First of the Administration
Trust Measures Introduced
by Rep. Stanley
ELIMINATES THE
"RULE OF REASON"
As Laid Down by the United States
Supreme Court-Would Give Circuit
Court Jurisdiction to Restrain and
Prevent Violation of Act.

WASHINGTON. Jan. H. Repre-
sentative stanley of Kentucky, after
a conference with President Wilson in
troduced late Yesterday amend
ment to the sherman law which would
mike illegal the monopolization or re-
straint of trade Gin any degree. 1t
is designed to eliminate the .'ruie of
reason laid down by the supreme
court in the Standard OIL case
The amendment also would invest
the circuit courts of the United state
with jurisdiction 10 restrain and pre-
vent violations Of the act, irrespective
OF the attornev general. 1t was drawn
to meet the wish of the President ex-
pressed in his last MESA &c 10 Congress
to reduce the debatahle area surround
ing the Sherman act. Representative
Stanley discussed the measure with the
President yesterday and previously
correspondent with him at length on
| the subject.
| The Kentucky congressman, who was
| chairman of the special committee
which investigated the United States
Steel corporation. does net offer the
measure as an administrative measure
but believes it Will be of service TO the
committees OF Congress which will
draft the antitrust legislation after
the President : special trust message
lis delivered next week.
The Stanley bill would amend tbs
| second and fourth sections of the Sher
man law. In section >. into which thu
supreme court injected the rule o.
reason, the words in any degree
are inserted 50 that the section woul'
| read Every person who shall monoP
ollie or attempt to monopoliza or com
hIne or consplre with amy other per
son or persons to monopollze in any dc
gree any part of the trade or com
merce among the several states or wit
foreign nations. shall lac deemed guilt
, of a misdemeauor, and, on convictio
thereof shall ie punished by fine nc

exceeding $4,000, or by Imprisonment
mot exceeding one year or by both said
punishments in the discretion of the
court.
Discussing that portion of Chief JUS
tiee Whites decision which relates to
unreasonable restraint of trade,
Representative Stanley said last night
that he had always regarded it as un-
necessary to the decision, and. there
fore not the law
Many, however. believe he con
tinued, ''that the effect of this decision
is to render Illegal only such eombina-
tions in restraint of trade as are un.
reasonable. The insertion of the
words in any degree with the other
provisions will save tho law as amend
ed from any such Interpretation and
viii render all restraints of trade IL
