WOULD AMEND SHERMAN ACT.
Senator La Toilette Seeks to Have
"Reasonable" Restraint Defined.

Senator La Toilette yesterday turned
his attention to the work of amending
the Sherman antitrust act He swept
into the Senate with a bill that proposes
to add six section to the Sherman law.
The first section of his bill enacts that
in any suit or proceeding, civil or
criminal, brought under or involving the
provisions of this act, 1t shall appear
that any contract, combination in the
form of trust, or otherwise, or conspiracy
was entered into, existed, or exists,
which was or is in any respect or to any
extent in restraint Of trade or commerce
among the several States or with for
eign nations, the burden of proof to es-
tablish the reasonableness OF such re-
straint shall be upon the party who con-
tends that said restraint of trade is rea-
sonable." In explaining this provision.
Mr.. La Toilette said to the Senate that
the existing rule of procedure gives I'm
due protection to combinations and con-
spiracies in restraint of trade" Mr.. La
Toilette contends that IL the proof ses-
tabIishes the combination as a restraint
upon commerce, the burden of show
ing that it is a reasonable restraint
should then be put upon the defendant.

effort they were supported by many
Democrats of the House. Suggestions
were made by Mr.. Underwood on the
door of the House that he push the
cotton bill with its amendments through
to a vote last night. but he declined to
do this. declaring that 1t was necessary
that the House should consider the i'm
