FOR FISH FACTORY
RICHMOND MAN HEADS SYNDI-
CATE THAT BUYS n FISH
GUANO COMPANY.

LANCASTER, VA, Special. - The
stockholders of the EuDank-Tankard
Fish Guano Company have sold their
extensive factory at Kilmarnock
Wharf with their fishing steamers and
other appurtenanceS to the syndicate
represented by William j. Payne, of
Richmond. The price is said to be
$3.50 per share. that being the highest
paid for any Of the other plants by the
syndicate.
This makes the required number of
ten fish factories that the syndicate
wanted and the consolidation will be-
gin soon. The syndicate will put the
ten factories under one management
and establish large plants for turning
fish scrap into fertilizers ana refining
the oil obtained Heretofore the crude
products were sent away and sold.
n large shipbuilding plant will prob
ably be erected near the mouth OF the
RappahannOck or Great Wicomico for
building and repairing the fishing
steamers.
The menhaden fish factory industry
has been very prosperous except in
lean years, and comfortable fortunes
have been made in the business.
Last year was the most prosperous
in the history of the industry. some of
the concerns having realized n clear
profit of more than 200 per cent. on
their entire expenditures. This year,
however. has thus far been DISASTROUS
because of the scarcity of fish.

LTTLET0N WON'T
Agree upon BILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special
Congressman Martin w. Littleton has
made public his views regarding the
Sherman law as agreed upon by his
Democratic colleagues on the Stanley
committee.
Mr.. Littleton will not approve the
Stanley bill because il puts the burden
of proof upon the defendant corpora
ton in the antitrust suits and be
cause it declares that any corporation
controlling thirty per cent of the out
put of any commodity is guilty of re-
Straint of trade.
Congressman Littleton suggests a
commission or board to establish
rules of admission for corporations
who desire to do interstate business.
He also suggests a joint committee of
the House and Senate to Investigate
the entire trust question and to change
economic conditions before the Sher-
man law is so radically amended.
Mr.. Littleton is caustic in his criti-
clSm or the language employed by his
Democratic colleagues in drafting a bill
to amend the sherman law, declaring
that the bill lis simply a complicated
Encouragement of the rules OF evidence
and the burden of proof under exist
ing law, without serious effort to
meet and rightly solve the great indus
trial problems which have grown up
since the original law was enacted.
The Littleton statement follows;
The fundamental fault manifested
throughout this bill is that II legislateS
primarily and directly at the size of
Industrial units. 1t preserves the chief
fault of the Sherman law, which is the
policy of a belated attack, after a con-
Germ has grown up, instead OF prON1d-
ing any means Of prevention 1t fails
utterly to confer upon any govern
mental agency the power to see to il
that concerns in restraint Of trade do
not grow up. 1t distinctly treats the
symptoms and ignores the disease.
