ed That Bill Read as if Drawn Up
by Some New York Trust Lawyer.
Washington. Feb. 7. In the house
consideration of the Littlefield anti
trust bill was taken up. Several
amendments having reactionary ef
fect on the corporations were lost
Sulzer, of New York, in a 15-minute
speech in opposition, declared the bill
drawn by some New York trust law
yer. The enly object for the bill, as
far as could be seen, was to enable
the trusts to do business at the same
old stand.
He showed Littlefield the trust bus
ter from Maine in all his nakedness,
not as a trust buster, but as a trust
advocate. The bill was just seven
pounds lighter than a straw haL
After the laughing was subdued,
he continued and accused Littlefield
of taking the bill formulated by him,
stealing everything that amounted to
nothing and leaving out everything
of consequence. Littlefield replied by
ridiculing the Sulzer bill as a hyster
ical fabrication of a dreamland mind.
When the roll was called at 3:30,
the Littlefield bill was passed by a
unanimous vote of 245, in the affirma
tive. The house then adjourned.
