says the organ of the chamber, "The
Nation's Business," "has appealed
tnorn to business forces. It adds:
"Th interest In the subject is In

Interstate trade commission bill In
the house has been followed by tha

0 The special committee of the na

out another referendum on the prin
ciples of legislation in both bills.
Conns of legislation.
Reviewing the history of this legis
lation to date, the fact is shown that
the house hill, after revision and study,
has finally lakuti the form of H. R.
16,615, introduced by Representative
Covington of Maryland, and known as
the interstate trade commission bill;
that four different bills have been con
solidated Into H. R. 16,657. known aa
tha Clayton omnibus bill, "to supple
ment existing laws against unlawful
restraints and monopolies, and for
other purposes"; and that in the senate
all legislation proposed under this head
is embodied in the Newiands bill, an
omnibus measure known as S. B. 4160.
A careful analysis of the bills has
been made ly the Nation's Business.
Th Clayton bill covers so much
ground that Intelligent discussion of It
Is not possible In a limited space. It
deals with discrimination in prices, ex
clusive contracts, exemption of labor
unions frorn the operution of the law.

and various other subjects.
