ANTITRUST BILL
 READY FOR HOUSE
Several Provisions Do Not Ap-
 pear In Senata'S Measure.

The long delayed fight for trust legis' lation began ill the house when Chair man Clayton of the committee on the judiciary moved special rule for the consideration of tho omnibus antitrust bill which the committee ordered to a favorable report.
 The bill is substantially similar to the Clayton bill already made public. but it differs In many particulars from the trust bill drafted by the subcom mittee of eight in the senate commit tee on interstate and foreign com merce.
 Among the provisions of the house bill which do not appear in the senate measure are several relating to ''un fair commercial practices" and "defini tions' of specific acts forbidden by the sherman law. These include prohibi- ton of territorial discrimination in selling prices, with a possible fine of $5 ,OOO or Imprisonment for one year In the same way coal mine Is for bidden to refuse to sell to responsible applicants for purchase and stipulation in contracts for sale tending to bind the buyer to the exclusive use of the sellers goods are prohibited.
 fnterlocking directorates of two or more banks, any one of wLich has de posits, capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating more than $2.5OO, GOO, are forbidden. Interlocking offl cials are also sweepingy forbidden to banks in cities and towns of more than 100000 population. Other prohibitions of similar sort contained in the sen ate bill are embodied in the Clayton draft. sE.

HELP FULL SALARIES

HELP FULL SALARIES
Philadelphia, May 26.-John Wan
amaker settled definitely today the
question in the public mind as to
whether the employees of his Philadel-
phia store who are to have entire
Saturdays off during July and Aug
ust, would receive six days pay for
five days work. In a statement issued
to the United Press today, Wanna
maker said:
Employees will all receive their full
salaries. Holidays are holidays and
not losses to the people who get
them. If they we're losses, they would
not be holidays"
Other Philadelphia department
stores, if they intend following Wanna
makers example of full Saturday
closing, are unwilling to make any.
statements on the subject until abso-
lutte decision has been made.

heads interviewed on the closing
plan would permit the use of their
names, but all discussed the plan
freely. Their impression was that
before the summer was far gone
practically every big store in New
York would fall in line for the innoYa-
ton.

kind if they have sense enough left
to put honesty and merit above cent.
If the long continued struggle for
cents and properties had not sub
merged all their better attributes of
human nature, there would be more
forcefuI and hopeful signs in the
horizon. DR.. Frances Dickinson.

NEW YORK SHOP GIRLS TO HAVE
A REAL SUMNER l..
New York, May 26.-Thousands on
thousands Of New York shop girls
and clerks will have such a summer
this year as never before through a
Saturday closing and short hours
plan to be put into effect June 15>by
several of the biggest stores of the
metropolis.
John Wanamaker's, Altman's, Lord
& Taylor's and, it is understood, Nc
Creery's and other great establish
ments will close entirely on Satur-
days for at least two months. Be
sides this some of the great empor-
poriUms will open their doors at nine
o'clock every morning during the
summer and will close at five.
None of the big stores will reduce
the wages of their employees. Neither
will the new policy in any way affect
the usual vacations which, according
to term of service, will range to a
maximum of two weeks.
Until the public accustoms itself
to the change" said an official of
Wanamaker's, ''the stores which plan
this innovation will face a definite
loss. When the public understands
and, we hope, appreciates-what
we are trying to do, we feel that loss
will cease. AS a matter of fact we
believe the plan ultimately will show
a cash profit. There is no doubt that
the efficiency of our employees will be
greatly increased. We believe they
will be pleased with the efforts in
their behalf made by this and other
stores. We believe also that an i'm
preston will be created on the pub
lie mind which will bear fruit"
