WASHINGTON, May "a split
between President Wilson and the
union labor advocates in the house
was so wide tonight as to emperil sue
cess of the Administrations anti
trust program. The labor men have
taken the executive at his word that
he will veto any trust bills reaching
him which specifically exempt labor.
Instead OF abandoning the program
however, they are more than ever de-
termined that 1t be carried out They
insist that they have votes to amend
the Clayton omnibus measure from
the floor of the house and to incor-
porate in 1t the very specific exemp-
ton opposed by the president. AS a
result, tonight 1t appeared gloomy
for anti trust legislation-other than
the possible enactment Of measure
creating the interstate trade commit
tee at the present session. Influen-
tial senators without regard to party
are known to be aiding the insurrec-
ton in the house. They 40 not want
the senate on record at the present
session. They prefer that the entire
question OF clearing UP the debatable
ground surrounding the Sherman law,
should go over to the short session
beginning In December. Meanwhile
charges OF bad faith are being uttered
by the house and labor group. The
latter declare that ever since the
democratic convention in 1904, democ-
racy has been pledged to absolute
exemption.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor and other lead
ers insist that they were promised by
the president while he was still a
candidate, that the demands of labor
along this line would be met. This is
emphatically denied at the white
house. According to the white house,
the whole trouble is due to the activ-
