WILL Be CHICAGO
National Committee Carries Out
Taft Program.
NEW SUBCOMMITTEE HEAD
Forecast or the Proceedings At Chi
cago Where the Convention VIII
Be Held Delegates To Sc
Selected In the Same Old Way

Washington Republican Ma
tional Convention will meet in Chi
cago on Tuesday, June Is.
The convention will probably last
four days. After the formal meeting
of the National Committee on Mon
day. at which the temporary officers
of the convention are selected, and
the preliminary roll of delegates Is
prepared, the convention will enter on
it's work on Tuesday. The first day $
work is limited to the address oil the
temporary chairman, the calling OF the
roll the election of the permanent
officers and the address of the per-
manent chairman. This latter ADDRESS
is the notable feature of the day, ior
it is always regarded as the keynote
speech of the coming campaign. Com
mittees are appointed and other per-
functory motions are made and adopt
ed. sbut the business of Tuesdays ses-
sion is the organization of the conVeh-
ton.
Wednesdays session is devoted TO
the platform. Ordinarily there are
two sessions on Wednesday, a morn
ing session meeting at 10 o'clock ana
adiourning at noon, and an aiter.
noon session meeting at 2 O'CLOCK anu
adjourned as soon as the platform
has been perfected and adopted.
viii Be Easy For Taft
Thursday is given to the nomination
of candidates. Four years ago there
we're nearly half a dozen candidates
and the day was given up to tiresome
speeches made by friends of candi
dates who knew they had not the
slightest chance of nomination. Ihi'
time the name of Senator La Toilette

dition to that of President Taft, bu
| the nominating and secohdlhs
speeches vii be completed in ample
time for a vote, perhaps even at th'
morning session. Should Mr.. Tart D'
nominated at the morning session
will be difficult to kill the entire al
ternoon without nominating the vice
President, and thus bringing the con
vention to a close. There Is no"
ever, always a tacit understanding De
tween the National Committee AM

all their money, and as much more a

VOTES TO ABROGATE TREATY
Termination OF the Russian Treaty VI
1882 viii Be Ordered II the Sen
ate Takes Favorable Action
On Similar Resolution.

Washington.-Tho Sulzer joint reso'
luton for the termination OF the treaty
of 1882 between the United States ana
Russia because of the latter's discrlm'
inat'on against Jewish American
citizens passed the House Wednes-
day night 300 to /. The one mega
tive vote was cast by Representative
Malby, of New York.
A practically identical resolution py
Senator Culberson, OF Texas, Is pehu'
ing in the Senate, and favorable ACTON
of both houses would be necessary 10
make either resolution effective.
Both the Sulzer and Culberson reso'
lutions would direct the President to
give Russia Immediately the years
notice necessary for the complete
abrogation of the treaty that has been
in force nearly 10 years.
An attempt led by Representative
Olmsted OF Pennsylvania, to modify
the Sulzer resolution so as to AVOID
making the direct charge that Russia
has violated the treaty in refusing TO
recognize the passports of American
Jews was defeated, 1S4 to 115.
Prominent members declared that
the House should not go on record as
charging a violation of the treaty, but
should adopt language stating that
Russia had SO construed the treaty
that the United States could no longer
be a party to it.
"The sentiments announced here
today" declared Leader Mann, are
such that if they were uttered in an
other parliamentary body they might
bring such resentment as would pro-
woke war"
Mr.. Mann added that If the United
/ States asserted that discrimination
against races was a violation OF a
treaty il might weaken its own atti
tude toward the exclusion oI

THE WAY TO
END TRUSTS
Clearly Define Law and Enforce
It, Says Brandeis.
NO NATURAL MON0POLIES
Testlfylna Before Senate Committee,
Boston Lawyer Declares That
Competition, Like Liberty,
Should Be Regulated.

Washington.-Lou d. BranGeis, OF
Boston. advocated before the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee the
La Toilette bill designed to supple
ment the Sherman Antitrust Law
Answering the exponents OF govern
ment control OF monopolistic corpora
tions. Mr.. Brandeis declared there
was no such thing as natural
monopoly in industry. If the law pro-
hibiting the practices through which
existing greatN combines grew up
should be clearly defined and enforced,
he said, no trusts would arise in the
future.
supporters of the La Toilette Dill,
he said believe in competition In IN
dustry on economic, social ana
political grounds. They agree that
only unreasonable restraints OF trade
should be prohibited But they be-
lieve the law is inadequate, dlfhcult
of application and unsatisfactory in
it's remedy. They propose to let the
law remain, but to supplement 1t with
provisions remedying these defects.
There are no natural monopolies in
industry. Even the Oil Trust got con
troll by ruthless and unconscionable
violations of law by criminal rebat-
ing, bribery and corruption, which
brought it wealth with which to de-
stroy competitors by price-cutting and
like practices. The Steel Trust ac'
quired control, not through greater
efficiency, but by buying plants and
ore supplies at fabulous prices. Not
one industrial monopoly is a natural
growth.
Mr. Brandeis contended that il
would be impracticable for the gov
ernment to fix the selling price fol
monopoly products because of the
absence of data to determine whai
would constitute a reasonable return
on capital.
MIR. Brandeis declared that com
petition, like liberty should be regu
lated least it lead to monopoly an'
unrestrained liberty leads to oligarchy
He said he favored the Strengthening
of the Sherman law by the adoption
of the La Toilette bill and its amend
ments recently introduced in the Sen
ate.
The United States Steel Corporation
came in for criticism. Mr.. BRANDED
declared it's action in paying AndreN
Carnegie three times, the value of hi
plant" merely amounted to a bribe t
get Mr.. Carnegie out of the steel bus
ness.
