PLAN WORLD TRUST
EN-. GARY PRESIDEs At CONFER
ENcE OF STEEL INTERESTS.
Head OF United States Cooperation
Makes Plea for Friendship In
Business Life.

Brussels.-Judge Ebert H. Gary's
plan for the practical elimination OF
competition in the manufacture OF
steel was unanimously approved by
representatives of the leading steel
companies of the world at the confer
ence here. A cOmmittee was appoint
ed to consider a plan of organization
and report later.
In explaining his proposition for a
worldwide combination along the
lines OF the American Iron and Steel
institute, Judge Gary said the object
was "to prevent the destructive fluctu
alton of steel prices" and maintain q
business equilibrium In the worfd's
steel industry.
Discussing the question whether
such a worldwide combination could
be formed without violation of any Of
the existing laws. particularly in the
United States, some of the representa-
tives agreed that being an interna
tional organization no nation could de
clare 1t to be illegal.
The steel interests Of the United
States, Canada, England, France, Ger
many, Belgium, Italy. Austria and
Spain were represented by 100 dele
gates at the conference.
The initiatiye for the calling of the
steel congress was taken by the Amer

MAY Be TEST CASE
Oskaioosa Situation Probably VIII
Be Basis Of a Decision
WILL TAKE FIGHT TO COURTS
injunctions Served BY County Assor'
ney Against Last Six Liquor
Shops Granted Licenses
BY City Council.

Oskaloosa.-The final outcome OF
the saloon situation in Oskaloosa
may form precedent for the res.
OF the state. When the city council
and the mayor could not agree upon
which of the six of the fifteen sa-
Icons here should close to comply
with the Moon law in getting the
number down to one for each LOU
people. the council granted all fifteen
licenses, and the mayor let the mat
ter rest there. !,
Then the county attorney stepped
in and served injunctions against the
last six saloons named in the iist OF
licenses. A test case is to be maze
of these Injunction proceedings TO de-
termine whether it Is necessary 10
bring the number of saloons abitrar-
tly down to the number at this time'
or whether the Ssmber gradually
should be decreased by system OF
elimination.
Another point at issue is whethec
majority fraction of 1000 people is
entitled to saloon. Under the re-
cent federal census Oskaloosa lacked
less than 800 of having 10000 people,
and many lawyers claim that the city
is therefore entitled to ten saloons.
The sufficiency Of the consent petit
ton is still in the courts, so that the
right of operation of saloons here is
not entirely fixed.
The license here has been increas-
Cd from $1,000 to E,400 per year.

Neutrality-suspicious. Newlands q
evada In a speech in the senate ad-
vocated an interstate trade commits
sion of FIVE members to c. 1trol indus
trial corporations, as the interstate
commerce body regulates the rail-
roads.
He contended that the Standard OIL
and Tobacco decisions and the re-
cent government report on the steel
industry demonstrate the need OF IAN
Independent, quasi-judtcial and admin
istrative tribunal Of great character
and dignity, as far removed from par
tisan control as are the courts" The
plan is to apply only to Industrial cor
porations engaged in interstate trade
whose annual receipts exceed $4,000
900.
Mr.. Newlands' speech was In ad.
vocacy of bill he introduced provid-
ing for such a Commission. His meas
ure would separate the bureau of
corporations from the department of
commerce and labor and merge the
bureau into a commission of inter-
state trade.
This commission would require all
Industrial corporations having re-
ceipts exceeding 100000 to make
satisfactory statements as to capt.
talization, finances and operations.
such corporations to be known as
United States registered" companies.
It proposes to make lack of such
registration an indication of some
thing wrong"
Mr.. Newlands declared that If such
legislation had replaced or aided the
Sherman antitrust act over twenty
years ago this country would have ad-
vanced as far in the regulation of in
dustrial organizations as it has in
railroad regulation. He referred to
recent expressions by Mr.. Gary Of the
Steel corporation and others as indi-
eating that the great corporation
managers realize that public regula-
ton Is inevitable.
Mr.. Newlands said his plan pro-
poses that frequent reports be re-
CURED from the corporations, inforna-
ton OF public interest to be published
from time to time, the commission to
be non-partisan, not more than three
members to be Of one party, and the
term of office to be ten years. He
said that his plan makes no attempt
to give too many powers of correc-,
ton or punishment nor the power OF
fixing prices, but its powers may be
enlarged as experience shall indicate.
The measure proposed includes
these provisions: The commission
may cancel at any time the registra-
ton OF any corporation for improper
financial organization, oppressive or
unfair methods OF competition, accept
ance Of railroad rebates, refusal to al
low access to records or non-compli-
ance with any judicial decree rem.
dered under the Sherman act. In ex-
treme cases 1t may debar the offend
ing corporations from engaging In In
terstate commerce and It may require
correction OF overcapftalization.
