BILL INTRODUCED
TO CURB TRUSTS
Cummins Of Iowa Presents Measure
to Senate, Which Would
Prevent Combines

Washington, Feb. 26.--The trust
platform of Senator Cummins Of
Iowa. candidate for the republican
nomination for president, Is en-
bodied in a bill which Mr. Cummins
introduced today. designed to
strengthen greatly the governments
antitrust powers The measure
would provide what 1t is claimed
would be the first authority to limit
the size OF corporations and to guard
against unfair or ruinous competi-
ton through protected underselling.
would put into being trades
commission into which the present
corporation bureau would be merged
with all its powers. The purpose II
limiting corporations, IL is set forth
is not TO prevent operation of bust
ness in a big way with economy o.
production but to limit them in tn,
fNtlS 8h SttAEE "a way a
to leave room at least for others
substantially the same magnitude
between which healthful competi-
ton may be preserved, The lew
would apply only to corporations
capitalized at S5,000.000 or moro
and not interstate commerce car
riers. That the present antitrust
law would not be changed, impaired
or weakened is made clear by
declaration that whatever is unlaw
full under that law shall continue
unlawful. and that the intent of the
law is to create and maintain con-
petition conditions in trade ito ae-
complish which it shall be literally
construed.
High Salaried Commission.
The trade commission" would be
composed of three members to serve
nine years each at s10.o00 a year
and empowered to employ secre-
taries, examiners, experts and the
like The commission would inquire
into the organization OF all corpora
lions and into the conduct OF the
business of all corporations or per
sons engaged in interstate COM
merce, and to place before the de-
partment of justice for prosecution
any violation of either this measure
or the antitrust law
If the commission finds that any
corporation employs, or proposes to
employ an extent of capital which
would destroy substantially COM
petitive conditions, the bill provides
either the commission or the de
partment OF justice may bring
the necessary suit to enjoin The
hexibiIity of this provision is in the
commissions right to prescribe a
period within which the violation
must cease.
The measure would prohibit com
mon directors and officers among
corporations carrying on a business
of the same general character and
would exclude dummy or nominal
directors by constituting the persons
really represented as the actual d.
reetors and officers. 1t would ex-
clude from commerce all corpora
tons which directly or indirectly
control capital stock or exercise any
other means of control in any Other
corporation, and also corporations
capitalized at s10,OOO,000 or more
whose directors or officers are on the
board OF directors or among the Of
acers OF banking institutions.
No Holding Companies.
Careful provision is made against
the holding company that is not it
self engaged in commerce. Common
carriers and manufacturing or pro
ducing enterprises would be com.

ENGINEERS MAY STRIKE.
Want Wage Increase which Rail-
roads May Turn Down.

New York, Feb 1T.-The railroads east
of Chicago and north OF the Potomac
have combined TO fight the demands of
the railroad engineers for an increase
in wages of from 20 to 50 per cent, and.
according to a rumor emanating from
high source to-day, the committee of
twelve railroad men, under the leader
ship Of ]. S. Stewart, Vice president and
general manager of the Erie Railroad
Will decisively turn down the engineers
demands at the coming meeting with
Warren S. Stone. head of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers The
combination Of Eastern railroads fight
ing the proposed increase comprises
forty-eight lines east of Chicago.
According to railroad officials, the pro-
posed increase in wages would mean an
additional SlO.ooo.OOo a year for operating
expenses, and IL further sold that the
railway combination has agreed not TO
grant any further wage increases to en-
ployes of any class until they are al
lowed to raise their freight rates. II is
believed that the engineers will vote 10
strike as soon as the increase is re-
fused, the consensus of opinion among
Eastern managers is that the matter
viii be referred to arbitration and
eventually the Erdman law will be
brought into play and mediators ap-
pointed.

NO MUD-SLINGING
BY THE CLARK MEN
Former Senator Dubois Is Warmly
Greeted by Managers of
Rival Headquarters.

There is TO be no mud-slinging by the
managers Of Speaker Champ Clarke
campaign for the Democratic nomina.
tion for President. This was made clear
yesterday by the announcement Of for
mer Senator Fred T. Dubois, who is
in charge of Clark Headquarters In the
New Ebbitt. To emphasize this, Senator
Dubois made an Official call upon those
In charge OF the various Presidential
headquarters IN this city. He did not
except the Republican headquarters. AT
the New Willard. where II was under
stood that the managers OF the Wilson
campaign were located, the Senator was
disappointed 10 find that the headduar-
ters had not yet been opened. He called
at the Offices OF Gov. Harmon In the New
Ebbitt, upon Senator Bankhead, who is
directing the campaign of Mr.. Under
wood. at the Offices OF the progressive
Republicans in the Evans Building, and
then paid his respects to Medill MeCor-
mick. who is in charge OF the Roosevelt
Offices IN the Munsey Building.
The Senator spent some time with Rep
resentative Mckinley. who is in charge
Of the very elaborate headquarters OF
President Taft at the New Raleigh. Sen
ator Dubois was delighted with the re-
ception he got everywhere he went and
declared afterward that he was con-
WINGED that among the managers OF the
Democratic aspirants for the Presidency
the same policy of a clean campaign.
conducted upon a high plane, was to be
pursued.
There never was a time in the history
Of the Democratic party when the
chances of success appeared so bright.
and we must not endanger those chances
by making charges and countercharges
against the very able Democrats who are
running for the nomination. We must
not stir up bitterness, that might divide
what is now a harmonious Democracy
and give our Republican friends an op-
portunity to make political capital that
could be used against us in the campaign
for the election.
Speaker Clark himself has declared
that he will not permit any one inter-
ested in his campaign for the nomination
TO attack any other candidate In any
way. He wants 10 win. but he wants to
win in a manner that will leave no bad
taste and will not disseveT the splendid
Democratic organization that he, more
than any one else, I think. has built up.
