The Amendments suggested to the
Sherman antitrust law were discuss
ed briefly.
The President said that a bin
would be presented providing for the
legalizing of traffic agreements be-
tween railroads. He called attention
to the fact that labor Organizations
had been expected to agree to such
legislation in return for provision
exempting them from the operations
Of the law.
The legislators present were not
ready to assent to the demands made
by labor in their bin Of grievances
recently submitted TO Congress, and
on that account urged that 1t would
be inadvisable to attempt any revision
OF the Sherman anti-trust law at this
time.
II is said that the President, while
not actually rejecting it, was not sup
posed to agree with the advice given
him. He declared that 1t was but
justice 70 the railroads to permit
trafiS agreements under proper re-
strietions and control by the Inter-
State commFce Commission, and
said that-ns interests woued be injur-
ed by such legislation. He was mot
impressed by the statement made to
him that labor would regard this as
extending benefits to railroads and
Withholding them from unions.
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 1t was
not certain that labor had rejected
unalterabIy the proposals for an
agreement under which some benefits
would accrue to organized labor, the
subject went over until such time as
the President shall be ready to pre-
sent his bill In concrete form. Afessrs.
Aldrlch, Daizell and Payne said that
they might be of different opinion
upon seeing the bin.
Representative Hepburn talked ov-
er with the President the terms OF
the bill amending the antitrust law
as It has been modified since labor's
attitude became hostile to the general
scheme urged by the Civic Fedora
ton. Mr.. Hepburn win introduce the
bill in the House probably today.

No Tax on Pianos,

The vigorous protests made in
France against the proposal to levy a
tax upon all owners of pianos in that
country have had the desired result
and for the present no further attempt
will be made to carry the suggestion
into effect
The plan, as the London Telegraph
recalls, was to make every possessor
of a small piano pay the equivalent
of two dollars year, and the owners
of a grand were to disburse double
that amount 1t was estimated that
the revenue from the proposed tax
would enrich the Golfers of the state
to the tune of $1,0O0000. Many collec
tons of other instruments have been
known to produce worse tune.

BELLBIRD BROUGHT TO LONDON
Rars Specimen That Has Been Sc
cured for the Zoo.

A specimen of the naked -throated
bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nudicollis)
has just been received at the Ioolog-
ical gardens, London. The most re-
markable thing in connection with the
bellbird is its powerful voice; 1t ut
tiers a clear, metallic note which can
be heard at distance of three miles.
Its noise is like that produced by a
blacksmith striking his anvil Some
times it repeats its notes in quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice of this bird; it is loud and
piercing, and would be heard above
the din produced by every inmate of
the ZOO raising its voice at once. Elk
