TROUBLED ABOUT
ANTITRUST LAW
Members of House Committee
Fail to See Where Il Can
Be Amended.
HELD ALMOST PERFECT
MENT OF THE SHERMAN ACT
DEPENDS GREATLY ON THE Of
FICERS OF LAW.
(American News Service)

Washington, Dec 25.-Members of
the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce believe the
prospects for amending the Sherman
antitrust law, under which the SUI
preme court of the United States. in
the celebrated Danbury case, held that
labor organizations come within the
law as applied to restraint of trade.
are anything but bright Leading
lawyers in the house and senate say
that the sherman law, as it now
stands, is as near perfect as a law
can be fashioned, and to amend it
would upset the business of corpor-
ations engaged in interstate COM
merce. 1t was also believed that in
the matter of good" and bad
trusts the enforcement of the law de.
pends upon the law officers of the
government who can exercise their
judgment in the matter. The agita-
tion for an amendment to the Sher-
man law came from organized labor
after the supreme courts decision in
the Danbury hat case, and it was to
appease labor that both political par.
ties last year pledged themselves to
have the law changed so as not to ap-
ply to organized labor.

At an Early Hour Yesterday
The Merry Jingle of the

Wasn't it glorious? Why the snow,
of course. Just like an old-fashioned
Christmas like our forefathers used to

were rushing madly to and fro in the

some minor purchase for a frieni

who remembered them at the eleventh
hour; and while tired clerks and weary
statesmen were thanking their stars
that Christmas came only once a year.
and they would be given two days rest
from their strenuous exertions of the
past two weeks. the weather man
thought it was about time to cut loose
on one Of those old fashioned Christ
masses, and accordingly, becoming
more and more imbued with the spirit,

o'clock the atmosphere was filled with

throughout the night and when tie
glad bells of Yuletide rang out on
Christmas morning. old Mother Earth
was garbed entirely in white. The
trees were loaded and their branches
bowed down under the extra burden OF
snow, presenting a gorgeous appear

got busy with his plow. The children
clapped their hands in glee on looking
out Of the window early yesterday
morning. and even the elders smiled
with pleasure. as they realized tha: it
was to be white Christmas"
1t has been many years since Rich

was made to feel that life was not such
a bad proposition after all.
The Christmas Spirit.
The Christmas spirit pervaded the
atmosphere everywhere in the city
yesterday. Everyone seemed to be

by the continued strike has proved a
big drain on the resources Of the girls,
both as an organization and as indiv;d-

for supplying them with free lunches

One Of the officers of the union said
today: We have received thousands
of dollars from people on whom We
have no claim, such as that between
unions. Yet all this has not been
enough. There are thousands of girls
to be aided.
"And there are hundreds. indeed
thousands. who have no holiday feast
today. 1t isn't much of a holidaE

Several girls have been turned out

continued to do picket duty. They
don't mind missing the turkey very
much. As long as they can keep up
their strength and courage. they make
no complaint"

Managua, Dec. 25 This city is hav-

President Madriz has added to his
personal body guard and the force
about the presidential palace today
was on the alert for every and any at.
tack from sympathizers of the revolu-
tion.
The partisans of Gen. Estrada are
more open in their demands for a new
regime than they have dared to be in

pointment of Francisco Bacaya. for

enemies grant him at the most a re.
