Urgent Need Of Various Government
Departments for Funds influences
Chief Executive to Approve Measure.
SAYS There Are Other Funds With
Which to Prosecuate Sherman Law
Violations.
Washington, June 24.-President
Wilson signed the sundry civil appro-
priation bill with a statement declar'
ing that he would have vetoed, II he
could, the provision in it exemptlng
labor unions and farmers Organiza-
tons from prosecution under a GER
tain 100000 fund designated for tho
operation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
The president characterized the ex.
emDtion "as unjustifiable in charac-
ter and principle" but called atten-
ton to the fact that the department
of justice possessed other funds with
which to enforce the antitrust law.
The urgent need Of various gov.
eminent departments for funds ap-
propriated by the bill Influenced the
president to speedy action on tho
measure.
The bill carries $116,000,000 in ap.
populations and was vetoed by Mr..
Taft on March 4 because of the la
Dor exemption clause. When the bill
was reintroduced and passed by both
houses in identical form by the pres
ent congress this provision was the
subject Of sharp debate.
II have signed this bill because I
can do 50 without in fact limiting tho
opportunity or the power Of the de.
partment Of justice to prosecute vio-
lations of the law, by whomsoever
committed" said the president.
IF could have separated from the
rest of the bill the item which au-
thorized the expenditure by the de-
partment of justice of a special sum
of 100000 for the prosecution for
violations of the antitrust law I
would have vetoed that item"
