TAFT TRUST PROGRAM
WILL BE REVIEWED
CBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-7A complete
resume of the trust" prosecutions pro-
gram of President Taft's administration
will be contained in the Forthcoming
annual report of Attorney General
Wickersham.' Particular emphasis will
be laid upon the antitrust record Of
the past four years during which sew
enty antitrust suits were instituted,
while the combined total of the admin
istrations of Presidents Harrison, Cleve-
land Mckinley and Roosevelt was six
ty-two. Of the seventy cases brought
by Mr. WickeFsham thirty-ntne were
criminal prosecutions and thirty-one civ
il suits.
In the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral, the efficacy of the Sherman law
as a criminal statute depends in large
measure upon the result OF several
cases, which are now pending. When the
verdicts in these issues are rendered,
the attorney general believes that a
correct estimate of the criminal phase
of the law can be made.
