USES THE STEEL TRUST
AS AN OBJECT LESSON
[ ouis D. Brandeis Scores Mo-
nopoIy as Failure in Eco
nomic Efficiency.

NEW YORK, January 13.-MOnOpolis-
tic trusts in this country have failed OF
success, both in economic, and social eff
ficiency, Louis d. Brandeis, the Boston
ANTITRUST" lawyer, declared today in a
speech before the Republican Club OF
this city, in which he denounced the
steel trust" as typical example of
this failure, advocated the La Toilette
bill as q preventive of the formation Of
a trust" and made plea for regulated
as against regulated mo-
nopoly."
failed to keep pace with the demands of
the times" Mr.. Rrandeis declared. 1T
has failed to hold Americas proportion OF
the foreign steel markets. as the great
growth Of Gernany's and Englands ex-
port trade proves. 1t has failed to hold
its own proportion of the domestic mar
kets. in spite of it's additional purchases
of competing plants. 1t has failed to
maintain its own percentage of earlier
years of profit on capital invested.
Socially its record has been even
worse. While it has accumulated Tor or
disbursed to stockholders in ten years
more than $3.50. thrv.OOO in excess OF a fair
return upon capital and has enriched pro-
moters. it has subjected the laborer to
grossly excessive toll and deprived him
of industrial liberty.
Drives Out Unionism.
Having driven out unionism, it has
taught the American worker what an iron
master really is. To work men twelve
hours a day. seven days a week, with
an occasional twenty-four-hour work
day when the shift is made, makes not
only old men at forty. but necessarily
the race. physically. intel
and morally. The steel trust
has indeed been the prince and the
cure monopolistic positions. the speaker
added, have either failed altogether or
have failed to show marked success as
compared with independent concerns.
