At the same time. it would give the

Experience with the Sherman measure
has convinced those who have 10 DO
with its administration that II does not
represent the right method of handling
combinations.
Combination IS the very essence Of

is desired is a method under which com

GAS MONOPOLY BILL
SET FOR ARGUMENT,
FIGHT TO FOLLOW
House Will Discuss In
flation at Session Next
Wednesday.

Arguments viii be made before the
District Committee OF the House next
Wednesday morning by the corporation
counsel and the attorneys for the Gas
Monopoly on the pending bill 10 repeal
the imitation clause OF the Gas Mon
opoiys charter.
This decision was reached today by
the District Committee iu executive
session.
As soon as the meeting adjourned. i,
was announced that the committee viii
hear those arguments on the day set.
that only the one hearing viii be given
and that the committee may vote on
the bill next Thursday.
As the District Court Of Appeals has
ruled that the imitation clause is uu-
constitutional, it is not thought by the
friends Of the repeal movement that the
committee will find any difficulty in
deciding that the imitation clause should
be repealed.
Clause Unconstitutional.
The very effective argument was made
today that there is no use in keeping
on the statute books clauses that have
been declared unconstitutional.
II the imitation clause is repealed the
peoples fight for cheaper gas is vir-
tually won. for it will he only a question
Of time after that when the price Of
gas will be lowered. The thing Of prin-
cipai importance at this time is 10 pre-
vent OVeTcgpitaliZati0n OF the monopoly.
-he meeting today was engaged for
the most part in a discussion of the
Campbell anti-gambling bill. which is
one of the most drastic measures Of this
kind ever written. The suggestion was
made IN the committee that the bill had
better be framed so as to make IL apply
only to betting on races, as IL was eX-
tTemely probable that a measure includ-
ing stock gambling and every other
sort Of gambling would defeat itself
in Congress by its own severity.
Campbell Firm.
Mr.. Campbell, however, refused 70
hear of this, and in this he was backed
up by a large majority Of the commit
tee. He insists that one form OF
gambling is as bad as another and that
as long as the ban is to be put on bet
ting on horse races, ii might as well be
put on every other form or gambling
The committee adjourned at noon, but
went into session again at O'Clock this
afternoon to consider further the
Campbell measure.

kept IN retirement by his friends.
Hummefs sentence, eommutte1 10

He ContTadicts Lilley.

At first Mr.. Metcalf said he thought
it did. but he changed his answer and
said it did not.
Questioned further BY Mr.. Olmstead,
he said he thought the pending bin
gives the Lake Company ample Tins
and opportunity to get in on the ap-
preparation for submarines. This was
a contradiction of Lilley's charge that
legislation has been shaped so as 70
keep out the Lake boats and TO favor
