Abolishes Promoters Fee for Merg

; ' i , -
WASHINGTON, Jan. C Tho first
and most sweeping of the wjrles of
bills prepared by tho national execu
tive committee, o .the progressive
party as embodying the doctrine of
its faith. Is a trjeasurn introdnccd to
day bjr Senator Brlstow for regula
tion of "big business" by an Indus
trial commission of seven members.
This industrial commission would
be empowered to deal drastically
with large corporations doing any In-tcr-state
busineWb as Is tho inter-stnte
commerce commission with railroads
and other transportation service.
ItcKtilnte All Trunin
It would have authority over all
persons or corporations doing nn Inter-state
or foreign business of S5,
000,000 annually to Investigate their
financial condition, buslncsa opera
tions and management, and requlro
all to bring their capital stock and
indebtedness down to not more than
10 per cent of the "fair and reason
able vahia of property on hand.. im.
Three years are allowed as the
limit In which the water shall be
squeezed out of American Industries.
Promoters looting of Industry
through promotion fees lu merging
small corporations Is to bo abolished,
according to the Ilrlstow bill, by a
schedule of fees for this service, rang
ing from one per cent on capitaliza
tions of over $50,000,000 to five per
cent on capitalizations below 5,000,

were described today by Senator Brls
tow as follews:
Alt Trusts Uiii-ensonulile
Section 15 declares that any con
tract, combination In the form of a
trust or otherwise, or a conspiracy
In restraint of trade shall be pre
sumed to bo unreasonable This U
Intended to remedy as nearly aa pos
sible the ovll which grows out of tho
decisions or tho supreme court In the
tobacco and Standard Oil cases, In
which the word "reasonable" was
legislated by tho court Into tho Sher
man anti-trust law.
New features lu this bill are pro
posals that the government take over
the operation of Industries whero tlm
oecutlve heads are bolng prosecuted
and the plun of having members of
the commission removable by cou
greM. PAUON MUST

anti-trust net, the supreme court of
thu United Stales Unlay he!.1. Jiimes
A. Patten, thu Chicago grain mid
cotton speculator ami his associates
for trial in the United States distriut
court of Now York. It is chained
that the Patten crowd "cornered" tho
cotton market in 1010.
Patten nnd others pleaded Hint
cornering the market cannot bo con
sidered a violation of the Sliernum
net. In its decision today the su
premo couvt denied this, fiaying:
''It bus been shown that there
was a conspiracy to corner the mar
ket, nnd this is n subject of inter

fective there could be no Irudiiij, id

spirator elected. The Sherman law
does embrace Uio offense charged."
