MAKES LESS HARSH
ANTITRUST LAW
Bill to Relieve Stringency of the
Sherman Act introduced
in the House

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The bill
prepared by the national civic fedora
tion, after conferences with the pres1-
dent and Representatives Of capital and
labor, to relieve the stringency of the
Sherman antitrust law was intro
duced in the house today by Represen-
tative Hepburn of Iowa. chairman OF
the committee on Interstate and for
eign commerce. II was referred by
Speaker Cannon to that committee for
consideration and report and IL Is IN
derstood that President Roosevelt viii
In a message to congress make recon-
mendation concerning IT..
There Is no information from which
to predict failure or success Of the
bill in the house. nor will there be
until the hearings have been given in
committee. Party leaders today pro-
fessed to be wholly ignorant of the de-
tails of the bill and to have only q
general understanding OF it's purpose.
One of the most interesting sections
OF the federation bill is that which
seeks to relieve organized labor from
the suppressive effects of the recent
supreme courts decision declaring la
Dor unions TO be conspiracies In re-
straint OF trade and therefore unlaw-
full. The bill. broadly speaking. aims
TO restore to unions their right of
peaceable existence. including the right
to strike. but leaving them still amen
able to the Sherman act in the matter
of boycotts, picketing and similar CO.
ercive practices.
BILL OFFERS BENEFITS
The bill introduced today does not
attempt to change the legal status OF
anything condemned as in restraint Of
trade under the Sherman antitrust
act; but 1T aims to provide way by
which. under certain conditions. com
binatfons and contracts In restraint of
trade that are not unreasonable may
be saved from attack. The benefits
and immunities offered by the proposed
bill, therefore. will be in the main con-
nned to those who register In accord
anee with the terms of the bill Com
mon carriers may register with the
interstate commerce commission and
all others with the commissioner of
corporations in the department Of
commerce and labor. 1t is proposed 70
amend section seven of the Sherman
antitrust act by cutting out the pro-
visions for threefold damages. reduc-
ing the amount that can be collected
to simple damages. as under the COM
mon law. Everybody, whether regis
tered or not, will get the benefit OF
this provision.
Both corporations for profit and
having capital stock and also corpora
tions not for profit and not having
capital stock may register, but neither
Is obliged to do so. This description
Is intended to include cooperative or
ganizatfons, as well as business cor
porations. agricultural and labor or
ganizatfons and the like. IL they do I
register. they will get the benedt Of
the act. If they do not register they
remain under the Sherman antitrust
law unamended

trsry II is all true. But we have learned that
the old ideal is inadequate 1t is a truth deeply
needed aud nobly demonstrated by millions OF
pioneers subduing virgin continent: but a pro-
founder truth, a higher synthesis. must be at
tanned for the crowded and complex question OF

the republic Is how to preserve the magnificent
personal daring and private initiative which
founded these states. and yet achieve that cor
porate consciousness and that power OF corporate
action demanded by the titanic tasks now con-
fronting US.
We need also to study more deeply the method
of nature unfolded In the cosrnic process We
cannot permanently live by system of morals

the inevitable law OF creation why not the law
of the hank. the mill, the factory. the office :
Let us proceed to devour the weak as soon as
possible
But we have misread the story OF creation.
The man who says that the primal law is the
triumph OF the strong has surely never looked
into birds nest, for there he would see
strength surrendering itself for weakness. Any

President Faunce was then introduced
as the charter day speaker. He traced
the characteristics of the American
people from the beginning, when Anglo
Saxon temperament and Puritan prin-
ciple were blended, producing men of
strong initiative, daring enterprise and
individualistic spirit, which predomi-
mated their political theories, from
which American industries, literature
and religion arose. OF the influence
that this individdalsm has had upon
the development President Faunce said:
Our commercial life has been marked By an
unhampered competition which has precedent
and which would have been quite Impossible

prairies and Inc exhaustible minerals. We have
