The Federal Trade Commission is proceeding with two of the hig anti- trust investigations which it has heen directed to undertake and will con- tinue with its inquiries until a report is made to Congress. One or two of the inquiries ordered by the Senate have been deemed “improper” by the commission and might result in a vio- lation of a resolution passed by the Senate at the last session which di rected the commission not to act and | spend public money on investigations | unless the resolution directing the in- | quiry was concurrent or unless the | inquiry was plainly one involving vio- lation of the Sherman act I Four Cases Outstanding.

In fact, the commission holds that the constitution gives evary man the | privilege of free speech and that the burden of proof of propaganda would not oniy be on the commission, but would be very difficult of proof. Furthermore, the chief economist of {the commission estimated this phase of the electric industry investigation | would cost §12,000 and the commission | does not care to spend so much money |in the face of the Senate resolution when it is not definitely ascertained that the inquiry is one invoiving vio lation of the anti-trust law. Alleged Tobacco Monepoly Up. The commission is proceeding with {the investigation of the alleged tobac- co monopoly charged against the American Tobacco Company and the Imperial Tobacco Company, but has not taken action on the Senate reso- lutions calling for an inquiry into the production, transportation and sale of flour and bread, sponsored by Senator La Follette, or the resolution of Sen |ator Shipstead calling for a report on the profitability of the co-operative farm movement. The majority of the commission held that the body should not go ahead with the bread inquiry, |according to Chairman Van Fleet, be- {cause the charges were not specific |and were too general.

Since the original organization of Commissioner Haynes' “information” bureau, it was learned today, there had been a difference of opinion as to whether such activity was appropriate for the Federal Government. In the | beginning it was much larger than recently. John Wesley Hill of Lin. coln University 7ormerly was one of the lecturers attached to the prohibi tion information staff, as was also the late Sherman A. Cuneo. Miss Hopley was the last one of the lecturers. On behalf of Commissioner Haynes it was said today that there had {been no great difference of opinion |over Miss Hopl work, and that | Mr. Haynes had finally approved her | resignation. | Friends of Miss Hopley were un- derstood to have made every effort |to have her retained in the Govern- | ment service, but to no avail | 1t was authoritatively said on be- half of Mr. Haynes that he did not | contemplate resigning as a result of {the Hopley incident. 1 v | Slim Vote for Lisbon Cabinet.
