WANTS A CONSTRUCTIVE LAW

Westinghouse to re-
place the Sherman Antitrust Law so
as to protect property interests and
the peoples welfare alike was urged
by Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the
board Of directors of the United

ing his testimony before the House

committee.
Il wish" he said, that this COM
mittee will take advantage OF its op-
portunity TO suggest legislation and
use its influence to bring about the
enactment of proper legislation cal
culated to properly protect the prop
erty interests of the country, the in
terests of the government and the
people at large, so as TO permit us
to continue business progress along
lines OF prosperity.
Constructive legislation is what
is needed in this country II we are
to retain our position in the ranks
with competing nations OF the
world"
Would you believe it sensible"
asked representative Littleton, Ito
have Congress appoint a Joint COM
mittee TO hear representatives of cap
ital and of labor and of so-called re-
strained and unrestrained trade with
view to preparing an antitrust law
w-ich would correct features of the
Sherman law or errors that might
have come through court decisions
on that law. and to strengthen and
elaborate that law?"
Yes. I do" responded Mr. Gary.
and / would be glad 10 have such
an undertaking result in something
more practical and to Be the first
one 10 fall into line TO i've up to
such a law"
