FairIess Denounces
Antitrust Laws
As 'Hodee-Podge'
sy fhs As.oesstsd Press

BOSTON, May ls.-United
States Steel President Benjamin
Fairless said today when every
businessman In America can be
found guilty of violating the law,
then there Is something wrong
with the law-and not the busi-
nessman."
Mr.. Fairless attacked what he
called the complete hodge-podge
of so-called antitrust laws" in
a speech at Boston's mid-century
jubilee.
United States Steel has figured
in a congressional investigation of
the steel industry to determine if
monopolistic practices are being
employed.
q. the minute any man sue
cessfully establishes himself in any
business nowadays" Mr.. FairlesS
declared. "he automatically be-
comes a potential jailbird."
Says Courts Write Laws.
Laws governing American busi-
ness are not written in Congress
but in the courts, he said. and the
Supreme Courts Interpretation of
the law may be vastly different"
from the original intent of Con-
gress in drafting the legislation.
If businessman and his COM
petitor quote the same price on a
product, Mr.. Fairless said. they
may be accused of collusion and
violation of the Sherman Act.
If one tries to undersell his COM
petitor by cutting his price he may
be violating the Robinson-Patman
Act, he added.
If he raises his price and his
competitors don't. he goes out of
business" he said. IF his COM
petitors do follow his lead and
raise their prices. too. he can stay
in business. but he's right back
where he started as far as the
anti-trusttlaws are concerning -.
Business needs complete re-
definition of lawful business con-
duct" Mr.. Fairless stated.
Asks Understandable Rules.
A man with the courage" to
enter business today, the United
States Steel president said, "is
entitled to look to his government
for aid-not in the form of loans,
or grants. or subsidies-but in the
form of clean-cut, understandable
rules which clearly mark the
boundaries Of good and lawful
business practice.
'The defining of those bound
aries should not be left to those
who hate business, to those who
seek personal or political power
over it, not to theorists who want
to experiment with it. 1t is not
a job for irresponsible underlings
in Federal bureaus"
Mr.. Fairless called for the "real-
istic and informed men of govern
ment to sit down with rea-
sonable and experienced men of
business and make up their col
lective minds as to what monop-
oily really is. what competition is.
what business conduct is ethical
and proper. and what business
conduct is injurious and wrong
="
Feature Of the Jubilee, which
is being staged by the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, is a meet
ing today of 81 of the nations top
industrialists. who are to receive
awards for outstanding industrial
craftsmanship"

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

Final results of the recent pri- mary in the Third Division com piled this week reveal the follow ing won nomination for the house:
 Democrats Stanley MeCutcheon, William Egan, Wendell Kay, Jack Conright. Jack Seayenious. C. A. Pol lard and c. Chester Carlson; Re- publicans-Will H. Chase, Victor Gill, John Gorsuch. Lee Mckinley. Archie McLane, Thorwald Osbo and NJ. D. Snodgrass. There were 21 candidates on the Democratic tick ct in the Third for house nomina- tion. Red Carlson of Cordova, who was in the last session, made sev- enth place nomination by only 13 votes over J. A. MacCracken of Seward. McCutcheon ran far ahead of the field, some 500 votes ahead of Egan who was in second place.
 Tally also was completed in the Fourth this week with the follow ing results for house nominees:
 Democrats Franklin, Mrs. Essie Dale, Frank Angerman, Thom as Jones and Robert McCombe; Re publicans-Mike Stepovich, George Miseovich. Alden Wilbur, Lou Jo. and George Gasser The latter is retired commissioner of agriculture. 
 The property tax case was on Tn Fairbanks this week, being heard before Federal Judge Harry Pratt. The action was brought by former Senator Luther c. Hess of Fair banks against the tax department, all grounds the law, which was passed by the last legislature and would levy 1 per cent on the full value of property, is diserimina- tory. Attorney General J. Gerald Williams and his assistant John Di- mond were representing the terri tory. Assessors from the various H. visions, headed by Fred c. HanfOrd of Wrangell, chairrnan-at-large for the boards of taxation and equali- zat jon, were present as witnesses. Regardless of who wins. the case probably will go to the circuit court in San Francisco on appeal Such an action usually takes con- siderable time with the result that the property tax likely will wind up in the lap of the legislature which convenes next January.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening was back fin the territory after a couple of months down in Washington He reported Alaskans presented a strong case for statehood and he was hopeful favorable action might be taken at this session of con- gress.

there. That set Of three windows I'm

sore thumb. How could we manage
a big window to replace this set?
We needed storm windows, but
knew that If we bought one of those
double-pane windows with an air
space between storms wouldn't be
necessary.
We needed the windows for a ten
ant house we were remodeling and
could use the venetian blinds in my
own bedroom upstairs. So it was de-
cided that the big double-paned pic
ture window wouldn't be as expen-
sive as we first thought. Now it is
installed and we have long, un-

The Singing of Birds

The winter is over and gone at last.
The days of snow and cold are past,
Over the fields the flowers appear,
1t is the Spirits voice we hear,
The singing of birds, a warbling
band,
The voice of truth is heard in our
land.
And Christ is the song of everything,
For Death is winter, and Christ is
Spring.

words,
Harkl how they echo the song of
