REST FOR BUSINESS URGED.
Republicans on Judiciary Committee
Oppose Trust hin.

WASHINGTON, May ~. Business
should have a rest" said report on the
Administration trust bill filed with the
House to-day by Representatives Dam
forth OF New York. Graham of Pennsyl-
yania and Dyer of Missouri. Republican
members OF the Committee on the Judi
clary. The report says in part:
The antitrust laws on the statute
books at this time have been carefully
considered by the Supreme Court and
j';dciaily interpreted through n period Of
twenty-four years. and II properly en-
forced are believed by us to strip cor
porations and trusts OF any power to in
jure or Cypress.
NO possible good can come from con-
slant Interference with business. II is
our belief that business should have a
rest from further legislation and be given
an opportunity to adjust itself to the en-
vironment created by existing antitrust
laws as the same have been interpreted
and are now being administered.
The proposed legislation contains
many new phrases and ses up new stand
ards. all of which would require a period
OF years for Interpretation by the courts
before their full meaning may be def
ntely known by the business world. II
is very undesirable TO bring about such
period of uncertainty and doubt to
worry and harass the business Of the
country
The report charges that the Admins
tration bill is loosely drawn and that II
passed would result in years OF litiga-
ton.
