THE TRUSTS IN

Perkins Says Corporations
Cannot Exist.
RED FLAG FOR BUSINESS.


shington-George w. Perkins,
financier and director of the United
States Steel Corporation. made some
striking recommendation with refer
ence to the governments control of
corporations A witness before the
House Steel Trust Investigating Com
mittee, he declared that existing laws
were seriously threatening big bust
ness interests and their rigid enforce
ment was rendering it impossible for
corporations to continue operations
in conformity with the statutes.
Some of his observations follow:
THAT great corporations. grown
up under demands of existing condi-
tions, could no longer successfully
exist under the Sherman Antitrust
Law as now Figid1y enforced.
t-.tThat the governments dissolu-
ton of the Standard Oil Company
served as a waving of red flag of
warning to every corporation In the
United States.
THAT something of constructive
nature must be done by the govern
ment with reference to the control
of corporations, and rather than for
present conditions to continue, it
would be better to go to the limit of
| permitting government regulation OF
| prices.
Eorcod= to VIoIa4e=4he Law.
That the very reason subsidiary
companies OF great corporation can
violate the law without knowledge of
! the officers of the holding company,
is the law which prevents such cor
poration from operating and ruling
! the subsidiary concerns instead OF
merely advising them.
That one great stride toward
/ averting financial panics in New York

THAT the establishm emit of a gov
eminent bureau which could give
accurate information to the public as
4 to the conditions Of corporations
i would be an active inducement to the
people to make wise investments.
That one of the most striking de-
/ velopments of the present system Of
conducting business on large scale
is the dividing of great interests into

than concentrating them in the hands
