UNSUCCESSFUL
EFFORTS To FIX
DATE FOR VOTE
Trade Commission Bill Has to
Run Gauntlet of Senate Or
atory Before Possibility of
Definite Legislative Action

ihf MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED NiREI
Washington, july q Another un-
successful effort was made by Sena-
tor Newiands late today to have the
senate fix time to vote ON the trade
commission bill and clear the way for
other Legislation on the trust program
that must be disposed Of before ad-
iournmenL 4 chorus of objections
greeted the Nevada senator's proposal
that vote be- taken tomorrow, and
diseHssiot later made Il plain that the
debate would continue into next week
Senators Works and Reed gave mo-
tice that they expected to speak on
the measure before final action.
Senator tummins continued his
speech today, and introduced five
amendments to generally broaden the
proposed commissions authority and
empower 1t TO regulate interlocking Dir
rectorates and holding companies in
connection with Industrial corpora
tions and to give the Interstate Conn
meree commission the same authority
over railroad corporations
Senator Cummins took up in detail
the objection raised by Senator Boz
rah. who opposed the bill on the
ground that while the anti-trust laws
at present were directed toward fos-
tering competition the trade commits
sion by making unfair competition
unlawful was directed to limiting com
petition. This objection he said was
in no way justified and he declared
the measure was designed to aid and
supplement the antitrust laws. In or
der to make this point clear he pro-
posed an amendment providing that
no order of the trade commission re-
specting unfair competition should
have any force or be admissible as ev-
idence, in a suit brought under the
sherman law. The amendment would
also provide.
Nor shall anything herein con
tanned be construed to alter, amend
or repeal the sherman antitrust law
or any part thereof"
