Opposition grows to new trust bills in Congress
Washington February 17 opposition stiffens in both houses to proposed administration anti trust measures meant to bolster the Sherman law. Critics argue the Sherman law is sufficient to curb monopolies and warn that new federal controls on railroad securities and incorporation could create medieval confusion and weaken enforcement. Senator Newlands notes formal introductions are lacking and urges careful action. Albert T. Harris endorses federal incorporation for railroads, while Charles Van Hise urges excluding further definitions of unlawful restraints and favoring cooperative regulation.
