AFTER the BASEBALL TRUST NOW
Resolution Proposed Congress For Its Investigation
Audacious And Autocratic of Them ALL is the Charge
Competition Stified And Men Enslaved

Washington. March 11.-A congress
sional investigation of the Baseball
trust, the most audacious end auto
cratic trust in the country" was pro-
posed liz resolution introduced by
Representative Gallagher of Illinois
today. The measure would create a
special committee of seven representa-
tives TO inquire of the department of
Justice what steps have been taken
against the Baseball trust as against
other illegal combinations" to sub
poena witnesses and employ assist
ants 1t accused the Baseball trust"
of presuming to control the baseball
game, its officials announcing daily
through the press the dictates of q
governing commission how COMPETE
ton is stified, territory and games ap-
portioned, how men are enslaved and
forced to accept salaries and terms or
be forever barred from playing"
Mr.. Gallagher said the department
of justice knew that there was such
trust under the law, and that he
would confer with the department in
a day or two.

CRASH IN PRICES.
Quotations CrumbIe in Closing Hours
of Day of Uncertainty.

New York, March 1.-THE move
ment of stocks today was characterize
ed by uncertainty during the greater
part Of the session. but In the final
dealings prices crumbled all around.
with quotations not only at the lowest
but generally under Saturdays low lev
ell. In the early hours of trading at
tempts were made to advance some Of
the coalerS under the lead of Lehigh
Valley and Reading, and number of
more obscure issues also made mateTi-
al gains, but the movement was so ev-
identity of speculative origin that it
failed TO attract any outside support.
On the other hand, it is not unlikely
that the late attack upon values was
largely of a bear character and had
its foundation on the theory that re-
action ought to follow last weeks al
most uninterrupted advance
In point of fact, there appeared to be
little on which to build the early rise.
London sent over a lower range OF
quotations for our securities, and that
market az well as all the continental
exchanges seemed to reflect increased
apprehension over Industrial condi-
tons. The steady dWindling of the
coal supply put a further Quietus on
various industries throughout England,
and the threats Of coal strike in Ger
many became all but an accomplished
fact, with the chances favoring a like
situation in France.
To add to the days uncertainties the
United States supreme court held its
weekly open session and adjourned for
an hour Just before the market closed.
This gave rise to the possibility Of
some adverse decisions later in the day,
contingency which was not without
effect on Reading, whose status in re-
Iation to its coal holdings is now be-
fore the court for final adjudication.
Railroad traffic in the west shows

the transportation companies continue

Hermann, unless it is a joke. There
is no baseball trust, and from the
nature of the game, there never can
be. The commission does not fix
prices. Different prices are charged in
different cities. There can be an in
vestigation at any time without any
objection from the national con-
