RIG CORPORATIONS ESSENTIAL Says He Thinks Government Should Take Control to Prevent Their Misusing Great Power of Wealth Suggestions. ' Washington, Nov. 29. Elbert H Gary, executive head of the United States Steel Corporation, made a plea for "big business" today before the Senate Committee on Interstate com merce, which is searching for a solu tion of present trust problems In the United States. "Big corporations are essential to development of the country and the maintenance of business DrosDerlty." he said. "To prevent their misusing the enormous powar that comes ' with wealth and control of industrial agen cies, he thought the government snouid take control of them, through a corporation or a trade commission with absolute power to regulate their affairs.' Add to this a clear law as to what can and what cannot be done, the .strong light of publicity on all the ' affairs of corporations, and the elimination of presidential and other political issues from the business world and the 'unrest' that has spread over the United States, will-largely disappear", says Mr. Gary. "The coming election is already dis turbing business," he added. He said members of the. courts ought to be ap pointed for life; , that the President ought to be ' elected for eight years without the privilege of re-election,, so that he would be . in "a position and frame of mind" where he would not be tempted to "look in any direction or toward any interests" In peeking re-election. . .. , ' s- r Mr.-Gary dwelt at length upon the political sltttatforiVHesaitbhe.had no jjarticular "President Tn mind, hut tKat he believed fewer elections "and less reason for seeking public or private support for political purposes would aid greatly in keeping business at a level. Judge Gary recommended the Fed eral license of corporations, their con trol by a trade commission, the pub licity of all their affairs, and the sanc tion of certain ' acts which the com mission might consider not to be "re straint of trade'.' He declared unrestricted competi tion meant the. ruin of the small indi vidual or concern, and the gradual strengthening of the natural monopo ly of the larger. As opposed to this he urged that the government recog nize the need of partial agreements between corporations and individuals so that an actual competition might be still maintained that would.be fair and free to all interests. "Is there any particular thing now clearly forbidden by the Sherman law that you think- ought to be permit ted?" asked Senator Cummins. Mr. Gary thought not, but he said the business difficulty, lay In deciding before hand what amounted to a "re straint of trade." The famous "Gary dinners" where steel men gathered to discuss their Laffairs, were not to fix prices, hut to disclose their business condition- to each other, he said. "Every gentleman . there, if he was. a gentleman, could go away with a full knowledge of his competitors' af fairs and could shape his business so as. not to ruin his competitor," said Mr. Gary. He added that he had not dared to hold these conferences lately; that there. was no means of knowing ex actly what constituted a violation of the Sherman law. " "Congress should trust the right of the Supreme . Court to interpret and virtually make the laws," said Presi dent John H. Gray, of the University of -Minnesota, who followed Mr." Gary before the Senate committee. . "We have apparently come to a point where the National Legislature Is about to be abolished. The courts are Inter preting the law and the one" who in terprets the law Is actually the one who makes it" y MORSE'S CONDITION. UNCHANGED Mrs. Morse, Sons and His Sister. With - Him. .
