REPUBLICANS WILL LET
TRUST Bills THROUGH
There Will Be No Filibuster." Says
Senator Smoot-''We Have Re-
election Campaigns at Home"
PREDICTS EARLY ADJOURNMENT

Republican leaders in the Senate let the
Democratic side know yesterday that
there will be no filibuster on the trust
bills
Senator Smoot believes the country ex-
poets the administration to legislate. and
under the circumstances he is willing
they should have the responsibility.
Il intend to object to the introduction
of any bills or resolutions or the trans
action Of any business in the Senate ex-
Cept necessary appropriations and confer
ence reports until the trust bills are
passed" said Senator Smoot. There will
be no flibuster."
Senator SmOot expects an early ad-
journment now. He said the Republicans
were Just as anxious as the Democrats
TO get home. Many OF the Republican
leaders have campaigns for reelection.
| Senators Smoot, Brandegee, GaIlinger,
Penrose Cummins Dillingham;, Sherman,
Gronna. Bristow and Jones are among
those Republicans who have a fight ahead
for reelection.
With seven hours each day given solely
to trust legislation debate. the Democrats
think they can soon end the discussion.
Under the circumstances there are predic-
tions OF an adjournment not later than
September l. and probably as early as
August 8.
Senator Weeks, Of Massachusetts,. made
the principal speech on the trust bills
yesterday.
Able constitutional arguments were ad-
vanced by the lawyers Of the Senate on
the question whether the words unfair
competition are sufficiently definite to
stand the test OF the courts as to con-
stitutionality.
Senator Weeks, in stating his opposition
to the trust bills. said: There Is no
public demand for 1t. This is evidenced
by the failure OF business men to ap-
pear before either the judiciary Com
mittee OF the House or the Interstate
Commerce Committee OF the Senate in
its advocacy, and by the general express
sions Of boards of trade and chambers OF
commerce all over the United States in
favor OF a policy of much more careful
and thorough investigation being made
before any action is taken, even assum-
ing that 1t is desirable to legislate on the
subject"
