WILSON TAKES UP
TRUST PROBLEMS
COnfers with McReynOlds
Regarding Changes in
Pending Bills.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-President Wilson
and Attorney General McReynolds spent
two hours tonight at the White House
examining in detail the various bills pend
ing before Congress dealing with the trust
problem.
AfterWard the Attorney General said
that the whole question would have to be
worked out gradually, but an idea Of the
administrators desires was gained from
an authoritative quarter.
Some OF the proposals in the tentative
measures on which hearings are being
held will be entirely revamped and others
will be dropped.
The Attorney General and the President
are agreed that the proposed Interstate
Trade Commission can be made valua-
bic instrument for dealing with the trust
problem, provided its powers are properly
restricted. 1t should not, they think.
exercise any administrative or regulatory
functions or in any way encroach upon
the field OF the Department OF Justice.
1t is proposed 10 give the commission
merely powers OF inquisition possessed by
grand jury. its findings to be passed
upon by the Department OF Justice. The
commission, the Attorney General thinks
could keep an eye on corporations already
dissolved 10 determine whether DEGREES
are being carried out in good faith
The suggestion that the commission be
not required 70 obtain reports from small
OF carnations and concerns under 5000. 900
in capitalization is being favorably con-
sidered.
Some OF the proposed specific additions
10 the law relating TO price fixing may
be dropped entirely and prevention OF
evils arising in this connection left TO the
Department OF Justice for prosecution, as
at present.
What the administration is DESTROYS OF
doing is 10 add such legislation as will
help TO prevent monopoly, but will in no
way increase the already debatable area
around the antitrust law.
Further conferences between the Pres
ident and the Attorney General are like
ly, as are conferences with members OF
the. Congressional committees having the
legislation in charge. The emphasis at
present is on the fact that the pending
measures are purely tentative and
launched chiefly for purposes of discus
sion.
