Wickersham backs further regulation of interstate commerce
Attorney General Wickersham spoke before the Minnesota State Bar Association at Taplett advocating a federal commission to regulate large industrial organizations similar to the Interstate Commerce Commission. He argued prices have been set by producers, not free competition, and that such a body could curb antitrust violations and foster long term harmony with law. He warned that whether the federal body should regulate prices is a matter for serious consideration as he outlined broad implications for prosperity and government supervision of major combinations.
