volved eighty or more defendants.
Eight out of twelve defendants were
convicted on one Indictment after trial
by jury and their conviction confirmed
by the court of appeals. and thirteen
criminal prosecutions are pending.
A brief review of the cases brought
under the antitrust law during the adj
ministration demonstrates clearly its
value to the American people in their
protection of that equality of opportu-
nifty which is declared by the platform
of the Republican party to be the right
of every citizen.
Reference to q few of the antitrust
cases brought by the Taft administra-
ton gives an excellent idea of the hard
ships some of these illegal combina-
tons entail upon consumers. In the
prosecution of a case against a number
of individuals who attempted to corner
all the free cotton remaining of the
crop of 1903 1t resulted in a raise in
the price of that commodity to the
spinners. prevented some from making
any purchases and was therefore re
straining interstate commerce.
In like manner the government took
cogniZance of the pooling in the wire
industry, with the result that nine i'm
dictments were found In New York
against eighty-three persons engaged
in that business. 1t was an illegal re
straint of trade, and when the court
proceedings had been finished the va
rious defendants were fined in amounts
averaging $1,000 each. with the eXcep-
ton of the supervisor Of the pool, who
was fined $4,000.
One of the most outrageous cases of
combination in restraint Of trade and
a notable violation Of the Sherman law
was that Of the hand blown window
glass industry. Practically all of the
manufacturers (~eighty-three in mum
ber) formed a company which control
led the entire output Of hand blown
glass. As a result the price was adj
vanced 100 per cent within less than II
year. The Indictment Of the men re
sponsible, the imposition of fines and
the restoration Of the business upon its
former lines were followed by a sub
stantial reduction I'M the price of hand
blown glass.
The federal government is prosecut
ing suits against the beef trust and the
lumber trust with every promise OF
victory.

SMUGGLING CHINAMEN
San Diego, Cal, July 8.-When
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, command
ing the department of California,
U. S. A, was in San Diego last
year, during the disturbances in
Lower California, he was asked
by an ambitious "war correspond
ent" how he found conditions at
the border.
Conditions there are normal"
the general replied, Including
the usual smuggling. And the
whole United States army
couldn't stop that"
Bliss was in a position to know
of the activities of that ring of
outlaws who make living from
the underground railroad" of
the Pacific coast, and the general
is not given to exaggeration.
There are at present more
smugglers engaged in the traffic
of smuggling Cinnamon into the
United States than the public
realizes. The yellow men are
brought by land and sea, the lat
ter route being more popular at
present. Few weeks pass by that
there are not captures of the
Chinese, or evidence found of
their entrance into this country.
