to the appointment of tariff COM
mission, such as is proposed in the
Beveridge and La Toilette bills.
DISCUSS AMENDMENTS
The amendments suggested to the
Sherman antitrust bill were discussed
briefly. The president said that bill
would be presented providing for the
legalizing of traf7c agreements between
railroads. He called attention to the
fact that labor organizations had been
expected to agree to such legislation in
return for provision exerpting them
from the operations of the law.
The legislators present were not
ready to assent to the demands made
by labor in their bill for grievances re-
GENTLY submitted to congress-, and on
that account urged that it would be
inadvisable to attempt any revision of
the Sherman law at this time.
1t is said that the president, while
not exactly rejecting it, was not dis
posed to agree with the advice given
him. He declared that II was but
justice to the railroads TO permit traffic
agreements under proper restrictions
and control by the interstate commerce
commission. and said that no interests
would be injured by such legislation.
He was not impressed by the statement
made to him that labor would regard
this as extending benefits to railroads
and withholding them from unions.
DEEMED BAD POLITICS
The president was told fatty that
such a course at this time would be bad
politics for the majority party to play.
On the statement that it was not GER
tain that labor had rejected uhalter-
ably the proposals for AN agreement
under which some of the benefits would
accrue TO organized labor, the subject
went over until such time as the presi-
dent shall be ready TO present his bill
in concrete form. Aldrich. Dalzel and
Payne said that they might be of diff
ferent opinion upon seeing the bill.
Representative Hepburn talked over
with the president the terms of the bill
amending the antitrust law as it has
been modified since labors attitude be-
came hostile to the general scheme
urged by the. civic federation. Hepburn
will Introduce the bill in the house,
possibly Monday
