HOUSE REPORT on FOOD
CONTROL UP TODAY

HOLLIS FINDS OBJECTION.
Declares Clayton Antitrust Law
Provision to Prevent Labor Unions
From Prosecution as Combination
Hns Been Eliminated in Measure.

Washington, Aug. 2.-House lead
ers agreed to discuss tomorrow the
house report on the food control bill.
1t Is very probable the house Will ac-
cept the report because 1t emoodles
the main features the house STANDS
for including one man control, ana
no war committee. After the house
completes the discussion on the report
the document will be sent to the
senate.
In addition to existing ab5ectionaole
features still another disiked aspec.
appeared today. Senator Hollis round
that the conferees had cut from the
bill the provision stipuiating that the
Clayton antitrust law should not oe
altered. Under tho antitrust law Ia
Dor unions cannot be prosecutor az
trust combinations. But as the Iooo
control bill now stands. some senator's
say that prosecution OF tho uiio'io
might be practicable.
Henator Hollis will insist that the
bill be returned to conference IL the
provision 10 not put back. NO one
knew until today that It had been ell
minated. - --

Republicans and insurgent dsmo-
Gratis predict that a big drive VIII DC
made to establish n commission 10

solution providing for such COM
mission was adversely reported by the
senate committee on rules. Despite
this adverse the measure now lies be-
for the senate and the fight for 1t may
be renewed.
IT am not particularly insistent that
the resolution shall be brought up
Immediately said Senator Weeks.
The senate has already shown It's
temper on the matter by decisive
votes.
Il, would be impossible to put
the resolution through the house lust
now. The house Democrats say that
their agreement is to deal only win,
war legislation and this IL not war
legislation It would require special
rule 10 deal with II IN the house. Ana
that cannot be obtained now.
II intend however to add this re-
solution as a rider TO everything tha'
is taken up In the senate and thereoH
force n vote on II. The vote must
come sooner or later even TX IL taxes
until March 4. 1919.
