URGES INTERSTATE
TRADE Commission
Recommendation Made by Uni-
ted States Chamber of Conn
merce in Report.

WASHINGTON, April Ia. - The
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States today submitted to its 543 con-
stltuent bodies for referendum the
report of the special committee APP
pointed at its last annual meeting
here to consider proposed antitrust
legislation. The report deals pri-
marily with the bill now pending in
Congress to create an interstate trade
commission. Seven definite recon-
mendations are offered for the ap-
proval or d.sapproval of the organiza-
tions affiliated with the Chamber of
Commerce, and they are given forty
five days in which to record their
votes.
The report recommends the crea-
tion of an interstate trade commis-
sion of at least five members to be
appointed by the President; that the
jurisdiction of the commission in
conducting Investigation extend to
all corporations engaged in interstate
or foreign commerce, except such as
are amenable to the Interstate COM
merce Commission; that the coInmis-
sion should not now be given author
ity TO advise applicants the legality
of proposed contracts combinations,
etc, Under the Sherman law; that in
the annual reports made to the CONF
mission, corporations ought not to
be required to disclose trade proc
esses, shop costs, profits, names OF
customers or other like private in
formations; that the publication Of
facts obtained by the commission be
confined to such as are to the public
interest, and that Congress should
direct the commission to Investigate
and report at the earliest practicable
date on the advisability Of amending
the Sherman act. The report also
recommended that the annual reports
of corporations, if required be con-
fined at the outset to those of the
larger corporations having capital re-
sources of $4,000, 900 or more, or 10
those having an annual income OF
81 500, 600.
All these recommendations are enl-
bodied in the referendum submitted
today, and when the votes have been
recorded will be public, representing
the view of the Chamber Of Conn
merce relative to the proposed inter-
state trade commission.
