BURDEN OF PROOF
To Be Placed Upon the So Called
Trusts, BY New Law.

Washington. July IA bill amending
the sherman antitrust law in many par
ticuars will be included in the report
of the majority members of the House
special committee of inquiry into the
United States Steel Corporation. The
proposed bill would provide that in any
suit alleging corporation of trust
exists in restraint of trade The burden
of proof to establish the reasonableness
of such restraint shall be upon the
party who contends that such restraint
is reasonable
Another provision would grant to per-
sons or concerns claiming to have been
injured by a corporation adjudged guilty
of violating the law the right to dam
age without bringing an independent suit
allowing them to become parties to the
government suit and by proving dam
ages, secure judgment. The proposed
bill is said to have the sanction of the
minority members.
