Whom has Wilson selected?
vobody seems to know; therefore,
,. Guess is as good as another.
panresentative Burleson, of Texas,
,,.iro,an of the house caucus and

has announced that he will not again

,oign TO get for him the job Burleson
is To yacate., From these moves the
.,binct builders FASTENED to infer that
Rur,oson is going into the cabinet and
Palmer is not
The Palmer part Of this inference was
strengthened by the fact that Repre-
sentative William B. Wilson will prob
ab,y be secretary of labor in the new
cabinet
Wilson comes from Pennsylvania. So
does Palmer. 1t is not considered good
norirfcs to have two cabinet members
from the same state, although President
Taft has tWo Chicagoans, Fisher and
NacVeagh, in his cabinet.
Post Thought Sure For Texan,
40 one who knows Burleson is will
ing TO believe that he would relinquish
the caucus craftsmanship unless he had
a chance to get something better He
has held ii since the Democrats took
command of the house and he could
have it for the next two years if he
went after it.
In this position he ranks next in i'm
rortancc to the chairman of the ways
and means committee. He can always
Get a caucus when he wants one. and
consequently has to be reckoned with
when any important legislation is at
stake.
Palmer in this position will be highly
useful to the president after March 4.
Palmer hoped hard for a cabinet posi-
ton for a long time, but 1t is known
that Wilson didn't want to lose him
from the floor of the house. He is ag
gressive, ambitious and a hard fighter,
and the president elect has taken
great fancy TO MN Slhce-the baltimore

They are accused of cutting up ST.

Lobster Rearing
Plant for Maine?

Rockland. Me, Dec. 10-It looks now
as though, from the agitation that he
arisen over the threatened discontinue
ance by the federal government of its
present methods of purchase of seed lob
sters might come the establishment OF
a new lobster-rearing plant on the Maine
coast.
The basis for this belief is in a letter
written by H NJ. Smith, L. S. commits
sioner of the bureau of fisheries, under
the secretary of commerce, in which he
says: Il have recommended to the see
rotary of commerce and he has endorsed
my recommendation that. in conjunction
with the regular discriminating. the
United States government provide also a
place on the New England coast. The OBJ
ject of such a plant would be the carry
ing of as large a number of lobster
larvae as possible"
1t will be noticed that this letter does
not say the Maine coast" but it is be-
lieved that it would naturally come to
the Maine coast and very likely to the
eastward where some of the harder and
best of Holsters are taken and where the
larvae could be handled to the best of
advantage.

1t is pointed out by Charles A. Con-

railroad counsel as an economist and
expert in monetary matters, that while
the average rate of the railroads per
ton mile had declined 5.5 per cent,
during the last 10 years, the cost of
commodities had increased in the same
period 11.6 per cent. He figured that

1918 over 1910 amounted to more than

examination, today, that the United

This one machine was acquired the
following year, he said. He also adj
mitted that the company at the same
time acquired control Of all the best
welting, heeling and metal fastening
machines used in shoe manufacturing.
Other heeling and metal fastening ma
chimes were on the market at that
time, but what he considered to be
the best of them were acquired by the

by adding them to its line of welting
and lasting machines.

COLD STILL TROUBLING.
Finds 1t Necessary to Cancel Engage
ments Because of Voice.


Washington, Dec. 10.-President Will
sons cold is still troubling him. He
found that it had so weakened his voice
that he had to cancel his address over
the telephone, tonight, to a banquet of
the Chamber of Commerce of Rochester.
N Y, Vice President Marshall speaking
in his place
The President sent the following tele
gram to the Rochester diners:
Il not only deeply regret, but am goat
ly chagrined to find myself utterly with
out voice, this evening, because of a saw
age cold against which L have been fight
ing for several days. In view of the
evening and my promise to you l nursed
my voice all day, but, this afternoon, was
obliged to use it at a meeting of the
Red Cross and there finished it complete
ly. l send you my deep regrets.
The Presidents difficulty in speaking
was apparent at the annual meeting of
the Red Cross, where. though he spoke
in a small room, his voice hardly carried
to its corners.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The scope of
President Wilson's program of anti
trust legislation became fairly we'll de-
fined, today, at the end of a confer
ence at the White House between the
President and six Democratic mem
bers of the House judiciary commit
tee, which is to undertake the prep
aration of the administration bills
The measures to be advanced for leg
isiation at this session will aim at the
following results:
Definition of the various forms of
monopoly and restraint of trade which
would be "Conclusively deemed I'M
reasonable" and in violation of law
Placing upon the defendant the bur-
den of proof to show that there IS no
Unreasonable" restraint of trade.
Prohibition of interlocking director
ates between large corporations.
Establishment of an Interstate Trade
Commission to exercise regulatory
powers, make original Investigations
and aid the courts in carrying out de-
crees of dissolution of trusts.
The details of legislation were not
worked out at the White House con-
ference nor was complete UNDER
standing reached as to the number of
bills that will be pushed for action at
the present session. The President
made it clear however, that he fav-
ors legislation along the general lines
of the Lenroot-La Toilette bill, which
has been before Congress since last
June, and which was designed to clear
up the Twilight zone" of operation
activities. The measure was the sub
)ect of much of the discussion and
members of the committee will take
up it's provisions for further consid-
Grafton. 1t would define by law near
iy a dozen forms of contracts, agree
ments, restraints, price-cutting and
the like, the "Reasonableness' of which
IS now left to the courts, but which
would be "Conclusively deemed to be
unreasonable and in restraint of
trade" by the proposed new law.
President Wilson's trust conferences OF
the last two weeks have included long
talks with Attorney General McReynolds
Senator Newland, chairman of the Senate
Interstate commerce committee; Secreta-
ry Redfeld of the department of com
merce, Rep. Clayton and Joseph E. Da.
vies, commissioner of corporations. He
is to confer again in few days with
Senator Newlands and other members OF
the Senate committee that will handle
trust legislation.
The House committee will begin worl
at once on the preliminary draft of trus
bills, but the members will seek fur
Their discussions with the President ovel
the form of the measures before com
pleting them for submission to this
House.
The President emphasized. in the con
ference, today, the need of legal bound:
for business activity that will place this
smaller business man upon an equality
with the larger; and that will give to the
business world in general a clear lega
definition of tn forms of combination
of trade that are unlawful.
Senator Newlands' bill for an interstate
trade commission, also introduced in Con.
gress, early last summer, is expected tC
be the basis for legislation along thai
line. The President is understood to IA

law. 1t would establish a commission

The company is now entering upon

resulted in increased in pay that will

safety, efficiency and greater service to
the public, will take large sums of mon
ey. Important lawsuits and investiga-
tons are pending, the results of which
are uncertain in their effect upon the
general financial and corporate condition
of the property.
THE directors feel, therefore, that the
