FIGHT THE TRUSTS
Attorney General M'Reynold'Submits
Annual Report in Which Dissolu-
tion of Combines is Feature.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. Trust dls
solutions which shall be real dissolu
tions, removing the same' set of men
from control of separate parts into
which a trust is dissolved. Is the aim
of the new administration, Attorney
General McReynolds announced today
In his annual report.
"My fixed purpose Is to oppose any
plan of dissolution which would leave
the separate parts of the unlawful
combination under the control of the
same set of men," he declared.
That the department of ustice will
follow this plan, adopted in dissolv
ing the Union and Southern Pacific
railroads, was asserted.
"In actual practice the plan Is
working successfully," he said. "The
plan effectually prevented the Union
Pacific Co. or Its stockholder, who
were parties to (he combination, from
continuing In control of the Southern
Pacific."
"Alleged violations of this law (the
Sherman anti-trust statute) are be
ing constantly reported and an or-
ganlzatlon Is being perfected through
which substantial complaints may be
properly investigated and violations
vigorously and 'speedily dealt with,"
was the attorney general s "trust bust
Ing" promise. He said district attor
neys will be freely used in the antl
trust work. He did not advocate any
specific legislation by congress to sup
plement the Sherman law, but said an
average of SS complaints a month of
Its alleged violation had been recelv
ed.
That there are now pending 49 an
tl-trust prosecutions was recited In the
report. During the new Democratic
administration eight new cases hava
been instituted.
Suppression of "white slave" traf
flc was pointed, to proudly by the at
torney general. .- '
"Since the passage of the whit
slave act," he said, "to September,
1912 (about three years) there have
been nix hundred and thirty three con
victions, more than one half during
the last twelve months of that period
There have been but ninety three ac
auittals and there were pending in
October, 177 cases of defendants un
der Indictment.
"Enforcement of the act has been
vigorously carried on under the su
pervlslon of the special commissioner.
and also a corps of local white slave
officers who are stationed at most of
the principal cities." .
McReynolds said $75,000 of $'475,
000 given the department for "detec
tion and prosecution" of crimes has
been set aside exclusively for the
"white slave" squad.
