American Federation OF Labor and was
ct one time Secretary of the unIteu
Mine Workers of America, From the

be a member OF the cabinet. What
portfolio he ish being considered for Is
not .dlyulged, but 1t is known that
sPresidentelect Wilson holds the high.

have him. among his close advisors.
The most reliable information is that
James c.. McRenolds, of New York,
will be the new Attorney General. Lun.
firnation comes from every side that

UNCONTROLLED, INCLUDED
JUDICIAL DISCRETION.
SENATE COMMITTEE ATTACKS IN
VIGOROUS TERMS THE "RULE
OF REASON" IN DECISIONS UP
ON RESTRAINT OF TRADE.
(BY ASSOCIATED PRrss.y

WASHINGTON, d. Ca. Feb. 27.--
The Supreme courts so-ca'led modif'
cation Of the Sherman antitrust Law
to invoke "the rule OF reason in decl'
sions upon restaint OF LIade, is at
tackled in vigorous terms in a report
presented to the Senate by the inter.
state commerce committee today,
which points out the dangers OF "un.
controlled and unguided judicial dis
crcilon," and makes emphatic demand
for amendments TO the Sherman law
to remove from the courts. the power
to determine what are reasonable"
restraints Of trade.
The report Is the result Of the CON-
mittee's long investigation into the
operation OF the antitrust law. The
committee recommends rev laws to
define exactly what combinations are
unlawful, so that both the business in
terests and the courts will have a
standard upon which 10 proceed. 1t
recommends federal Interstate cor
poration commission, with power to
supervise corporations, PASS on and
approve combinations and agreements,
and take over the work Of dlssolvins
illegal CORPORATIONS such as the Stand,
ard Oil company or the American To
bacco company.
Commenting on the decision of the
Supreme court in the Standard OIL
case, in which the rule of reason"
was called IN, the report, written by
Senator Cummins, say, THE commit
teen has full confidence in the integ'
rity, intelligence and patriotism of the
Supreme court of the United States,
but it is unwilling to repose in that
court, or any other court, tie vast and
underlined powers which 1t must exer-
else in the administration Of the stat
utes under the rule which 1t has pro-
mulgated. It substitutes the court in
rlace of congress, for whenever the
rule is invoked the court does not ad-
minister the law but makes the law.
II 1t continues in force, the federal
courts, will, so far as restraint OF
trade is concerned, make a common
law for the United States just as the
English courts have made a common
law for England.
1.-The people Of this country will not
permit the courts to declare policy
for them with respect 10 this subject.
