Government Officials Have Varying Opinions
as to Decision in Standard Oil Case.
PRESIDENT SAYS He WILL ACCEPT It AS HIS LAW
Taft Is Believed BE Disappointed Over Ruling OF Tri-
bunal in So Far as Mention Is Made OF "Unreason-
able" Restraint of Trade---Other
People Are Heard.

THE supreme court In several of it's
decisions has declined to read into the
statute the word unreasonable before
restraint of trade on the ground tina
the statute applies to all restraints and
does not intend To leave to the court
the discretion to determine what IL Il

The apparent reversal In the Stand
ard oil cases of the court decisions
on these former occasions. formed the
basis of much discussion here. AL
though the presidents ideas as to the
rule of reason" seem to be divergent
from those of the majority opinion and
to coincide more closely with the dis
senting views Of Justice Harlan Mr..
TAFT was quoted by callers today Us
saying:

preme court: am willing to take my
law from it,
Generally speaking. democratic SEN

pressed their disappointment as to the

Chairman Adamson of the house
committee on interstate and foreign

no constitutional power 10 write the

into the Sherman antitrust law.
1t was reported tonight that several
democrats are ready to offer amend
ments to nullify the courts interpreta-
tion Of the law. but the matter unques-
tionably WIN be carefully considered
before any action is taken. Some in
surgent republican senator's also were
said TO have In view amendments to

In the Cabinet.

The Standard Oil decision occupied
the cabinet almost exclusively at to-

ing read 1t over twice, also discussed
its purport with some of his callers.
The attitude of the president himself
that he should defer to the supreme
court and accept their law as his law,
was reflected by the cabinet.
Whatever their opinions might be,
none OF them was willing to admit that
the decision was displeasing. There Is
a disposition among cabinet members
