C. WOULD MODIFY ANTI-TRUST LAW CLAUSE Chairman Asks Change in Clayton Act Regarding R. R. Dealings ‘With Supply Companies. The Clayton anti-trust act's pro- visions against dealings between rail- roads and subsidiary supply corpora- tions with interlocking directorates | should be modified, in the opinion of e Interstate Commerce Commis- siom, Chairman Clark has advised the Senate interstate commerce Sub- committee considering supplemental legislation. “The commission has gone over the said question thoroughly and fully.” Chairman Clark, “and is of the opin- jon that the law ought to be modi- fied.” Although of the opinion that the gen- cral principle of the Clayton act sec- tion was sound and adhering to the plan_for regulation by the commission of the railroads purchases when in- terlocking _interests are involved, Chairman Clark told the committee that under present conditions the law should be changed. He suggested changes in a pending bill by Senator Frelinghuysen, republican, New Jer- sey, to modify the act. One change Commissioner Clark proposed was to raise from $50.000 to $100,000 the limit of annual purchases by a railroad from a concern in which its officers are interested. That no supplies should be pur- chased by a railroad above market prices prevalent at the place of deliv- ery was urged by Chairman Clark. He also recommended that competi- \tive bidding be required and detailed reports made to the commission. i MISS ROBERTSON A GUEST. Oklahoma Representative Speaks at Conngeticut Gathering.
