New York, Jan . 5.—The Federal
governm ent brought su it today in the
U nited S tates C ircuit court under the
Sherm an a n ti-tru»t law ag ain st th ir­
teen of the principal T rans-A tlantic
carriers, which are estim ated to con­
trol ninety per cent, of the steerage
traffic, worth to them $55,000,000 a
year. Twelve officers of the defendant
companies, all resident in Am erica,
are named as co-defendants.
These companies, the governm ent
charges,entered into an illegal contract
February 5, 1980, a t London, Eng., by
which they constituted
theinsalves
the A tlantic conference, with power to
apportion all traffic pro rata, impose
heavy fines on '.'members of the con­
ference for violation of any article of
agreem ant
and
wage com petition
again st all lines outside the confer­
ence.
A b a result, it is alleged, the Rus­
sian volunteer fleet, plying between
New York and Libau, was driven out
of business and ¡the Russian-Am erican
line was forced to m ake term s w ith
the conference a n f enter its m em ber­
ship.
S u it was brought by Henry A. Wise,
U nited S ta te s d istric t attorney, act­
ing under instructions from Attorney
General W ickersham .
In its petition the governm ent prays
the court to “ enjoin the defendants
from fu rth er agreeing, combining and
conspiring to injure or destroy the bus­
iness of any person or corporation en­
gaged in the business of carrying
steerage passengers between points in
the U nited S ta te s and Europe.
" F u rth e r, th a t each, every and all
the defendant Bteamship lines be for­
bidden e ith e r to en te r or clear any of
th eir vessels a t or from the port of
New York or any other port of entry
in the United S ta te s, or any of its pos­
sessions, so long as they shall continue
to operate under the aforesaid alleged
unlawful combination or conspiracy.”
SEN A TO R ELKINS DEAD.
Prom inent L eader in C o n g ress P a ss­
es A fter Long Illness.
W ashington. Ja n . 5.—Senator Ste­
phen B. E lkins, of W est V irginia, died
at m idnight last night. A t his bedside
were his wife, his daughter K atherine,
and four sonB, David, Richard, Stephen
and Blaine, and the physicians.
D eath was due to septicem ia or blood
poisoning.
He was conscious until
w ithin half hour of death.
In the early evening there were per­
siste n t rum ors in W ashington th at the
S en ato r’s condition had become grave,
and fears w ere expressed th a t he
n ig h t not live through the night. The
Elkins family, however, were hopeful
to the last and to the numerous inquir­
ers who poured in a t the E lkins home
encouraging responses were given.
Though no funeral arrangem ents
have been announced, it is probable
th a t Mr. E lkins will be buried a t El­
kins, W. Vs.
D uring the larger p art of his service
in the senate Mr Elkina was chairm an
of the im portant com m ittee on in te r­
sta te commerce. As head of this com­
m ittee he had charge of the Hepburn
ra te regulation bill of 1907 and of the
adm inistration bill of 1910. A ra il­
road builder and owner him self, Mr.
Elkins had an in tim ate knowledge of
all questions affected by this legisla­
tion.
He was the outspoken champion of
the bill of 1910 and, as such, fought
for its passage night and day for
months. Probably the longest speech
ever delivered by the West V irginia
senator was made in its support.
