Report VIII Be Sensational.
Washington, July 22.-The RepubIi-
can members of the Stanley steel trust
investigating committee are working
on Z re- ort OF their views of the re-
suits Of the steel inquiry and when it
is submitted to the house ii win create
more Ct a sensation than that pre-
pared by chairman Stanley
This assertion was made by a mem
Der of the committee Saturday. He
said the Republican recommendations
would be more far-reaching than those
made by the Democrats and that the
bills to be suggested to the house
would be constructive legislation TO
amend the trust laws.
The Republicans will find much to
praise in the Stanley report but will
differ with its conclusions. The find
ings OF the Stanley faction of the
committee will not be accepted by the
Republicans, but some of the legisla-
ton proposed in the Stanley report
viii be endorsed Representative
Gardner, Of Massachusetts, will resist
the suggestion of chairman Stanley
that the reports and data gathered by
the commissioner Of corporations be
made available to congress He fears
If the law Is changed the bureau or
corporations will be unable to get in
formation
Representative Gardner will stand
by representative Stanley on the bill
amending the Sherman act by putting
the burden on defendants to prove
that their combination is not unrea-
sonable restraint Of trade. Other rep
resentatlves will join with representa-
tive Martin Littleton in opposing the |
bill
Gardner is to work on the Republic
can report. He thinks all Republican
members will sign it although they |
may differ on its phraseology.
The Republican views on the steel
inquiry have been more reconciled
than those of the Democrats and the |
members Of the minority are confident |
that their program for trust legisla- |
ton will be more acceptable to the |
country.
The Republican members will not /
recommend the dissolution Of the |
steel trust They say that the COM
mittee long ago decided that no move |
was to be made to embarrass the J
suit against the steel I
corporation and they will adhere to IT. |
To Vote on Tariff This Week.
The removal Of the tariff as an is !.
sue before congress by the end of the I
week viii mark an important step in |!
the progress toward an early adjoul n 1
nent. agreements for votes on the /
leading tariff bills, coupled with IN /,
1erstandings that other important leg
slation will be disposed of, indicate /
that the week will see some of the /
most important work of the session. /
The agricultural and naval bills are !
IN conference. Failure to act on the /
oostoffice appropriation bill has re- |
-arded work in that department.
