MAY RELOCATE TRUST BILL.
Likely to Be Put Over by Admins
tration Until Next Session.

One feature Of the present political
condition in Congress is thought to be
the possibility that the administration $
antitrust legislative program may be
sidetracked until next session. Two
reasons are assigned for this view
first because of the recognized per-
picked status of antitrust bills: sec
ond. the possibility of the administers
ton having first to clear Up the threat
ening political crisis.
In this connection it is pointed out
that business and financial circles are
remarkably Indifferent to the antitrust
program. seeing nothing in it to I'M
duly alarm, and with this fact before
them, the administration. it is held,
may relegate that feature Of congress
sional activity to secondary considera-
ton.
