Says Bills in Congress
to Curb Trusts Are
Not Those of Wilson

LOUIS u. BranoelS OF Boston, Specfdl
counsel for the interstate commerce COM
mission. delivered an address late yes
terday afternoon before the convention
of the Chamber of Commerce Of the Unit
ed States, during the symposium on the
proposed antitrust legis alton Of the
administration. in which he said that the
bills now being considered in Congress
represent only the ground work of what
Is proposed to be done.
These bills that have been introduced
are not administration bills" he said.
They are the bills of those members
who introduced them. l find much In
them that would see amended or cor
rected and ! have found the greatest de-
sire among their authors to get sugges-
tons from you business men that will
aid them In carrying out the President 5
program"
Desires Regulation.
Free and unrestricted competition was
not the Presidents object, Mr.. Brandeis
declared. but rather regulated competi-
ton. Abso ute divorce of transportation
from industry, he continued, was es-
sential to any legislative action tha,
would set business free. Every grea,
monopoly had been built up on privilege
and preference and discrimination in its
favor by transportation companies. he
believed. and while great strides had
been made toward curbing this. the
small manufacturer still was at a dis
advantage because the bulk of the busi-
ness done by his great competitor carried
with it railway preferences.
For Industrial Democracy.
In closing Mr.. Brandeis pleaded roI
| industrial democracy. Business could
and would be put, he believed. upon the
same plane the medical or engi-
neering professions.
Henry r. Towne. former presiden,
of the Merchants Association of New
York city. told the convention that he
saw in the proposed interstate trade
commission the education of body OF
men fitted to cope with business prob
| lens and to adjudge business disputes

edge than any court of law could bring

CARRIAGE EFAV0RS
TO BIG SHIPPERS
Theme at Conference on Rail-

ture Hearings Discussed.

Interstate commerce commission hear
ings in several cities east Of Chicago and
north of the Potomac river were suggest
ed today during the conference before
Commissioner Har an on the so-calied
free service rendered by carriers to
shippers at terminal points.
Protest against decision with no more
than the three days OF hearing now In
progress was made by representatives OF
merchants associations and manufac-
turers leagues. Commissioner Harlan
assured them full opportunity would be
given for all sides in the dispute to be
heard. He would not say. however, where
the hearings might be held.

nal division of the Pennsylvania railroad
described in detail terminal services rem
dered by carriers in that city and the
problems Of traffic distribution.

asked that hearings be held In Chicago.

pers generally might be heard.
In his opening statement Louis D.
Brandeis, counsel for the omrIssion, de-
cIared these services gave favored ship
nerS free cartaRe for their SOoQS WHICH
small shippers could not participate IN
because of the minimum weight restric-
tions.
The service cost the railroads many
millions. he asserted. and inasmuch as
the per cent increase had In view
as a result an increase OF railroad
revenues Of only $50,000.000, they
should be closely scanned
Lists Of cities in the eastern ciassi-
fication territory. where free delivery
is made by the carriers. were submitted
today by counsel for the roads at the
request of Mr.. Brandeis. who again
sought to show that the free service
charges consumed an undue proportion
of the revenue arising from the goods
delivered.
Charges Covering "Joint Hauls."
Sheets showing the manner in which
these charges were met by the rail-
roads that pay them to each other
where joint hauls are made were in
troduced by counsel for the roads with
copies of the various tariffs, showing
that each was a duly advertised ex-
emption, open to ell shippers.
Intricate tables on cost of operation
also were submitted to support the
contention of the carriers that If this
service were ordered discontinued no
saving would be made for the rail-
roads If the large shippers were
forced to pay for the service, it was
argued, they would discontinue 1t and
traffic congestions in all large cities
would be the certain result.
