SCHEME ID MAKE
TRUSTS PROVE
INNOCENCE
Stanley Committee Has Plan to
Force Accused Combines to
Pay for Prosecution.
WASHINGTON, .Tti'.y 24 A majority I
of the Democrat? of the Stanley steel ]
Investigating committee have decided]
to recommend legislation placing the
burden of proof on a corporation to
show that its operations are legal. Mar
tin W. Littleton. Democrat, insists,
however, that a corporation is entitled
to all the privilege.* •>( an Individual
under the constitution, and that it li>
the duty of the government to prove
the guilt of an accused corporation. Mi. !
Littleton applies the principle that a |
person is presumed to be innocent tin
til he shall be proven guilty
This issue is probabh tin- most bn
portant raised before th. Slanlex com
mittee.
Proposed Sherman Lae/ Amendments
Mr. Stanley has reduced bls rented) i
to writing In the following proposed ]
amendments to the Sherman anti-trust
law :
"That whenever in any suit or pro
eeedlng. civil or criminal, brought un
der or Involving the provisions of this
act it shall appear that any contract
combination in the form of trust or
otherwise, or conspiracy whs entered
into, existed or exists, which was or
is in any respect or to any extent in
restraint of trade or commerce among
the several states or with foreign na
tions. the burden of proof to establish
the reasonableness of such restraint
shall be upon the party who contends
that said restraint of trade is reason
able
"That whenever in any suit or pro
ceeding. civil or criminal, brought un
der or Involving the provisions of this
act it shall appear that any contract
combination in the form of trust or
otherwise, or conspiracy was entered
into, existed or exists which was or is
in any respect or to any extent in re-,
straint of trade of commerce among the
several states or with foreign nations,
there shall at once arise a rebuttal pre.
sumption that such restraint was or is
unreasonable.
Contract To Be Evidence.
"That whenever in any suit or pro
ceeding. civil or criminal. brought by
or on behalf of the government under
the provisions of this act, a final judg
ment or decree shall have been ren
dered to the effect that a defendant, In
violation of the provisions of this act.
has entered into a contract combination
in form of trust or otherwise, or con
spiracy in restraint of trade or com
merce among the several states or with
foreign nations, or has monopolized or
attempted to monopolize or combined
with any person or persons to monopo
lize any part of the trade nr commerce
among the several states or with for
eign nations, the existence of such file.
»al contract, combination or conspira
cy in restraint of trade or of such at
tempt or conspiracy to monopolize,
shall to the full extent to which the
facts and Issues of fact or law were
litigated, and to the full extent to which
such fact. Judgment or decree would
constitute in any other proceeding an
estoppel as between the government
and such persons constitute as against
such defendant conclusive evidence of
the same facts and be conclusive as to
the same issues of law in favor of any
other party in any other proceeding
brought under or involving the provi
sions of this act.”
Railroads Must Prove Reasonableness.
Messrs. Stanley, McGillicuddy and
Beall declare they have a precedent in
the last amendment tn the interstate
commerce act. creating the commerce
court and giving the interstate com
merce commission broader powers.
That amendment introduced into the
Federal statutes the principle of plac
ing the burden of proof upon a railroad
to show the reasonableness of its rates
when a shipper made complaint or
when, the interstate commerce commis
sion made its inquiry.
Chairman Stanb y has written into
his report a recommendation for the
Introduction of this -ame principle into
all the anti-trust statutes, with the
purpose of relieving the government of
heavy expenditures in proving its case
Representatlv. Littleton worked all
day today on his recommendations. He
will submit them to the Democratic
members of the committee at their
meeting tomorrow. Mr. Stanley says
the difference between him and Mr.
Littleton can be reconciled.
The Stanley report will be signed
probabh by all fix e Pemo, rat'i mem
here of the committee, but Mr. Little
ton is expected to submit a supple
mental report.
