Low ON HEPBURN BILL.
Ciric Federation President Explains
Sherman Lac amendment.

Seth Low president Of the National Civic Fedora
tion. issued a statement yesterday in further ex-
PLANTATION OF the Hepburn bill to amend the Sher-
man antitrust /, ". This bill was prepared under
the auspices OF tae National Civic Federation and
was introduced in the House of Represent tives on
March % A hearing has been Set by the House
judiciary Committee for Saturday Mr. Lows
statement says:
The entire bill is optional and not obligatory
No one is obliged to register, and no one. being
registered is Obliged 10 file his contracts except in
the single case of a proposed new combination of
corporations associations"
After referring 10 conditions under existing laws
the statement says:
The bill has two aspects-toward the pest and
toward the future As toward existing combna-
tions and contracts ii provides that those who
register shall not be attacked by the government
except upon the ground that they operate IN un-
reasonable restraint OF trade. 1t also provides
statute of Limitation Of year. after which no
suits be brought by the government the
ground actions taken prior the passage OF the
amending act. AS toward the future. the bill offers
opportunity for corporations or merchants wish
ing to enter into combination that may operate
In restraint of trade learn by quicker process
than through the courts whether the proposed com
bnation is likely to be attacked by the government
The bill does injustice 10 nobody tor nobody is
obliged to take advantage of its offer So far as
the offer is awaited Of IL will lead the publicity
which almost every desires in regard to bust
combinations that may operate in restraint OF
trade.
The clause recognizing the rights of employees to
strike. to combine and to make trade agreements
and the correlatiye right of employers as TO COM
bnation and the discharge of employees il beIieve
to be what has been called square deal A
careful reading of this clause will show that no
rights not already existing outside OF Sherman
law granted by II. 1t simply says that the
Sherman law shall not interfere with rights other
wise existing as to these points. 1t recognizes
neither blacklist nor boycott
Replying to the question to why amend
the Sherman law to permit reasonable con-
tracts in restraint OF trade. the statement says
that probably neither the President nor Congress
nor public opinion is ready for such n change, as
II would probably restore conditions as they were
before the Sherman antitrust law was passed
