of All Restraints of Trade--Courts
Can't Decide.

Washington, Jan. 30-First public
hearings on the new trust bills We're be-
gun yesterday before the House Judiciary
committee. The bill defining restraints
of trade prohibited by the Sherman law
was taken up. Representative Stanley,
who has introduced bill making every
restraint of trade whether reasonable
or unreasonable" a violation of law,
made long argument on clearing up the
twilight zone" He contended that
prior to the Standard Oil and Tobacco
cases the supreme court had repeatedly
held that ii was outside of its province
to determine whether restraint was
"due or undue, reasonable OF unreason-
able" and declared that in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco cases the reasonable
and unreasonable" feature of the de-
cisions was merely Incidental. "The only
act that can be effective" said Mr. Stan.
ley, is an absolute prohibition Of all re-
straints of trade. For it is beyond the

termine the question of facts as to
whether a restraint is reasonable or I'M

"Let Girls and Boys Play"-Jane Adams

Chicago, Jan. 30.-"The way to save
girls is to allow them to play with
boys" is the conclusion Of Jane Adams
Girls schools and boys schools, she be-
lieves, lead to too much sentimentality.
young girls should be allowed to play
with boys at every natural, easy healthy
opportunity that is possible" said Miss
Adams. 'If boys and girls in the for
NATIVE age are together right along in
normal association they viii be less
sentimental than they would if their
being together were a matter of novelty.
u do not favor any unnatural diver
sion Of boys and girls into separate
groups. Where the girl needs instrue-
ton in social life is in her relations to
men. The best results in this may be
gained, it seems to me through associa-
ton in recreation"

 The directors always deliberated care fully when the matter of declaring divi- dend came up MT. Cuyler added.

"re- quires a yea and nay vote on matters of this kind, so that the votes are matter of record At no time during the period I have been a director has a dividend been declared that in my opinion was not justified by the reports that came to us from the accounting department
 Arthur E. Clark, secretary of the New Haven, was summoned for the purpose of identifying minutes setting forth the West Chester transaction.
 Julian M. Thompson, auditor of the New Haven, questioned by MT. Hines, said the New Haven on June 30, 1903, showed profit and loss surplus of s13,S19, 565.66. On June 30, 1912, he said the profit and loss surplus was s12575,41.
 "So, instead of the New Haven running behind s60 000,0 900 during that time,' he was asked: "It really ran behind only about $1, 300, 000?"
 That is correct
 What was done in the matter of de- preciation of equipment prior to 19O7?" Large amounts were charged to profit and loss.'

 agreed to after conferences between them and representatives of the ad- ministration were looked upon as the continuation of long fight by labor to secure exemption under the Sherman law. They provide that nothing in the antitrust laws shall be construed to forbid the existence and operation" of labor and farmers unions. and that such organizations and their members shall not be construed or held to be Illegal combinations or conspiracies under the antitrust laws" How far the exemption will extend was a matter of debate in the House. and ssmany mem- bers contended the question would re- suit in long litigation.
 Restrictions Close
 The restrictions placed about the is- suence of injunctions in the bill are close. It would provide that no preliminary in- junction shall be issued without notice to the opposite party" and that no tenn porary restraining order shall be issued unless it shall appear from specific facts shown by affidavit that immediate and irreparable injury will result to property a property right of the applicant be- fore notice could be served or hearing had thereon. The bill provides that every injunction or restraining order must be specific in terms, thus outlawing the so- called blanket injunction
 In labor disputes injunctions would be forbidden by the bill "unless necessary to prevent irreparable injury to property or a property right" for which injury there is no adequate remedy at law It would also forlfd injunctions against striking, peaceful picketing.. primary boy cotts, the payment of strike benefits, or the peaceful assemblagA of strikers, and contains provision legalizing such acts.
 The holding companies provision of the act would prevent one company from acquiring any stock in another corpora tion ''where the effect of such acqus- tion is to eliminate or substantially lessen competition between the corporations, or to create a monopoly The provision ex- empts, however, corporations purchasing stock solely for investment, and not at tempting to lessen competition.
 Interlocking Directorates
 The interocking directorates prohibit tion in the bill is an effort to reach all corporations, railroads and banks over which the federal government has juris- diction. 1t prohibits director An con- cern dealing in supplies for common car riers, from being a director in such com mon carriers; prohibits a director in a bank from being director in a common carrier for which the bank acts as an agent or underwriter: directors in pri- vate or state banks, having deposits cap ital. surplus and undivided profits of more than s2,5o0.0o0, ineligible as directors in banks in the national system; and makes ineligible as national bank directors the directors of private and state banks in the same city or town.

DEFENDS POLICY OF
 DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Senator Reed Attacks So- Called Calamity Howl
 CTS" in Speech

Washington, June 5.--A defense of the legislative policy of the democratic party since 1t assumed control of the national administration and a bitter denunciation of "calamity howlers" and those who speak of business de- pression and lay it at democracy's door marked a speech in the Senate today by Senator Reed of Missouri.
 "The democratic party seems to be in this situation at the present time" said Senator Reed. ''If it passes a bill restoring confidence to the financial situation and the stock market re- spends the gentlemen on the other side of the aisle rise up and roll their eyes and froth at the mouth in a fine frenzy and declare it has surrendered itself to the great financial interests But if trust or other combination sets up a wall we are immediately denounced as enemies of all legitimate business
 The senator began with an attack on the General Motors company and : one of its subsidiaries, whose presi- dent recently criticized Congress in a letter appearing in the Congressional Record In this letter Congress was charged with being responsible for business depression. Senator Reed de- clared the motors company was a criminal trust" and an unlawful com bination.
 Asks Investigation
 T am publicly calling the attention of the Attorney General of the United States to this company" the senator said, "and asking him to investigate and take the necessary steps for its dissolution" said the senator. He pro- duced financial statements showing the company had net earnings of several million dollars each year for several years past and commented on the fact that with such a showing any man should criticize Congress for the lack Of business.
 Senator Reed quoted stock market quotations to show Nthat business is increasing and that stocks are higher and sales greater than a year ago
 Senators Smith and Townsend of Michigan, republicans, answered Sem ator Reed. Senator Townsend took is sue with the Missouri senator on the question of the need for further legis- lation by Congress.
 This country is suffering from too much ill l-digested and speculative leg islation," said Senator Townsend.

MILITANTS PLACE
 ENGLAND ON TRIAL

London, June 6.-The Times today says the militant problem is placing the British people on trial in the eyes of other na- tions. The editorial says it is much easier to demand that the government do some thing than to say what it Is not to do. It adds that all suggestions of deporta- ton and violent punishments. like flog- ging are impracticable.
 'The proposal to prosecute subscribers to suffragette funds would be more pur- poseful, but even that presents difficult ties" adds the Times.
 "The proposal to allow hunger strikers to starve is common sense. but the view cannot be adopted because the prison au- thorities are legally responsible for the lives of prisoners. The remedy seems to be to pass an act of Parliament reliev- ing them of responsibility for prisoners refusing food"
