Proposed Amendment

the sherman law and the interstate commerce law provides:
 That the burden of proof shall be upon the defendant corporation charged with unreasonable restraint of trade. That any corporation controlling 30 per cent of the production and sale of any commodity used in interstate com merce. is guilty, on prima facla eVl- dence. of unreasonable restraint and a Violation of the law.
 That individuals may bring suit in ouity to prevent business injury from oppressive competition, and that the state shall have power of intervention in antitrust suits. The amendment pro- poses that the injured business man shall be no longer dependent entirely upon the action of the department of justice for relief. A
 That there shall be no -interlocking directorates between railroad companies and industrial corporations producing equipment used by the railroads.
 That mo person who is engaged as member of a partnership or an off, flcer, director or employe of a cor poration which manufacturers or sells structural steel. railroad rails, cars or locomotives, or who is engaged in the selling or~mining of coal. shall act as an officer, director or employe Of any railroad company engaged in in terstate traffic"
 The approval of this amendment by Cogress would mean the divorcement or industrial corporations and common carriers, whether such carriers are land or water
 That no person, firm or corpora ton controlling the capital stock of one line of transportation shall control or op- crate a competing line.

By C. E. STEWART

Washington. July 2S-(Special)- The three bills agreed upon by the ma jority members of the Stanley steel in- vestigating committee. the main fea- lures of which have previously been published, will contain radical amend ments to the sherman law and the in terstate commerce acts, and will tell big business where 1t stands. The bills were presented as a part of the major ity report. to the full membership oi the committee.
 The democratic antitrust bills em body the most sweeping changes ever proposed to the sherman act and the interstate commerce laws. These meas ures are especially significant in view of the. authoritive understanding tha, Governor Wilson and leaders of the House have been consulted by demo- cratic members of the Stanley commit tee.

BRETON PEASANTS.
They Always Treat a Stranger With
Cenerous Hospitslitv

Generous Hospitality.
In Brittany all peasants carry their
own knives. and. as for forks. they
have no use for them. George Whar-
ton Edwards tells in Brittany and the
Bretons' of visit to an inn where he
met with the proverbial Breton hospi-
tality.
An old withered Breton woman sat
at the fireside busily knitting at u jer-
sey OF blue wool. and three men sat at
a table playing some sort Of game with
dominOs The men gave no apparent
heed to our entrance. but ! knew We
were being discussed In their patois.
We asked for bread. butter and
pitcher Of cider, which was forthcom-
ing. but no knives were brought. Not
ing our predicament. the three men at
once produced their knives. immense
horn handled affairs. and after wiping
them very carefully and considerably
on their coat sleeves they opened and
protfered them to US.
"And now, madame" said I. what
shall pay you:'
Five sous for the cider, m'sieur.
There is no charge for the bread, for Is
not that the gift Of bon Dieu?"
Thus it is throughout this strange
land Of Brittany One may travel
from end to end away from the large
cities and everywhere meet with the
same hospitality The peasant will
willingly share with you what he has
in the cupboard and will not ask fol
pay.

Permanently.
Therefore, II would seem that the
BOARD of Harbor Commissioners might
better adopt that form of construction
which has some degree of permancncy
rather than build wooden.piiing
structure which, at best, has very
short life.
An Example.
As case In point, tho old Govern.
mont wharf at lIilo, built of wooden
riling and timber only about fifteen
years ago. was condemned as unsafe
several years back and has long been
cut Of service; and It was recently
sold as junk for the sum of 5000, leav.
ing nothing TO show for large expen.

fifteen years ago.
Another example is the channel

twelve years ago, which has also been
condemned and Is out of service and

the question may well he considered

policy does not demand some form of
permanent construction.
Another Form.
At the meeting of the Board of IIar'
Dor commissioners Wednesday a plan
for another form of construction was
submitted by one Of the bidders, to-

proposal was supplementary and not
on the form furnished by the BOARD II
was not considered. The type oi
