SEES NO NEED OF
TRUST LAW CHANGE
Felix H. Levy Quotes The Tribune
in UNFOLDING Sherman Act
as Ii Stands.


Washington. Feb 3.-That the Sherman
law needs nc amendment defining mon0p-
DIV and has not been weakened by the
so-called rule Of reason of the Supreme
Court was exhaustively argued before the
House Judiciary Committe to-day by
Felix II. Levy. a New York lawyer. and
recently associate government counsel IN
the Tobacco trust cases.
Agreeing with an editorial in The New
York Tribune. which he quoted. Mr.. Levy
contended that when the Democratic
platform plank striking at the rule Of
reason was written the true situation
had not developed. and that there existed
to-day no necessity for carrying out TINS
particular platform declaration.
While Mr.. Levy spoke earnestly before
the judiciary Committee. Seth Low. pres
ident of the National Civic Federation
suggested changes in the Trade Comms-
SION bill pending before the Interstate
Commerce Committee.
After reviewing the history of the Sher-
man law and the years of litigation when
followed its passage, litigation which, he
said. might be renewed by careless
amendments. Mr.. Levy said.
The statement of the Democratic ma
tional platform asserts that the rule OF
reason in the oil and tobacco cases weak
ened the antitrust statute. l submit. how
ever, that when the platform was written
the true situation had not az yet been
developed, for it was later that the CIR
cumstances arose which made 1t clear
that the rule of reason had not weakened
the Sherman law.
An interesting admission of his fact,
and. if | may say so, a strong jd5tlhca-
ton Of the claim that the Democratic
party is absolved from observing this
plank of its last national platform is
found in the fact that The New-York
Tribune. a recognized organ Of the Re
publican party, IN an issue OF recent
date January Is. 1914, said:
The Democratic platform, 10 carry
out which the antitrust laws are being
drafted. was written before the present
situation arose
"Inasmuch as this statement Is made
by a leading Republican organ, IT indl-
Gates that no Republican opposition can
be based upon the contention that the
Democratic party is compelled TO carry
out this particular requirement of It's
platform, because, as The Tribune cor
rectly says. that PLANK in the platform
was written before the present situation
arose"
Seth Low presented A tentative draft of
a bill prepared by himself. Professor J. W.
jerks and others for an Interstate trade
commission The federaton's bill would
define just what information gathered by
the commission should be made public.
Limited publicity was the keynote OF
Mr.. Lows recommendations In cases OF
limited liability he believed the public
was entitled to know the exact financial
conditions OF the corporation. but ne did
not believe in publishing broadcast con-
fidential information. except IN certain
cases He insisted that with the APP
proval of the Attorney General. corpora
lions should have the right TO require
the commission to investigate them at Z
time they selected.
