Valley railroad to transport
the coal over it's lines and profit from
the freight charges.
To support its claim that the coal
company is merely the dummy
through which the railroad engaged in
mining, transporting and selling coal
in violation of the commodities clause,
the government cites that the officers
of the railroad and the coal company
are the same and that certain mem
bers of the directorate and the execu-
tive committee of the railroad are
members of the directorate and execu-
tive committee of the coal company.
Among these named are Eben B.
Thomas, George F. Baker, E. T. States
bury and James A. Middleton.
Each of them, 1t is charged. has
been named to his position in the coal
company because of his position with
the railroad. 1t is set forth that the
coal company uses the railroad COM
pany's offices and does its business
over the railroad company's desks.
AS further allegation that the lie
high Coal company is an adjunct OF
the Lehigh Valley railroad the gov
ernment's complaint says that since
the capital stock of the coal company
has been owned by the railroad it has
paid no dividends, that millions of dol
lars have been advanced by the rail-
road to the coal company which have
never been refunded, and that the rail
road has paid the interest upon the
coal company's bonds, being compen-
stated, the government claims, by the
earnings from transportation of coal
over it's lines.
While in effect the government &C
ton is a blow at the so-called coal
trust, the case is separate from that
suit which is now on appeal to the
Supreme court.

SIGHT TROUBLE WITH CASTRO.
U. S. Government Officials Much Con-
cerned Over ExiIed President.

cerned over Exticd PreSIdent.
Washington. - The landing of for
mer President Castro in Vene-
zuela is regarded by the government
officials here as a matter which is
pregnant with great trouble for the
navy.
1t appears to be an established prin-
ciple that the United States is bound
to support the government of Gomez,
he having been elevated to the presi-
dency by the naval demonstration
against Castro which made his fight
to obtain the presidency fruitless. In
addition to that, President Gomez en-
tered into an agreement with the
United States for a settlement of
claims which had been repudiated by
Castro and there was a tacit interna-
tional agreement that no nation would
allow Castro a base from which to OPP
crate against Gomez.
1t is stated here that should Castro
surprise Caracas and set up a govern
ment he would be kept there until the
United States shall have found means
to dislodge him. In order to make Cas-
tro's usurpation valueless it is under
stood that the navy will assist the
Gomez government in retaining pos
session of La Guayra and all the sea-
ports of Venezuela which are access,
ible to the ships of the navy.
