BILL REFERRED
TO TRADE BODIES
Initiated by Chamber of Commerce of
United 8tatee on Report of a Special
Committee — Voting to Be For or
Againat 8even Recommendation*.
Result to Be Made Public.
Washington. — A referendum rela
tive to the proposed Interstate trade
commission bill recently reported Into
the house of representatives by the
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce was initiated by the cham
ber of commerce of the United States
of America. It goes to the 543 com
mercial organizations In forty-seven
states, and the votes of these organiza
tions, when recorded, will be made
public.
The referendum Is based on the re
port of a special committee composed
of two business men. The committee
presents its recommendations In such
form that the membership of each or
ganization Is enabled to express Its
opinions by voting for or against the
various proposals.
The seven definite recommendations
to be supported or rejected are:
That there be created an Interstate trade
commission of at least five members, ap
pointed by the president and confirmed
by the senate, not more than a mere ma
jority of whom shall be of the same po
litical party.
That Jurisdiction of the commission in
conducting Investigation extend to all cor
porations engaged in interstate or foreign
commerce except such as are amenable to
tho Interstate commerce commission. (It
has not been Judicially determined wheth
er or not banks are engaged in interstate
commerce, but it 1* not understood to be
the purpose of the bill creating an inter
state trade commission to include banks
among the corporations placed within the
Jurisdiction of the commission.)
That the commission should not now be
given authority to advise applicants con
cerning the legality of proposed contracts,
combinations, etc., under the Sherman act
That the annual reports of corporations,
if required, should at the outset be con
fined to those of the larger corporations
(sny, to those having capital resources of
$6,000,000 or more or to those having an
annual income of $2,600,000) and to suoh
other classes of corporations as the com
mission may officially determine.
That In the annual reports made to the
commission corporations ought not to be
required to disclose trade processes, shop
costs, classification of sales and profits
among particular articles, names of cus
tomers or other like private Information.
That the publication of facts obtained
by the commission be confined to such as
are to the public interest.
That congress should direct the com
mission to investigate and report to con
gress at the earliest practicable date on
the advisability of amending tho Sherman
act to allow a greater degree of co-opera
tion in the conduct and for the protection
of the foreign trade.
In suggesting that the - membership
of the commissiou should be composed
of five members rather than three ns
proposed In the present house bill, the
committee argues that since a large
proportion of Interstate business of im
portance is now transacted by corpo
rations the duties of the commission
will bo so important that so small a
membership as three is Inadequate.
The committee also concludes that a
commission may earn a greater degree
of popular confidence for nonpartisan
ship and impartiality than a depart
mental official can hope to attain. The
committee also is convinced that the
larger commission would provide for
different points of view and opportu
nity for the inclusion of business ex
perience.
The committee believes that there
should be no discrimination as to the
kinds of corporations with which the
commission deals, since such a limita
tion might develop a suspicion of fa
voritism. It says, “Neither size nor
any other arbitrary standard of classi
fication is a sure criterion of lawful
ness or unlawfulness under the anti
trust acts or under any other laws."
The committee is convinced that the
general jurisdiction of the commission
should not extend to persons and part
nerships, giving this reason:
“As a matter of business judgment,
individuals and partnerships as such
will not engage in interstate or for
eign trade on a scale sufficiently large
as to have the potentiality of effecting
a restraint of trade or creating a mo
nopoly. Before their business assumes
a character or a volume that creates
possibilities of illegality under the anti
trust acts they are under a practical
necessity of adopting the corporate
form with Its limited liability and oth
er advantages."
