BILL IS ATTACKED
SENATOR REED DIRECTS ATTEN'
TON TO "uNFAIR CON-
PETITION"
SUGGESTION HAS FRIENDS
Reed Declares That Competition Fea
ture Of Trade Commission Bill
Would Dispei Public Sentiment
in Favor of Trust Laws.

Washington.-Att the admin
istration interstate trade commission
bill on the floor of the senate, Senator
Reed of Missouri. democratic member
OF the Judiciary committee, urged that
the interstate commerce and judiciary
committees should get together to
work out the trust legislation jointly,
with view of consolidating all pend.
ing measures on the subject.
Senator Reeds attack, directed par.
ticularly at the section relating to
unfair competition" was followed by
assaults from other members Of the
Judiciary committee, and later it de.
yeloped that an unsuccessful effort
had already been made by the inter
state commerce committee to have the
Judiciary committee cooperate with
1t. Senators Reed and Hoke Smith OF
Georgia were reported to have looked
with favor on the suggestion, but 9th.
er members of the judiciary commit
tee declined to yield sole jurisdiction
over the Clayton antitrust bill.

Food in ScotIond.

Now that the Scottish holiday sea.
son is just about to begin there is q
controversy In the North as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies of Scotland
for their patrons from England. 1t
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and that some of the southerners re-
sent this. They want more vegeta-
bles, for instance, and greater va
riety of them. They demand turnip
tops "a luxury rarely consumed north
Of the Tweed, save by Sheep. and
ask, why no spinach?" Also they
want heavy supper, likewise BEER.
The complaining controyerslalists
say II is case OF ham and eggs for
breakfast, midday dinner and high
tea to conclude the meals of the day.
AS for beer. they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts look
askance at people who wish beer sent
in. So far the only reply Of Scotland
to the faalt.finders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat what
the Scots eat and get their beer out
side.--London Chronicle.
