LABOR ELEMENT

Washington, D. c., July 9.-All ef-
forts in the senate today to alter or
eliminate the labor exemption clause
of the sundry civil bill section, provid-
ing funds for the enforcement of the
antitrust law, were voted down. Two
roll calls put the senate on record in
favor of the exemption clause, which
caused the veto of the last sundry bill
by President Taft and which President
Wilson, in memorandum made when he
signed the same measure, character
lied as "uniustihable in character and
principle"
The clause provides that no part
of the fund shall be spent in prosecu-
ton "of any organization or individual
for entering into any combination or
agreement having in view the increas-
ing of wages, shortening Of hours or
bettering the conditions of labor, or
for any act done in furtherance there
of, not in itself unlawful" Cooperative
farmers organizations are also exempt
ed. The bill also carried an appropri-
alton of S11, 100000.

tic views of business conditions were
presented to President Wilson today
by Henry Ford, the Detroit manufac-
turer, in a hours conference. Ford
told the president he saw no evidence
of any sort of business depression,
psychological or otherwise, and that
it was his opinion that business was
better all the time. There is absolute
" nothing wrong with business, Ford
told the president. The only trouble
is some people are pessimistic. If
every one would only cheer up this ca

Ford and that he had been further
in his determination to
push the trust program at the present

business depression was unworthy of |
denial.
