The Senate, by a vote of IL to 81,
passed the sundry civil bill with the
provision of exempting farmers and
labor organizations from prosecution
paid with funds from this appropria-
tion measure. This exemption vas
called obnoxious by the last President.
he present President did not see in
it any mark Of special privilege,
though it has been charged alb being
of such a nature. BY providing funds
for trust prosecution it is deemed oh.
noxious by those whose freedom OF
expressing it opposes.
The Trusts, who are the target OF
this bill are up in arms, because they
say this is against Democracy, which
does not exempt any n from law,
making all members of a Democracy
amenable without exception.
The apparent injustice is n not
done the Trust, though the Trusts may
believe that with some of the appr0
priation used in prosecuting labor OF
farm movements the amount would be
less to fight them with and the fight
against them rendered weaker because
of this deficit made by the cost o.
the other prosecutions, and it would
be much to their advantage to have
as much of this appropriation used W
as possible to prevent the free ant
