'Any Self-Respecting People Should Be Ashamed to Accept Charity From Them,” WASHINGTON M»> V In i »p*»«»ch before the Senate, in which lu attacked the* Sherman anti-trust law «a a failure. Senator Work*, of Cali- fornia, bitterly criticised I he method* of Andrew Carnegie fend John D. Rockefeller in acquiring gr»-at for t tines. Senator Work* advocated the pa** age of measures providing for the criminal punishment of specific acts In restraint of trade and clothing tlit* In terstate Commerce Commission with power to supervise the business of other corporations as It now controls rail reads. He urged that the commission be afve.i power "to Investigate nv cor poration or corporations charged with or suspected of contracting, combin- ng. conspiring or monopolizing in re straint of trade and to dissolve the ombination and place the offending • orporatlons in the hands of a receiv er, whose duty it shall be to close up the business of such corporations. It is not enough to dissolve* the combi nation The corporations themselves should be dissolved and their businea* wound up.” ‘Too Lenient With Rich Criminals.” Senator Works declared that rich criminals are dealt with too leniently He declared there is no remedy but “to take away the discretion of the weaklings on the bench, make the rime a felony and imprisonment Irr peratlve ” Speaking of the relation of a pro- j tective tariff. trusts and wages paid, Senator Works declared it would be an excellent thing if the Interstate j i 'ommerce Commission were given power to adjust tnriffs to compel man- ulecturers to pay fair wages. Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller and their charities were handled without gloves After ex pressing his surprise that Congress should have considered for one minute :ie question of incorporating tile Roc kefeller foundation. Senator Works said of Carnegie's libraries: Calls John D. a Poor Model. Any self-respecting community shou’d be ashamed to accept charity of this kind, under any circumstances. Much more should they refuse it. com ing from such a source. As a matter of simple justice and right the money thus accumulated belongs* not to the dispenser of these charities, but to the men, women and children whose un derpaid toll accumulated the fund "We do not want our children to be taught the ways nor the methods of John D. Rockefeller or his kind; nor to bo generous with ill-gotten gains, nor to touch, handle or profit by gold that should blister the Angers of the man who hajs accumulated It by extor tion. oppression’ and crime and in now attempting to rid himself of it by giv ing it away; nor to become the re ceivers of stolen goods in the name and under tne guise of charity.” White City Park Now Open TO PRESBYTERIANS Committee Looks for Five Hun dred to House Assembly Dele gates by Wednesday, More than half of the 500 homes needed to take care of the overflow of delegates to the big Presbyterian convention have been promised, ac cording to a report made at a meet ing of the chairmen and members of the sub-committees at the Capital City Club at I o’clock this afternoon.
