ROOSEVELT FAVORS CONTROL

Colonel Says Wall Street Is Violently Opposing Him. New York, March 15—Colonel Roosevelt ha!s discovered that Wall street “has inspired and entered upon a campaign of violent denunciation of him, ’ because he believes in rigid governmental control of big business rather than prosecution under the Sherman law. He announces his discovery in an article entitled “The Conservation of Business—Shall We* Strangle or Control It?” in the current number of the Outlook. He finds that the Standard Oil trust and the tobacco trust have positively benefited by the supreme ’court decisions ordering their dissolution. He says that a succession of such lawsuits is “a source of constant uneasiness and alarm to honest and upright business men whose anxiety is to find out the law and then to live up to it.”
