new TRUST LAWS To
Be READY This week
Judiciary and Interstate Commerce
Committees Putting Finishing
Touches to Proposed Bills.
TO SUPPLEMENT SHERMAN ACT

\ part of the redrafted trust legislation
Judiciary and Interstate Commerce Com
mittees, which have the matter in charge.
Chairman Clayton. assisted by Repre-
sentatives Carlin and Floyd. are putting
finishing touches to the bills prohibiting
interiocking directorates. and defining
what constitutes restraint OF trade. The
committee will exempt from operation of
the interlocking directorate bill the direc-
tories of national banks in connection
with savings banks and associations.
Much testimony has been given to prove
that the best interest of savings insti-
tuition lie I'm official directory connections
with national banks.
Trouble is being experienced by the
committee in fashioning the restraint Of
trade bill SO as to make IL supplementary
to and not amendatory of the Sherman
antitrust law. The committee does not
want to leave An opening through its new
bill for another attack on the Sherman
law and lengthy litigation that would
follow.
The House Commerce Committee hopes
to complete the bills creating the Federal
trade commission and regulating through
the Interstate Commerce Commission the
issue of new securities by railroads. The
trade commission will have authority to
pass on whether certain acts by COM
mon carriers are in restraint OF trade.
but no authority over rates. operation. or
finances of the railroads.
Each of the committees framing trust
legislation will continue hearings on DIFF
ferent phases of the question until the
bills are finally drafted and presented
In perfected shape to the House.
