LEGALIZE TRUSTS ffILW ffll Minority Report of Steel Prob ers Urges Federal Supervi sion Instead of Dissolution. WASHINGTON, July 29.—Legaliza tion of trusts and plating them under Federal control is advocated by three Republican members of the Stanley gt eel investigating committee of the houf representatives in a minority report to be submitted to congress to jtv The majority report, which is not otnpleted; will not be submitted until lat-’f. The minority report was signed by Representatives Gardner of Massachu setts. Young of Michigan, and Danforth of New York. Representative Young submitted an additional statement, and Representative Sterling, of Illinois, who believes in dissolving the big combina tions. will submit a separate report. Hits $50,000,000 Corporations. The report advocates the creation of an interstate commission of industry, tn he clothed with extensive powers of regulation, and with power to fix rea sonable prices for the output of corpo-' rations. The report would require that all corporations capitalized at $50,000.- nnt) or more operate under a charter to be issued by the I'nited States, before engaging in interstate commerce. Sm ill 1 ’! corporations might avail them selves of the Federal charter at their own option. All corporations availing themselves of the I'nited States charter would be recapitalized at their actual value. The Republican members make it plain that the report is not an expres sion of Republican policy or dictated by the Republican administration, insist ing that the committee membets stand an their own bottom in enunciating heir views. The report does not spare the steel trust or its organizers. J. P. Morgan <Sr Co, are credited with a profit of $62.- Swi.non for underwriting the organiza ■ ion of the I'nited States Steel corpo ration. Labor conditions in the steel j mills are declared bad, and a sugges tion is made to the corporation to ini-I prove them by working mill hands in >ight instead of twelve-hour shifts. What Minority Finds. The report summarizes its Findings as follows: "The corporation was capitalized at $1.4011.000.000. of which nearly one-half was 'water.' "The average annual earnings of the corporation, have been from II to 12 per .ent on the actual value of its assets. The corporation controls a little over one-half the crude and finished steel business of the I'nited States. "The average wholesale price of steel products has fallen off since the Corpo ration was organized. "The corporation and all Hie inde pendents have an understanding as to prices. "The system of interlocking directo rates has insidious consequences and facilitates 'inside management' anil the stifling of competition. "The situation to iron ore supply is grave and may become menacing. Labor conditions in certain depart ments of the steel industry are bad.” Minority Recommendations. The minority epitomizes its recoin- , niendations as follows: All corporations exceeding $50,000, • | in capitalization or valuation must In . onie I'nited States corporations be fore entering interstate commerce. For smaller corporations I'nited States charters are voluntary. "All I'nited States corporations must be recapitalized at their actual value. "An interstate commission of indus try, like the interstate commerce com ’’ i-sion. to be established. Publicity to tn' provided I'or. 'When the price fixed by a I'nited ■''tat - corporation has been found to b 1 unreasonable, the interstate com mission of industry must publicly de clare that fact and recommend a rea sonable price. "Interlocking directorates and 'hold irg' companies forbidden except whi n '’'"milled by interstate commission of industry. If foregoing recommendations shall prme insufficient to meet the trust prob m. the interstate commission of in dustry ought to be given a carefully Guarded power to decree maximum I’l ' f's when necessary.

She prepared today to wed Herman Karl Theodore Marla Merbach Gelder VonEgmout. Miss Lo renz declared that Herman is decidedly Bierman and, in spite of the fact that he was ejected from the Blackstone hotel when he failed to pay his board, she still believes he is a count. The Blackstone hotel is holding the man's grip and shotgun in lieu of the payment of a five days bill, while the manager of a garage haunted the foot steps of the pair In an effort to collect a bill of $148.75. Edwin Wolff has come forward with the assertion that the "count" and he formerly were employed in the same saloon as porters.

LEE WASHINGTON, July 29.- Blood from her brother's veins was transfused into her own by surgeons yesterday in a futile effort to save the life of Miss Jean Searles, of Vicksburg, Miss., sec retary to RepreSntative Gordon Lee, of Georgia. Miss Searles was taken ill a week ago, and during this time had lost a large quantity of blood. The surgeons determined two days ago that she would be unable to live without a fresh supply of blood. Her brother, Thomas Searles, volunteered, and permitted the sur geons to open his own veins. The effect was only temporary, how ever. and was offset by repeated hem orrhages. She died a few hours later.
