A Puzzling Question The Searching Power of a Great Remedy Answers the Worst Riddle. Washington. D. C. April 15 A re vised administration trust bill, partly complying with the demand of organ ised labor that it be exempted from prosecution under the Sherman law. was introduced in the house today by Representative Clayton, chairman of the judiciary committee. n.nrespntatlve P. Covington of Maryland presented a report on behalf of the interstate commerce commis .inn nrvin? tha nassage of a bill cre ating a trade commission, which shall preserve competitive conditions, but not regulate monopoly or control prices. The new Clayton trust measure has been approved by Presideut Wilson, and preparations will be made at once to pass it in the house. Consideration of the new bill will be begun by the judiciary committee on Thursday. The ledaers say that a report win De maae to the house within the next few days. Labor Provision Main Feature. The outstanding feature of the anti trust progra-n is found in the provis ion dealing with labor. In the Llayton bill President Wilson gives formal no tice that he is opposed to exempting organised labor and voluntary associ ations of farmers from prosecution un der the anti-trust laws. Section 5 of the Clayton bill gives a legal statu to union labor as at pres ent organized, but does not exempt it from prosecution for acts that are de clared bv the anti-trust laws to be Il legal. As a further concession to la bor Chairman Clayton embodied in the bill provisions limiting the power of the federal courts in issuing injunc tions and providing jury trials in cases of indirect contempt." The Clayton bill provides that labor unions as well as other "mutual" or ganizations "not having capital stock or conducted for profit" shall not be restrained "from carrying out the le gitimate objects of such associations." This does not et-top prosecutions of la bor unions If they commit acts that are held by the bill to be illegal. "Personal Guilt" Standard Held. Throughout the bill offered today the principle of "personal guilt" is ap plied to all offences that arc held to be unlawful. In the revised program Chairman Clayton has softened the provisions prohibiting interlocking di lectoratcs and holding companies. The tentative "holding company" bill was criticised on the ground that it placed obstacles in the way of ex tensions that business men said in no wise menaced the public welfare. The fubstltute provisions proposed in this regard are aimed only at what are known as "bad" holding companies. Section 7 prohibits a corporation from acquiring control over a competi tor where such acquisition might tend to the creation of a monopoly in any line of business. The prohibition does not apply to corporations purchasing stock solely for investment purposes. Violation of the holding company prohibition is made punishable by a fine of not exceeding $5,000, or impris onment for one year, or both.
