WASHINGTON June 25.-Con-
gressman Linthicum has received a
letter from Lorie c. Quinn. of Girls
field. urging that steps be taken by
the Federal Government to preserve
the crab supply in the waters Of the
Chesapeake Bay and tributaries.
He wrote Mr. Linthcum. the letter
stated because Of the Congressman's
interest in the preservation Of fish in
the bay and tributaries and his cf-
forts to bring about needed national
and State legislation
Speaking Of the situation as to the
crab supply. Mr.. Quinn stated that a
great industry has been built up in
tidewater Maryland which yields a
large revenue, but that unless some
protection is afforded small and
spawn crabs It will not be long be-
fore the supply will be depleted.

crabs are cooked during April and
May; that large quantities of spawn
crabs are taken and that during the
winter months while the crabs are

Former President Taft and
The Law Of The Trust Bills
lFrom lhe New Yorls rImes.l }

In the Magazine Section of The
Sunday Times this morning the man
who was Judge before he was a
President, and who now is am instuc-
tor Of law at Yale. concludes his
series Of articles on the Sherman
law, and considers some aspects Of
the proposed amendment OF IT, II
reason and authority were to prevail,
the considerations which Mr. Taft
advances would strongly influence the
action Of Congress within the next
teW days, He draws a clear dis
junction between attempts to regulate
prices and profits II is the province
OF law to deal with conduct alone.
leaving the regulation of prices and
proflts to economic considerations.
Mr. Taft shows with clearness how
the administration Of the sherman
law, by furnishing wrongs. and pre-
venting their repetition. has exer-
cised economic influence which it
would have been impolite If not i'm
possible to attempt in any other
way
Standard OH gained its monopoly
by abnormally depressing the price
Of crude oil, Of which it owned little.
and made its undue profits by thus
gaining monopoly control Of the re-
fined oil trade, Since the dissolution
of the trust the price OF crude oil
mas risen 100 per cent, and the per-
centage Of the trade done By the in
dependents has risen from Is to IA
per cent. These are desirable econo-
mic and trade results, and they have
been reached by the correction or
trade abuses, not by The regulation
ol prices and profits The dissolu-
ton Of the Tobacco Trust has been
followed by similar rise in the
price of the raw material. which was
kept unduly depressed by the mo-
nopoly control Of the market. The
abuse was the monopoly, not the
cheapening of the price Of tobacco
The remedy was the correction of the
abuse not an edict that the price Of
tobacco should be higher. There
would have been nothing wrong
about the price of oil or tobacco at
the same figures. if there had been
no misconduct in the trade. The con
Duct being corrected the prices cor
rected themselves. The object Of
the antitrust law was the suppress
sion Of the abuses Of business. That
has been accomplished actually in
the case Of the strongest Of malefac-
tor trusts and theoretically in the
Evening journal., 1914-06-25

case Of weaker combinations and Of
all men of business VINO truly wish
TO know their rights and duties.
MT. Taft deals specifically with the
proposal 70 legalze the boycott, and
70 grant to combinations of farmers
and laborers license to break the law
imposed upon all others. The Sher-
man law is a declaration of the com
man law. and the boycott is against
common law, that is the custom of
trade as established through the
practice of centuries. The exemption
Of unions and farmers from the gen
eral application Of the law will be
legislation establishing a privilege foF
a class that is supposed to be powevm
ful in votes, without any real rea-
son for the distinction" The nre-
posal to insist upon prison sentences
will not act as intended. Convictions
viii be harder to secure If the court
has no discretion between fine and
Imprisonment. This has proved 40

o. the same trust on the same proof
have failed, because jurymen would
not convict This reluctance and
difficulty Of prosecution is greater
now that the law is clearer. Politi-
clans may like to draw blood, but
fellow-citizens are indulgent with
each other regarding trade practices
which are often regarded merely as
shrewd business unless there are
public wrongs involved
In short, the value of the statute
lies both in its original clearness Of
expression and in the certainty es-
tabiished through twenty years of adj
minfstration. Now Congressman OF
the shortest experience, and of views
rejecting little comprehension of the
issues involved, are trying their
prentice hands at improving upon
the work of Senator Edmunds and the
Supreme Court. Every" form Of
scheme to suppress competition and
control prices and effect monopoly is
forbidden. What else does the
legislator desire? Only something
that he can point to on the statute
book as evidence of his higb-minded
and yote-getting ferocity. II the law
interpreted by the Supreme Court
remains on the statute book IL will
continue to free business from its
