DEADLOCK FACED
UPON TRUST BILLS
Clash Looming Between House
and Senate May Tie Up
Congress for Weeks.
BY JOHN SNURE.

Prospects for a clash between the
Senate and House over the form trust
legislation shall take are becoming more
and more serious. These prospects in
teTfcre greatly with calculations OH early
adjournment of Congress. In fact,
shTewd leaders in both bodns forsee
a situation in which the Senate and
House will be deadlocked for weeks,
thus deferring adjournment indefinitely.
Last week there was a good deal of
talk about adjournment in the vicinity
of August Is. But the developments in
the trust bill situation in the Senate
are not encouraging for quitting that
soon. If the Senate should pass the
trust bills in such a form as could lie
accepted by the House with little trou-
bic in conference, ii might be possible to
end the session the middle of August.
But if the expected controversy as be-
tween the House measures and the
Senate measures develops, then Con-
gress may be here far into September.
Clark Sees Long Delay.
Speaker Champ Clark today predicted
that If the senate went fully into trust
legislation Congress would not adjourn
before September 10.
All the indications are the Senate
will rip the House bills to pieces and
well-nigh reconstruct them. By the
time the bills get through the Senate,
they are likely to be put into form that
will mean much more effectice and far
reaching treatment of trust problems
than would the House bills. The House
bills on their face, are crude, imper-
feet. and contain ''jokers'' which will
give trouble II they ever find their way
into law.
One index to the differences be-
tween the bills is seen in the pro-
mittee. That committee took hold of
the Clayton bill. struck out the
traffic agreement provision whereby
railroads were To be allowed to en-
ter into traffic agreements. Topped of
the interlocking directorate and hold
ing company features of the bill, as
well as certain others. and left the
with the labor provisions and those
relating TO farmers organizations
and the Injunction provisions.
Clash Is Probable.
Moreover. the judiciary committee Is
engaged in largely modifying the labor
provisions, with which IT has been
wrestling for sometime The intention
of the Judiciary Committee is to have
interlocking directorates and holding
companies, as we'll as trade practices,
dealt with as a part of the interstate
trade commission bill.
House leaders put the labor provisions
through. in the first place. under pres
sure from labor leaders. Thee thought
it was good politics. Hence. thep will
be slow to accept Senate changes. A
prolonged disagreement on the labor
provisions between the houses is likely.

WILSON RETORTS To.
DEPRESSION LETTERS
Denies to President Bush, of
Ohio, That He Is Unfair in
His Criticism.

Answering the allegation of Presi-

ers' Association. and other represent
atives OF Big Business" that he has
been unfair in his recent attacks on
them for their part in calling atten-
tion to business depression, President
Wilson today declared that he had
never presumed to criticise these in

gress and to the White House urging
| a postponement of antitrust lezis-
lation. He declared that his only
criticism was directed against what
he described as "a systematic plan of
writing letters for other people to
sign"
Does Not Deny Right.
The President explained that he never
intended to be placed in the position
OF denying the right of any person or
class Of persons to write letters to
him or to Congress. but thought II a
remarkable procedure for certain in
terests to send out form letters for
other people to copy under their own
letterheads. The President was told
that Mr.. Bush declared that similar
propaganda was being used by farmers
and labor organizations in the interest
OF the exemption clauses In the Claw
ton bills. He replied that he had not
been advised of this, but intimated

The Carnival.
way

Exposition is a most CON prehen-
siYe term to employ in connection with
a carnival company, but it would be
most apt one in the case OF the
Tropical Amusement company, who
are showing here this week. This IS
true because among its numerous at
fractions, educational features are
combined with those pertaining to fun
and amusement. It's shows are Of
different character than those. gener-
ally seen with similar travelling or
carnations, the principal difference
beiug that the Tropical shows are
clean and refined throughout and pro-
vide common pleasure field but not
a vulgar thing.
The big, glaring feature Of the car
nival this week is its band which,
composed entirely Of Italian soloists,
furnishes musical programmes daily
which are of the highest order and
we'll rendered. 1t is, in fact, one Of
the best show bands ever heard here.
They are giving concerts each after
noon and evening on the main streets
as we'll as playing stirring airs at fre-
ouent intervals at the carnival
grounds.
The performance of the Great Sher-
wood, which is presented as free at
traction, is causing considerable COM
ment. The daring little acrobat calls
his act "a leap for life and as it's
name suggests, it is sensational and
thrilling in the extreme.
Among. the pay attraction, "The
Egyptian Hail." Automatic City,
"Jesse James Wild West" "Old Plan
tation Minstrels,' 9Joyland, ''The Five
in-one," "The Ferris Wheel" and
Merry-go-Round," are all meritorious
and entertaining.
The Tropical company remains in
Newherry all this week, closing with
Saturday nights performances and
proceeding to Laurens where it is
next scheduled to exhibit.
