The law sought to be suspended is
section 10 OF the Clayton antitrust
law, which was passed in 1915. The
section provides that railroads shall
not be Interested financially or have
lnterlocking directorate interests in
railroad supply corporations or con-
Germs, and that railroads shall adver-
tise for and purchase their supplies
from the lowest bidder.
Operation of this law has been sus-
pended since 1916 by separate special
acts of Congress. Senator Freling-
huysen. New Jersey. has presented a
bill for it's repeal. Railroad men say
that IL the railroads are forced to buy
