TRUST EXEMPTIONS FOUGHT.
Merchants Association Opposes Hill
Favored by Labor Unions.

The Bartlett Bacon bill now before
Congress to exempt labor unions and
agricultural organizations from the opera =
ton of the Sherman antitrust law is
being fought by the Merchants Associa-
tion. That body has asked the National
Chamber of Commerce, which includes the
leading commercial organizations In the
United States, TO conduct a referendum on
the proposed bill for the purpose of uniting
the sentiment against the measure.
Henry r. Towne, president of the Yale
ToWne Manufacturing Company. dis
cussing the proposed bill yesterday said:
1.-THE bill proposes to set apart organ
lied labor and agriCuturists in class by
themselves and to exempt them from the
operation of laws to which all other citi-
zens are amenabe 1t would give indi
viduals of this favored class liberty not
only to combine together for promoting
their mutual interests, as is entirely
proper, but also to combine to inJure, or
destroy if they could. the legitimate bust
ness OF any corporation. any firm, or any
person who might be unfortunate enough
| to incur their i'll will. 1t denies to the
Federal courts the right to use the In
junctive process for the restraint of such
acts when committed by the members OF
this favored class. The frankly avowed
purpose of the iniquitous law thus pro.
posed II so subversive of the Fundamental
! rights OF all other citizens and the opera
! ton of the law would be so damaging IN
! it's effects on most. II not all, OF the mem
beers OF the Merchants Association that In
my opinion the association Is justified In
using all legitimate means to prevent Its
! enactment"
