HOLDING COMPANY
MEASURE FRAMED
Administration Bill Carries
Out personal Guilt" Pro-
gram to Check Trusts.

The fourth of the antitrust bills en-
trusted to the House Judiciary Com
mittee is public today, Chairman Clay
ton and his colleagues having firtsheo
the draft Of the holding company
bill. This bill will be introduced by
Mr. Clayton. The measure has the ap-
proval OF the Administration.
The bill seeks to prohibit holding
companies which tend to eliminate or
lessen competition and carries out the
personal guilt slogan of the entI-
trust program. Violations Of the pro-
posed law may be punished by a flne
not exceeding 5000. one years I'm
prisonment or both.
The BILL framed by Congressman
Clayton, Carlin and Floyd, would no,
destroy legitimate holding companies
which do not interfere with competI-
ton but it provides:
That 1t shall be unlawful for one
corporation engaged in interstate and
fore gn commerce to acquire. directly
or indirectly, the whole, or any part, of
oeher corporation engaged also In in
