An unqualified promise Of en-
forcement Of the antitrust laws
by Attorney General Homer s.
Cummings today brought q con-
gressional prediction Of signifi'
cant developments in the next
few months.
He gave his assurance OF en-.
forcement Of the Sherman AND
Clayton antitrust laws in q letter
to Representative Rich (R0 OF
Pennsylvania.
Opposes Bethlehem Merger
The Pennsylvanian, who has
embarked in a one-man campaign
against proposed mergers OF big
corporations, construed the per
functory letter of the Attorney
General to forecast action IN
many important cases.
Representative Rich demanded
that the Department Of Justice
take steps to prevent consumma
tion Of an alleged plan OF the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation to
unite many subsidiaries and ex'
tend its operations.
Cites Oil Combine Plans
Promising a showdown, Mr.
Rich declared:
1.-TWO big oil companies re-
Gently have disclosed plans to
take in . lot of other COM
panies. There also are many
other mergers in cOntempla-
dOn in direct violation of the
antitrust laws.
"NOw Is the time for the De
partment Of Justice to act. l
believe that it will. But II it
don't, there is going to be .
showdown on the ISSUE"
In. 8 letter acknowledging re
cetpt Of Rtch's suggestion that a
copy of a letter sent to Stockhold
ers by the Bethlehem corporation
be obtained by the Department
Of Justice, Mr.. Cummings wrote
"PleaSe be assured that the
department viii continue to en-
force the antitrust law"
Sugar Case in High Court
The department now has one
big antitrust case awaiting de
cision in the Supreme Court. In
this case the Government won a
decree in lower Federal courts for
dissolution of the Sugar Institute,
Incorporated, composed Of vir
tually all Of the big sugar refinerS
Of the country.
While the refiners contend
their system of posting prices in
advance and their trade practices
are designed merely to assure fair
competition, the Government
charges It was scheme to sup
press competition.
The courts decision may fur
nish both business and the Gov
ernment ''yardstick" with which

tary efforts Of business to elin1i-

Drops Chicago "Hot Spot

After taking brief fling in oper-
ating "hot-spot" cafe, located on
the edge of Chicago's theatrical dis
trict, Kearns decided today to give
up the venture, because he was un-
willing to dig into his financial re-
sources to keep the place going.
When Kearns assumed charge of
the lavishly furnished cafe several
months ago he said it was deep in
the red due to lack of patronage.
Kearns Immediately built it up to a
moneymaking enterprise, but said
he was unable to overcome previous
obligations. So he decided to throw
up the sponge and devote his time
to hunting up another Jack Dempsey.

championship, rapidly is graying and

head, but he still is very alert in his
search for heavyweights.
I'm going to dig up four or five
big, tough fellows and start them out
this Fall" Kearns said. II may get
lucky and develop a real top-notcher.
I look for lot of competition among

Kearns Is not worried over the at
tempt of his light heavyweight pro-
tege. Hank Bath of Fort Morgan,
Colo, to break his contract. The
Colorado youngster desires to let a
relative handle his ring affairs.
Kearns, however, considers his con-
tract, which Is for seven years,

Sharkey's best chance, it appears,

1t will be interesting to watch
whether he has had the courage to
forget the crushing defeat dealt him
by Schmeling and profit by his dismal
experience.
7 OUIS' present plight may be COM
pared to the parallel case of Stan
ley Ketchel in 1908. Ketchel had COM
piled q string of sensational knock
outs and won the world middleweight
championship. He was hailed as the
greatest little man ever to lace on a
boxing glove.
Billy Papke, who didn't figure to
extend the 21-year-old fistic wonder,
was matched with Ketchel. Stanley
rushed across the ring with the bell
in the first round, intent on scoring
quick knockout. Papke merely
slammed Ketchel with an overland
right as he came in. Ketchel dropped
and got up only to be beaten to q
pulp.
They were matched again and
Ketchel gave Papke one of the most
severe shellackings of his life, finally
chilling Billy in the eleventh round
to regain the title.
Will Louis display the same
courage? Can he, after bitter
disappointment, fight his way
back toward the top? The an
swer Is In Joe's heart.
Louis has the physical equipment
to scale the heights. BY Schmeling's
admission, he has the most beautiful
left jab in the beak-busting business.
Max claims Joe hit him harder than
he ever had been clipped before, and
the German has faced some potent
punchers.
r HOPE Sharkey decides to make a
real battle of 1t. If he does, you
will have the answer to Louis fistic
future.
Louis absorbed a terrific lacing from
Schmeling before he dropped. I think
he is as game as Jack Dempsey at
Philadelphia, when with both eyes
