4 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.
