ANTI TRUST BILL
A Bone of ContentiOn--Suicide
Bill Introduced--PersonaI and
Political.

Washington There is likely to be
considerable pulling and hauling be-
tween the ''stand pat" contingent of
the republicans in the senate and the
get action" republicans in the house
before an agreement upon an anti
trust bill is reached. A notable diff
ference of opinion between the two
fsctions on the advisability of action
at this session is found and there is
wide divergence of views az to the
nature of the remedy to be applied to
alleged trust evils. A decided atmos-
phere Of skepticism as to practical
legislation against the trust is found
among senators on both sides of the
chamber. In private conversation
they frequently express the doubt of
their ability to get bill which will
accomplish definite results, through
the senate at the short session. This
doubt is based mainly upon the fact
that many senators are not convinced
of the wisdom Of antitrust legislation
at this time. These are found princi-
pally among the stand pat kind, that
is, the element who are fearful of at
tempting legislation, which may in
any way, shape or form, affect exist
ing business conditions. The indus
trial situation, they claim, while at a
stage of unexampled activity and pros
perity, is so delicately posed that in
their opinion, Legislation action, un-
less carefully guarded, might clog the
great machine and interfere with the
smooth running of affairs.
