FAVORING FARM AND LABOR "TRUSTS." Even though President Wilson has apparently done just what it was ex pected he would do in signing the sun dry civil appropriations bill, which Mr. Taft vetoed because of an exemption clause affecting the farming and labor interests, yet it was what many edi torial onlookers, up to the last mo . ment, were hoping he would not do. . remarks the Literary Digest and then it reviews the matter and gives presr. comment as follows: . The new law provides, the press re- : port, for an appropriation of $300,000 to be expended in trust prosecutions by the department , of justice in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, but contains this proviso: "That no part of this money shall be spent in ' ' 'locution of any or ganization ". ... . for entering into any c .ttv.ation iA,wt having ir V-iy ,'!! iBCJ,V'-'i.s , warden, sb ' ' rf i.

I do not un derstand that the limitation was in tended either as an amendment or in-terpretation-of the anti-trust law, but merely as an expression of the opin ion or : congress-a very empnauc opinion, backed by an overwhelming majority of the house of representa tives and a large majority. of the sen ate, but not intended to touch anything but the expenditure of a single small additional fund. "I can assure the country that this item will neither limit nor in any way embarrass the actions of the depart ment of justice. ; Other appropriations supply the department with abundant funds to enforce the law. The law will be interpreted, in the determina te "free and unmolested manner" in wh'ch the labor trust violates the Sheraan law, exclaiming that he par es upon this act of congress with "hor ified Amazement." ; V ( THEIR OBLIGATION TO THE PUB LIC. 1 I unparalleled SaielPrices During fH Tearing Down and Rebuilding of the Store Building -. ....... ......

It is suggested also by these writers that before the presentation of the bill to the house, President Wilson had disclosed no objection to the ex emption clause, but that later, when he sought t ohave this clause eliminat ed, he found the house majority in fa vor of it too heavy, and was informed tial judgments as to the true and just meaning of substantive statutes of the United States."
