Washington, Nov. 49, - Seth Low,
president OF the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON and former mayor of New

nerce committee OF the senate his
personal views as to the best methods
for controlling trusts.
He urged the federal license Of all
interstate CORPORATIONS. giving them
Dermission to incorporate with set
tied charter If they so desired He
suggested the appointment of a fed
ssral trade commission to look after
the organization and the acts OF com
Danies operating in more than one
state.
The tendency TO combination in
trade agreements is universal" said
Mr.. Low. The government is under
zaiing the impossible If II tries to
prevent them"
He expressed the belief that many
trade agreements, limiting output,
were in the public interest and should
De regulated rather than prohibited.
Mr.. Low said the government should,
above all things, try the light of pub
aicity on corporations.
In many institutions he said,
the big safes are guarded not by a
Waterman, but an electric light.

Mr.. Low gave TO the committee the
result of poll of 1906 manufactur-

additional antitrust legislation was
necessary. OF this humber S4l de-
sclared that the Sherman law, as now
interpreted, was not clear and work

American trade, and commerce.
A federal incorporation act was IA
