ANTITRUST BILLS
TO Be PUT THROUGH
House Caucus Results in Pro-
gram to Pass Certain
Measures. PIN

Washington. May l3 The House to-
day began adjusting itself to the new
legislative program OF concentration on
antitrust bills and appropriation mea-
snres with adjournment in contempl;l-
tion by July 10. The date is tentative
but administration leaders hope to ad-
journ by that time.
House leaders under the caucus
bound program will insist that the Gov
ington antitrust bill, the clayton anti
trust bin and the Rayburn bin for
federal regulation of railroad stocks
and bonds be passe1 In the order
named. or at least voted on and sent
over to the Scrii::.
This Is the fixed program ut the in
sistance OF President Wilson but it will
not necessarily preclude consideration
of other matters that may be deemed
urgent If there is sufficient time before
the tentative adjournment date.
Senator Cunmins predicted the trust
bill which was framed by II sub-com-
mittec of the Senate Interstate com
merce commission and is pending be-
fore that committee. would be reported
to the Senate without much change
All indications point to prolonged trust
debate. Many senators insist the House
bills are weak and inadequate And
the Senate is not likely to stand for
them
AppToHIlation DlIIS VIII be expedited,
but will give right of way to the anti :
trust bills.
The appropriations committee to-
day framed an emergency deficiency
bill to provide funds to meet the osti :
mates recently submitted by the war
department aGgregating almost So
0O0,O 900 for expenses. past and ilnmedi
ate and future. on account of activi
ties in Mexico and on the border. This
also will not be interfered with and
the diplomatic and consular appropria- :
ton bill probably will be disposed OF
tomorrow.
1t was declared in some quarters to-
day that efforts would be made later
to bring up the resolution for a nation
wide prohibition amendment to the
constitution.
