UNREST DUE TO
 MISC0NCEPTI0N OF GOVERNMENT

NEW YORK, Dec. 12 (by Associated Press) President Wilson has writ ten an article for the Independent in which he says that fuller knowledge of American institutions will prove a cure for socia{ unrest.
 Men now, he says, are blessed with new curiosity about their govern ment. Men are demanding that the doors behind which secret policies have been incubated be thrown open and kept open.
 Autocratic governments, declares the President, live by concealment, while free governments live by under standing. A new day is dawning, he says, in which only those governments which keep no secrets from the people can endure long.

PRICE SITUATION
COMMANDS ATTENTION

New York. Aug. l.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say in part;
The price situation, which becomes
more extraordinary with each weeks
passing. compels wider attention. and
exerts An increasingly potent influence
upon current business movements. AT
prices that should ordinarily put an
abrupt check on expansion. many COM
modities are wanted in unexampled vol
lume because the requirements Of the
rcadjustment era are SO pressing, or
because still higher levels seem to b.
fcreshadowed. and where urgently
needed supplies are available for i'm
Mediate delivery. the matter of cost is
usually OF secondary consideration
with buyers.
If not as well balanced as II might
he. iron mi steel business Is. never
theless steadily charging and the rate
cf output increasing. Expansion in
mill and furnace operations Is not or
,iinarily looked for In the summer. but
this Is al unusual year In many re-
spects. and conditions cannot be
gagged by the customary standards.
No d~iminution OF the noteworthy
strength of the footwear markets has
been witnessed. but some people ex-
press the belief that prices have about
reached the maximum.
The textile markets, while more anil
mated h Is usual during the sum-
mer period. do not now reflect the fe-
verish conditions that were recently so

ORIGIN Of PROPOSED
ANTITRUST Law

Lewis H. Machen. former director of
the bureau of legislative reference,
who drew the antitrust bill which
was defeated at the last session of the

following statement:
The antitrust bill before the gen
eral assembly Of 1918 was not copied
from the New Jersey law The bill
for A state purchasing agent was
copied from the New Jersey statute
The antitrust bill was based. in part.
on the Sherman and Clayton antitrust
acts and the laws of twenty or thirty
states. including New Jersey. Each
section, as far as possible, was selected
because of its general adoption by the
most progressive states. The punish
ment by Jail sentence without fine was
in accordance with the recommends
ton OF the governors inaugural ad-
dress.
The bill was intended to be tenta-
tive. and amendments We're expected.
/ suggested to the patron, Senator
Mapp, tina the appeal granted the
commonwealth should be eliminated,
1t had been adopted from the Mapp
prohibition law. The house adopted
only one amendment. n the senate
committee considered several. The
bill reached the senate calendar too
late to b. taken up in due course. n
sufficient votes could never be mus
tered to take it up out of its order.
