An appropriation Of 100000 was
made to be used by the attorney gen
eral in enforcing the Sherman anti
trust law. The house adopted an
amendment providing that no part OF
the appropriation should be used in
prosecuting labor organizations, but
the senate struck out this provision.
and later the house voted to recede
from it's position upon it. The dis
cussion and demands of labor leaders
brought out a letter from President
Taft who took strong position
against class legislation of that char
acter

servation of natural scenery through
the establishment of Glacier national

Friday was a busy day in the Sem
ate.
After the general deficiency had
been adopted Senator Gore attacked
the provision relating to the approval
of contracts with the Choctaw and
Chicasaw Indians. He said that the
approval of these contracts ment the
payment of 100000 to J. F. Nc
Murray, an Oklahoma attorney and a
loss of that sum to the Indians. He
charged that a big lobby was main
tanned in Washington in the interest
of the contracts and said that he had
been offered from $4,000 to $4,000
to support the claim.

Auto Tire Price to Jump.

New York, N. Y. = Automobile
tires will take an upward jump of 20
per cent in price after July 1. The in
crease in the prices comes as direct
result of the constant drain upon the
small reserve of rubber now held in
the European markets. Two months
ago there was market supply of
three thousand tons of rubber of
which two thousand five hundred tons
were held abroad. Today the total
supply is two thousand tons and prae-
tically all of 1t abroad.

New York-The wholesale prices
for refined oil have been reduced from
