CONTINUE ATTACK
 . ON ANTITRUST BILL
Reed, Weeks and Borah
 Criticized General Note of the Measure

Washington, October 1-Attacks upon the conference report on the Clayton antitrust bill were continued in the Senate today by Senators Reed. Weeks and Borah.. Senator Chiffon, one of the conferees, defended the re- port.
 Senator Weeks declared that the leasing system employed by the United Shoe Machinery company, one of the concerns against which the tying clause of the Clayton bill is directed, was boon to small manufacturers, who would be unable to maintain their business if forced to buy the machines which they can rent under the United companys plan. He said Louis D. Brandeis, who was instrumental in the reshaping of the Clayton bill before the Senate committee. was the attorney who attended to the legal problems of the organization of the United Shoe Machinery company. MT. Brandeis, he added, appeared before the Massachu- setts legislature for the company in opposiki&l to legislat ation designed to outlaw the tying clause" leases, which he. himself, drew.
 Senator Borah attacked the general plan of the administration antitrust programme, declaring it was a reversal of the general policy followed since the passage of the sherman antitrust law.
 Senators Norris and Sterling will speak in opposition to the conference report tomorrow, and 1t is expected a vote will be reached before the Sat urday session is ended

 This statement was in answer to ques- tions. and gives a sidelight into his pro- gramme of the future. As do the great majority of other members of the legis- lature, MT. Hill believes that 1t would be
 wise to apply business principles to the
 matter of running the government. When asked other questions, he almost dodged. For instance to one regarding the advisability of calling a constitu- tional convention, he said T think the constitution can be amend i ed where necessary

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
MT. Hill of Montgomery by Artful Answers Indicates That He Is Preparing a Serious Programme
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

William W. Hill of Montgomery who, it has been said. will become one of the leaders in the Senate, answers questions like the ancient oracle.
 "All unnecessary offices should be abol- ished, but l am not sufficiently informed at this time to name those offices which are unnecessary.
 1 Having spoken he continued:
 T am opposed to woman suffrage but am not well informed on the subject; therefore, l have no fixed opinion l have not studied the convict lease system thor- oughly. and do not know what is best to be done l would flavor making the rail- road commission a public utility commits sion If way is devised to keep it out of politics
 The Age-Herald then asked Mir. Hill: Do you think it wise for the state to 1 attempt further the regulation of the whisky busness?.
 He replied:
 T think the state should regulate the whisky business.'
 However mysterious MT. Hill might ap- pear, his friends know that he is working on a programme of relief for Alabama from certain of it's many present afflic- tions. 1t is generally understood, for in stance. that he will father a bill abolish- ing the fee system throughout Alabama not by a constitutional amendment but by legislative statute in which the coun- ties are separated into classes the basis of which is population.
 In regard to the fee system, Mir Hill declares simply that he believes it would be better for the counties to pay their employees salaries. He doesn't commit himself on this important question, and, therefore, can, without violation of con i1dence or agreement, pursue a directly opposite source in the legislature. But that he will not do so is considered cer- tain.
 Mir Hill served in the legislature in 1897 when the late Joseph F. Johnston was governor. He was recently in the public eye when he defended Theodore Lacy, the clerk of the convict department of the state. who was charged with having em- bezzied a large sum of money That he failed to clear the defendent was not at- tributable to any lack of good Judgment on his part. He has held no public office other than assistant solicitor of Mont gomery county. If he is ambitious to ac- quire a fat job. his friends do not know of it, and probably would not believe ii told.
 Mir Hill was born in Marengo county August 8, 1868 He was graduated at the University of Alabama and at Howard
