Wilson lens holds on monopoly rule in trust plan
President Wilson voiced a nuanced view of trust legislation against holding companies today saying measures would not bar activities that are not in nature and spirit a monopoly. He noted sweeping prohibitions would affect firms forced to form subsidiaries to meet state laws but would exclude cases where the same corporation carries on the business. The guiding rule, he said, is that mergers and affiliations aimed at monopoly or restraint of trade would be barred.
