Declares Trust Measures
Would ShackIe LEGITIMATE
Business and ENTERPRISE

Victor Morawetz of New York declared
unequivocally against the proposed trust
measures now under consideration by
Congress before the convention of the
Commerce Chamber OF the United States
at the New Willard Hotel today. assert
ing that they impose additional prohibi-
tions which would give rise to additional
uncertainty and litigation He advocat-
ed. however. the establishment Of a fed
an act carefully defining its functions,
powers and duties.''
Referring to the proposed measures,
Mr.. Morawetz said some of the bills ''in-
stead of furnishing safeguards to indus
try against the forces which have dis
turbed it, would place shackles upon legit-
innate business and enterprise" None
of the bills. he declared, would tend to
make the present law more definite or
certain
THE antitrust act prohibits in the
broadest language restraints of trade and
monopolizing." he continued, land 1t Is
now settled that the purpose and policy
0 fthe act cannot be avoided by any dis
guise or Subterfuge.
II doubt that any statute can be drawn
that would really make the act more
definite and certain except. either by lin
iting the scope of the act and defeating
its purpose. or by sub1ecting commerce
to a set of cast-iron rules that would
cripple it. Certainly. neither the so-called

against competition, inadequate rates. de-
mands for excessive service, unreason-
able and unjust damage claims, federal
regulations superimposed upon state regu-
lations, and. most important of all,
against oppressive demands Of labor. Un-
der present conditions, the mere threat OF
a labor strike on a railroad ts sufnc1ent
to produce almost automatically an IN
crease in wages. or cause railway man
ayers to relinquish their right to enforce
discipline in the interest of the safety OF
the public and economy of operation, as
instanced by the recent strike on the Del
aware and Hudson railway. The best
evidence that our legislators have aban-
doned their campaign of punishment and
have become sincerely desirous of doing
the fair thing by our public Utilities will
be shown when some one has the courage
to introduce bill intended effectually to
prohibit strikes and lockouts on rail-
roads.
Monopoly is net in itself ob5ectionaole:
in fact. IL is often the most effective way
of dealing with industrial affairs. But
/ believe our political institutions and the
temper of our people are not adapted to
monopolistic methods that are in re-
straint of trade. and that fair CONF eti-
ton in business will make a more con-
tented public. more secure government.
and in the end give greater protection to
property. Therefore. l am in favor Of all
fair and reasonable legislation sustaining
that theory.

Interstate Trade Board
Commended by Prof. Seager
of Columbia University

Henry r. Seager, professor Of political

Der Of Commerce Of the United States at
the New Willard Hotel today that he re-
garded the proposed creation Of an inter-
state trade commission as worthy Of un-

In urging the creation Of the commis-

problem.

of determining the application of the
antitrust act to specific pans of busi-
ness. "One need not be the seventh son

Leads to Contempt Of Law.


"Such legislation leads to contempt for
the law and to iawlessness, and subsd-
tutes government by executive will for
government under laws. 1t is true that
more effective machinery could be pro-
vided for ascertaining violations of the
present law. for obtaining prompt deci-
sion as to its application to specific cases
and for enforcing its prohibitions more
efficiently. The creation of an interstate
trade commission could attain that result
and would be wise and effective meas

Members of the congressional commit

the copper mine strike have decided to
go to Calumet to inquire into the
Italian hall disaster. which resulted in
the death of more than seventy per-
sons on Christmas eve.
According to announcement, the investi-

the inspection Of the mines probably will

that no firearms We're purchased for the
strikers until after the mine & -nerS had
imported machine guns, some time after
the strike was called. James Holmes, a

he had sold number of revolvers and
at least forty-two rifles to the Neely and

of sixteen more.
The date given for the first of the
alleged sales was September II before

were imported into the strike district

ANACOST|A CITIZENS
OBJECT TO PARK WALL
Declare Structure Obstructs View
and Ask That It Be

The presence of the high wall at the
south end Of Logan Park in Anacostia
was the cause OF much criticism by the
members of the Anacostia Citizens AS
sociation at its meeting last evening
The superintendent of public buildings
and grounds will be asked TO have it re-
moved.
Charles r. Burr president of the asso-
cation, in opening the discussion told
about the complaint that was made
against this wall about a year ago. when
IL was being erected. 1t has now been
year since II was completed, he said and
serious complaint continues to be made
against IL The wall is probably fifteen
feet high and runs across the entlFe
southern end of the park. 1t completely
obstructs the view of residents south OF
the park. and gives the appearance of a
tortification.
in connection with this park. a letter
vas read from Col. Harts, superintendent
OF public buildings and grounds. asking
that the association lend its aid IN en-
deavoring to keep the park in proper
condition. The letter stated that because
OF the indifference OF the children while
playing therein the shrubbery was being
ruined and the park In other ways being
pearance.
Appeal to Children.
The association unanimously voted to
lend its aid. and President Charles r
Burr and DR.. James 4. Watson. who
will speak in the public schools in the
near future at the Washington birthday
exercises, will urge the children to take
a pride in this, the only public park in
.Nnacostia.
The association went on record as unan-
imously opposed 10 the erection OF any
poles in the suburb in the future, and the
Commissioners will be asked to secure
from Congress the necessary authority to
prevent this. The association will also
ASK that the poles now lying in Maple
