THE tWASHINGTOISr POST: SUNDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1914. 11 NO TRUCE WITH TRUSTS; BIG BUSINESS IS SAFE, DECLARES U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL GREGORY Quiet, Gray-Eyed Man, Who Won the Greatest Legal Victory Known, in Texas Oil Case, Out' lines the Policy of His Office Toward the 'Bad 1 "What the Sherman Intended ta prevent acquiring the power to increase prices and reduce the character of service.

The law assumes that, haying the power to Increase prices and reduce the character of service, a monopoly will eventually exercise that power, even though It may not do so at once." In this way Attorney General Oraff- ory sounds the key note of his administration of the Department of Justice, and sets forte pithily the attitude he has acquired as a result of long and successful fighting against unlawful The man who now oeou- ples one of the most important positions in the cabinet to the Washington administration a record nnequaled by any lawyer in the United States. The new Attorney General is the one American prosecutor who has forced a powerful trust to Its knees and compelled it to pay a heavy penalty. Representing the State of Texas, he not only drove the Waters-Pierce Oil Company beyond the confines of that State, but compelled it to pay as penalties for violation of the Texas laws the sum of $2,000,000 Powers of His Position. Because of tha fact that the Demo- RBCEHTIiY APPOINTED AS THE HEAB UNCLE SAWS LEGAL DEPARTMENTS i3 pledged to battle evils throughout ths cratic party against trust present administration, it is only natural that the people of the United States should look with keen interest to the personality and ability of the man who is now America's chief dispenser of The newest member of the cabinet finds himself in a position of great trust and tremendous power He has under his command an army of secret service operators that eclipses the combined forces of the secret service employed by the Treasury Department and the Postoffice Department As the recognized legal expert the present Washington government, he is called upon by the chief executive and by every other member of the cabinet to rule on all essential legal Questions affecting the administration of every department of the government. His appointive power reaches to the most distant sections of the United States, and tha activity of tbe Department of Justice under his regime be reflected in the Federal administration of justice from one end of the country to the other.

Attorney General Gregory is a Southerner by birth, and has spent hie entire life in the South Because of this, one's first impression of the man does not measure up his dominant characteristics He has the quiet courtesy of the Southerner, the low voice and tactful manner of sppech of a diplomat. It 's only when the visitor studies his gray, eyes and notes the alertness he has inherited from Scotch-Irish ancestry that a clew- to the man's true personality is obtained He is a real fighter, but one tempers his determination with remarkable patience and absolute self- coutrol Thud Oldest in the Cabinet.

But It Is Teza that baa the atrongect claim on the new bead of the Depart- inent of Justice. It was In that he established bis reputation a lawyer; it was for Tejcaa that won the most remarkable flght in the legal history of the United States, and a Texas girl is life companion and the head of his new home In Washington.

His favor Ita books contained records of eloquent speeches made by the greatest orators of England in the period when Burke, Fox, and Sheridan swayed the English parliament by their brilliancy, and erudition. The future Attorney General wafe seat to the Southwestern Presbyterian University, at Clarksville, and without difficulty carried the orator's medal from a college course which he, for the first time In the record of the institution, completed In the short of Texas staggering sura of 12,000,000 (n fines.

He had reaoh- the commanding pasition when the agitation In Texas over the trust evil approached crisis. The State adopted rigid antitrust laws, and undertook to enforce them As a means of doing so, Mi Gregory and his law pjwtner, R. L. Batts, who had formerly served ae assistant attorney general of Texas, were retained by the State in the fight against the trusts. marked the beginning ef a career that led logically to the office of the Attorney General of tha United States.

The biggest case which Mr Gregory was called upon to handle was the fight against the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, which was. doing business in Texas nnder a State license, but whjch waa a sudsidiary of the Standard Oil Company, which owned two- thirds of its stock, Victory Startled the Ceuatry, After a preparation for the battle that emphasized Mr, Gregory's painstaking care, tbe first step was made in what was destined to the bitterest and the most brilliant battle ever conducted by a prosecutor of a great corporate interest.

It is not to be wondered at that this crowning victory caused lawyers and business men throughout the United States to marvel at th.e will power and the fighting qualities of tne maa who had upset traditions and precedents. Golfer, Hunter, and FUheratan. Recollections of thjs fight caused the visitor in the Attorney General's office yesterday to marvel the quiet, unassuming manner of the man who is now at the bead of legal ery of the United States. Mr.

Gregory has the appearance of one who has spent much, ef his the open air. His figure IB sturdy, his complexion Is ruddy, and bis eyes are. bright. balls in drawer of bis desk give evidence of one of his favorite amusements. Moreover, he ie known, to his associates as an enthusiastic fisherman and hunter.

His particular preference is fly-fishing, and when he can get away from his desk In Washington for a few hours at a time, be is certain to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the waters of Virginia and Maryland. He it, known as a crack wing shot, and he shoots very well with a rifle. A few years ago, before pressure his legal business became so mendous, he managed to put in few weeks every year in hunting big game. The Attorney General does not indulge in theories about tfefl gf trusts and the possibilities of the Sherman law. He knows what can be done for tha country under Jng laws, and bis reeorj offers abundant proof that he can take every advantage of his power without for a moment overstepping the limits of corporate rights and the dictates of sound business Judgment.

Theory of Trust "The theory ef the law la regard to trusts," he ai(J, "is that competition is always desirable. Competition tends to produce better service more consideration for tbe customer la the matter of accommodation. Naturally, if you have the of two or mere dealers In a commodity from whom to purchase, you, a customer, are likely to better treatment- than, if you haJ to buy from one dealer. "Sometimes you will find a trust furnishing an article for a less ban it was furnished before the trust was formed. You then, naturally, will say that tbe trust is a good thing.

But fact that a trust nmy be what has been termed a 'good trust' today net mesa that, having the power, It might not become a'bad trust' tensor-, row. "Possession of the power to suppress competition, then, as well as actual suppression, Is Purposes of tha Government. "The purpose of the government in the antitrust prosecution is measurably to restore or protect competition when it has destroyed, OF is in danger of being destroyed, and to do this in a reasonable way, and jn such a manner as to as little daqaage to legitimate IrdustfJftJ 4114 financial con- ditions as possible, while vlndlcatln the law." This simply lucid explanation of Attorney General point of view and attitude toward "bij business" offers a clearer and stronge: analysis of the great American prob lem than Is found In piany columns on the same subject from other au thorities. It is also an illuminating and definits exposition of the polio; hat will govern head of thi Department of Justice in a program that is of vital importance to the Unit ed States. When the Attorney General fough his long and successful battle agains the Waters.Pierce Oil Company, hi found his final attack opposed by Mr Moorefleld Storey, of Boston, the man who now represents the New York New Haven, and Hartford Railway.

It is ajj exceedingly interesting fact that the two men who clashed in the Supreme Court of United States Hve years ago on that memorable case were destined to be opponents in a tremendous struggle. When former Attorney General McHeynoldp took office in 1913, he realized the importance, of retaining the services of a specially qualified lawyer to handle the New Haven prosecution. had but one man Js mind. He wanted the lawyer who had won for this of Texas its celebrated fight againgt the Ofl Company, He appealed to Mr. Gregory, for patriotic motives to accept appointment as special Assistant Attorney General in charge ol the New Haven case.

Enters the Jfew Haven Case. Mr. Gregory accepted, and began at a. campaign that only a trained lawyer can appreciate. The work he did In assembling evidence, building up bis case so carefully that its foundation could not be attacked, and tracing out all the details of the purchase and operation ot every one of the once competitive lines absorbed by the New Haven road, represented a stupendous task and demonstrated the genius for possessed by the man from Texas.

When the government filed Jts bill last July against the New Haven road In the United States district court for the Southern district of New York, the company soon realised that the ease against them defied defense, and decided to abandon a losing fight. The New Haven road is now negotiating with the United States government, and the result of the negotiations will be a remarkable tribute to the man who planned the battle against the company. Sympathy for Big Business. It js very probable that the people of the country who, have read stories of Attorney General Gregory's grim, uncompromising fight against trusts will picture him as a bitter and remorseless foe of monopolies. No impression could be further removed from the facts.

He talks about the objects of his famous prosecutions in a calm, impersonal, judicial, almost detached manner. His mapner conveys an extreme sympathy for the big business enterprises of the United States that have carried the commerce of this country to the ends of the world, and made the United States the greatest commercial power of the century. The visitor feels that what Mr. Gregory considers a "bad trust" has little hope for cessation of hostilities on the part of the Department of Justice under Its present chief An equally strong impression is gathered 4bat no detail of the antitrust campaign will Ixxsal following report on the and second class examinations recently First class--Iceland Qualntance, Troop 89, and Samuel Hardy, Troop 6, have compiled all the requirements, are now first class scouts In good standing Kenneth Livingstone, of Troop 39, hag the test to pass, Baldwin Hardy, of Troop to complete test on animaJd.
