Regulating Big Business.
The American Can Company decision,
handed down by Justice Rose of the
federal district court Wednesday. is
very commentary upon the change of
sentiment toward legitimate big busi-
ness. 1t is significant that the learned
Jurlst, In passing upon the case, held
| that the corporation in question was
formed in direct violation of the Sher-
man law. and yet the dissolution of
| this corporation is not ordered 1t con-
tinues to exist in spite of the law to
the contrary.
OF necessity, this decision has
aroused wide attention throughout the
industrial world, and very likely the
matter will be brought to the attention
OF Congress. Justice Rose observes
that the corporation in question has
been too carefully organized and per
forms too important functions to be
rudely disturbed. W. S. COUSINS.

In return for special legislation for
the benefit Of a comparatively few people
and against the interests of the general
public, leaders OF four labor unions now
are endeavoring to deliver the votes
Of their members to the Wilson admins
tration," according to a statement made
yesterday by Johnathan Bourne at the
headquarters of the Republican Publicity
Association, Of which he is president.
Mr.. Bourne continued:
With a frankness never before dis
played in the barter and sale of votes,
labor leaders assert that the adrninistra-
ton has used its official power in the
interests Of these men and urges upon
them the duty Of delivering the vote.
The price has been paid in legislation
which provides for an increased wage,
and the administration expects the vote
to be recorded.
There is not even a pretense that the
wage-tncrease was for the general well
fare. The argument is based upon the
fact that there was special legislation
for special interests and that those
special interests should give the desired
reward In 'unstinted measure
