Mayor Disapproves
8 Salary Raise Acts;
Calls Them Illegal

Mayor Woodward Friday took away
almost all hope from City Electrician
r. c. Turner, Tax Assessor j. y.
Malone and Superintendent of Pris-
ons Thomas Lanford of getting sala-
nv raises, on the grounds that the
raises as passed by Council were
technically illegal.
Electrician Turner did not give up.
He appeared at the Mayors office
with an armful of Supreme Court
decisions and city ordinances to show
the action of Council was legal. But
Mayor Woodward announced be
would disapprove all three measures.
Under a ruling of City Attorney
Mayson, all salary increas SEES must be
made the year before an election.
The increases for these offices had 70
be passed by the 1918 Council. Mayor
Woodward has two objections to the
manner in which the measures were
passed. First, the Aldermanic Board
met Monday without being called by
him, and, second, he said he should
have approved or disapproved the &C
ton before the old Council adjourned
it's final meeting.

InterIocking Directorates To Be
Prohibited Absolutely Under
Administration Bills.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--The the
DRY that guilt is personal and that
trust rnagnates shall be subjected to
imprisonment as we'll as fine has been
written into the Sherman law by the
subcommittee of the House judiciary
Committee, which has just completed
draft Of the Administrators anti
trust bill The fundamental provl-
sions of the bill were learned to-day
by the Hearst International News
Service
The bill consists of a number o.
separate measures These will be in
troduced in the House next week aft
er they have been submitted to Pres
tdent Wilson for his approval. The
most important of the measures pro-
vides penal punishment for corpo-
ration officers found guilty of a viola
ton of the antitrust laws.
Manufacturers will be forbidden to
fix the ultimate price to the con-
sumner of the article manufactured
There are drastic provisions profiib-
ting price fixing In restraint OF trade,
the necessity for this legislation being
shown by the Supreme Court of the
United States decision in the Dick
Monograph case and the United Shoe
Machinery case
The bill requires that no restraint
of trade shall be deemed reasonable.
There also will be definition OF what
constitutes a restraint of trade and
the rule of eason" written into the
Sherman law by the Supreme Cour.
Of the United States will be set aside.
"IntsrIoekins" Prohibited.
Interlockins directorates between
banks and industrial corporations will
be absolutely prohibited. The Jaw
will be especially drastic concerntns
the directorate OF banks and railro0fA
and no banker will be permitted II
be railroad director and no railroad
director will be allowed to be Ill
rector Of bank.
The interlocking directorates pro-
visions will go further and provide
that a director of an industrial COZ
Germ can not be director In a com
peting Industrial concern, nor shall
any banker or railroad director act
as a director in an industrial concern
in a manner that will restrain COM
petition.
Railroads will be divorced from
control or ownership of manufactur
ing or other esta Adjustments whose
output Is a commodity transported by
the comomn carriers. In other words.
no railroad may own or control coal
mine. steel manufacturing plant or
other industries which put out com
modities handled or used by the rail
roads.
Leave Sherman Law Intact.
These provisions leave intact the
Sherman law as it now stands. and
are supplementary thereto. That law
will be amended to define competi-
ton. to provide punishment for Of
Tending trust owners and to break up
monopolies.
The House subcommittee is OPP
posed to the idea of the creation of
an industrial trade commission to TX
the prices of manufactured articles,
but believes the situation may be met
by legislation breaking up the patent
monopoly and prohibiting the origi
nal seller from fixing the price to the
ultimate consumer
Committee said to-day that the anti
trust bills represented the general
views Of the Administration and
would be considered as administra
ton measures when introduced.

SERVIA FEARS BALKAN
NATIONS MAY ATTACK
Asks Russia to Induce Bulgaria
and Rumania to Re-
frain.

PErgoGRAp. Nov. In Tzemovtch, 4
special envoy from Servia, has arrived
here to urge Russian assistance to his
country, whose army has been reduced
from 300,0 to 100000 with consequent
danger of the complete conquest OF the
kingdom by Austria. Great anxiety Is felt
here because of the distress OF Servia, for
It's absorption by Austria would bring the
latter into territorial contact with Bull
garia, Ruminia and Greece, thus causing
these countries to be exposed directly Il"
an Austro- q erman attack and making
them hesitate about joining the Allies
Moreover, through the possession or
Servian territory Austria would be able
10 offer Macedonia t. Bulgaria, Wal
lachan province TO Rumania and other
land to Greece for their support. NJ
rzemovitch complains that Macedonian In
surgents led 10y Bulgarian officers are at
lacking the SerVlan r'dr. When Russia
interviewed Bulgaria demanded the resll-
sutton of that part Of Macedonia which
was kept by SerVla after the second Bal
Kan war. but Servia refused to give 1t up.
The situation is critical because the
Russian armies should be used to drvs
home the successes in Poland, Galicla and
the Caucasus. while the war is PROGRESSING
the resources Of the great Powers of
Europe are becoming exhausted and hence
the active support of Rumdnia and Bul-
Earia will ne increasingly important.
Russia is sending Prince Troubetzkoy TO
the Balkans to urge Servia 10 accept the
Bulgarian conditions and at the same time
10 advise Rumania not to take advantage
