Farcical scheme in Congress to investigate trusts
Washington March 13 The Republican majority in Congress plans a farcical trust investigation led by Rep Ray of the Judiciary Committee. The move aims to thwart real reform by limiting the panel to Judiciary members and avoiding a serious inquiry into the oppressive trust evils. The plan may extend beyond this session and into the presidential campaign, with uncertainty over when the committee will begin its work. Rep Ball of Texas proposes a separate trust regulation measure, but as a Democrat his plan is dismissed as impertinent. Livington of Georgia seeks to join the investigation through the Industrial Commission, but is not a Judiciary member. The proposal to confine the special committee to the Judiciary panel is criticized as peculiar and indicative of a political joke.
