met with signal success in his efforts to
get Legislation through Congress that
shall put some limitations on the opera
lions of the trusts The bill, of which
Mr. Littlefeld is the father and through
the championship of which he has gained
the name "trust-breaker," has success
fuzzy passed the House with not a single
vote in opposition out of 2i5 cast. Not
a member of that body cared to go on
record as opposed to legislation that is
designed to place restrictions on the
trusts. The main feature of Mr.. Little
fields bill is the provision for publicity so
strongly urged by President Roosevelt.
a sensation was occasioned in Wash
ington at the end of last week by the
published statement that several United
States senators had received kilograms,
signed John ID. Rockefeller, peremptoriy
urging and declaring that legislation in
terfcring with the trusts must be stopped.
None of the senators whose names were
mentioned in this connection admit hav-
ing received such kilograms, and Mr..
Rockefeller himself refuses to talk No
doubt is expressed that the trusts are
trying to stop antitrust legislation, but
the main reason for doubling this par
ticular story is the belief that Mr.. Rookie
Teller is too shrewd a man to risk any
such personal and open work as this.

THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY FEBRUA
AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON.
Brewers and DlstllIers Alarmed.

a little bill slipped through the House
January q without attracting particular
attention, which has since caused a com
motion among the brewers and distil-
lcrs of the country 1t provides that
liquors transported into any state or ter
ritory shall. upon arrival at the boundary
of such state, before and after delivery,
be subject to the operations of the laws
of such state and shall not be exempt
from such laws by reason of being in
PRODUCED in original packages or other
wise The purpose of the bill is, in fact
to prevent the evasion of state laws
under the original package decision Of
the United States supreme court. 1t
therefore gives the states jurisdiction
over imported liquors before as well as
after delivery. and it extends the state
laws to original packages. The effect Of
the bill. If it becomes a law, will be to
bar out liquors from prohibition states or
districts i'm states where prohibition pre-
walls by local option.
Since the brewers and distillers have
discovered what the bill means their
representatives are pouring into Wash
ington by every train with the inten-
ton of preventing the passage OF the bill
by the Senate.
