House Leaders Ready to Clear
Way for Enactment of
Clayton Bill.
GENERAL MODIFICATION
OF DRASTIC FEATURES
Interstate Trade Commission Bill
Allows Some Price Cutting-Labor
Provisions Not Satisfying.

Whether or not the present Congress
writes trust regulation statute on the
books depends on the White House At
least. that was what men who ought to
know said in the House corridors yester-
day
With the Clayton omnibus antitrust
bill all written and reported. the greater
portion OF the Presid ent's trust legislat tive
program is ready for action on the floor.
House leaders We're holding whispered
conferences with each other yesterday.
endeavoring to find a way to expedite
present and pending legislation as to
leave a clear field for the antitrust meas
ures which the President wants enacted.
Chairman Clayton introduced resolu-
ton proposing one Of the most iron clad
rules on record to rush the measure
through. The bill is mainly the same as
when introduced less than a month ago
as a revised combination of separate
bills on holding companies. in.erlockins
directorates, etc.
The House rules committee will meet
early next week to decide upon the rule.
1t contemplates sixteen hours of general
debate. five-minute speeches on any item,
but restricted in the total to a maximum
of four hours-an unusual limitation
the bill then to be voted upon without
intervening motions.
Some Price Cutting Allowed.
One of the almost ludicrous situations
regarding the serious antitrust business
is the way men in the House sneer a,
the bill to create an interstate trade
commission, reported from the Senate
committee on interstate and foreign com
merce Friday. 1t is SO different from
the House bill to provide for the same
purpose that no one would believe they
belong to the same family. The feal
was expressed in the Capitol yesterday y
that unless a lot of doctoring Is done
the differences in the two bills will seri-
ously interfere with a quick finish to the
antitrust schedule.
The Clayton antitrust measure has a
section of great interest to commercial
men in the provision against price cut

House yesterday that this clause IS al
most meaningless. as courts have never
attempted to dissolve any unions. Labor
men in the House declare they are not
entirely satisfied with the labor union
treatment in the bill, but they also indi-
cate that they know that is all they will
get.

The bill as reported has been changed
slightly from the original form in the

prevented any man from cutting prices
at all. The present bill is worded with
the intention OF preventing Just the

SO strongly.
