MAY USE RECALL
IN WILMINGTON
Many Are Dissatisfied With
Board Elected

Wilmington. May 11.-Still further
turmoil on the political sea of Will
mington may be expected II current
rumors on the streets today are to be
taken for what they are worth. While
the reports are somewhat intangible
in nature, word has nevertheless been
passed that movement for recall
in the personnel of the Wilmington
commission has been started among
a faction said to be dissatisfied with
the manner in which the council has
ssartcd business affairs. The report
Is OF interest since the councilmen
have been in Office only four days. The
story as passed about is rather inter-
|esting and the rumors are given
merely for what they are worth and
not as accredited facts, although it is
stated that circumstances as already
developed give ground for the reports.
II is reported that the alleged move
ment for recall has been started
among the faction known as the Busi-
ness Mems, Young Mems, Law and
Order affiliated leagues, which. issued
a straight ticket and which ticket
failed to be elected in its entirety.
Now II is rumored that this faction
is much dissatisfied at the way things
are going. There is ground for this
statement, as leaders among the fac
tion have been heard to express opin-
ions along this line.
AS the story goes il is stated that
a caucus was held night before last,
and II is reported that a number Of
the leaders of this faction were
present II is rumoreh Rat the sub
ject of recall was d.se sed and that
plans may have been outlined with
this idea in view. Whether or not the
recall. If carried out, will apply to
any single member or the full council,
has not been discussed. only the mere
report having been circulated about
the streets today. Rumor had 1t that
a petition had already been started
and that 500 names had been secured
Whether this Is a fact or not. subse-
lquent Developments will have to show
AS the report has it, 1t is said that the
principal cause for dissatisfaction Il
the creation Of an Office or two by
council, regarded as unnecessary by
the alleged dissatisfied element

SENATOR NEWLANDS
EXPLAINS HIS BILL
Believes Interstate Trade Commission to Control
Industrial corporations, Would Be of Great
Benefit to Country

tered corporation for improper Anan-
cial organization. oppressive or unfair
methods of competition acceptance of
railway rebates. refusal to allow ac-
cess to records or Noncompliance with
any judicial decree rendered under the
sherman act. 1t may also In extreme
cases lot such onenseS. debar such
corporations from engaging in inter-
state commerce. The commission may
also, as condition of continued reg
istration. regulate material over capt.
talization to be corrected
Il was at first inclined. following
the views which l have frequently eX-
pressed. to include u provision trans
ferring the enforcement OF the Sher-
man antitrust act from the Attorney
Generals office to this commission. for
the reason that prior to the admins
tration of the present incumbent the
enforcement of the Sherman act was
httul. subject to political influences,
and likely to be affected by any
political or financial exigency. But
as the Attorney Generals office is now
proceeding to the satisfaction OF the
country to break up the existing
trusts. | thought It best not TO com
plicate the work OF tho new commits
sion with the administration OF the
Sherman act.
The commission will be non-parti-
san. with not more than three NOM
bers OF one party. Tho term of office
will be ten years. the commission
should be free from executive control
and political eXisencies.
Il have not thought 1t best at the
start to give the commission too many
powers OF correction or of punishment
nor does the bill give the power Of
fixing prices. The purpose of the bill
Is to maintain and preserve the oppor-
tunity for fair competition and not to
recognize monopolies in trade or regu-
late their prices The powers of the
commission may be later enlarged as
experience shall indicate.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has large powers and now employs
about eco men. 1t has won the entire
confidence OF tho country. II has be-
come strong and efficient through n
process of evolution. 1t is fortuna tie
that in creating the new commission
we can avail ourselves of the Bureau
of Corporations as the nucleus of the
| organization, that bureau having also
passed through an evolutionary pro
cess, which Will be q source Of strength
and efficiency" P. H. Moo.
