Wickersham Advocate U. 8. Control of
industries.
Attorney General Wickersham, in a
speech before the Minnesota State
Bar association in Duluth, took an
advanced stand on the further fed- | J
eral regulation of corporations, and
declared that a government commis-
gion to regulate great industrial or-
ganizations, in the same way that the
interstate commerce commission reg-
ulates railways, was not only most de-
sirable, but might be absolutely ne-
cessary.
Mr. Wickersham's speech was little
short of sensational in many of its
features. He declared that it was a
matter of serious consideration wheth-
er it would be practical to give to the
proposed interstate corporation com-
mission the power to fix prices. To do
this in theory would simply require
an extension of the principle by which
the interstate commerce commission
controls the rates on railroads. !

staple industries have been fixed by
an agreement between the principal
producers, and not by a normal play of
free competition.

ney general added, would prevent vio-

business men to maintain a continued

status of harmony with the require-!
ments of the law. |
Many of Mr. Wickersham’s declara-'
tions were the most radical he has
made since his entrance into official
life. With the weight of an administra.
tion officer behind them, his remarks
made a deep impression. There was
nothing in the speech to indicate how
far the attorney general reflected the
views of President Taft. On several
occasions in the past, however, he has
been regarded as a spokesman for the
administration.
The attorney general discussed the
general question of what further reg-
ulation of interstate commerce is ne-
ceszary or desirable, from a broad
point of view, and said he had not at-
tempted to express a conclusion, but
merely to state the elements of a
great problem which goes to the root
of the prosperity of the American peo-
| ple.
“That some further regulation over
corporations carrying on
among the states may be necessary,”
he sald, “is coming to be a matter of
current comment.
advocated quite recently by represen-
tatives of some of the largest combi-
nations of capital, probably as a means
of salvation, and to preserve under
government supervision great organi-
zations where continued existence is
menaced by the recent interpretation |
of the Sherman act, the disintegration
of which would be necessarily attend-
ed with much loss. To such, it is a
case of ‘any port in a saipwreck.
Hetter continued co-operative life, even
under a powerful master, than dis-
seminated properties and segregated
without constant govern-
mental supervision.”
Mr. Wickersham implied that a fed-
eral incorporation act, while it might
offer some difficulties, would help te’
lay the axe at the root of trust evils
Of this he said:
“If congress should enact that no
corporation engaged in interstate com- :
merce shall hereafter acquire any
stock of any other corporation so en-
gaged, and that unless all such cor-
porations should dispose of all stocks
held by them in other corporations en- |
gaged in interstate commerce within
some specified period, they should be ;
. prohibited from carrying on interstate |
commerce until they did so dispose of |
such stocks, the axe would indeed be |
laid at the root of the trust evil.”
Exceptions should be made from :
the prohibition as might be necessary |
to the protection of innocent holders |
