THE ANTITRUST BILLS.
No Report to the Full House Judiciary Com
mittee Before Friday.
(By Associated Press.


Washington, Jan. 10.-The sub-commit-
tee of the House Judiciary Committee,
of which Representative Littleheld is
chairman, and which has been engaged
since early in the season in the consid-
Grafton of all pending antitrust bills and
the preparation of a bill to be reported
to the full committee, held session to-
day but took no final action. The sub
committee had the draft of bill which
it had practically agreed upon, but mas
much as the two bills drawn by the At
torney General had come before the
sub committee, action on the question of
the adoption of bill was deferred until
they can be considered and comparisons
made with the conclusion reached by the
subcommittee. 1t was announced after
the sub committee had adjourned today
that a report would not be made to the
full Committee on Judiciary until next
Friday.
1t is claimed that there is not a wide
difference between the bill drafted by the
subcommittee and those bills drawn by
the Attorney General, the former being
somewhat broader and going further in
the direction of publicity. 1t also is
understood that instead of creating q
new commission provided in the Attorney
Generals draft, the subcommittee bill
semination of information concerning
corporations shall be done through the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Cramps Win Bids for Two Cruisers
(By Associated Press. J

Washington, Jan. 10.-The Board of
Construction of the Navy Department has
submitted to Secretary Moody it's recon-
mendations that the bid of VIM. Cramp
and Sons, for the construction of the
cruisers Tennessee and Washington, be
accepted. Their bid was the lowest sub
mitted, 81 900, 900 for each cruiser, to be
completed in 36 and 80 months, respec
lively. The Board also recommends that
the firms bid of $4,000 each for in
staIling electrical plants in the new ships
be accepted. In conclusion the Board
says;
with regard to that part of Depart
ment's endorsement calling the atten-
ton of the Board to the provision of the
act authorizing with respect to combina-
tons intended to deprive the govern
ment of fair, open and unrestricted COM
petition in letting contracts for the con-
struction of the vessels herein referred
TO, the Board finds reason to suppose
that the bidding of these vessels has
been in any way influenced by any such
combination intended or calculated to de-
prive the government of fair, open and
unrestricted competition"
