FUNDS ARE VOIED
FOR POWER PROBE
Norris Hits "Trust" Charg
ing Concerted Effort to
Build Up Monopoly.
Br the Assoc. a ted Press.
By voting more money to the Federal
Trade Commission, the Senate has
paved the way for a continuance of Its
power and economic Investigations.
Without a reoord vote, the commission's
funds were increased from $790,000 as
recommended by the Appropriations
Committee to $1,100,000 urged by Sen
ator Robinson of Arkansas, the Demo
cratic leader.
1 After thus putting Itself on record,
the Senate sat back and listened to
Senator Norrls, Republican. Nebraska,
• light Into what he termed "the power
trust" and the Edison Electric Institute.
The committee had edded $280,000 to
the $510,000 provided by the House,
stipulating in the increase as murh of
the money as was necessary should be
used to continue the long investigation
I Into the electric power corporations.
Charges Monopoly Drive.
Norris, reminding his colleagues this
was an "annual battle" between the
two branches of Congress over how
much the commission should get, re
viewed its power inquirv, which he said
had showed up "a combination of men,
money and corporations more active in
trying to build up a monopoly" than
•ny In history.
One result, he said, was that the
National Electric Light Association,
which he contended was the propa
Sinda agency of the power interests,
ad been reformed Into the Edison Elec
tric Institute after it had been "put
Into disrepute before honest people
everywhere."
Will "Bear Watching.''
* If the association, he said, "has
teally got religion and really been con
verted. there Is no one who would bs
more delighted than I," adding he be
lieved It would "bear watching" and
that "examination will show that this
old electric light association still lives
In spirit."
He named the Institute's officers as
the same men who were officers of the
association, and said some of them were
"caught red-handed pouring water into
capitalization."
"This National Electric Light Asso
ciation has only changed its shirt," he
(mirt, "and the shirt it is putting on is
Just as dirty as the one It is taking off."
