HEARING IN ALBANY

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YorHi HERALD.
New York Herald bureau,
Albany, May {.
Gov. Miller Endorsed to-day the prin-
ciple laid down in the Meyer Martin
bill extending provisions of the Dom
nelly antitrust act to cover any arti-
Gle used in trade or commerce, and at
the same time took advantage of an
opportunity offered in the public hear
ing before him on that measure to de-
clare against government by special
commission.
Every publisher in the State includ
ing representatives OF all the New
York newspapers, lined up in favor OF
the bill and asked the Governor to
sign it. The labor organizations OF the
State were against il.
The Photo-Engravers Union. whose
price fixing will DO stopped by this
Dill. appealed to the Governor to APP
point a commission to investigate the
trade. Edward J. volz, president Of
the union. said the trouble arises from
a trade disagreement between pub
fishers and the photo-engravers and
could be settled by a commission. His
union, the speaker said, pledged to
adopt the finding OF commission.
Gov. Miller interrupted and said:
The Governor
The trouble with your suggestion Of
my appointing a commission is that 4
great many similar suggestions have
been made in other matters. that in
steal or having law. the Governor or
somebody else should appoint somebodv
wholly extra-legal in that way. who
would be nothing but his own personal
agent. to determine what ought 10 be
done.
Ny view IS that II there is occasion
Tor anything It should be prescribed BY
law and that one OF the difficulties m
der which We are suffering in this coun-
~ II That we have had too much per-
sonal government. and If this Is q case
Tor law, then Il ought to be a law
adopted by the Legislature"
Charles a. ;srodek. speaking for the

trade is permitted to adopt a selling
basis which will preserve for II security
of wages the trade will revert TO chaotic
conditions which existed prior TO 1916.
Speaking OF rne photo engraving em-
ployers he said
IF we indulge in cutthroat COMPETE
ton we render ourselves liable TO a
strike on the part OF the union"
Il don't suppose you say competitive
selling is an alternative OF competition -
the Governor questioned. The speaker
said he did not
why should this industry be differ
ent from any other with respect to the
law the Governor asked. 'Jr it Is
unlawful to enter into a combination
with respect TO some other article why
should there be any different rule with
respect to this?"
I'VE do not ask any different rule"
"The bill as proposed is very drastic"
J. T. Mahoney, counsel for the union.
said
II don't see why you call 1t drastic"
the Governor interrupted. The law was
that a monopoly In the manufacture.
production or sale OF any article of trade
or commerce il forbidden. Why is II a
rule uniform? don't see anything very
drastic ABOUT it,
THE bill Is reactionary," Mahoney
said a moment later.

there Is copyright or patent. am

1t as a reactionary doctrine to oppose

~ did not say I advocated monopoly"
Mahoney said.
That is what this (union) does" the
Governor said '4The monopoly results
from the suppression of competition.
That Is the only way monopoly is Gre
ated."

adopt price at which its products
should be sold so we could enjoy the
conditions to which we are entitled,
