SUNDRY BILL SIGNED
WILSON o. KS APPROPRIATION
BILL VETOED BY TAFT.
Would KIN Expenditure Of $500, 900 for
Antitrust Law Prosecutions, "
Had Power.

Washington, June 25.-President
Wilson on Monday signed the sundry
civil appropriation bill, with state
ment declaring that he would have
vetoed. II he could. the provision In
1t exempting labor unions and farm
ers' organizations from prosecution
under certain 100000 fund desig-
mated for the operation Of the Sher-
man antitrust law. In signing the
bill the president Issued the following
statement:
Il have signed this bill because !
can do so without in fact limiting the
opportunity of justice to prosecute vio-
lations OF the law by whomsoever
committed.
IF / could have separated from the
rest of the bill the item which author
lied the expenditure by the depart
ment of justice Of special sum OF
100000 for the prosecution of viola
tons of the antitrust law. / would
have vetoed that item, because II
places upon the expenditure limita-
ton which is in my opinion unjusti-
fable in character and principle. But
could not separate 1t. ! do not un-
derstand that the limitation was in
tended as either an amendment or an
Interpretation OF the antitrust law.
but merely as an expression OF the
opinion of the congress- very en-
phatic opinion backed by an over
whelming majority of the house OF
representatives and large majority
of the senate, but not intended to
touch anything but the expenditure OF
a single small additional fund.
Il can assure the country that this
item will neither limit nor In any
way embarrass the actions Of the de-
partment Of Justice. Other appropria-
tions supply the department with
abundant funds to enforce the law.
The law will be interpreted In the de-
termination of what the department
should do, by independent and hope
impartial judgments as to the true and
Just meaning of substantiative stat
utes OF the United States"
