RubIee and Brandeis.

The Senate's rejection of George
Rublee, nominated by President Wilson
for the federal trade commission and
who has served on that commission
ever since its creation, constituted
decided blow to Mr.. Wilson's prestige
in Congress and stiikingly indicates
the waning power of the Executive.
Mr.. Wilson eXerted every influence to
induce the Senate to confirm MIR. Rub
lee Notwithstanding which fact four
teen Democrats votal against his con-
frmation.
The Republicans voted almost solid
ly against the New Hampshire Demo-
crat on the plea of Senator Gallinger
that Rublee was personally obnoxious
to him, but the Democratic opposition
was due to another cause. 1t was
brought out in the executive session
that Rublee has always been a cham
pion of that peculiarl. obnoxious form
Of monopoly which would enable the
manufacturers of patented and pro-
prietary articles to fix the prices At
which they must be sold and to forbiG
any retailer to cut :,"ices.
This form of monopoly has been
condemned by the Supreme Court. 1t
was further brought cut that Mr.. Rub
lee had co-operated with Louis D.
Brandeis in framing and attempting to
lobby through the Sevtens bill which
provides that manufa cturers could so
fix prices. Many of the Republicans
maintained. moreover, that President
Wilson had evaded the law in nomi-
mating Rublee, who was Progress
sive, on board which the law pro-
vided must be bipartisan. Senator
La Toilette led the fight for Rublee's
confirmation. It was defeated IS to A..
The Stevens law consideration is
likely to figure against Brandeis when
the vote is taken, for his connection
with the so-caled Fair Trade" prop
osition has thoroughly aroused Ameri-
cans who are tired of being hog-tied
by trade and legal combinations.
