CAUCUS UNABLE To AGREE
On Agnew Anti-Trust Bill and Primary
Election Bills


Election Bills.
The republican senators agreed TO
disagree at their caucus. Two meas.
ures were before the meeting Ag-
new antitrust bill and the primary
election question. There was g differ
ence of opinion on both questions, and
IN the end il was agreed that it was i'm.
possible TO reach . decision on either
one.
The disagreement on the Agnew bill
is taken to mean the defeat. or badly
GRIPPING, of the Agnew antitrust
measure IN the senate, on which there
Is wide difference of opinion. The bill
is much more drastic than the Cooper
antitrust bill, which passed the mouse.
and which will probably pass the sen.
ate. The Cooper measure received lit
