OPPOSES DISSOLUTION
Minority of Stanley Committee
Favors Regulation of Trusts.

Washington, July "a recon-
mendation favoring the regulation of
big Industrial concerns, instead of
their dissolution, is to be submitted TO
the house in a report by three Re-
publican members of the steel 1nves-
tigating committee.
The report was signed by Repre-
sentatives Gardner of Massachusetts,
Young of Michigan and Danforth of
New York. Representative Young
submitted an additional statement
and Representative Sterling of ILL
nois, who believes in dissolving the
big corporations will submit a sep
arate report.
The minority report favors the Gre
alton of an interstate, commission OF
industry to be clothed with extensive
powers of regulation and with power
to fix reasonable prices for the out
put of corporations. The report would
require that all corporations capital
under a federal charter before en-
gaging in interstate commerce.
Smaller corporations might avail
themselves of the federal charter at
their own option.
The Republican members make it
plain that the report is not an ex-
preston of Republican policy or die
tated by the Republican administra-
ton.
The report does not spare the steel
trust or it's organizers.
J. P. Morgan and Company are
credited with a profit of $4,000, 900

Dor conditions in the steel mills are
