REFERENDUM
ON BUSINESS PROBLEMS
U. S. Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee Finds Congress Anx-
ious for Advice.

The special committee Of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States. ap-
pointed to prepare a referendum for the
business bodies Of the nation on anti
trust legislation now before Congress ad-
journed last night, after holding ses-
sions for four days at the national head
quarters Of the organization in the Riggs
building.
The committee. of which R. G. Rhett
of Charleston, S. c., is chairman, is ex-
pected to meet again in Washington In
two or three weeks.
The committee considered many sug-
gestions received from individual and
organization members, discussed them
and took up some of the points in the
informal conferences with congressional
committees. The committee has pre-
pared in set form the various principles
involved in the proposed legislation and
will have those principles prepared as
first draft at once, so as to permit Of
their deliberate consideration by the
members of the committee.
Two Referendums Planned.
There is no purpose ON the part of the
committee to fix the final form of the
referendum hurriedly: it is distinctly
convinced, however, that its duty will
not be performed un.ess two referendums
are put out. The first will deal ex
clusively with the principles involved
IN the proposed interstate trade commits
sion and the second, which will be un-
dertaken when the committee meets
again. will deal with all other questions
invoIved in pending antitrust legislation.
The members Of the committee found
that on some points they were not
unanimous. and in such cases both sides
of the features under discussion will
be set forth for the consideration and
verdict Of the business bodies Of the ma
ton.
Mr.. Rhett stated before leaving the city
that tho whole attitude of the commit
tees Of Congress impressed the special
committee with the desire of the lesis-
lators to receive he pful suggestions from
the business world. The committee is
convinced that in the matter of antitrust
legislation there Is no intention to pro-
ceed to u hasty conclusion.
