trust bills there was manRuvring at both
ends OF the Capitol to-day I'm the contests
for the glory and responsibility of hand
ling these measures, indications Of in

state Commerce held a confab with mem

showed no disposition 10 yield Jurisdiction
70 the Senate Committee on Judiciary
headed by Senator Overman.
on the House side, the Interstate Com
merce Committee. whose chairman Is
Representative Adamson, jealously guard
cd its right 10 report the bill creating an
interstate trade commission, notwith-
standing its introduction by Mr.. Clayton,
of the House Judiciary Committee. The
AGemson committee will also prepare the
bill regulating the stock and bond issues
Of railroads.
Democrats OF the House Interstate
Commerce Committee are tentatively IN
clincd TO take still another bill from the
Judiciary Committee. They contend that
lnterlocking directories legislation Is
properly an interstate trade matter. and
that the Judiciary Committee has
stretched a point by assuming jurisdic-
ton of this measure. This question will
be cleared up by agreement or fight the
result now being in doubt
Samuel Jrntermyer, formerly counsel for
the Puio money trust investigating COM
rnittee. was about the House all day con-
ferring with members Of the Judiciary
Committee and the Interstate Commerce
Committee Mr.. Cntermyer wants the
powers Of the proposed interstate trade
commission broadened, and he outlined
his views TO Chairman Adamson, who ad-
vised him 10 return when the public hear
ings are begun. The attorney received
no definite assurances.
Mr. Untermyer also desires some of the
recommendations Of the Pujo committee,
which he prepared. included in the anti
trust programme, but he made little head
way to-day.
The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce discussed the suggestion Of ex-
pediting trust legislation by holding joint
hearings WIFI Allt JhOlN tfAl ~'a'i''i'NN
the House. Some objection was made 10
holding hearings at all, because thou
sands of pages of testimony had been
taken by the committee during the pre-
vious Congress.
The question Of jurisdiction over the
pending bills was also discussed, members
Of the Interstate Commerce Committee IN
sisting that, although the Sherman act
and commerce act had been framed by the
Judiciary Committee. they had jurisdic-
ton because the Interstate Commerce
Committee had been created after the
original laws had been enacted.
Majority members Of the Senate com
mittee appeared to be in favor of putting
the bills forward as nOn-partisan legisla-
lion and without the aid of the Demo
cratic caucus. On the ground that the
measures were entirely in the hands OF
the legislative branch and were not
framed as a matter Of party policy.
