SEEK RETURN
OF ANTITRUST
LAWSOFT TEXAS
Attorney General Is
Working to Revamp
Laws Against Bust
ness Conspiracy
BY 3. RAYMOND BROOKS

AUSTIN, April 20. - The state,
through Attorney General william
McCraw and Senator Weaver
Moore. Houston, is taking steps to
PUT antitrust statutes back in the
lawbooks. temporarily held nom
existent by a midway court.
Third civil appeals court at Aus
tin recently held the state a been
without any veStige OF antitrust
Law since 1905. 1t held the entire
statute "a volded by an unconsti-
tGtional exemption OF farm pro-
ducts from terms of the statute.
With cooperation Of the attorney
general, Senator Moore has re-
written the entire antitrust GRIM
inal statute, leaving out the exemp-
ton, and has introduced it IN the
senate.
The civil appeals decision will be
taken TO Suprme court If held cor
rect, then the pending bill Will be
the only antitrust legislation in
effect. If supreme court fails to
sustain the decision, 1t may then
hold various aspects valid
Think Law Valid
Legislative leaders, who believe in
the principle Of constituting the le-
giSlative will affirmativeIy, where
complete valid Subject-matter in
itself is contained in a statute, think
there may be a decision holding
that the exemption Of farm prod
uctS Is valid, but that including
this void provision did not destroy
the matter in the bill, otherwise
valid and constitutional.
They point out the statute was
written after u. S. supreme court
had held the exemption unconStitu-
tional for other states, and thus
that the unconstitutional section
was a dead letter. They question
whether the inclusion Of this one
section OF void matter vitiated the
whole bill.
The bill by Sen. Moore deals with
three distinct aspects OF criminal
regulation usually bracketed under
the title Of "anti-truSt." These are:
IA trust is a combination OF
capital, skill or acts for these pur-
poses:
Create restrictions in trade, COM
merce or manufacture or trans
portation against free pursuit Of
any business.
Fix, maintain or change prices.
Prevent or lessen competition.
Control standards Or figures gov
erning prices.
Agreement not TO sell below GER
tain prices, or TO pool interest in
sale OF purchase.
Regulate or limit output.
Abstain from engaging in a bust
ness.
monopoly, as a combination
0T consolidation.
To bring control Of corporations
under same management or trust.
To acquire shares. rights or prop
critics in competing corporation, TO
eSsen competition.
3.-ConSpiracy in restraint OF
trade is defined: To agree to refuse
70 buy from or sell TO any person. To
agree TO boycott or threaten 70 re-
fuS. TO sell TO or buy any commod-
ity or produce from any person.
The act includes the present PEN
alties Of fines from $50 TO $500 for
each day such violation may con-
tinue. 1t also provides for forfeit
In the charter Of a domestic cor
poration, and cancellation OF the
permit OF any foreign corporation
to do business in Texas.
Individual penalties upon res
ponsible officials of corporations
violating the law. Of from two TO 10
years Imprisonment on felony con-
viction.

After a brief wait the announce
ment was rectified. still not making

She was more than an hour over
