Legislation 10 Limit POWer
Of Railroads.

Washington, Dec. l0,--Attornoy
General Gregory made his first report
to congress today Az head Of the do
partment Of justice. lie recommended
several amendments 10 existing laws
and gave n comprehensive review Of
the work Of the department for the
fiscal year. His principal recommenda-
tlon was for an amendment 10 the
commodities clause Of the interstate
commerce act designed 10 block the
way Of any common carrier which
seeks to transport products over its
lines In which II has any interest
whatsoever.
In asking for such legislation the
attorney general referred TO the diff.
nculty the department has encoun-
tered In attempting 10 break up what
IL known AZ the hard coal combina-
tion" controlling a large part Of the
anthracite fields In eastern Pennsyi
vanla.
He told congress that railroads In
that field have met recent supreme
court decisions, interpreting the com
modities clause, by the organization Of
corporations whose stock IL distributed
raMbly among stOckhOlders OF the
railroad, with its management domin-
ated by the railroad
To such corporation, he says, the
railroad In question sells coal at the
mines under contract which puts
the new corporation largely, II not
completely, within the power Of the
railroad" This plan has been chal.
lenged by the government.
Railroad Amendment.
! II recommend wrote Mr.. Gregory,
'an amendment which will prohibit q
railroad from transporting In inter
state commerce. articles which Il
manufactured or produced or which
were manufactured or produced BY
any corporation controlled by n or
affiliated with Il by having the came
controlling stockholders, Irrespective
OF whether such railroad or such con.
trolled affiliated corporation has an
interest In the articles at the time Of
transportation.
II In also necessary II transportation
and production are 10 be completely
divorced, that congress prohibit any
railroad owned or controlled by
producing or trading corporation ana
not operated merely az a plant facih-
ty, from transporting in interstate
commerce articles produced or owned
by such corporation
The attorney general recites at
length the enforcement Of the Sherman
antitrust act during the last fiscal
wear. Speaking Of the negotiations with
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railway company, he informed con.
gress that the department while In
tent upon enforcing the law" realized
/ that II must proceed 80 AZ TO cause
the least embarrassment TO investors
and Ia the unsettled industries Of New
| England.
