EST1NG THE LAW
REGARDING TRUSTS
IN IHH SPKKC'H before the Pittsburg
chamber of commerce Inst Tuesday
on trusts iitnl their volution to In
terstate commerce, Attorney Uenornt
Knox made thi following frnnk state
ment of wlmt tlio udmlnlptrntlmi hus
already done to enforce the existing
tans against trusts!
In tin early mrl of this year, It citine
to the knowledge of the president Hint
crent rnllroiiil systems In the Middle
'West, upon which every section of the
country Is dcpeiUlent for the movement
of breadstuff, luiil entered Into unhiwrul
agreements to transport I he shipments of
n fev Invored grain buyers at rates inueli
Mow the tarllf elmrses Impn-ed upon
'mailer dealers and the general public.
This hiliiHtlce prevailed to such an exlnl
nnd for so loins a time that mint of the
smaller shippers had lieen driven from
the. Held, and the business formerly en
joyed by them nhsorhed by a limited
number of persons, who received secret
nnd preferential rate". Tn a word, there
wa.i practically only one buyer on (Men
ratlwii.' system, and the illegal iidviii't
fiRes lie secured from the carrier gave
1dm a monopoly of the Rraln trade on the
1'ne with which his secret eomiMct was
nuidi.
In the onrllnr period of thl discriminat
ing prnctlre It Is probably true that tho
producer obtained a price for his groin
Mlgljlly In excess of Its market value at
the place of shipment: but that result fol
lowed only durliiR the short time that the
non-(aored dealer eontlntied In business.
When be was foieed to the wall, as 'i
soon was. the only buyer whom th pir
rlti.vr could reach was the parly who hnl
hargolnctl with the carrier for an unlaw
ful rale. Thus competition In the Rraln
business was destroyed and I be prlee ac
tually ' realized by the fanner was fre
quently p- than the proper market
value. A favored middleman, by conni
vance with the railroad, monopolized tho
Brain products of a law urea of coun
try, and virtually fixed the pi-Ice both to
the producer and the consumer. It was
an odious condition. Nor does this de
scribe the full incisure of wrongdoing. It
reached the centers of trade and affueted
related Industries with more or less dis
aster. In Kansas city, for example. It
was a-scrleil that local dealers had been
excluded from participation in the Rraln
trade- that their elevators for the stor
hro and trans-shipment of Rraln. built at
swat expense for the demands of an Im
portant market, had been deprived uf
business: and Hint law numbers of
laborers had lost employment and re
mained III Idleness, solely Tieeuuse of the
diversion of business from Its natural
channels as the result of this forbidden
monopoly In the purchase and transpor
tation of grain. The board of trade of
that ulty presented a complaint to the
Interstate I'onimeren commission, anil
that body conducted an Investigation,
which disclosed, with convlnclnR particu
larity and detail, the rnefs all dy sum
marized. That they are I rue in substance
anil ;fCc.'t Is not seriously disputed In any
quarter. This commission also, about the
same time, held another Investigation,
and reported to the department ot" justice
that the six largest meat-parking con
cerns, popularly known as lhe'"Hcef
Triist," were in a combination with each
other and with many Rreat railway lines,
where.by they secured law secret con
cessions hi rates for the transportation
of' tluiir proiluots, which enabled I hem to
pfautically monopolize the fresh and
cured' meat Industry of the fulled States.
Uncle' Sam Acts.
ActhiR upon this Information, which
illeclosoil definite and provable facts, bills
for Injunctions were linniedhttelj tiled
aRalnst the principal railroads Implicated,
to rc train them from Riving preference
to any shipper In the rates or facilities
of transportation. In March last, there
wore Instituted by the Roveriimenl, in the
Vnlted States circuit court at ('IiIciiro,
six suits in' equity aRainst offending rail
road companies: and, stinliillaueoiisly,
elRht additional salts were begun aRalnst
other railroads at Kan-us City. In each
Instance, temporary injunctions weie
granted, which are still In force, restrain
ing the defendant railroads from paying
any rebates or granting any preferences
whatever to any shipper, so that all per
sons should stand on an evefi footing In
respect of jransportatlon over- the en
joined roads.
It was not practicable, of coure. nor
desirable, to bring Injunction suits
against all the railroads In the fnlted
.States, but it was believed In thus pro
ceeding against fourteen of tho most In
fluential lines, and having the interlocu
tory decree of two very eminent federal
judfics to the effect that the facts alleged
in tho bills entitled the government to the
powerful remedy of Injunction, that the
other carriers would thereafter conform
to the law and nbslalti from Illegal prac
I Ices, I low alutary and wholesome the.
effect has been, ask any ralr-rnlnded rail
way manager, who la now enabled to ad
just his business Ireed from the stress of
competition with lawbreakers, or any
honest shipper upon the defendant roads.
It Is believed that, with rew exceptions,
luce the Issuing of these Injunctions,
the open tariffs have hern applied and
uniform rates charged to large and sriinll
shippers alike. The small Rraln buyers
lit the Wcd have resumed operations, the
elevators that were closed ore doing a
protUnble business, and the workmen are
again employed.
In a few cases the department has been
Infromed that certain railway olllclaU
who were not enjoined have taken ad
vantage of the restraint placed upon their
competitors, and been led by cupidity to
seek unlawful earnings by awarding
cret rates to Increase their business at
the expense of roads under Injunction.
Several of these otllelals have been In
dicted already, and mole will be If evi
dence of their misconduct can be pro
cured. And In this connection, I take oc
casion to say that the effort of the com
mission to stop rate-cutting and all simi
lar offenses will be constantly aided by
the department uT justice anil every otll
elul under Its direction. This nefarious,
business Is to be stopped If It li In the
power of the administration to stop It.
Southern Roads Disciplined.
Another direction In which kindred ef
fort has been made to enforce the law
and prevent the abuse of monopoly de
serves a word of comment. The cotton
Interests of the South, growers, laiyers
nnd shippers, complained of the hard
ship and injury suffered by them from
the methods of the railroads In that sec
tion In handling and transporting the col
ton output. Thee carriers, by combined
acljon. denied the right of routing to the
shippers that is to s.iy, the right of the
shipper to prescribe over what route his
goods should pas-, and by agreement
with each other determined the lines
which should move this Important pro
duct and the percentage of total ship
ments which each Hue should transport.
In other wonts, there was a pooling ar
rangement between the railroads ill re
spect of this tralllc. In distinct violation
of the federal statute.
As ill- rc-ull of infill matloti. secured
with much dllllculty. inspecting this for
bidden practice, a number of Indictments
weie obtained against the olfendlng roads
and their principal tralllc otllcers. At
lirst the Indicted curriers showed an In
tention to iMiultiiue ilieir unlawful com
bination, and steps were taken by Hie
department Wi Institute similar prosecu
tions against Hie same and other carrier-
for like misconduct at other points
in tin cotton section. Since that time,
however, the roads have leceded from
their position. They now accord to ship
pers the right to route their Iratlic. and
avow their parpcue sti Icily to observe the
law.
After Beef Trust.
The remarksiblc advance In the price of
meats, coupled with the disclosures
elicited by the commission respecting se
cret rebates enjoyed by the great packing
house-, and other inl'ormalluii obtained
by the department of Justice, induced it
to direct an investigation Into the
methods of the so-called "Heef Trust." as
a result of which bills were tiled under
the Sherman anil-trust law and injunc
tions issued restraining each of the six
defendant concerns from combining, or
agreeing upon the pi Ices at which they
would sell their product in -tates other
than those where It Is prepared for mar
ket, and likewise restraining them from
combining and agreeing upon cartage
charges for delivering their shipments at
destination.
fnder the rules of the federal courts,
after the writs of Injunction were issued,
the defendants had until midsummer to
answer or demur to the government's hill
of complaint. They cho-e lo demur lo
the bill, which raises the question
whether the facts stated, and undei
the Constitution and existing laws, tiny
are amenable to the control of Hie fed
era I go eminent.
The Hill-Morgan Merger.
The Northern Pacillc and clival North
ern railroads, having their eastern ter
mini lit the head of Lake Superior, and
extending westwardly via -Minneapolis
and St. Paul to Hie Pacillc Ocean, occa
sionally Intersecting and again separat
ing, and generally no farther distant
from each other than 100 miles, and being
in 1W)I practically the only competitor In
the transportation of traffic to and from
imi.t of the states traversed by them,
combined together and purchased the
capital stock of the Chicago, Uurllngton
and tjulncy railroad system. Thus thost
two Irann-contlnptitnl llneH became the
joint owners of another great system,
which was gradually pushing lis rails
northwesterly In I o the. territory occupied
by the purchasers, and wetwnrdly to the
I'at'lllcj ocean.
To effect this purchase, the Northern
Pacific and tlreal Northern companies Is
sued Joint bonds for JiW.nuo.ooo. Shortly
after tho purchase of the IturtltiRlou road
the principal owners of the Northern
Pacillc and (treat Northern roads caused
to be orRiinlzrd, under the laws of New
Jersey, Ihe Northern Securities company,
with a nominal capital of Ilifl.OOO.ouo, of
which pi.ono was paid In, That company
was orRimlzed to become the owner of
the capital stock of the Northern Pacillc
and Clreat Northern railroad companle,
iilid this was accomplished by an ex
change of the slock of the New Jersey
corporation for the slock of the two rail
road companies al slicJi price that, If the
Securities company got all of the slock
of both loads, Us entile JIOU.OOU.OUO f
capital would be absorbed In tile ex
change. At the time of the purchase of the Hnr
Illusion road, the capital stock of tho
three railroad systems win about f:!:K),l)i).

combined iralllc carried by those roads
nilRlit, after paying expenses or opera
tion, reasonably he expected lo provide
dividends. Hy the bond Issue lo secure
the Uurllngton and the Inflation of the
"Securities" capital, that same truffle Is
now expected to provide dividends upon
more than two bundled millions of tock
In addition to Ihe original $:ino.00.ono.
When the department came Into pos
session of lliese facts, a suit In equity
was at once begun lo restrain the opera
tion of the proposed merger and to re
store Ihe Independeii if these trans
continental railroads as competing Hues,
which suit U now pending.
The Ground Well Covered.
Here, then, are four phases of the at
tack on combinations In restraint of
trade and commerce the railroad Injunc
tion suits, the cotton pool cases, the
"beef trust" cases, and the Northern Se
curities case. The first relates to the
monopoly produced by secret and prefer
ential rates for railroad traiivportatlon:
the second to railroad truffle pooling: the
third to a combination of independent
corporations to llx and maintain extor
tionate prices for meals: and the fourth
