WICKERSHAM is AFTER
THE COAL TRUST AGAIN
Minor Combination To Be Made De-
PENDANT This Time.

New York, Jan. 14-Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham, it is understood, has
decided to further attack the so-called
hard coal trust" in civil proceedings
under the Sherman antitrust law.
This was the result of conference
here between the encouragement and
James c. McReynolds of New York,
who was one of the governments coun-
sci in the anthracite case recently de-
cided by the Supreme court.
The new suit, it is said will be di-
rected against the so-called minIr
combinations of coal-carrying railroads
and coal companies in the Pennsyl-
vania fields, charges against which
were dismissed by the supreme court
without prejudice in its recent decis-
ion, because they were held to have
been improperly incorporated in the
governments original general bill
against the trust"

Roberts climbed on the running board

The machine had travelled about a

road and Roberts, lowering his gun

because Of their youth that the COVER.

urges BUSINESS
COOPERATION IN
Legislation

Boston, Mass, Dec. 19.-Business
interests of the country should CO
operate with the government in regu-
latory legislation rather than oppose
It," said Harry A. Wheeler OF, Chi
cago, president OF the chamber of
commerce of the United States, at
the annual banquet of the Boston
chamber Of commerce, last night. h:
This assertion from the head of
an organization composed of 4S5S CON-
mercial bodies, representing all fbut
one Of the states, and a membership
OF 100000 business men, was greeted
with enthusiasm.
Constructive Laws Needed. sa4
The accumulation of great wealth
in the last few decades. Mr.. Wheeler
said, has led to such a condition of
affairs that constructive legislation
is necessary and that such legislation
must insure that past evils should
not recur.
Railroads Got Help. .
He showed how the railroads had
been given assistance by county,
state and federal governments in the
early stages Of railway promotion
how industry had been protected by
governmental taxes upon foreign pro-
ducts and how financial interests had
pTofited by the protection of the state.
Objected to Regulation.
In course of time transportation
systems, industries and finance had
to be eradjusted to meet new condi.
lions, and each Of these three branch
es OF commercial activity objected to
the regulations imposed. 4M
Make Regulation Unnecessary.
Shall we always" he said, object
to regulation of this sort? Shall Swe
always trail regulation or shalE we
look out into the future and see the
things that are bound to come and
then meet them halfway down the
road, instead of waiting until after
they are forced upon us? These reg
'ulatory measures are not altogether
bad, and they are necessary" e.1.
