Evasion of Law by Big Corporations

One OF the outstanding developments
OF recent congressional Investigations is
the revelation Of what appears to be q
well defined purpose OF many corpora
tons to evdde stdtute low. Instead Of
undertaking to ascertain the true spirit
of our low, in addition to the letter, and
then complying with both the letter and
the spirit. q considerable number Of
corporations, it has been shown. mobil-
ize all the ability Of their legal experts
TO devise methods for evdding the low
without dctuollY violating it. and thus de-
feat the purpose OF the peoples repre-
sentdtives in endcting such legislation.
An Illustration Of this unpotriotic prdc-
tee wds brought into the open by the
Senate subcommittee investigating labor
espionage in the testimony Of jones H.
Smith, president of the Corporations Aux
ilidrY Company an alleged labor spy
concern with headquarters in Cleveland,
Ohio. regarding the services rendered by
the company to the ChrYsler Corporation.
one Of the largest automobile mdnufdc-
turing concerns in the United States.
According to press reports. the testi-
monY showed hot the ChrYsler Corpor-
alton paid the Corporations Auditory
Company SOL .627.48 for alleged spying
activities in the interest Of the corporation
in 1888. $76,4ll.8l in 1884. 72.307.67 in
1885. and $64.885.72 for the first ten
months Of 1886.
Senator La Toilette. chairman Of the
subcommittee. called attention to the fact
that the Securities and Exchange Act Of
1884 requires q report of expenditures Of
$4,000 or over for any single purpose.
The documents presented by Senator La
Toilette revealed thdt the bill of the Cor
pordtions Auxiliary Company to the
ChrYsler Corporation for services rend-
cred during 1885, amounting to $780,
81. Wds rendered in four separate
amounts each under $4,000, one by q
ldw firm Of which Smith Wds q member,
another by the Equitable Audit and Pub
fishing Company q Smith dffiliote. and
one each by the Corporations Auditory
Company and an dffilidte. the Inferno
tiondl Auditory Company.
Senator La Toilette asked Mr.. Smith if
this splitting up the bill for S72, 1907. 81 into
four smdller bills each less than the
ar1ou1 il5r which q report is required by
the Securities and Exchange Act wds not
on attempt to evdde the low. Mr.. Smith,
with weasel words. refused to odmit this.
An attorney representing the ChrYsler
Corporation, in response to On inquiry
regarding his knowledge Of the alleged
folse billing by the Corporations Aux
ilidrY Company in order to avoid the
requirements Of the Act, sold he heard
the testimony but could not vouch for its
accuracy. Despite these indirect deniols,
the circumstances under which split bills
for alleged spy work were rendered for
1885 for the first time in four years. and
Immediately otter the enactment Of the
Securities and Exchange Act required
reports Of expenditures for the same puT-
pose Of amounts in excess of $4,000 or
over, the average person is very likely
to interpret the practice as q corporation
devised scheme to evdde q %meritorious
law.
