Republicans Assert Anti-Trust Meas

President Ignorant of Its Sinister
Results and That Administration
Has Surrendered to Wall Street.
WASHINGTON, Oct. '.'.Senator
Norris, republican, led the attack on
the Clayton trust hill conference re
port in the senate today, reiterating
Hint the conference managers had
"pulled the teeth of the hill" and
made it a "Sunday vcliool statute."
Senator Claop, republican, declar
ed the report was an "absolute step
backward." He ouoted from Presi
dent Wilson's pre-election speeelitfs
to -.how that the president was oppos
ed to theorv of trust regulation hy
governmental commissions, vvhivh, he
said, was the theory on which the
administration's anti-trust prog tain
-was framed.
"Since tiiis conference report came
in," said lie, "I am convinced it is
part and nnrccl of u general policy
of which the president may be itr
norunt: of which the conferees may
be tguonpit which will nut the gov
ernment back into the hand of big
business. Itut I don't believe Hint the
president or the conferees have con
sciously surrendered to big business.
I believe that the president i, ns u
former president was once described,
tin amiable veutlcmau surrounded bv
men who kuon- what they, wont atn
how to get it' Senator Clapp said.
He added that the president wns
too enerosscd with other problems of
international import to give proper
consideration to the Clayton bill.
Senator Hristiiw replied, saying:
"1 am convinced that tho president
has surrendered his administration to
the most sinister influences in this re
public. There has been no adminis
tration vincc Hie beginning of this
