Brandeis Explains
La Toilette Bill to
Senate Committee

WASHINGTON, Dec. Il. - Louis d.
Brandeis OF Boston today advocated be-
fore the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee the La Toilette bill designed to
supplement the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Brandeis said there was no such
thing as a natural monopoly in Industry
IL the law prohibiting the practices
thnesIEfn which existing combines grew up
nhssGi6 DC clearly defined and enforced, !,
he saaos no uust would arise in the fu-
ture.
supporters Of the La Toilette BILL" he
said, believe in competition In indus
try on economic. social and political
grounds. They agree that only unroa-
sonable restraints of trade should be pro-
hibited. But they believe the law is in
adequate, difficult Of application and un-
satisfactory in it's remedies. They pro-
pose to let the law remain, but to sup
plement 1t with provisions remedying
these defects.
There ore no natural monopolies in in
dustry. Even the Oil trust got control
by ruthless violations Of law, by criminal
rebating bribery and corruption which
brought 1t wealth with which to destroy
competitors by price cutting and like
processes.
THE Steel trust acquired control, not
through greater efficiency. but by buy
ing plants and ore supplies at fabulous
prices. Not one Industrial monopoly is
a natural growth"
Mr.. Brandeis contended that It would
be impracticable for the government to
fix the selling price for monopoly prod
ucts because OF the absence of data to
determine what would constitute a rea-
sonable return on capital.

MEANS DIFFERENCE OF YEAR
Resolution Only Effective Year After
Succeeding January /.
COMMITTEE REPORT ON MONDAY
Attempt to Shorten Usual Procedure
Defeated After Debate.
STATE DEPARTMENT DISCUSSED
CuIIOm Refers to Statement of Pres
ident Taft that He is at Work on
Question and VIII Take
Action After Holidays.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1L-Abrogation OF
the Russian treaty OF 1882 because OF dis
ordinations against American Jews and
others may become the law OF the land
before the Christmas holiday recess Of
congress.
The Sulzer resolution already adopted
by the house, directing the termination of
the treaty after years notice, was
brought up today In the senate The re-
suit of a running debate on the question
of whether to refer it to the committee on
foreign relations or to act Immediately
was an assurance from the committee
that It would report on Monday. The
senate may then adopt either the resolu-
ton, with a slight change, OF the Culber-
son resolution, practically identical.
The debate in the senate included some
discussion of the attitude OF the State
department. Senator Culberson wanted
immediate action on Monday without
refernce to the committee. He contended
that notice of abrogstion cannot take
effect until one year after "the first day
of January following the action OF con-
gress." and therefore. IL the resolution
should fail of adoption before the holi-
days, It could not go into effect until
1914, or more than two years hence.
Senators Cullom and Lodge pleaded for
reference to the committee, Both pledged
their utmost efforts to obtain committee
action in the senate on Monday.
Il have no doubt that we can do it,"
Senator Cullom said.
Mr. Lodge also lent his assurance.
Senator Rainier was somewhat skepti-
call as to the committees ability to agree
within that time. He pointed out the
possibility of differences of opinion.
The time has come for a determination
of this question" he said. THE argu-
ment Is all one way. The treaty has
been violated for the last forty years.
Time and again we have yielded. We
should act now"
Senator Clark of Arkansas contended
that IL the treaty was to be disposed ef
promptly action should be taken yithecss
reference to the sousH4fttee - selst eef1-
gress should either act Immediately upon
the general public demand or go into the
question thoroughly.
Senator'S Lodge, Bacon and Cullom re-
fused to accept the view that the state
department was on trial.
The president has told u.s." Senator
Cullom said, that he is at work on the
question and will have something ready
after the holidays and the secretary of
state assured me a day or two since that
he expected to accomplish something OF
value to the country"
Finally the house resolution was re-
ferred to the foreign relations committee
which win meet on Monday.
