PRESIDENT WILSON'S EXAMPLE,.

New York Times. Representative
Henry's antitrust bill unblushingly
incorporates the principle cnunciated
in the sundry civil service appropria.
tion bill, which President Wilson
signed on June 90 last. exempting the
labor organizations and farmers as
sociations from the restrictions Of the
Wilson antitrust act. The president
declared this rider to be, in his
opinion. "unjustifabl in character
and principle"-but he signed it. He
gave his reason:

] a do SO without in effect linn
itins the opportunity or the pow
cr Of the department of justice
to prosecute violations Of the law,
by whomsoever committed.

limitation was intended as either
an amendment or Interpretation
Of the ANTITRUST Law.
But in a Washington dispatch to
Tho Tribune, Representative Henry,
In explaining his bill. is made to say:
Section 10 provides hat the act
shall not apply to members of
organizations not for profit and
without capital stock. or to asri-
cultural products OF live stock,
in the hands Of the producer or
raiser. This exception is deemed
proper for the simple reason that.

president. congress provided that
!. no part Of n fund appropriated
and placed at tho disposal Of the
attorney general should be used
in the prosecution Of those be-
longing to labor organizations,
etc. This shows the national will
and intent as expressed by con-
sress.
President Wilson had said that the
department OF justice might continue
to prosecute violations of the law by
whomsoever committed. Representa-.
tive Henry now Gays that the passage
5of the appropriation rider and it's
signature by the president showed
the national will and intent to keep

the farmers organizations that might
be restraining trade contrary to the
intent Of the antitrust act. The
Henry bill is. o the administration
bill. It is not sponsored by President
Wilson. But the michievous result OF
giving effect to a proviso which ex-
.pressly amounted to class privilege
which permitted certain classes TO
break a law with impunity-is all too
evident In this measure drawn by the
chairman Of the rules committee of
the house.
The president. in signing the act
containing the exemption, said that
other appropriations supplied the de.
partment with abundant funds to en-
force the law. Having cut off from
