Trust problem solution urged for price regulation
William H. Page proposes voluntary government price regulation as a remedy for trust issues after hearing Clarence Gary testify before the Stanley House Committee on United States Steel. He argues Congress could designate a tribunal to allow corporations to accept price controls while continuing Sherman Act enforcement, avoiding nationwide reorganization. He notes a regulated return on capital would benefit many stockholders and that investor confidence is tied to stable prices and open market access.
