have granted interviews and au-
thorized public statements contain
ing sentiments which your fellow
citizens, interested in the moral well

THE request therefore which we
respectfully urge upon you is that
you use your authority to intervene
and prevent the outrage to the moral
sensibilities of the citizens of this
country threatened in the proposal
to again exhibit any Arbuckle films. =
"In case it should be that the exer-
else of such authority is not within
the bounds of your power as director
of the motion picture industry, we
then urge that you use your great
personal influence for the accom-
plishment OF this end"

death in a hospital, Patrick Connor,
shot four times by a mysterious as
sailant in Central park Thursday
night, refused steadfastly to reveal
the name of his assailant or to speak

arrest as a member of the Irish re-

Claims That American
Business Is Being

Investigation Is Proposed
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Omaha B~s Leased Wire.

Washington. April IL. - Are
the antitrust laws. as now inter.
pre,ed. ,hro,tling American busi-
ness,
Business men generally answer in
the affirmative aud the Harding adj
ministraiion has become SO I'M
pressed by their assertions that Il
has endorsed an investigation TO dc.
tcrminc whether the restrictions on
business need an overhauling.
The Edge resolution. which has
been approved by the administration
and is scheduled for passage soon
by congress. provides for the ap.
pointmcn, OF joint committee OF
three senators and three representa-
tives to conduct the inquiry. This
committee is to investigate exist
ing conditions OF industry and COM
merce in the United States and the
markets Of foreign countries. insofar
as the same directly affect industry
and commerce of the United States.
including questions as to production.
distribution. labor and business
methods and to report to congress
and to suggest such legislation. il
any. as it may deem best upon these
subjects with special reference to
the most effective ways and means
to revive industry and to stimulate
foreign and domestic trade, to
stabilize business conditions as to
the future, to minimize the danger
and distress of recurring periods OF
business depression with their re-
sultant cycles of general unemploy-
ment and to define the rights and
limitations of cooperative organiza-
tions as distinguished from illicit
combines i'll restraint OF trade"
Revision Is Suggested.
That the laws to prevent and
punish monopolies in restraint Of
trade need to be brought up TO date
was suggested by the recent action
of congress in lcgalizing agricul-
tural associations for cooperative
marketing. Without such legislation
these organizations could have been
prosecuted for violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. They now will
be permitted to operate under de-
gree OF government surveillance de-
signed to prevent them from develop
ing into combinations i'll restraint
of trade.
Commercial and industrial cor
porations say there is similar need
of legalizing their associations with
the proper safeguards against re-
straint of trade.
