LONG SESSIONS ARE AHEAD

A minority Of the Senate Committee
on Judiciary at work yesterday consid-
ering the Clayton antitrust bill as 1t
came from the House. decided tentative
ly to strike from the measure the pro-
viso to section IA of the bill. The sec
ton allows any person. firm. corporation
or association to sue and have injunctive
relief in Federal courts against threat
ened loss or damage by violation Of
the antitrust laws.
The proviso struck out il as follows and
the committee omitted it on the theory
that Il might exempt railroads from in
junction suits m certain cases.
Provided. That nothing herein con-
tained shall be construed to entitle am
person, firm. corporation or association

in equity for injunctIve relief against

visions OF the act to regulate commerce

leembers of the committee said they
hoped to complete the Clayton bill in
committee within ten days and report
to the Senate. With the trust legislative
program before the Senate the first week
in July as it is believed it will be, six
weeks at the lowest Is the time estimated
for the consideration Of the legislation.
This would carry the session OF Con-
gress up to the middle of August and
that Is the earliest date at which any
OF the members OF the committee be-
lieve the trust bills will pass the Senate.
Congress will be In session therefore well
up TO September /. for the bill after
passing the Senate will have to go
