A subcommittee OF the House Ju-
dietary Committee is holding daily ses-
sions in an effort to formulate a com
posite ANTITRUST bill which viii embody
such views as It is believed will receive
the Endorsement Of the House.
Already many differences or OPINION
have been developed in the committee,
and a struggle for supremacy is on be-
tween Representative Jenkins. the new
chairman Of the committee. and Repre-
sentative Littlefeld, who seeks to domf-
nate the committee and constitute him
self the father OF antitrust LEGISLATION.
Representative jenkins believes that the
limit OF Congress action with rela-
ton 20 trusts has been reached in the
sherman act, and that nothing more can
be done without an amendment to the
Constitution. Representative LAttIeheld
holds that the sherman law may bs
amended and that publicity may be de-
manded. and still keep within the limit
Of constitutional authority.
Subcommittee Named.
To avoid friction and a clash at the
outset, Chairman Jenkins has temporarily
subordinated his own views and appoint
ed a subcommittee, all the members OF
which believe with Mr.. Littlefeid that
further antitrust legislation is possible

Congress now has 10 this committee all

matter.
