ANTITRUST PLANS
NOW UNDER WAY
Congress Preparing For Action
on Legislation to Break
Great Combines.

With the opening Of the regular ses-
sion Of Congress considerably less than
one month away. prospective anti
trust legislation shares public interest
and the Congressional ''trust-busters''
are showing signs Of activity. The
House Judiciary Committee. in fact. is
already conducting an informal in
Quiry into trust problems. and as soon
as the regular session convenes will
buck down and begin the making Of
an Administration bill.
Congressman Henry, chairman Of the
Rules Committee. who brought on the
Money trust Investigation, has fired
the opening gun In the antitrust war.
Mr.. Henry announces he has number
Of amendments to propose to the Sher-
man law. important among which is
the amendment decreeing that guilt Is
PERSONAL" in other words. that trust
barons shall be subject to imprison-
ment for violating the Sherman act.
Mr. Henry also joins with numerous
other House members who are opposed
to interiocking directorates among
banks. railroads, and Industrial cor
porations. and 1t is practically certain
that the antitrust bill will prohibit
them.
Holding companies. price fixing. over
capitalization. and combinations be-
tween railroads and Industrial corpora
tions are conditions Of which the anti
trust bill will treat and II Is well
recognized that the Administration will
insist upon a comprehensive program
of antitrust legislation soon after the
regular session begins work.
