CHICAGO, August s.-Refusing

The colonel had hardly finished his

HAMPTON, VA. August S.-With
magnificent address by Judge Mar
Tin Knapp. president of the Commert
court CT the United States, this morn
ing and a brilliant banquet tonight
Of the Virginia State Bar associa-
ton was brought TO close in Hotel
Chamberlin. Old Pob1t.
Best in Years.
Jud2e I>napp's address was pro-
nounced by the attorneys as being the
strongest. most interesting and abiest
annual talk made before the Rsf
ISOLATION in many years. He dis
cussed Corporation and Combina-
ton and held that the trust mo-
nopolies and combinations were due
entirely to the rapid strides in trans
portation. Electricity. steam and other
modern motive power have reduced
the cost OF freights until the men OF
money are able to bring about great
and strong corporations. Judge Knapp
detailed the progress of transporta
ton from the primitive man on foot
t. the present day, showing that at
pre- sent more than. seven million tons
of freights are handled in the United
States every twcnty-four hours.
He favors the labor unions and
closer connection in social and hDan~
ciat conditions between the employer
and empioye The present antitrust
laws are at last inadequate he said.
Broader education and publicity Will
ultimately bring about the reform
necessary to check the present day
trouble with trust and monopolies.
but Judge Knapp has little faith in
the promises of the various political
parties in securing remedial laws.
Judge Knapp was introduced to the
association as the best informed man
on transportation matters in the
United States by President J r Bal
litt.
