“My observations of England," said »
try as cheap I- It all In modem
abroad then the trust couldvesiat, with-
out the benefit of any tori at an, al-
tbougb it. could not esto so much.
Discrimination by railroads has sided
trusts. That can be remedied by laws
which will place producers on equal
footing. ,But the remedy must be com-
plete enough to revent the organisa-
tion of a monopo y. We differ more in
remedy than we do In our opinion of
the trust. Few people will detend the
trust as a principle. As to the rem-
edy. both state-sad nation should have
concurrent remedies. In the first place
every state has. or should have. the
right to create any private corporation
which in the justice at the people at
the state is conducive to the welfare
of the people of that state. i believe
that we can safely entrust to the peo-
ple of a state the settlement of a ques-
tion which concerns them, it they can
create a corporation and it becomes de-
structive of their best interests. they
can destroy that corporation and we
can safely trust them both to create
and to annihilate if conditions make
annihilation necessary. in the second
place the state has-or should have the
right to prohibit any foreign corpor-
ation from doing business in the state.
and it ought to have or has the right
to impose ‘such restrictions and limi-
tations as the people of the state may
think necessary upon any foreign cor-
poration doing business in the state.
i believe, in addtion to a state rem-
edy. there must also be a federal rem-
edy. Congress has or should have. the
power to place such restrictions and
limitations. even to the point or pro-
hibition, upon any corporation organ-
ized in one state. that wants to do bus-
Iness outside of the state contrary to
public good. '
"i believe that these concurrent rem-
edies will reach the diificulty. that the
people of every state shall first decide
whether they want to create a corp.)-
ratlon: that they shall. secondly, de—
cide whether they want an outside cor-
poration to do business in the state.
and if so upon which conditions: third-
ly. that Congress shall exercise the
right to place upon every corporation
doing business outside of the state in
which it is organized. such limitations
and restrictions as may be necessary
for the protection of the public good.
"If this is unconstitutional and so
declared by the Supreme Court, i am
In favor of an amendment to‘the con.
stitution that will give to Congress
power to destroy every trust in the
country. in my Judgment. when you
take fronl manooly the powervto issue
watered stocks. you will go more than
half the way towards destroying mon-
opoly in thc United Stiles."

pressed sym‘pathytor motormen.
and felt sol chaos tor own safety
while riding on the care. Ills had am
or heard but one opinio- “3W:
that was tor the vestibular. he ban
never heard or an accident on the vas-
tibule care. As president of the Wom-
en's Clubs she represented 8,000 women
in the state. and there, was not one. she
believed. who did not favor the vesti-
bules. Mrs. Noble could not tell usl’.
Warner how many of the women had
guild her the cars should have vesti-
ll ea.
Roars-satiny. Osborn said ill be-
lieved the: Railroad Commissioners
were able to handle the matter. if
vestibular: were not necessary. why
were they placed in not houses?
‘ Mrs. Charles W. belton believed if
a man was to do his best work he
should be made comfortable. and this
was especially true in regard to motor-
men. Judging from one's own feelings
with the cold. it was a’uuestion of
common sense sawell as humanity to
protect the motormen.‘ ’
B. W. Maples thought the matter of
vestibllles should not he a debatable
question. Precedent had established
that all moving
locomotives. etc., were rotected. He
had been in cars between Westport and
Norwalk when the motormen had to
leave go of their lever and broke and
whip their hands to keep themselves
warm. The distance was three to
three and a half miles. '
Rev. J. .I. Furlong coincided with the
views of the preceding witnesses. and
considered that public interest called
for the protection of the men. He
thought there would not be one dissen-
ting voice to this. and the scriptural
injunction “Love your neighbor as
yourself." should be carried out.
P. H. Masterson said veatibules were
not a detriment to the sight of motor-
men. The first time he saw them was
’n New York state, and a motormen
old him they did not interfere with
lift sight or hearing. and were a great
protection to the men.
(loold Hoyt was then called. but the
.‘ommissioners thought that. as there
van a simlliariiy in the testimony. and
but they had secured the general ex-
pansion of the petitioners, there was
to further need of testimony from
hem. .
Superintendent K. William Mans-
leld. for the, Tramway Company. said
he longest rlin last winter was from
louth Norwalli to Stamford. seven
uiles: Meadow street to'Broad River,
liree and onc-tenth-miles: Norwalli to
Westport. three and four-tenth miles.
i‘hcre was no depot in Westport sup.
varied by the Tramway Company or
lone in Norwaik. The time. of the
rip each was was twenty minutes.
the Broad River run was a half hour.
When he first came here the runs took
welve hours for a day's work. He had
rradually shortened the time until
low the time was between ten and er-
lvcn hours. . About tuteen motormen
vcre regularly employed. seven cars
icing regularlly run In the winter. lie
lsually figured on three men for a car.
i‘hc entire length of line was about
lfteen miles, all run in the winter es-
-ept the one at the shore.
Attorney Warner then inquired of
'he witness about the depots for the
hen at. Wes'iport. Mr. Mansfield said
be men had three or four minutes at
he end of each rlln. lie had been in
be electric railroad business ten years.
‘illl had had some experience with ves-
“rules. In the last few days he had
vritlcn out his opinion in the matter.
which he road He said some people
bought the reason why vestibules
were hilt placed on the cars 'wrre be-
ause the Tramway company objected
to the. expense. but this did not enter
'nlo the question. lie said the tlrst he
knew of the matter was when he saw
an item in a newiipaper a new days
’ igo that Attorney Walsh was circula-
ing a petition for vestibules. He
bought not one of the witnesses knew
what was meant by vestibules. He cit~
ed several instances when motormen
had violated the rules of the. com-
pany. and had to be summarilly dis-
missed. He did not believe the men
would open the small window'in front
of the vestibulea. and that. being clos-
‘ld up in them. would prevent the mo-
tormen from seeing and hearing.
Attorney Walsh. In his argument.
stated that it was the general senil-
nent of the people of Norwalk that the
Tramway Company should be compel-
led to place vestibuloa on the cars.
llld insisted that vestibules should be
‘)lflCCd on them. z
' Attorney Warner said most any ten-
-Ie.r-bearted woman would want mu-
blilos. hilt it was hardly right to com-
'iel a corporation to place vestlhulcs
on the cars to please a set of meow
when other men could be secured to
till the some positions. As to their
being such indignation from the people
of Norwalk. it was all In Attorney
Walsh's imagination. as were also the
bowls from the press which he speaks
of. .
