SHERMAN LAW IS GOOD
ENOUGH, SAYS F. H. LEVY
New York Lawyer Believes the
Antitrust Bills Won't
Improve 1t.

WAsHiSuToN. Feb 3.-Felix II. Levy
of New York city made long argument
on the pending antitrust bills before the
House Committee on the Judiciary to-
day.
Mr.. Levy who represented the indepen-
dent manufacturers in the tobacco trust
suit. opened his statement with a tribute
to the sherman antitrust law.
lie told the committee that lie had had
90 years experience divided between sup
porting that measure as "a member OF the
stan OF the Department of Justice and
attacking IL rs an attorney for alleged
offenders OF the law.
II regard the Sherman law as highly
beneficial to the country" he added.
II do not believe that efforts 10 amend
II will improve the measure. / fear that
their tendency would he to start new
litigation similar in character to that
which rendered the law ineffective and inef-
ncient during the first ten years Of the
twenty in which II has been oper-
alive.
AS Il basis for this contention shall
urge that the Sherman law In its present
form Is "A most drastic and efficient stat
ute and therefore does not require amend
ment a. to its substantive provisions"
He concluded his praise of the Sher-
man law by saying that the law does
not need ANY amendment hv way of
dCnnitlon or other similar NOTIFICATIONS.
EX-Mayor seth Low Of New York APP
poared before the Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce to present
his views regarding the interstate trade
commission measure. Mr.. Low told the
committee that the bill in its general
terms had his approval He took issue
with the trainers. however. in regard 10
its publicity features.
The bill. IN Mr.. Lows opinion. while
extending the virtual right OF search 10
the proposed commission. should contain
either n specific definition of the character
of the matter desired by such search
which may be made public. or should
restrict the publication Of the discoveries
such matter as either the President ol
the Aforementioned may see fit &c
make public.
Mr.. Low docs not think the bill as
drafted enforces on the interstate trade:

He told the committee that he was m
earnest advocate of tho Brandeis plan
for uniformity of accountings by corpo
rations.
Mr. Low will appear before the Ju

WASH NGToS. Feb. 3.--The Interstate
Commerce Commission has determined to
n,ik. AN inquiry into the practice Of the
carriers granting allowances and IRE. SER
vice TO certain classes of shippers before
4, will grant the per cent increase asked
b. the railroads.
The Importance of this announcement
consists In the fact that 1t means further
DELAY in the settlement OF the application
OF the railroads for an Increase. II also
indicates clearly a state of mind on the
mart of the commission which furcshadows
. rigid inquiry into every phase Of the
advance rate question.
While the commission specifically states
that It's action in ordering the new in.
duiry should not be taken TO indicate
that the carriers must necessarily adopt
this means of increasing their incomes. the
opinion Is rapidly gaining ground In
Washington that this Is the attitude
toward which the commission Is leaning.
Rebates to steel Industry suppreSsed
II was only few days ago that the
commission handed down a decision hold
ing th.l; certain allowances granted by the
railroads to the iron and steel industry.
CHIEFLY the large shippers like the steel
trust. were III the nature of rebates. The
commission ordered these allowances
stopped. and in - doing It is esti-
mated added SIS. 900. 600 year to the in
come Of the railroads. In announcing that
decision the commission said:
Before they the railroads. may fairly
ask the general public to share further
IN carrying their burdens 1t is manifest
that the railroads must themselves prop
.rlr conserve their sources of revenue by
making every service rendered by them
contribute reasonably to their earnings"

Of inquiry is
