House Democrats Beat Ii.

Washington, June 2.-The House
OF Representatives yesterday defea ted
the Joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution to
give Congress power to regulate
trusts. While the amendment had a
majority it failed by 3S votes to Sc
cure the necessary two-thirds vote OF
the House. The vote stood 154 to
131. Four Democrats voted for the
measure and two Republicans
against it.
Mr. De Almond, closing the debate
for the Democrats, declared that the
antitrust amendment was a Repub-
lican subterfuge for campaign pur-
poses. He would not vote for a
measure TO be sent to the Senate to
be buried there. He disapproved OF
the amendment, too, because it took
from the states the power to regulate
trusts.
