Washington. February q
Antitrust Legislation.

Are Governor Wilson's "seven sisters
to be regarded as a signboard designed
by the President-elect 10 point to the adj
visibility OF leaving 20 the states the SUI
pervison and control OF the trusts. or are
they TO be accepted as indicative of the
type Of antitrust legislation which as
President Mr.. Wilson will urge upon con-
gress? This 81 one OF the questions which
those who think seriously on the subject OF
trust regulation are asking now that the
New jersey Legislature has passed the
Wilson measures. The course Of the DEM
ocrats in the Senate in striking vital
blow at the principle OF conservation
through an overweaning zeal for states
rights would seem so indicate the cor
rectness OF the former hypothesis. On the
other hand, many OF Or. Wilson's utter
ances seem 10 afford ground for the as
sumption that in securing this legislation
at the hands Of the New Jersey LegiS-
lature he WAS merely blazing trail for
the national legislature. Strikingly op-
posed 20 the states rights policy IS the
recommendation contained in Il Delated re-
port which the Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce adopted to-day. This
report recommends the creation or com
mission which shall exercise over cor
porations engaged IN interstate commerce
supervision similar TO that exercised
over the railroads by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. AS is pointed out by
the more conservative Republicans ana By
som. Democrats. nothing could be more
opposed 10 the doctrine Of states rights
than such control by federal commits
sion. and nothing could go further In pro-
noting GENERALIZATION OF power The
scheme n.orsed by the ma iority OF the
Senate comn>tee j. in line with the Ball
Moose programme. but seems TO be OPP
posed TO both Republican and Democratic
doctrine Incidentally the scheme or the
Senate committee acords with the views
Of Z. II. Gary. of the Steel Trust. and those
Of George W. Perkins, Of the Information
al Harvester Trust. II President Fleet
Wilson lives up 10 the extreme STATES
rights doctrine Of his party In the Senate
he may please the trusts 10 some extent.
although there is reason 10 believe that
MS advocacy OF this legislation BY his own
state has aIienated much Of the support
which he received from Wall street last
autumn
