Big Fight
Promised In Congress When Anti
Trust Bills Come up-Debate on
Tolls Question Expected to
End This Week.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-with de-
bate in the senate on repeal of the
tolls exemption clause OF the Panama
canal act nearing the end, the house
this week will take up what II CON
siders the most important work of
the session. consideration Of the
three so-called antitrust bills. which.
with the necessary appropriation
bills. now make up the administra-
tons legislative program.
Democratic leaders in the senate
aligned with the president for re-
peal Of tolls exemption to see debate
closed by saturday. but the most op-
tlmisttc house leaders do not believe
the three trust measures can be
passed in less than three weeks The
trio will be taken up by the house un-
ported Tuesday. The rule as framed
In committee will limit general de-
bate under the five minute rule and
no limit on the amendments which
may be offered.
A Bitter Struggle.
Aside from the fight which Is ex.
pected on the broad principles laid
down In each OF the bills there will
be particularly bitter struggle on
NHa
Dor and agricultural unions to ex-
empt them from the operation of the
sherman antitrust law. President
Wilson Is understood TO have told
house leaders interested in this legis-
lation that he does not approve this
exemption and there is little doubt
that his desires will be met. but a
strong effort will be made TO incor.
porate an exemption amendment.
Members OF both Houses are still
greatly interested in the prospects for
adjournment by the middle of Jnly but
unless the Senate leaders decide not
10 press the antitrust legislation there
seems TO be little probability OF ad-
Journment before August at the earii-
est. There has been some talk at the
capitol that the Senate would pass
only one trust" bill which would Gre
ate a trade commission and that one
OF Its duties would be TO investigate
such subjects as interlocking director
ates. holding COMPANIES and railway
capitalization and report its findings
next winter. With eight appropriation
bills TO be passed and vote yet 70
be taken on repeal OF tolls exemption
Democratic leaders In the Senate may
yet turn TO this course as the only one
10 assure adjournment In July.
Climax Of Repeal Bill.
The fight over the repeal bill Is ex-
pected 10 reach It's climax during the
present week. Majority leader Kern
II hopeful that a vote my be taken by
Monday. The administration. conf
dent as its leaders may be that the
repeal bill will carry. has not ceased
lie efforts. A statement was issued to
night from headquarters Of the Demo
