—Offenders Will Be Made In
dividually Responsible.
Washington, Nov. 17.—The anti
trust legislation program which will
be undertaken by the administration
am! which will follow disposition of
the currency question in congress, so
U-r as matters have progressed, will
Include this plan:
1. The limitation of the capital stock
of corporations engaged in interstate
commerce.
2. Regulating the sale price of food
stuffs in the hands of trusts and mo
nopolies.
Regulating the operations of the
refrigerating trust.
4. Preventing interlocking directo
rates.
5. Holding directors of corporations
operating in violation of the anti-trust
law' responsible as individuals.
Discrimination to Be Illegal.
(). Making it a misdemeanor for any
corporation, firm or person to discrim
inate between different sections by
selling any commodity or article of
merchandise in one community tit a
price less than that at which the
same commodity is sold in another
section when tlie intent is to obtain a
monopoly or drive a competitor out of
business.
Democratic members of the house
committee on the judiciary have been
considering, for more than a month,
the various hills providing for trust
regulation which have been referred
to them. While it is too early as yet
to predict the exact nature of the hills
for regulating trusts which will be re
ported from the committee in general,
the legislation which congress will be
called Upon to consider, and which
will have the indorsement of Presi
dent Wilson and Attorney-General Mc
Reynolds, will he substantially as out
lined above.
President Outlines His Idea.
Already President Wilson has held
saveral conferences with the chair
man of the house judiciary commit
tee, and has given him a tentative out
line of the trust legislation which he
desires should he enacted into law.
The president is not in any way en
deavoring to dictate to members of
this committee what they should do,
hut he is co-operating with them in
order that the pledges made in the
Baltimore platform regarding the reg
ulation of trusts and monopolies may
lie fulfilled. There will be numerous
conferences between the executive
and legislative branches of tin' gov
ernment on the trust proposition,
however, before the administration
measures are ready to he presented to
congress and given consideration by
the two houses.
Capital Stock Limitation.
The limitation of the capital stock
of corporations engaged in interstate
commerce is one of the questions
which is considered to be of first im
portance by judiciary committee mem
bers. Several bills embracing this
feature of trust regulation are before
the committee. There has been much
discussion as to the amount of capital
which should be permitted in the for
mation of such corporations. A limit
placed upon such amount, it is be
lieved by some of the members of the
committee, would go a long way in
the direction of preventing the enor
mous amount of capital controlled by
the steel trust, the beef trust and the
harvester trust.
