TRUST BILL REPORTED
BY HOUSE COMMITTEE
Section Incorporated Which Partial
" Meets Wishes Of Labor
Organizations.

The administrations trust bill was re-
ported from the House judiciary commit
tee today with but one change of any i'm
portance this being a new section pro-
hibiting the granting of sudden prelimi-
nary injunctions. The new section pro-
vides that the opposite parties in the diff
Guilty must be given notice Of the fnjunc-
ton unless it appears that loss of life or
great destruction of property will follow
otherwise.
This change will have direct bearing
on the attitude to be taken by labor or
ganizations toward the bill. as II grants
a part of their request that labor unions
be favored in the administration bill.
Overnight iniunctions against labor unions
when on strike have been the cause of
dissatisfaction on the part of labor men
many years.

Aimed at Unfair Competition.

The administration antitrust bill was
printed as single bill April -. and was
fully described in the newspapers at
that time. 1t is aimed at unfair conpe-
tition by unlawful combinations. and

discriminate in prices between different
purchasers OF commodities.
Mine owners are prohibited from with
holding their products from any re-
sponsible purchaser. Labor unions and
farmers organizations are exempt from
the antitrust law. The acquisition of
stock in a competing corporation for the
purpose of putting it out OF business is
prohibited

Stock Conditions Improved.

Stock market conditions improved
definitely this week The steady de-
cline of the previous fortnight was
checked. and good progress was made
on an upward swing. The change was
due primarily to the prospects for a
peaceable solution of the Mexican
problem. Acceptance of the mediation
proposal by both countries altered the
whole aspect of the speculative situa-
ton.
Spectators who had sold heavily on
the expectation Of a long war found
themselves in an untenable position
and much of the strength shown dur
ing the week was due to short cover
ing.
Another element of strength was the
Improvement in London based on the
more hopeful view Of the Ulster crisis
Crop Prospects Cheering.
At home sentiment was cheered by
the favorable indications for crops the
Improvement in railroad earnings for
March as compared with preceding
months and the prospects for speedy
decision in the freight rates case
An offsetting influence was the con-
tinued depression in business. The ex-
tent OF this recession in the steel in
dustry was measured by United States
steers quarterly report showing a
deficit OF more than $4,000. 900.
Foreign exchange rose to the wears
nigh mark. and there was talk OF the
chances of gold exports. Money rates
relaxed On the subsiding alarm over
the Mexican situation.

ARGENTINE MAYiOOMINATE
PRICE OF CORN IN U. S.

Washington, May 27.-Argentinc
may soon actually dominate the price
of corn in the United States, as it is
now practically doing, according To
fears set forth by II. G.. Herget. presi-
dent of the Illinois Manufacturers as
sociation i'm an address today before
the National Foreign Trade Conven-
tion here
He said
with a crop little more than one-
tenth of ours, Argentina possesses "a
surplus which has price fixing poten-
TALLY equal to our own. This condi-
tion will not improve but the range
will widen and IL would seem that
within a few years Argentina will act
ually dominate the price of corn in
this country as it is now doing Land
values and the higher plane of living
i'm the Central states will not admit ot
competition with Argentina i'm the
growing of wheat and oats. There
must be some readiustment of values
or else a foreign market must he found,
as an outlet for our crops. This will
require systematic and continuous ad-
vertising TO the end that foreign coun-
tries will learn that our corn contains
more nourishment per pound and per
cost than any other"
