LYMAN ABBOTT ON TRUSTS
For Federal Corporation Bureau
-Gompers Quotes Roosevelt.

Washington, Jan. ll.--Dr. Lyman Ab-
bott and Samuel Gompers appeared before
the Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce to-day and gave their views about
the sherman antitrust law.
Dr Abbott favored legislation supple
menting the law and advocated corpo-
ration commission or bureau. He did not
think tine government should dictate
prices, but that when a corporation be-
came large enough to fix prices and shut
out competition It should come under the
control of a government commission.
Backing up his demand that the Sher-
man law should be so amended as to eN-
empt labor organizations from It's pro-
visions Mr. Gompers quoted an interview
he had with Mr. Roosevelt in 1908
president Roosevelt" Mr.. Gompers as
serted. said that the law should be so
construed that IL would afflrmatively
state that which is unlawful and omit
references to labor organizations. He said
he would take II up with his Cabinet dur
ing the summer, but that was all that
came of H. except that lie frequently
made reference on his swing around the
Western states to the fact that the law
should be amended.
Mr.. Gompers said he had been assured
that the sherman law would not affect
labor organizations, but never took them
seriously.
