CLAYTON BILL Is OPPOSED
BUT WILL PASS SENATE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 20.-Exemp-
! ton of labor organizations and farm
ers' associations from prosecutions un-
der the Sherman antitrust law has
halted progress through the senate Of
the Clayton bill supplementing the
Sherman law.
Senator Pomerene, democrat, OF
Ohio, led in the assault on this provis-
ion of the bill, which, he contended.
made a special class of such organiza-
tions and set them above and beyond
the law. Senator Hughes of New Jer-
sey and Cummins of Iowa defended
the exemption provisions with the con-
tention that labor had to work to eat
and clothe itself for what it could get
and organizations were justified when
conducted for mutual improvement
The Clayton bill was drafted to pre-
vent abuse of the injunction privileges
of the courts by requiring jury trials
for contempt. 1t provides also That
labor organizations may conduct
peaceable boycotts, strike and induce
others to quit work or TO return TO
work by peaceable methods.

are prohibited under the bill from ac-
quiring stock in a competing company
for the purpose of controlling it and
restricting competition.
Passage of the bill is certain, be
cause it has the backing of President
Wilson, being part Of his plan to curb
business without llampering legitimate
enterprise, but delay will be caused by
the opposition.

TODAY'S MARKET QUOTATIONS

and rains fell in Illinois, Indiana, Wis
consin, Kansas. Missouri and Iowa and
Nebraska. The rains in southern Hi
nois. Kansas. Missouri and Nebraska
were half inch rains. Guesses on the
corn crop vary 2OO,OOO,OO0. On basis
OF rains and the recent advance corn
is probably in line for a &c reaction.
We may raise 1850. 100000 to 1900
OOO, 600 corn after all. We think pro-
fits on long grains can be taken.
Would also await a reaction in pro-
ducts. Wheat strength has run ses-
sions. 1t may outlast another day but
investors will hardly rush in on this
bulge We have some very poor corn
reports from sections this morning.
but on the whole the average reports
are fairly good considering the eX-
tended drouth spells. Map is bearish
on corn. Cool everywhere, rains of
10 to 80 on average. Good corn map.
II corn declines on this map, oats will
likely be affected.
