Wilson Vetoes Plan
to Untnngle Part
of Anti Trust Act
BY Associated Dress.

BY Associated Press
Washington. Dec 3O-President
Wilson today vetoed the joint reso-
luton designed to suspend section
of the Clayton act prohibiting com
mon carriers from dealing with any
concern having interlocking directo-
rates with the carrier, except as 10
q limited extent as to contracts.
The presidents veto message was
read III the senate and some discus
sion followed as TO what should be
done with it.
Senator La Toilette, republican, OF
Wisconsin, finally asked that it 60
over. and this was agreed to.
Chairman Cummins. of the inter
state commerce committee, author of
the measure is absent from Washing
ton.
The president in his message said
the principle Of the Clayton act was
sound and that the carriers had
ample time in which to adjust their
affairs SO as to comply with the law
The presidents message recalled
that he had urged such an antitrust
act on Dec. >, 1913, and Jan. 90. 1914.
The message continues:
In speaking of the changes which
opinion deliberately sanctions and for
which business waits, / observe:
1t waits with acquiescence in the
flrst place for laws which will ef-
fectually prohibit and prevent such
nterlockings OF the personnel of the
directorates OF great corporations
banks and railroads, Industrial and
public service bodies-as in effect
result In making those who bar
row and those who lend practically
one and the Some--those who sell and
those who buy.-but the same per-
sons trading with one another under
different names and in different
combinations and those who expect
to compete intact partners and mas
ters of some whole field Of business.
Sufficient time should be allowed, of
course. in whicn to effect these
changes OF organization without In
convenience or confusion.
This particular recommendation
is reflected In section 10 Of the Clay
ton antitrust act. That act became
law on Oct. 15. 1914. - In all
over six years have elapsed since this
enactment was put upon the statute
books so that all interests concerned
have had long and amr, aotice OF
the obligations it imposes
After reviewing arguments in favor
of the vetoed bill the president says
that when 1t is considered that the
congress is now In session and can
readily adopt suitable amendments.
II they shall be found to be neces-
sary3 such reasons for further delay
appear to me to be inadequate"
The message concludes:
.1,he soundness of the principle
embodied IN section 10 appears to be
generally admitted. The wholesome
effects which It's application was In
tended to produce should no longer
be withheld from the public and from
the common carriers Immediately
concerned, for whose protection It
was particularly designed"

would be held in strict minimum
In an effort TO check illegal liquor
sales.
The greatest reduction will be In
wholesale permits under Mr.. krafn-
er's program, but other dealers en-
titled To operate under the Voistead
act also will be considerably affected.
The commissioner said II was his hi-
tention to refuse to reissue between
90 and 20 per cent of the wholesale
licenses now in effect.
Atlantic seaboard areas apparently
have provided the prohibition en-
forcement agents with their gdeatest
problems and 1t is expected those
districts will lose the largest number
OF liquor dealers under the plan. Mr.,
Kramer said the illegal traffic in
liquor had been particularly mem
acing in the cities from Boston to
the Potomac river, and he indicated
the housecleaning would be thorough
in communities in that section.
Great lakes cities and harbor
points, both Canadian and Mexican,
also have given trouble for the en-
forcenent corps.
Need Of additional funds for pro-
hin.tion enforcement, with Wholesale
Violations reported from many Sec
tions, was emphasized BY Attorney
General Palmer in testimony before
the house appropriations committee,
made public today for the first time.
His request for 100000 was not in
cluded by the COMMITTEES In framing
the sundry civil bill.
The committee also. .refused to in
clude in the bin provision to re-
ward citizens for giving secret in
formation regarding liquor smuggling

clared that the same system now In

Ashworth cited the case of a man

was paid $1,000 for the information.
