ton bill were non-concurred in and
the bill was sent to conference.
Messrs. Hull (Ia.), Capron Or. i. } and
Hay (Va.) were appointed conferees.
General debate on the anti-trust
bill having closed Friday, the bill was
read for amendment under the five
minute rule. Mr.. Littlefeld, in charge
Of the bill, offered an amendment to
section 1, which was adopted, pro-
viding that suits for failure to make
returns under the bill could be
brought wherever the defaulting cor
pora ton ''has place of business"
Mr.. De Almond (Mo.) offered the
minority amendment to this section,
providing that all corporations with
a capital of 100000 or more doing
an interstate business 'now or here
after" organized, should make an
nual returns. ...'
Amendment Voted Down.
The amendment was voted down, 70
to SO. Mr.. Thomas (rep. Ia.) offered
another amendment in substance like
that offered by Mr.. De Almond, ex-
cept that there was no Gmitatio
upon the capital stock of corpora
lions required to file returns, and it
also was voted down, rs to 81.
Mr.. Sulzer (dem., N. W charged
that clever trust lawyers of New
York had prepared the. pending bill.
He said at one time he thought Mr..
Littlefeld was sincere, but he. was
now reluctantly compelled to give
the opinion that the bill of the trust
buster from Maine" was ''seven
pounds lighter than a straw hat"
Mr.. Sulzer said he believed the pres
ident was honestly attempting to ac-
complish something The difficulty
was that his party would not support
him. The pending bill was as inef-
fectual as ''putty blower would be
to stop an elephant ON the rampage
Mr.. Henry (dem., Tex.) offered as a
new section an amendment to place
steel rails, binding Irvine. paper and
some other articles on the Free List. To
it Mr. Littlefeld made a point Of order.
This matter was allowed to go over
until the reading of the bill was re-
ported.
