PROTEST EXEMPTIONS
TO ANTITRUST LAW
Directors of U. S. Chamber OF
Commerce to End Sessions
Here Tomorrow.

That the provision in the sundry civil
bill now before Congress practically ex-
empting labor and agricultural organiza-
tons from prosecution under the Sher
man antitrust bill is violation of the
fundamental principle of equity in law

ton adopted today by the directors of the

The resolution states THAT ii is the
sense of this board that tho provision in
the sundry civil bill now before the United

the fundamental principle of equity in

ciple OF having Congress exempt from
prosecution any class of possible Offend
ers under any law. toward which tn.s
provision is in our opinion a definite step
and We respectfully protest against it's
enaction into law.
