there was the possibility Of a reduction

The largest gains were made in the

Irregulerity characterized the morn

in the two was connected with the pro-
posed purchase by Jersey Standard OF
the foreign properties of Standard Oil

large amount of cash, the expenditures

also suggested that the new lineup

ANTITRUST LAW
FIGHT IS PUSHED
Congress Will Be Asked to
Consider Changes in
Present Act.
BY FRANK III. MCCONNELL,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 21.-When Con-
gress completes its present task of dis-
posing of more pressing national prob
lens, such as budget balancing, it will
be asked by some business organizations
to study the Sherman antitrust act
with view to possible changes.
There are many business leaders,
who hold that the present antitrust
laws need re-editing in light of changed
conditions, which have grown up dur
ing the new "age of industrialism. -
| Their contentious. however do not draw
unanimous agreement even within the
ranks of big business itself.
But regardless of the highly contro-
versial aspects of the Sherman anti
trust legislation, a concrete movement
has already developed with intent to
throw the whole subject into the arena
of congressional deba.e, come what
! may.
Would Add Single Phrase.
At a recent hearing or the Commerce
Committee of the American Bar Asso-
| citation, held in New YORK, several con-
tributions were made to the literature
surrounding this debatable subject.
Among the proposals advanced is that
the present Sherman act be amended
| only slightly. by the mere addition of
a single phrase, SO that its present re-
strictions be made to apply to all COM
| bines except those in the public in
tereSt"
IN this way, 1t is argued, sufficient
LeeWay would be created so that trade
associations designed to help the pub
lie interest by restricting wholesale
overproduction and cut-throat compe-
tition would be in wholesome standing
from legal standpoint At the same
time, so this argument points out, those
combines in actual restraint of trade
would still be subject to threat of ac-
tion by the Attorney Generals office.
Throughout the Bar Associations
hearings the note was frequently
sounded that speed in making a change
is desirable. One speaker suggested
that speed was preferable to obtaining
absolute perfection. He suggested that
Congress be urged to move quickly in
passing an abbreviated bill, designed tc
set up three-year trial period, after
which permanent legislation could be
enacted
Elsewhere the complaint has beer
made that too many prescriptions have
already been advanced by various trade
associations and other business groups
which are seeking changes. A wide
variety of these have already been sub
mitted to the Senate Committee or
Manufactures. Until a number OF
leading business organizations can
them selves get behind one distinct pro-
posal, it is argued in this camp. Con-
gress cannot properly be asked to lay
aside other matters while it takes up
the question of modifying trust break
ing laws.
Some Favor Present Law.

WARNS MOTORISTS
TO TURN THOUGHTS
TOWARD LICENSES
Law Provides Cars Operated on
Highways After Jan. I
Must Have Tags

North Dakota motorists must turn
their thoughts toward getting those
1888 license plates.
The motor vehicle registration de-
partment has mailed 1888 supplies
including application blanks for reg
istration, to garages, notaries public
banks and others who will be hand
ling registrations.
The department already has re.
ceived several hundred applications
for 1888 plates and these will be
mailed SO that they can be displayed
on the first Of the new year.
All vehicles operated on the high
ways after Jan. l must bear the 1913:
tag, the law provides. Only those
who have made application prior tc
Jan. are permitted to operate with
license tags assigned to them for this
year. The law permits the motor We.
hicle registrar to designate a period
in which to deliver tags to those who
have made application for operation
OF vehicles with tags displayed TO,
the previous year.
A 30-day period has been designat-
ed by w. S. Graham, motor vehicle
registrar, and to legally operate their
vehicles with 1882 license tags dis
played, car owners must make prope,
showing by receipt or otherwise that
they have filed application in the de.
partment for 1888 license plates.
Owners of vehicles who do not in.
tend to use their cars on the high.
way prior to May Is are not required
to file application for registration al
this time. To escape the payment
of penalty, they must file applica-
ton on or before May Is, when the
penalty attaches at the rate of lC
cents a day for Is days and 81 for
each 30-day period thereafter, not to
exceed $50 days, making a total pen
atty of $l15O.
The 1888 license plates will have
green backgrounds with white nu-
meralS.
