John Harrington, counsel for the
Illinois Manufacturers Association
made the assertion at Senate Judi
ciary Subcommittee hearings on the
bill
The witness said Illinois industry
was frightened by the bill" not be-
cause it was directed at monopoly or
specified trade practices but because
Of the bureaucratic regulation of all
business which it imposes"
He added that even if political in
fluence could be eradicated, our OBJ
jections would remain"
Under the bill, Mr. Harrington de-
clared, the regulation of the pro-
duction and distribution of commodi-
ties is placed in the hands of a Gov
eminent agency to bring about redis-
tribution Of economic wealth and
power"
The bill would require most cor
porations engaged in interstate busi-
ness and some others to obtain Fed

practice violations.

Collins to Explain Library Bill
AtMeeting' of d. c. Association
Measure You'd Create
Fire Subsidiary Unit
inU. S. Centers.

Representative Ross A. Collins,
Democrat. Of Mississippi, will tell the
District Library Association at q
meeting in the National Archives
Building tomorrow at 8 pm some of
the details of his $50,000,o0 plan to
increase the cultural potentialities of
America through establishment of five
subsidiary national libraries in stra-
tegic geographical sections from coast
to coast.
The plan, In brief, is embodied in
a bill Mr.. Collins introduced in jan
uary, 1887, which is now pending be-
fore the House Library Committee. It
contemplates erection of five regional
national Libraries at a cost Of $lO,-
100000 each in the following cities:
New York. Memphis, Chicago, Denver
and San Francisco.
Enactment Of that bill would crown
the ceaseless efforts of Mr.. Collins
since he has been a member Of Con-
gress to enrich the vast collection in
the Library Of Congress with price
less volumes and to improve the edu-
cational standards of the Nation.
To Mr.. Collins, the Library of Con-
gress is largely indebted for the ia.

tury books, as we'll as its copy on vel.

existing. He also was primarily in.
strumental in having Congress appro.
pirate funds for purchase OF the
Cars library. and frequent additions
! to the law library of Congress. The
law library. incidentally, shared in the
imperial collection which included III
volumes containing laws issued during
the reign of the last three Romanoffs
Mr.. Collins has consistently fought

for free textbooks and Federal aid to
public schools, and through his efforts
$5o,000,000 of F. E. r. A. funds were
earmarked for educational purposes
He has been a champion of the free
public library system in Washington
and in many ways has worked for its
expansion.
The foundation for Mr.. Collins in
terest in the cultural side of American
life WAS laid long before he came to
Congress-an interest that led him to
accept an appointment as a member
of the Board of Trustees Of the Mis-
stssippi State Library
Ralph Dunbar, director of national
library service Of the United States
Office of Education, and Edward
Chapman, w. P. A. library consultant,
also are scheduled to speak to the
