Preparations were made today In the Senate to take up antitrust legislation as soon as the Panama tolls exemption repeal bill Is disposed of next week. The Interstate commerce committee voted to report out for the present a bill creating a Federal trade commis sion, and the three antitrust bills passed yesterday by the House were received by the Senate and sent to committees for consideration. There they probably will rest for several weeks at least. Chairman Newlands, of the Inter state commerce committee, said today he would report the trade commission bill to the Senate early next week and attempt to have it made the unfinished business. If he succeeds the bill will come up Immediately for discussion. Several Senators Oppose Action. Although no record vote was taken in the commerce committee today, sev eral Senators are known to have been opposed to any motion to put any sort of trust legislation before the Senate at ' this time. Senator - Brandegee, a Republican member of the committee, tonight Issued a statement saying: "In view of the widespread business depression and the apprehension which prevails in commercial and financial centers I regard- the projection, of the question concerning the further in spection and regulation of business by the Federal Government into the Con gressional arena at this time as a grave mistake. Country Needs Time to Kecover. "I think that a worried and exasper ated Congress, which has been In con tinuous' session for more than a year, should not be forced to enter upon the discussion of all these intricate and controverted questions In mid-Summer on the eve of a natioh-wlde political campaign. "I think the agitation and debate will not tend to. restore confidence to the distracted and drooping business of the country. I think the best service Congress can render is to pass the ap propriation bills and adjourn and let the country have a rest and If possible recover Its own wits."
