senator hitchcock, acting chairman of
the banking and currency committee to-
day put one over on the supporters of
the nomination Of Thomas D. Jones of
Chicago as member of the federal re-
serve board He introduced an amend
ment to the pending trade commission
bill which reads as follows:
mo person shall be eligible for the
position Of member of the federal reserve
Soard or member of the federal trade
commission or for any other position of
honor subject to appointment by the
President who is a director. manager,
trustee or other officer of a corporation
operating in violation of the antitrust
laws of the United States or of any
state or resisting in court the enforce
ment of the same"
Would Be Ineligible.
Mr.. Jones is a director of the har-
vester trust" which has been driven
out of Missouri because of the violation
of the antitrust laws. and he is one of
the defendants named in the suit of the
United States government against the
trust as a violator of the law. Should
Senator Hitchcock's amendment be
adopted Mr.. Jones would. Of course, be
reserve board, to which the President has
appointed him.
1t is thought that administration sena-
tors, no matter how much they desire to
of Mr.. Jones. will have some difficulty in
voting against the Hitchcock amendment
Says Opposition Grows.
Senator Hitchcock who has just re-
turned to Washington. declared that he
thought the opposition to Jones' conf1r-
nation was growing; that sentiment
throughout the west and middle west
was making itself felt. He said that he
should be surprised If less than a dozen
democratic senators voted against Mr..
Jones in the Senate.
Calls Majority Report Unfair.
Senator Blair Lee of Maryland, one Of
the committeeman supporting Mr.. Jones,
made public last night a report that he
will submit to the Senate. He referred
to the majority report as unfair" in
several particulars, and declared:
That the majority of the committee
are bent on extreme measures. that their
attitude is a dagerOus one toward both
the peace and industry of the country,
is evident from their criticism of this
nominee"
Referring to Mr.. Jones relations with
the harvester company Senator Lee as
serted:
Every act of Mr.. Jones in connection
with the company seems to have been
entirely proper. and to have been a part
Of a general business experience, Well
qualifying him to protect the. public In
terest as a member of the federal re-
serve board. He expressly states that he

him have restrained a monopoly from

the belief that the President does not
knowingly permit his administration to
