Al present the Stanley steel trus report
seems to be hanging between several
sets of masters. Probably all of /. en-
agree that blow should be struck, bL1
evidently the committee cannot agree just
where to stab the monster steel trust
Meantime, representatives in Congress
VINO count the cost and watch Results
are asking whether or not the result OF
the steel investigations will parallel the
results of the sugar trust investigations
This latter excursion into the realms OF
the trust devil cost the Treasury $1l,-
OCO, and SO far no remedial legislation
has been passed. Representative Fitz-
gerald of New York. chairman of the
House committee on appropriations. call
ed attention to this not long ago when
one OF the various committees was call
ing for more money to prosecute some
thing or other that had been initiated in
the form of startling resolution to un-
cover a diseased condition in some gov
ernment function.
Mr. Fitzgerald said at that time: Il
don't know how effective these investiga-
tions have BEEN and then he went on
to show how in this one year the House
has authorized the expenditure of near
ly $4,000 for the uses of these inquiries.
but it is true that out Of it all not one
line of remedial legislation has been
passed.
Has Cost $37, 900.
The sugar trust investigation. which
cost $11 eco. was cheap compared to the
cost of the Stanley steel investigation.
which, up to a few days ago. had cost
the country 37.OGO. Out of this inves-
tigation the committee proposes to rec
ommend laws to prevent railroad COM
panies from controlling the steel product,
and to prevent steel companies from being
too closely connected with railroads and
steamship lines. to prevent the sitting OF
competition and the raising of prices, etc.
But with the present differences of Opin-
ion in the committee as a straw the
legislative wind may seem TO be blow
ing in any direction. rather than directly
toward an enactment.
Other investigating committees have
spent considerable money and have not
succeeded in passing law. The various
committees on expenditures in all the
government departments have had hear
ings, and these hearings undoubtedly will
furnish some of the members with ele-
CANT campaign fodder in the fall.
The Moss investigating committee has
put the everg AIDES of Florida on the map
a gain and has Indicated that evil smells
are arising from the Department of Agri-
culture. all of which has cost about g. 100
but there Is yet no sign of a law. 1t is
the same with the committee on expendi-
lures in the Interior Department and the
committee on expenditures in the Post
Office Department. Many hearings and
many pamphlets to send to constituents
have been printed, but as yet no laws
have been passed.
