WASHINGTON . June 31. The new dealers have been doing considerable talking out loud lately about enforc- i n g antl - trust laws. The Jus tice department has announced It Is going to en. force them strongly, now that the NRA is done. Tou may have been In duced to suspect that the wrath of the federal prose cutor Is aroused. There is no need for any PAIL MALLON business man or trust-busting sena tor to wait around for this particu lar wrath to descend, The Inside on that situation was aptly described by a certain sub cabinet officer, who recently said qff-the-record : "If the government were to en force the anti-trust laws In the rigid . -way they have been Interpreted by court, it would coat 100.000.000 a year and play havoc with about half erf American business." Tou may bet your last dollar that a, mild a-nd moderate policy will be pursued. The only anti-trust changes to be expected In the next few months are those directly involving court docrres and codes. An example is the old 1020 court decree against the American Column nd Lumber Co.. restraining It from any action to maintain or raise prices. That decree was modified officially when the NRA lumber codes permit ted price fixing. Now that the NRA Is gone, the decree will again be op erative. There are not many companies in this situation. The government also may be ex pected to proceed against some large trust violators, as it has in the p.ist. 6uch prosecutions show the heart of the prosecutor Is In the rrght place. In fact, the new dealers even now can point to record showing 25 anti trust law prosecutions in the first two years and two months of Its ad ministration (under NRA) as com pared with. 26 In the four years of the Hoover administration. But as for the now general sus picion that the new dealers will em bark on a trust-busting campaign. It Is out of the picture, and neither Attorney-Oeneral Cummings nor the new deal is the trust-busting type (the utility bill to the contrary not withstanding). The time Is not ripe for such things. Most business men you talk to these days seem to have an inde cribAble Inner feeling that things j better, that continued Improve ment Is inevitable, there are no sta tistics to prove It. In fact, the tandard business barometers (steel, autos) are continuing, to fall under the seasonal summer heat. But It has become suddenly popu lar for the first time In years to take an optimistic view of recovery. It Is no longer popular to be a pessimist. Tou will get the best example from the stock market.

TO ROGUE VALLEY SEENJHIS YEAR Transcontinental Rate of $1.43 Per Hundred to Re place $1.55 Tariff 36, 000 Lb. Minimum Carload At the meeting of the Rogue River Valley Traffic association held yes terday, an announcement was made which Is of considerable Importance to the fruit Interests of this valley. A number of. prominent officials of the railroads were present at the meeting when It was announced that a transcontinental rate on pears of 91.43 per hundred pounds, based on a 36.000-pound minimum, has been proposed, and approved by the eastern lines. The present rate la 91.55 with ft 26.000 pound minimum. Steps are now being taken looking to the publication of this rate, and It is believed certain to become ef fective, if It meets with the ap proval of the Interstate commerce commission. As proposed, however. It will be a' temporary rate, with ex piration date set at December 81. 1935. It Is the hope of sll those Interested in securing lower trans portation chargps on fruit from this district that the temporary nature of the rate, when once established, will be changed, and that the ex piration date will be extended.
