THE SrEEn TRUST REPORTS.

The minority report Of the house
committee to investigate the United
States Steel corporation is mos char
artcristir in proposing to adopt the
federal system of Incorporation for
all rorporatcs exceeding a X mag
nitude tentatively stated at $5o.O0h.-
600. Corporations so chartered are
not to have capital In excess of &C
tual value. shal not have interlock-
ing dircctoratcs. are not to be allied
with common carriers. or TO he ruled
by holding companies, and an inter
state commission OF industry is 10 he
given the power when the prices Of
given commodities is declared eXces-
sive by n competent authority. to fix
the maximum rates. which shall he
deemed reasonable.
This is the policy Of regulation that
has found its most advocacy among
some of the representatives of the
United States Steel corporation itself.
The features which 1t proposes to
prohibit are among those which
mark the trust or monopolistic COM
hination. For example. h interlock-

federal incorporation with a specific
prohibition Of interlockine directorate

these features OF trust organization

any Of these schemes car improve on
the principle laid down by the great
lawyers who drew that bill. that the

restraint of trade. which cover all
the means by which the prohibited
thing Is attained.
II Is to be observed hat while this
report is not so sever upon the Steel

condemnation Is tolerably conclusive.
