SESSION WILL Be

Representative Man Sees No
Silver Lining to Demo-

Washington, Nov. 29.-"This will be
a do.nothing session of congress-" de-
clared Representative James B. Mann
OF Illinois. the minority leader Of the
mouse. who arrived in Washington to-
day to prepare for the resistance of
legislation planned by the Democratic
majority.
Scarcely had he delivered himself
OF this utterance when he was handed
message from his Republican COL
league. George H. Utter of Rhode Is-
land, which read as follows:
There has been shipped today to
you a genuine Rhode Island turkey.

mas gone to the white house. The
father was wild bird from Virginia
and the mother domesticated bird

Mr.. Mann real the message. ex.
pressed his thanks for the treat in
store. and continued his prophecy.
The Democratic leaders have an
nounced their intention to amend the
sherman antitrust law and make it
more drastic and more certain" said
Mr.. Mann. Il is easy to make harsh
er penalties. but harsh penalties do
not add to the effectiveness of a pro-
hibttory statute. Too harsh penalties
make convictions more difficult. It
will take years of court decision and
construction to draw the line between
what Is and what is not prohibited
hy the antitrust law close to the line
of demarcation. But monopoly should
not be allowed except where it is
natural.
The day Of competition in business
mas not passed. The government should
not regulate prices in competitive
business. 1t should not fix wages in
private business. When the govern.
ment fixes wages and prices in busi-
ness. it would better own the business
and run it,"
In the matter of tariff revision Mr..
Mann declared the Democrats had no
fixed policy.
