SCORES HOLDING COMPANIES.
Representative Stanley Says They
Are Burglar Tools of Business"

Representative Stanley of Kentucky to-
day urged the House Judiciary committee
to recommend the passage of his bill to
prohibit holding companies from engag-
ing in interstate commerce
''The Sherman law said Mr.. Stanley,
''is easily eluded, and does not prevent
monopoly. The reorganization of the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco COM
panies was just as ubiquitous the
original trusts
ITO enforce the Sherman law it must
be proved that there has been a combina
ton in restraint of trade. There Is no
law to prevent a coal mine or factory
from owning a railroad. but there is
law to prevent the railroad owning the
industrial corporation.
Holding companies are the burglar
tools of legitimate business. They exist
solely as subterfuges to escape the PEN
atty of the law, and they should be abOl-
ished.
