ANTITRUST LAW Is BLAMED
Banker Vanderlip Declares Business
Unres. Is Due TO Sherman Act

New York.-E'ranH a Vanderifp.
president of the National City bank,
in an interview published in the Out
look, declared that the hesitant and
disturbed state of mind now so uni
versal among business men and capt
talists is due TO the chaotic situation
resulting from the attempt to adjust
business to a law"-the Sherman anti
trust law.
Mr. Vanderlip is quoted as saying
that:
Every line of industry having to do
with industrial expansion, with capt
tai expenditure. with anything in fact
other than supplying the day by day
consumptive needs of the country, is
Frustrated" Mr.. vanderlip declared.
He cites the tariff as one OF the minor
reasons for this condition, and blamed
most of the disturbance to the Sher-
man law. Mr.. Vanderlip is opposed
to government control of prices ex-
cept as a last resort
With proper publicity OF accounts .

MUST SELL SOAP BY WEIGHT
Only Articles in Natural State Come
Under Numerical Count Provis-
ion, Says Attorney General.

Madison Numerical count as
used in the Wisconsin weights and
measures law passed by the last leg
islature, is limited to apply only to
articles in their natural state, such
as apples, eggs, etc, according to an
opinion from the office of Attorney
General Bancroft.
The law provides that "all dry
commodities not otherwise specified
in this section shall be bought and
sold only by standard dry measure,
standard weight or numerical count,
except when parties otherwise agree
in writing"
"The evident intent of the law"
says the attorney general, was to
secure to. the consumer the full
amount of any commodity for which
he supposes he is paying. An opin-
ion is cited in which it is held that
meats, wrapped in many thicknesses
of paper, cheese cloth, ETC., should be
sold at the net weight of the meat ,"
An interesting aspect of this con-
struction of the law is that mer-
chants may no longer sell soap at six
bars fer a quarter or other stated
number of bars for a given sum, for
soap is not natural product as in
terpreted in the opinion of the attor-
ney general.
