Be Extended to Protect

George has written to the press to the
effect that the discussion of certain
highly controversial points in his re-

of the governments programme as set
forth in his speech, adding several
proposals to which he says he did not
have time to refer in his speech.
One proposal is to establish a de-
partment of standards, to promote and
assist Standardization in technical
trade matters, which he regards as in
creasingly important to British indus
try Another point is his intention
to introduce legislation to secure ade-
quate measures permanently to protect
the public from the harmful effects of
trusts and combinations. should such
protection become advisable. His only
mention of this subject in his speech
referred to penalty of six months
imprisonment under the protiteering

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.- Revision
of the antitrust laws to make them
of greater use in the campaign against
the high cost Of living is desired by
the Administration, but it was indi-
Gated to-day that no definite recon-
mendations will be submitted to Con-
gress.
representative A. j. Volstead. of
Minnesota, chairman of the House Ju-
dietary Committee, sought 8 conference
with Attorney General Palmer to find
out just what the Administration de-
sres. He brought away the idea that
the Administration will sponsor no bill
carrying out its ideas about needed
amendments to the antitrust laws.
The Attorney General and Federal
Trade Commissioner Cover both have
agreed to appear before the Judiciary
Committee early next week and submit
to questioning on the whole range of
antitrust legislation. Thereafter the
committee will get to work on recon-
nendations already made by some of
its members.
Mr.. Volstead expects to draft bill
himself within q few days. There are
several changes in the antitrust laws
he thinks desirable. He said he would
seek the repeal of that portion OF
the Clayton act that affirms the
right of the manufacturer or producer
to choose his buyer. Large corpora
tions had been compelled to treat all
buyers alike, he asserted.
Mr.. Volstead opposes the proposal
Of the Federal Trade Commission that
the manufacturer be given by law
the right Of fixing a resale price for
his product. So long as manufacture
ers are permitted to set resale prices,
he said, it would be practically i'm
possible 20 break Up combinations to
boost prices. He believes that instead
Of lesalizins resale price liking, such
practices should be made Illegal.
The Supreme Court, basing its deci-
sion on certain passages of the Clay
ton act. held in the Colgate case that
a manufacturer may say a what price
his products shall retail. Mr.. Volstead
said if provisions upon which this de-
cision was based were repealed the Ad-
ministration would be able to deal eff
fectively with trusts, combinations and
monopolies without much further legs-

Is expected to announce tomorrow
whether there will be an extra session
of the Legislature to enact laws to
check the high cost of living. He con-
ferred tonight with former Governor
Martin II. Glynn and State Education
Commissioner John H. Finley, whom
he appointed to investigate the food

the Lusk committee regarding Bolshevik
activities.
