TRUST LAWYERS THINK
PROB|NG SHOULD STOP
One Prosecuting at Time is About
Enough, Corporations Attor-
=eys Think.

Washington. Nov 20-When the
special committee of the house, IN
uuirfng into the United States Steel
corporation. resumed its hearings to-
day. it was confronted with objections
to a continuance of it's work. made on
behalf of the Steel corporation by its
counsel. on the ground that the United
States government has brought suit
against the corporation for violation
of the Sherman antitrust law OBJ
jectionS were made in executive SeS-
sion of the committee, six members ot
which were present. Counsel for the
Steel trust based its principal argu-
ment on the particular phrase in the
original resolution passed by congress
authorizing the appointment of the
Steel committee. This phrase of the
resolution directs the committee to in
uuire into violations of the law which
have not been prosecuted BY the exec
utive officers of the government. After
several hours deliberation. the chair
man announced that it had been unan-
'imously decided to defer action on the
disputed points until the fun commit
tee reassembles. and in the meantime
to proceed. beginning tomorrow, with
the hearing of witnesses already sum
moned to appear.

received that the leagues affairs will
be thoroughly re-organized during the
next few months. have called a meet
ing for tomorrow TO consider the
matter
Newark. New jersey. Providence
and Montreal club owners all lost
money last year and it is understood
that all four franchises are for sale.
The transfer of the Montreal fran
chise, which has been talked of ever
since the Canadian metropolis broke
into the Eastern, is now considered
absolutely necessary by the owners
of the other clubs. No fault is found
with the Montreal fans. but the East
ern magnates have a big crouch
against the style of weather served
up in the Canadian city during the
summer The trouble is that it rains
too much in Montreal. Richmond. to
which the Montreal franchise will be
transferred in case a satisfactory deal
can be made, is one of the best
minor league cities in the country.

would be one of the best paying
cities on the circuit, although it would
