ANTITRUST Law
LEGISLATION FARCE
By Hon. Frank r. GO0ding, U. s.
Senator from Idaho

Senator from Idaho
It is impossible to correct evils Of
our industrial system through the
Sherman antitrust law, the Clayton
act and the Federal Trade Commits
sion.
/ have not forgotten that when we
had one Of the Assistant Attorneys
General before the Interstate Com
lnerce Cim1nittee he told the story Of
how they transact business in these
days. They do It around the table,
There is no record Of any conspiracy
or any combination to increase prices.
They Do II in q. very simple way, n
an Investigation by the government OF
the General Electric Company it wal
shown that while the sale Of the lit
lie light bulbs constitutes only 20 per
cent Of the business Of that company
their profits from that source were
60 per cent Of the total profits Of tn
company.
Under the improved methods Of do.
ling business the Sherman anti-trust
law Is pretty nearly q dead letter
on the statute books.
It is not enforced and never hal
been enforced. and under the presen
methods Of doing business it Is prac
] tieally impossible to enforce It.

Trade Union Foes Defend
Anti-Union Shop Movement

serious charges and then running
away does not close the incident.
The most casual reading Of history
should acquaint any one with the fact
that the labor movement can not be
airily swept aside. Nor will it re-
main silent when misrepresented.
Il Is not true that trade unionists
do not control their movement; that
they do not demand an accounting
Of monies collected and expended, or
that their officials exercise autocrat-
ic or unauthorized power.
There can be no general concord or
understanding between labor and cap
italists as long as considerable Sec
tion Of the latter profess such dis
tressing ignorance Of this country's
greatest social phenomena.
These lihels are not new to organ
ized workers. Despite them labor has
developed character, consciousness Of
right and an intelligent power for good
that Is felt in every social, economic,
civil and political activity. fs
4 Wherever applied, labor's demand
FOR democracy in industry has sup
planted ignorance and intolerance that
Is ever associated with autocratic con-
troll.
It is unnecessary for Judge Gary
to "hint" at the position of anti-union
employers. Labor is well aware of
their purpose to feudalize industry.
They plead. Freedom for labor"
while they deny the one thing that win
substitute fact for fictino.
Organized labor's best answer to
the anti-union employer Is to sweep
the ground from under him By adu-
cation and agitation.

No commercial business was taken
on BY the city until the fall Of 1916,
two years after the passage Of the
Municipal Ownership Act, granting 70
cities the right to operate commercial
power plants.
In 1909 the writer was placed u
charge Of the water works, which was
alerady municipality owned: and in
1911 the electric plant was placed in
his department also. The pumping
station is located on the Sangamon
river, four and on-half miles form
the center of the city and four miles
from where the electric power station
was then located. At that point there
was no condensing water available. It
was evident that these two utilities
could be operated together under eaA
roof much more economically than IS
separate plants. It was also self-evi-
dent that II the city was to operate
utilities, right heretofore withheld
except as to water, this would be the
proper procedure.

orous fight on d by the private util=

Under the provision OF the Commits

etive and referendum, the ordinance

passed BY popular vote at a special
election held h January, 1914 In the
campaign preceding the election
the subject Of municipal operation
Of a commercial electric utility was
thoroughly debated. The newspapers
divided on the question and gave it
wide publicity.

phny brought pressure to bear on the
