NEW ANTI TRUST LAWS

Iatlon.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON May 2S.-Presi-
dent Wilson today took sharp issue
with delegation of big business men
who declared the agitation for anti.
trust legislation was causing business
depression. This delegation appealed
to the president to postpone all anti.
trus. legislation except the bill Great.
ing the interstate trade commission
until after that committee could rec.
ommend a new set Of antitrust laws
that would properly strengthen the
Sherman law. The president refused
point blank to agree to any such plan
He also intimated strongly that in his
opinion, ii business men continued to
oppose the moderate amendments pro
posed, q new and drastic anti-.rust
law would result, fathered by the rad
ical element in the United States.
The visitors had contended that
thousands Of men were out Of employ
ment and business was generally at a
standstill because investors were fear
full of risking their money in enter
prises that might be stopped by dras-
tic legislation.
The president directly contradicted
this. In his Judgment he held nothing
more dangerous for business than un.
certainty. I. has become evident, he
said, through the developments of the
last decade that . policy such % the
democratic party II now pursuing II
absolutely necessary 70 satisfy ths
conscience of the country and ftt
perception of prevailing conditions Of
business. 1t is a great deal better to
do the thing moderately and soberly
now, the president said, than to wait
until more radical forces had accumu.
lated and It was made necessary to
go much further.
The president said that while he is
aware Of the present apparent de-
preston Of business there is abundant
evidence that this depression is mere.
ly psychological. He insisted there is
material condition or substantial
reason why the business OF the coun-
try should at .he present moment be
in most prosperous and expanding
condition. He urged upon his visitors
the necessity Of patriotic co-opera-
tion on the part of the business men
OF the country In order to support
rather than oppose .he moderate pro-
cesses Of reform and to help digest
by their own intimate knowledge OF
business conditions and processes.
President Wilson also told his visit
ors 1t is his earnest desire to serve
and not to hinder or injure the busi-
ness OF the country in any way.
The delegation consisted OF com.
mfttse representing Illinois and Ohio
business men. It presented a petition
to the president in which It declared
that business Is hesitating and the
unemployed are numbered by thous-
ands," due to uncertainty regarding
legislation affecting business.

LINCOLN, Nebr., May 28.-The
control of the St. Joseph and Grand
Island railway by the Union Pacific
railway which owns 81 per cent Of
the stock, Is in violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust law, and unless con-
troll Of the Grand Island road is
turned over to the minority stockhold-
ers within sixty days, a receiver viii
be appointed. This Is the ruling of
Federal Judge Munger who last even
ing handed down an injunction de-
cree. The case involves the control
OF about six million dollars and was
brought by the minority stockholders
two years ago. Eminent counsel
were engaged and the legal battle
was one OF giants. Samuel Dntermey-
er, New York lawyer, who was coun-
sci Of the money trust investigation
committee OF congress, led the attack
on the Union Pacific as counsel for
the minority stockholders and oppos-
ed to him were Edison Rich and Mel
son H. Loomis, for the Union Pacific
and VIM. D. Guthrie. one OF the lead
ers OF the New York bar, who repre-
sented the Grand Island company.
1t was alleged by the minority
stockholders that the majority stock
holders, which Is the Union Pacific.
were using the funds and earnings OF
the Grand Island road to develop and
improve, only that part OF the road
which was being used by the Union
Pacific as part Of its msin line. this
being due. It was alleged. to the dis
regard OF a property Improvement
and development of the Grand Island
line. 1t was also charged that the
Union Pacific had absorbed COM
peting line when It obtained control
of the Grand Island road and thus
was violating the Sherman antitrust
law. The Union Pacific contended
that even II the Grand Island line
had been a competing line, the
amount Of competition was so small
as to not justify the road being con-
sidered a competing line within the
meaning of the Sherman law and con-
corning this the court says:
III a railway company may be per-
mitted to absorb one competing COM
pany because the amount Of such
competition is relatively small, the
process may be continutd until many
such small units have been gathered
into great system OF non-competi-
tive railway transportation. We
hold that an unreasonable restraint
of trade, within the meaning of the
Sherman act is shown by the evil
dence."
