Both the volunteer and the draft features of the bill authorize the President to refuse to accept, either by enlistment or draft, the services of persons needed in the in dustrial pursuits of the country. Secretary Baker's letter, included in the minority report, was written as a final plea from the military branch of the Government in behalf of the Administration bill. He says: "1 have a deep conviction that any compromise of the principles gov erning the bill submitted by the De partment for the raising of a new army would be attended by unfor tunate results," he wrote. "The bill as drawn preserves so much of the volunteer spirit as can be preserved without embarking on the equipment of a mixed system of draft and vol unteering. It makes place for sev eral hundred thousand men above the aKS of 25 who may be moved to volunteer, and by equalizing the terms and condition of service in the regular army, National Guard and additional forces give such volun teers entire equality with all others in the national forces. "The drafting provision starts at the outset a process by which the forces of the country can be called as they shall be needed, according to an equal and just system, and it has these merits: "1. It spreads the burden of mili tary preparation equally throughout the United States. "2. It is certain in its operation, so that after the registration is made every man in the country will know whether he is to be called and when he is to be called upon, allowing those who are not to be called, or whose call is postponed to continue their normal pursuits undisturbed by uncertainty as to their duty and unagitated by neighborhood pres sure or misunderstanding. "3. It starts at the beginning of the accumulation of these new forces, and has none of the char acter of a penalty which attaches to the draft when it used after vol unteering has been tried and failed. "1 have studied every report I can secure of the use of the volun teer system abroad and in our own country, and I believe it to be true that, in every place where It has been tried, whatever success it has had has been due to a system of compulsions more harassing and al most as drastic as the provisions of a law itself. In the countries of Europe where the volunteer system has obtained those responsible for it were excused because they could not have foreseen at the beginning the results, but we have their ex perience to guide us, and T believe that those responsible in this coun try for repeating the costly errors which have been made abroad will not be able to make that explana tion."

TRUST BLAMED FOR HIGH PRICES Standard Oil Company Flay ed by Federal Trade Commission By Associated Press Washington, April 24. Domina tion of the gasoline industry by Standard Oil interests, the Federal Trade Commission reported to the Senate to-day, has been largely re sponsible for high gasoline prices of the last two years. The report written after an ex haustive investigation into tjie entire petroleum industry, declares inter locking stock ownership prevents any real competition among the various Standard Oil companies and the commission recommends legislation to permit reopening of the oil trust case to obtain modifications of the Supreme Court's dissolution decree. No conclusive evidence was found, it is that collusion exists among the standard companies in violation of the decree, but the com mission's findings have been trans mitted to the Attorney General. Prices are declared to have been raised arbitrarily, although natural causes contributed. Pronounced price inequalities were found in different parts of the country. , ld-jaxltYsUini tuun taun tahnlirnu No Competition The principal findings of the com mission are: That in most marketing territories the Standard companies are domi nant. That the Standard companies have maintained a distribution of terri tory in marketing gasoline, and that no substantial competition in the chief petroleum products exists among the Standard companies. That the absence of competition is due to a community of stock owner ship. That the facts disclose advances in prices of gasoline and differences in price, corresponding to Standard marketing territories, which could not be explained except under the conditions charged. Perpetuate Monopoly That the combination of pipe lines with other branches of the industry has tended to establish and perpetu ate monoply. That there is no conclusive evi dence of collusion among the Stand ard companies in violation of the dis solution decree. The commission recommended these measures an necessary to rem edy conditions: A law providing for the reopening of antitrust cases on the application of the Attorney General by a bill of review for the purpose of obtaining such modifications of decrees as are required by new conditions. Legislation to abolish in certain cases common stock ownership in corporations formerly members of combinations dissolved under the Sherman law. Effective limitation of common ' ownership of stock in potentially competitive corporations by with drawing the power of voting and control. Would Fix Standards Legislation, which while recogntz ing common ownership would tlx upon such common owners the re sponsibility for the acts of each of the several subsidiary companies which prevent competition. Segregation of ownership of pipe lines from the other branches of the petroleum industry. Congressional enactment to fix standards for gasoline. Federal collection and publication of accurate statistics and informa tion concerning the Industry. Wholesale gasoline price rose be tween 75 and 85 per cent In 1915, says the report. Retail prices kept close behind them. The part in creased demand and scarcity of the product played In the increase Is shown in figures giving the increase in demand 38 per cent in 1915 and the production seven per cent below the year before. The standard books show large earnings, says the report, as also was evidenced by the en hanced stock market value of Stand ard securities. Captain Frank R.
