sci to the United States and widely
advertised by the republicans as the
great trust buster, has received thous-
ands of dollars from the government
at the same time that he was receiv-
ing big fees for acting at attorney for
subsidiary concerns of the steel trust,
was developed in testimony before the
Stanley committee.
1t appears that Mr. Kellogg, besides
pOcketing the $4,000 recently paid him
by the government for serving as
trust buster" under Roosevelt, also
received from the steel trust $4,000
as extra compensation for legal ser
vices rendered their corporations.
On Oct. %, 1907, Mr.. Kellogg was
proven by his own testimony and do
cumentary evidence in possession Of
the committee to have received a
second $4,000 for extra services.
These sums were received by him
in addition to the regular salary re-
ceiVed by his firm from the trusts for
many years past, and the last pay
ment was made in the midst of the
panic and only two or three days be-
fore the famous conference of Gray
and H. G. Prick (ruling spirits Of
steel trust) with President Roosevelt,
whereby they gained the permission
of the president to commit criminal
violation of the laws oft he United
States by absorbing the Tennessee
Coal Iron & Railway company, there
by discriminating their principal COM
petitOr.
This situation becomes still more re-
markable when it is recalled that the
man who appointed Kellogg Philander
c. Knox, now secretary of state was
the man who went from the employ Of
the steel trust to the Office of at
torney general and who refused in 1901
to prosecute the steel trust when con-
vincing evidence Of it's violations of
law We're laid before him by the anti
trust league.
Bristow Leads Reactionaries.
Senator Bristow Of Kansas, assisted
by the solid delegation of special priv
ilege senators, succeeded in lacking an
amendment to the resolution providing
for the direct election of senators.
which greatly endangers and may de-
feat that measure.
Bristow pretended the amendment,
which retains federal control over the
elections, would strengthen the prob
ability of its final passage, when the
fact is Bristow knew, as did every
other senator in the chamber that the
amendment would endanger and per-
haps defeat the ratification of the
resolution by the necessary three
fourths of the states.
The Bristow amendment is the same
by Sutherland of Utah and the ring of
Wall street bussaneers in the senate
in the last session to defeat direct
senatorial elections.
The men who worked hardest for the
Rristow amendment were Lorimer Of
Illinois, Guggenhefm Of Colorado, Cum
Minis of Iowa, Lippitt Of Hhode Island,
Clapp Of Minnesota, Smoot of Utah
and Stephenson of Wisconsin.
The Bristow amendment was fought
by LaFollette, Gronna, Borah, Poin-
dexter ard Works. republicans and
every { 49," r"nate save one.
