Effective Trust Fighting.
Chicago News.)

Through its aggressive efforts to
prevent discrimination among shippers
by carrying corporations of the coun-
try the interstate commerce commission
is doing far more effective work against
trust evils than is the department of
justice by its ponderous prosecutions
under the Sherman antitrust law. Lit
tie good can result from prosecuting a
trust for wrongdoing if the sources of
its strength are left untouched. The
companies composing the Standard oil
combine. though separated into their
constituent parts by court order, are
still subject 10 control by their former
owners. Whatever power for evil was
possessed before still remains With
them.
The Standard Oil monopoly was built
up largely by faveritism of various
kinds on the part of public agencies,
chiefly the carriers of its products In
the same way, for monopoly evils in
the coal business railroads arc largely
responsible. When railroads were for
hidden to give one coal shipping con-
Germ rates different from those given TO
another they began to discriminate in
service. To give one coal company
plenty of cars and yet deny service to
it's competitor means, of course, pros
perity to the favored concern and
death OF its unfortunate rival
The interstate commerce commission
is continually called upon to investi-
gate charges of discrimination of this
sort. After recent inquiry, 1T neld
that the Pennsylvania railroad had
been denying fair treatment to five
complaining coal companies in the dis
tribution of it's coal cars, with the re-
suit that these companies were unable
to market their coal in competition
with coal mine owners favored by the
common carrier. The commission laid
down new principle in these cases by
awarding damages to the injured con-
Germs. The amount of the damages as
sessed against the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road was $129.722.
A few findings of this kind will tend
strongly to secure permanently for bus
mess concerns fair treatment at the
hands of carrying corporations. That
is absolutely essential to the mainte-
nance Of competitive conditions.
