NEW ANTITRUST BILL
hoi sb wil.i, osly ise the title
op senator i mikri.kak's
measure:
DWINNELL HAS AMENDMENT
The Substitute Furnished by the
Coanmlttee of th c Senate Said to
Be Only a Declaration of Prin
ciples Prnctlcnlly the Sherman
Law Revamped Text of th*- Sub
stitute.
The Underleak anti-trust bill came up
Vn the house yesterday as a special order.
Mr. Dwinnell (Rep.), of Hennepin, who
had charge of the measure in the house,
lnienupted the clerk who had started to
read the printed bill, saying that he had
an amendment which practically struck
out all the bill as passed by the senate
with the exception of the title.
Speaking to the bill, he said that it
was not made a ppecial order in order
that a talk might be made on the meas
ure. All members of the house, he un
derstood, favored a bill along this line.
The bill as it passed the senate, he
■tated, was not the original bill intro
duced by Senator Underleak, but one
llrawn by a sub-committee from the ju
diciary committee. The original Under
leak bill had been discarded by this sub
committee and a substitute drawn which
»as really a draft of the Sherman anti
trust law. The bill as it passed the sen
ate was too far reaching, as it reached
the labor organizations and mutual
creamery associations, but did not reach
the larger trusts.
Since IS9I the state had an anti-trust
law. It had not been enforced for the
reason that it was too far reaching. The
amendment he had prepared to the so
tallod Underleak bill not only made a
penalty for violations of the provisions,
but it took away from corporations which
participateed in trusts, their franchises.
A large number of the well-thinking peo
ple were of the opinion that trusts were
the- result of economic development. The
great trusts, however, were not natural*
but simply the result of privileges given
these trusts anrl corporations by legis
latures. He believed the time had come
v.hen the capitalization of trusis should
be cut down to J300,000, except in cases
of great railroad corporations and In
surance companies.
Mr. Dwinnell then presented hid amend
ment which struck out all that part of
the bill published in The Globe a few
days 3^o, except the title and inserted
the following:
SUBSTITUTE BILL.
Section 1. That when any corporation
heretofore or hereafter created, organized
or existing under the laws of this state,
whether general or- special, has united or
vnites in any manner with any other cor
poration wheresoever created, or with any
Individual, whereby such corporation Bur
renders or transfers by sale or otherwise
in whole or in part it? franchise rights or
priviles>?s or the control or management
of its bUE-inees to any other corporation
or individual, or whereby the business or
the management or control of the busi
ness of such corporation is limited,
changed or in any manner affected, and
the purpose or effect of such union cr
combination Is to limit, control or destroy
competition in the manufacture or sale
of any article or commodity, or is to limit
or control the production of any article
or commodity, or is to control or fix the
price or market value of any article cr
commodity, or the price or market value
of the material entering into the produc
tion of -any article or commodity, or in
case the purpose or effect of such union
or combination in to control or monopolize
in any manner the trade or commerce, or
any part thereof, of this state, or of the
several states, then and in such case

corporation, except as to the final dis
position of Its property under the law,
Ehall be forfeited, and It shall be unlawful

in business either as a corporation or as
a part of any combination, trust or mono

Sec. 2. That before any corporation or
ganized under the laws of any state, ter

cate duly certified by the oath of the pres
ident, secretary and resident manager or
agent of the corporation, stating that the
business of such corporation is not in any
manner under the control of any corpor
ation or individual other than the officers
and stockholders of the corporation filing
such certificate, and that it Is not con
nected in any manner with any trust,
combination or other corporation or in

fiom locating In this state for any pur
pose whatever. If, In violation of the
provision of this section, any such cor
poration or organization locates 1n this
state, it shall be denied the right to en
force in the courts of the state any con
tract whatsoever, or to recover upon the
same.
Sec. 4. If, in an action brought against
a corporation for the forfeiture of its
chaFter, as herein authorized and pro
vided, or if in an action brought by or
for the benefit of any corporation to en
forcu or recover upon any contract, ex
press or implied, it shall appear that
such corporation has united In any man
ner or for any purpose whatsoever with
any other corporation or individual, or
controls in any manner the property or
business of any other corporation or in

in any manenr liable for the costs or for
any of the expenses of such proceedings.
And provided, further, that when the
attorney general deems it necessary he
may and he is hereby authorized, to
employ counsel to assist in the prosecu-
SnVfYhJTa'cT br ° Ught Under the *"■
Sec. 6. This act shall take effect and
bo In force from and after the date of
its passage.
Mr. Jacobson agreed with Mr. Dwinnell
that the bill which the senate passed
was no good. It had no enforcement
clause and was nothing more or less than
a declaration of principles. He wanted
no legislation which was but an empty
law and would allow the trusts to es
cape.
Mr. Fosnes objected to the passage of
the bill until it was printed and could be
read and considered by the members. It
was not like the printed bill and should
be laid over. The bill was ordered
printed and the special order continued
to this morning at 10:30 o'clock.
OIL INSPECTORS' FEES. - j

79 S to I? 6 h ° USe yesterda y fe y * vote of
There was more discussion than on
Thursday when the bill was on general
?h wn I he Re P ubllcan s insisting that
the bill should be passed owing to Gov
i^lnd having so recommended The at
tention of those who made this claim
was called to the fact that the governor
had recommended that the official be
placed on a salary, and the fees turn
ed into the state treasury, and also to
make the same change in the office of
surveyor of logs and clerk of the supreme
court.
This point, however, had no effect on
the position assumed by the Republican
leaders.
Mr. Hennessey said it would if passed
only reduce the fees to be paid by the
Standard Oil company, and would not
benefit the state.
Mr Foss (Rep.), of Grant, favored the
bill for the reason that the inspector
made five times as much as he ought to
Mr. Stivers (Dem.), of Crow Wing, said
there would be no reduction In the price
of oil by the passage of the bill it
did not benefit the state, and simply
saved the oil company. He did not be
lieve there had been any lobby on the
floor trying to preventthe passage of
the bill. As he understood lobbying
he did not believe the Standard Oil com
pany would lobby against the measure
Mr. Grondahl (Rep.), of Goodhue, offer
ed an amendment which provided that
the reduction should not take effect un
til Jan. i, 1901. Mr. Fosnes (Union) of
Chippewa objected, and the amendment
was withdrawn. ;
Speaking of the bill Mr. Grondahl said
a. few days ago the member from Da
kota had stated when an attempt was
made to raise the salary of the dairy com
missioner that he did not favor and
would oppose the raising or reducing of
salaries of officials who had been elect
ed or appointed during the term. The
bill had been discussed as a political ques
tion. The Republicans had held the of
fice for years, and there had been no
reduction of fees. Now when the Dem
ocratic governor recommended this ac
tion the Republicans at once got new
light. The legislature was Republican
and would have to stand for all the laws
passed. At the first opportunity the Re
publican legislature was to adopt the
recommendation of the Democratic gov
ernor. 6
Mr. Riley (Rep.), of Jackson, took the
ground that the Standard Oil company
might, if it had to pay less inspection
fees, reduce the price of oil. He also
gave figures to show that the oil trust
figured on 4 per cent per month on its
entire capital stock. The only reason
advanced why the law should not be
passed was that there was a hope that
there would be a change, and the Re
publicans would again get the office. He
did not want any more corruption, and
as the present administration asked to
have the fees, reduced he should vote
for the bill.
TOO MUCH NOW.
Mr. Dwinnell (Rep.), of Hennepin, read
figures to show that the office paid the
inspector about $13,000 per year net This
was too much for the services of a man
of the ability possessed by the oil in
spectors. He did not think there was
anything in the talk of the member from
Goodhue that it would make capital for
the Democratic party to pass the bill.
Mr. Stivers took the ground that the
price of production did not effect the
price of oil sold by the Standard com
pany. The figures presented by the mem
ber from Jackson proved this for they
showed that the company paid 4 per cent
per month on its entire capitalization
There were but two interests Involved
As between the oil Inspector and the
trust he would vote for the Inspector
If the bill allowed the fees to be paid
into the state treasury then he would
vote for it.
Mr. Yon Lehe (Rep.), of Le Sueur, said
according to the argument of the mem
ber from Crow Wing the legislature
should pass a bill to double the fees a a
such a measure would take twice' as
much money from the trust.
Mr. Martin (Pop.), of Polk, called at
tention to the fact that the governor
had recommended the placing of the
clerk of the supreme court on a salary
? U \^* J ? ep " bllcans had made no step
in this direction.
Mr. Abbott said the entire inspection
law was a humbug. He had introduced a
bill in 1893 which made It a criminal I of*
fense to cell oil below less than a certain
standard. This would have wiped out
killed 6 lns P ectlon - but the bill was
Mr Fosnes inquired If the member from
Faribault Intended to move for a recon
sideration at this time of the vote by
which his 1893 bill was lost.
Mr. Winston (Dem.), of Hennepin. in
quired if some of the Republican lead
|erß could tell how much went into the
campaign funds from the office.
Mr. Jacobaon said be could not say v
to that. He could say that In the last
campaign It was pretty hard to say which
campaign fund the money did go to. HV
knew the Republicans did not get any
last fall.
To this Mr. Winston said that It was
the first time that th.c Democrats had
met on an even keel.
On the roll call those voting against
Its passage were Messrs. Daggett, Gron
daltf, Hennessey, Hojjn, Jeub. Maliette,
Mallpry, Martin, Mor4n, Morris, Nelson.
W., O'Connor, Stivers, Thauwald, Umland
and Yon Dor Weyer.
Mr. Hennessey *sked, in order to al
low all the Republican members to vote
on the bill, that tKe flames of the absen
tees be called, but thespeaker paid no at
tention to the request,
The house passed the bill of Senator
Ives (Dem,), Ramsey,"' to give the C. B.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
House Hesitates About Accepting
Omnibus BUI Amendments.
The house worked until 7 o'clock last
evening and then took an adjournment
to 9:30 o'clock this' morning. The calen
dar of thirteen bills was disposed of at
the afetrnoon session, twelve of the
measures passing. On general orders
which contained eixty-three blils, six
were advanced to the calendar and four
Indefinitely postponed.
The house is well up with its own
work, but the indications are that there
will be a miniature avalanche of senate
bills sent in today and Monday.
The omnibus appropriation bill was re
turned to the house from the senate yes
terday morning with additional appro
priations amounting to $67,000 added to
the figures as passed by the house.
Mr. Jacobson (Rep.), of Lac gui Parle,
insisted that the house not concur, and
Mr. Yale (Rep.), of Wlnona, moved as a
substitute that the bill with the senate
amendments be passed.
In support of his motion Mr. Yale said
It had been truthfully stated by the mem
ber from Dakota on Thursday that legis
lation was after all a matter of com
promise and on this ground he favored
the amendments being concurred in. Mr.
Yale favored the setting apart of $IG,OOO
for the next two years for continuous
session at the Winona normal school, and
as the senate had put in the ame-jfrnont
which the house had refused the member
from Winona was ready to pass the bill
at once.
Mr. Jacobaon could not understand why
the bill should carry $5,000, for this year
for the Winona normal school and made
this a point as to there should be a
conference or. the bm.
Mr. Yale said the amendment was a
clerical error, but the^ other members ap
peared anxious to have a conference com
mittee, and Messrs. : Jacobson, Yale, and
Wallace were appointed by the speaker in
that capacity.
The committee 1 on conference will meet
this morning at 9 o'clock.
JOBBERS BILL PASSES.
Regulating the Sa^e of Merchandise
Stock Sola i,, the Bulk.
The bill in which the jobbers' union of
this city has been* particularly interested
during the session passed the house yes
terday with but three votes to spare. It
makes all sales of all merchandise stocks
sold In bulk fraudulent and void unless
an inventory is .'taken by the purchaser
and the creditors of the seller noti
fied by registered mail five days before
the sale as to the purchase and the price.
Mr. Jackson (RepO, of Ramsey, spoke
for the bill, claiming that it would in
jure no honest dealer and would be a
protection against the men who made
a business of securing credit and then
selling the stock cheap and deirauding
their creditors.
\> Mr " v Umland <E'em.), of Ramsey,
thought the bill was along the same line
as the Grindeland commission bill, ex
cept in that it was the farmers who were
demanding protection. The measure
would hurt no honest business man and
would prevent fraud by the dishonest
ones.
Mr. Roberts (Rep.), of Hennepin, Mr
Cullum (Rep.), of Kittson, and Mr. Fer
ris spoke in favor of the measure. After
a call of the house and a roll call the
bill was passed by a vote of 63 to 34
Those voting against the bill -were:
Messrs. Bean, Benolkon, Brusletten
Kush, Cumming, Daggett, Dealy, Don

ASYLUM BILL PASSED
SENATE APPROVED THE AMENDED
ANOKA-HASTINGS MEASURE
BY GOOD MAJORITY
DETENTION HOSPITALS, TOO
Appropriation of f3,000 I« Mode for
the Care of the Alleged Insane
of the Three Chief Cities In Lo
cal Hospitals First Night Ses
sion Held to Clear Up Accumulat
ed Work.
No threatening opposition encountered
the amended Barker insane asylum bill,
Which was remodeled by the house to
comply with some of the suggestions
made in Gov. Llnd's message, and it was
passed yesterday, along with a bill to
provide for the detention of the suspected
insane in detention wards In the hospitals
of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.
Beside this, the senate concurred In
several house amendments, including the
state game and fish bill", and cleared up
general orders in pretty good shape, al
though it took a night session, practic
ally the first of the present senate, to
bring about this result.
The amended hospital bill was taken
up by agreement after the noon recess.
Senator Schaller said the bill, in his opin
ion, could not reasonably be objected to
on economic or humanitarian grounds.
The hospital Idea was abandoned, and
the new asylums would not have expen
sive medical staffs.
Senator Somerville (Rep.), of Brown,
wanted the bill amended so that the new
asylum would be filled with chronic
cases, by prohibiting the board of trus
tees from committing others.
Senator Schaller suggested that the
senator might as well get a branding
iron and brand on the brow of every in
mate the word chronic.
Senator Barker moved that the senate
concur in the house amendments.
This caused a parliamentary tangle,
which consumed nearly half an hour.
Senator Barker said the bill ought to
pass. It had been amended with a great
deal of care.
Senator Lord (Rep.), of Dodge, said he
did not believe the governor would sign
the bill In its present form. It was prac
tically the same as the vetoed bill, but it
was a double dose.
Senator Schaller said the bill, he be
lieved, would find favor where the other
had come to wreck. The change of the
designation from hospital to asylum
would, he thought, answer the same pur
pose as the amendment offered by the
senator from Brown.
After half an hour on a call of the sen
ate the Somerville amendment was voted
down— 3s to 24.
Senator Knatvold (Rep.), of Preeborn,
offered an amendment to confine the in
mates of these asylums to those who
had been under treatment in the present
hospitals for not less than three years.
This was lost— 37 to 15.
The bill as it came from the house was
then passed— 39 to 18.
S. F. 470, the Thompson bill, for the cot
tage or colony plan, was again laid on the
table on motion of the author.
RULED M' GO WAN OUT.
Senator J. D. Jones (Rep.), of Todd,
moved that the senate take up general
orders. It was so ordered, although Sen
ator McGowan raised the point that it
required a two-thirds vote to abandon
the regular order.
Senator Jones said no one had voted
no and the general orders were then tak
en up.
WHEATON BILLS KILLED.
The Wheaion malicious mischief bill,
which provided heavy penalties for rid
ing another's bicycle or injuring it fn
any way, was indefinitely postponed on
motion of Senator Horton. His five
sixths jury bill went the same way.
STOCKWELL GAVE IT UP.
Senator Stockwell moved to indefinitely
postpone his bill, S. F. 421, to so amend
the constitution of the state of Minnesota
to enable the voters of any county, city,
village or township, by majority vote, to
reduce taxes upon Improved lands, and
increase taxes on lands held idle by ex
empting improvements.
He said it was too late to pass it now,
but hoped to get a better hearing for his
bill two years hence.
BLACKLIST BILL LOST.
The ITeimerdinger an ti -blacklist bill
was indefiniteyl postponed on motion of
Senator Ryder, who said he thought it
impracticable as drawn.
ANTI-BOYCOTT BILL FIXED UP.
Senator Baldwin offered an amendment
to the anti-boycott bill an that it would
only prohibit the enforcement of a boy
cott by espionage pickets, circulars, or
advertisement, so as not to prohibit the
determimition of one or two people, or
more, on their own part not to patronize
a certain firm or firms.
Senator Ryder said the Duluth boy
cotters had disgraced themselves and the
cause of organized labor by their meth
ods. „
Senators Daujrherty and McGowan pre
pared an amendment making the penalty
from $10 to $5C fines, and commensurate
terms of imprisonment.
Senator Stockwell moved that the bill
be indefinitely postponed.
Senator Daugherty said the bill was a
compromise between both sides, and he
was willing to fight it through. Senator
Stockwell's motion was lost and the bill
recommended to pass.
DETENTION HOSPITALS TOO.
The bill of Mr. Stockwell (Dem), Hen
nepin, providing for detention wards for
the alleged insane in the hospitals of St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth was passed
with an amendment appropriating $3,000
for the expenses of the same.
MARKING OF CONVICT PRODUCTS.
Senators McGowan and Ives spoke in
behalf of the former's bill to reciuire the
marking of convict-mado goods and
wares. Senator Ives said it was neces
sary for the protection of free labor.
Senator Ryder said he did not believe
in legislating for the offenders against
the government, as against those who
had net violated its laws.
Senator Knatvold said that other stale
prisons threw their product on the mar
ket without marking, and if passed the
bill would destroy the sale of the pro
ducts of the state prison. The bill was
recommended for Indefinite postpone
ment.

SUGAR BOUNTY FAILS.
The first bill on general orders, after
the recess for supper was the Roberts'

against what he said was a very im
pudent measure, the senate having al
ready gone on record on the subject once
this session. He read from some deci
sions of the higher courts to show that
the bounty principle was against public
policy. Progress was reported on the bill,,
but this was afterwards reconsidered, and
it was placed at the head of the calendar
for immediate action.
