Common Stock Ownership.
It has been assumed that the pres.
ent pro rata and. common ownership in
all these companies by former stock
holders Of the trust would insure a
continuance OF the same old single con-
troll Of all the companies into which
the trust has by decree been disinte-
grated. This is erroneous and is based
upon the assumed inef1cacy and innoc-
uousness Of judicial injunctions. The
companies are ,enjoined from co-opera.

necessarily be activity by all the com.
panies under different managers, and
then competition must follow or there
will be activity by one company and
stagnation by another. Only a short
time will inevitably lead to a change

to. be an attempt to restore. old fash
toned methods of destructive. competi-
ton between small units: and to make
impossible those useful combinations
of capital and. the reduction Of the cost
of. production that are essential to con-
tinued prosperity and normal growth.
In the recent decisions the supreme
court makes clear that there is moth.
ing in the statute which condemns
combinations of capital or mere b.
ness Of plant organized'to secure econ.
omy in production and a reduction Of
its cost. 1t is. only, when the purpose
or necessary effect, of the organization
and maintenance Of the combination
or the aggregation OF immense size are
the sitting Of competition. actual and
potential, and the enhancing Of prices
and establishing a monopoly that the
statute Is violated. Mere size is no
sin against the law.. The merging of
two OF more business plants necessari-
~ eliminates competition between the
units thus combined, but this elimina-
ton is in contravention Of the statute
only when the combination is made for
purpose of ending this particular COM
petition in order to secure control Of
and enhance prices and create a mo-
nopoly.
Lack Of D%efniteness In the Statute.
The complaint is made Of the stat
ute that it is not sufficiently definite
in it's description Of that which is for
hidden to enable business men to avoid
its violation. The suggestion is that
we may have a combination Of two
corporations which may run IN for
years and that subsequently the at
torney general may conclude that it
was a violation Of thu statute and that
which was supposed by the combiners
to be innocent then turns out to be a
combination in violation Of the statute.
The answer to this Hypothetical case
is that when men attempt to amass
such stupendous capital as will enable
them to suppress competition, control
prices and establish q monopoly they
know the purpose Of their acts. Men
do not do such a thing without having
it clearly in mind. IL what they do Is
merely for the purpose Of reducing the
cost Of production. without the thought
Of s%uppressing competition by use of the
bigness Of the plant they are creating.
then they cannot be convicted at the
time the union is made. nor can they
be convicted. later unless it happen
that later on they conclude to sup
press competition and take the usual
methods for doing'so and thus estab-
iish for themselves a monopoly. They
can in such a case hardly complain if
the motive which subsequently is dis.
closed IL attributed by the court to the
original combination.

Washington, May 31.-The recent
decisions of the supreme court in the
Standard Oh and American Tobacco
cases will result in a sweeping at
tempt to secure criminal conviction of
violators OF the antitrust law, ac-
cording to Attorney General Wicker
sham, who appeared today before the
house committee on expenditures in
the department of justice.
Mr.. wtckersham was questioned
chiefly by Representative Bell of
Texas, chairman of the committee,
concerning the sale by the govern
ment of Friar lands in the Philippines
to the American Sugar Refining Com
pany. He said that Henry w. Taft
attorney for the government '1icor1ce
trust" a part of the American To-
bacco, Company. Mr.. Wickersham de-
clared that after he became attorney
general, John Hays Hammond repre-
sented Strong and Cadwalader as
counsel for the so-called sugar trust
in the purchase OF Friar lands. He
added that at the time he gave his
opinion permitting the sale OF these
lands, he did not know that Hammond
represented the president Of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company, Mr..
Havemeyer.
When asked about the connection Of
the firm with steel affairs, MIR. Wick
ersham said:
Il personally have advised the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation in one or
two matters"
sDid Strong and Cadwalader ever
represent the New York cotton ex-
changer" asked Chairman Beall
-"Yes, Henry w. Taft WIS counsel
for the exchange" Mt. Wickersham
replied, "and think he stfll continues
In that capacity.
The chairman sought particularly to
learn from the attorney general why
the department Of Justice and treasury
department accepted a S2,00O,000 set
tlement from the American Sugar Re-
fndng Company as restitution for un-
dervaluations at the port Of New York,
rather than enforce the severe penal
ties provided for By law. Mr.. Wick
ersham replied that the department
felt the evidence at hand was not suf-
flcient to support a claim for penalties,
though it was his belief that restitu-
ton was made because the corporation
feared penalties would be imposed.
Then It was your judgment" sug-
gested Mr.. BealI, that, notwtthstand-
ing the fact that the government had
access to a memorandum book show
ing the real weight Of sugar imported
and to books showing fraudulent

tempted to collect the penalties there
was strong probability of failure?'
yes" Mr.. Wickersham answered.
TT was sufficiently dubious to make 1t
inexpedient to go on. I think the S2,-
O0O, 900 settlement was the best pos
sible arrangement.
The attorney general denied that
there was any agreement preventing
criminal prosecution. THAT right,
he said, was specifically reserved to
the government"

Louis Norris, a young white man,
was almost instantly killed yesterday
afternoon by becoming entangled in a
belt at Frater's mill, where he was
employed. He never regained con
sciousness and died within fifteen min
utes. His head and face were badly
bruised and crushed, his right arm
was broken in two or three places, the
hand being mashed to a pulp, while
the right leg was torn completely off
Just below the knee. The entire body
was horribly bruised and mangied
almost beyond recognition. He was
literally beaten to death.
There were no eye witnesses to the
terrible accident and 1t is not known
Just exactly how it occurred. He went
down into the lower part Of the mill
to put a belt on pulley, and in some
manner became entangled in the ma
chinery, and was practically dead be-

thought, however, that he was knocked
unconscious the instant he was caught
in the revolving belt. He never re-
gained consciousness.
