The Sherman antitrust law is proving
it's adequacy as civil statute and there
is no necessity for the much discussed
proposed amendment particularizing un-
lawful practices in restraint of trade, ac-
cording to George w. Wickersham, At
torney General of the United States, in
his annual report submitted to Congress
today.
On the other hand, however. the Attor-
ney General does not pass judgment upon
the efficacy Of the antitrust act as a
criminal statute. He merely says:
1.-THE experience of the last year in en-
deavoring to enforce criminal liability
under the Sherman law has not been
encouraging
The Attorney General defends the Com
Of distributing litigation arising from the
orders Of the interstate commerce COM
mission to the district courts would be
injurious to the interests of the public
and delay the administration of justice, "
says Mr.. Wickersham.
Drawing conclusions from the DEGREES
of dissolution and injunction which al
ready have been entered under the Sher-
man law, Mr.. Wickersham maintains
that the federal courts are exercising in
is co-extensive with the evils against
which the Sherman law was enacted.
The courts have found no difficulty, he
adds, in applying the terms Of the law
to meet and enjoin the continuance of
any form of unfair competition which
straint upon interstate commerce or
which makes for mOnOpOly.

In connection with the suit against the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company under
the commodities clause Of the interstate
commerce act, because of it's alleged own
ership and transportation of the coal Of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, the At

Mine Stock Held by Railroad.

THE situation is.'' he continues, that
coal which is shipped over the Lehigh
Valley railroad is mined by the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, all of whose stock
is owned by the railroad company. and is
sold at the breakers to the Lehigh Valley
Coal Sales Company, all of whose stock
has been originally issued to and dis
tributed among the stockholders Of the
railroad company. pro rata, but which
company has separate offices from the
railroad company, and separate directors,
and whose stock may be sold by the
stockholders without regard to their con-
tinued holding OF stock In the railroad
company. BY this arrangement both the
railroad company and the coal companies
seem to have parted in good faith, with
title to the coal before transportation be-
gins. and. it is claimed. therefore. that
transportation is free from the prohibi-
ton of the commodities clause as con-
strued by the Supreme Court.
The Attorney General announces his in
tention Of soon filing suits IN equity
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company and others for the recovery OF
vast areas of petroleum-bearing lands In
California, said to be worth more than
$500, 900 900. The legislation under which
the patents were granted to the railroad

Amendment Not Needed.

| These DEGREES. the Attorney General con-
| tinues, demonstrate that no amendment
| of the law in the direction Of declaring
| the illegality of particular practices is
| necessary to clothe the courts with full
power to prevent any and all acts which
may be employed to accomplish the lille
| gal purposes denounced by the statute.
II am strongly of the opinion" says
| Mr.. Wickersham. that the advocacy Of
| amendments of the law which shall par
| ticularize different acts as constituting
monopoly has its origin, not SO much
with those who desire the enforcement of
| the law, as with those who are anxious
| to secure safe means of its evasion.
! ent practices which, in and Of them
| selves, without regard to the circum-
| stances of particular cases. should be de-
clared illegal will either go too far or not
| far enough
| The Attorney General takes issue with
| the decision of Judges Colt. Putnam and
| Brown at Boston, authorizing the hear
| ing in private before an examiner of the
| civil antitrust suit aginst the United
| Shoe Machinery Company, and asks for
| legislation admitting the public and rep
resentatives of the press to such hearings.
THE decision, 1t appears to me-" con-
| tinues Mr.. Wickersham, lis based upon
| a manifest misconception of the nature
of the proceedings and the character of
| the parties. When the government of the
United States is party to a suit. and
particularly to a suit brought under the
Sherman antitrust law, to prevent I'M
| lawful restraints upon interstate COM
merce or foreign commerce-essentially a
matter affecting the public-all the people
| have legitimate interest in the proceed
| ing and are entitled to know just what
| given. The public are the real parties
| to the suit"

Coffee Trust and Valorization

| The suit against the coffee trust or
the Brazilian valorization scheme, the
operation of which, the Attorney General
says. has resulted in more than doubling
! the retail price of coffee to the American
consumer and thereby laying heavy tax
upon him, has developed what the Attor-
ney General regards as a defect in the
still operative section Of the Wilson tariff
! law dealing with combinations. Pointing
J to the fact that the government was I'M
able to secure temporary injunction re-
straining the expectation of $40. 600 bags
of coffee said to be stored in New York
Attorney General recommends the enact
ment of an amendment to the Wilson
law, authorizing the seizure by the gov
eminent in the state of entry of merchan-
die imported for the purpose of unlawful
combination. At present such commodi-
ties must be in the course of interstate
transportation to justify seizure

The European Business Man Is Anx-

the English novelist has to say n

phenomena during his recent visit to
the United States.
1.-THE rough broad difference be-
tween the American and the Euro
pean business man." according to Mr..
Bennett, ".is that the latter is anxious
to leave his work, while the former Is
anxious to get to /. The attitude OF
the American business man toward
his business is prominently the at
titude of an artist.
"You may say that he loves money.
So do we all-artists particularly.
No stock brokers' private journal

Balzac's intimate correspondence Is

HE loves his business. 1t is not
