TRADE COMMISSION
IS AGAINST MERGER
Says Proposed Combination Con-
stitutes UNFAIR Method of
Competition"

WASHINGTON Aug. S1.--The Fed
eral Trade Commission today issued a
formal complaint charging that the
proposed merger of the Midvale, Re-
public and Inland Steel companies was
in violation of the law in that it con-
stituted an unfair method of COM
petition" The commissions decision
was exactly te reverse of that reach
ed by the department Of justice which
recently informed congress that the
proposed combination was not in con-
travention OF either the Webb, Clay
ton or the Sherman anti trust laws,
but was in line with previous action
of the commission in issuing a COM
plant against the Bethlehem acka-
wanna merger, which merger too, was
declared by the attorney general to be
as free of unfair trade practices" as
the proposed Midvale- Republic Inland
combination.
In its complaint the commission
named as respondents the Midvale
Steel and Ordnance company Of Phila-
delphia, the Republic Iron and Steel
company of New York city and the In
land Steel company of Chicago, and
allowed thirty days in which to file
answers, upon which, 1t was explain
ed, will be determined the issues ''to
be tried out in formal matter" The
date of the hearing will not be an
until after receipt by the
of answers to it's COM
plaint.
The complaint declared that the
had reason to believe
after preliminary Investigation that
the proposed merger or consolidation
Of the three competing steel compan-
les, (which will center the control of
some 35 corporations in one group,

strain trade and tend to create mon

1um setting forth his reasons.

Emergency Measure for Federal
Distribution passes House by
Vote of 214 to 81.
LIFE OF LAW WOULD
END FIRST OF YEAR
BOrah's Substitute for Fact
Finding Commission Carried
Over Until Another Time. i
(sy The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The ad-
ministration bill for control and dis
tribution of coal during the mining
and transportation emergency was
passed today by the house, 214 to 81
and sent to the senate with assurances
OF early consideration. Only one
change was made in the measure as
originally framed, an amendment by
Representative Sanders, republican
Indiana, providing that the life of the
law should end January 1, 1924 or a
few weeks after the regular session OF
the next congress being passed 122 to
II.
In the senate, as soon as the SOL
diers' bonus bill had been disposed of,
attention was turned to coal legislation
the Borah substitute for the house bill
passed last week creating a fact-find-
Ing commission being taken up. Two
hours of debate, however showed the
impossibility of action on the meas
ure today. and it went over for fur
ther consideration tomorrow.
Won't Have To Ask Congress
The big fight of the day in the house
was in the section Of the control and
distribution measure which gave the
president the right, after Issuance of
a presidential proclamation declaring
the present emergency no longer in
existance to proclaim the existance Of
another such emergency without ask
ing leave Of congress. The section was
voted out in committee Of the whole
81 to 65. but when the bill as finally
completed, was put before the house
proper, Chairman Winslow Of the in
terstate commerce committee in charge
Of it, demanded and obtained a record
vote, and the section was retained,
14s to 124.
Representative Rayburn of Texas,
democratic member of the interstate
commerce committee, offerd the mo-
ton to strike out and he was support
ed by Chairman Madden of the ap-
committee, Representative
Graham, republican, Pennsylvania, and
some leaders Of both parties. Previous
ly Mr.. Winslow had sought to amend
the provision so as to give congress
the right to say If an emergency pre-
vailed in the coal mining and rail-
road world, but his motion to this eff
feet was defeated through the votes
Of members who were confident the
entire section would go out.
Rayburn's Motion Rejected
Mr. Rayburn's motion to recommit
for the purpose of eliminating the
clause "to prevent extortion in prices
charged for coal and other fuel and
promote the general welfare" was re-
jeeted without a record vote.
Three republicans from West vir-
ginia, Goodykoontz, woodward and
opposed the bill, Mr..
declaring that in the
house debate operators had been "cas-
tigated". while no strong voice was

by the British government against the

First Arrest In
Herrin War Made

MARION, Ill, Aug. 31.-Confined in the
same narrow cell in which Settimi De-
SAINTS, who precipitated the riots at
West Frankfort, several years ago, spent
the waning days of his life before ascend
ing the gallows, is Otis Clark the first
man indicted by the grand jury investi-
eating the Herrtn riots which took q
lives, having been in custody this after
noon.
Clark is the first person caught in the
net of investigation thrown out in the
massacre that took so many lives and is
charged with having slain c. K. Nc
Dowell, crippled superintendent of the
Lester strip mine, near which the mas
sacre occurred.
Clark appears to be we'll educated. For
some time he has been president of the
local miners organization at Weaver
Falls, ILL.,, and check weighman at the
Old Ben Coal Company's mine number 90.
He spends the off-mining season farming
at Goreville. He is the father of five
minor children. -..
The sale Of moving machine, for one
dollar and a half, and the sale of other
farm implements at equally low prices
was what caused county officials to be-
come suspicious that Clark contemplated
leaving this vicinity, and as a result the
indictment against him was hastened.
A leak. which States Attorney Delos
declared gave Clark advance information
on his indictment has been discovered and
stopped.
With the indictment and arrest Of Clark
citizens Of Williamson county are pre-
pared for other indictments in the fu-
ture. Just when these expected indict-
ments will be returned, If at all, could
not be learned
