ENDANGERS ANTITRUST ACT
Wickersham Says House Amend
ment Virtually Repeats It.

Washington June 1.-THE House has
SO amended the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill as virtually to repeal the Sher-
man antitrust law, in the opinion Of At
torney General Wickersham, If the pro-
vision is finally enacted into law.
The amendment, it is said, would legis-
late Jacob NJ. Die, inson. ex-Secretary Of
War, out of the employ of the govern
ment as its chief counsel in the steel
trust suit, and would similarly affect b.
D. Townsend. special assistant to the At
torney General in the proceedings for
the recovery Of oil lands from the South
ern~Pacific companies and others.
The provision would forbid the Attor-
ney General from using the sundry civil
appropriations for the payment of salary
or allowance to any person holding an
other position under the government or
who had been in the federal employ dur
ing the preceding two years. This re-
striction thus applies to expenditures in
connection with antitrust and inter
state commerce cases. customs prosecu-
tons, claims suits and other legal &C
tions.
The Attorney General said: This ac~
ton strikes at efficiency and is one way
Of repeating the Sherman law"
