Changes in Big Lines.
From The Tribune Buresu1

Washington, June 5.-After two
weeks debate the House passed to-day
the three bills constituting the admin
istration's antitrust programme. No
rollcall was demanded on the Coving
ton bill TO establish an interstate trade
commission. Representative Murdock.
Progressive leader. offered a motion to
recommit with instructions 10 bring in
the Progressive party's bill. The mo-
tion was overwhelmingly defeated and
the administration bill passed on viva
VoCe vote.
The CLAYTON bill, covering interlock-
ing directorates, holding companies.
price determinations and the pro-labor
provisions, was passed by vote Of 2Io
TO ~. Representative White. an Ohio
Democrat, voted against the party pro-
gramme.
The Adamson- Rayburn bill, giving
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Jurisdiction over the issuance Of rail
way stocks and bonds and prohibiting
interlocking directorates among COM
mon carriers after two years without
the express consent OF the commission,
was passed 325 TO -. There was lit
tie opposition to this measure on the
minority side. 4 few states rights
Democrats made repeated efforts to
amend the bill so as TO set out specih-
cally the rights of state railroad COM
missions. but all changes were voted
down.
Republicans who voted for the Clay
ton bill, the principal measure, did not
thereby signify their full appreciation
Of the measure as drawn. but the mi
nority members who are not opposed TO
trust legislation depend upon the Sem
ate to corrC What defects may exist
in the Democratic bill.
The Adamson- -Rayburn railway Sc
curities bill as adopted is a substitute
for the bill originally brought in by the
Interstate Commerce Committee. This
substitute, offered to-day and ap-
proved, contains a revised section re-
lating to interlockng directorates
among railroads which is perhaps the
most important provision in the bill.
1t will directly affect many OF the prin-
cipal systems Of the country and will
bring about radical changes in direc-
torates.
The bill also embraces a similar per
sOnal guilt" clause applying to railroad
officers who permit the issuance of
stocks and bonds contrary to the pro-
visions Of the proposed law giving the
Interstate Commerce Commission juris-
diction over such issues.
