SAYS BUSINESS APPROVES President Declares He Finds Little Opposition to Legislative Program ef the Administration—Trade Com- mission Billi Misunderstood, He ' Asserts. ‘Washington, Feb. 17.—June 15 is thé date the Democratic leaders hope to adjourn congress. President Wil- son believes the senate and house “may work at the same time on the Arust bills. He told callers business men now ; were showing a greater interest in the new legislation and that in many ases it was a very helpful interest. * That interest, however, is not so active as he had expected and he at- tributes that to the fact that business men have discounted the character of legislation and that the measures in a feneral way meet their approval. The president, incidentally, remark- ed that many objections to the pub- licity features of the trade commis- sion bill were based on a misconcep- tion of what the bureau of corpora- tions already could do by present statutes. The president sees little difference in the interstate trade commission and the present bureau of corpora- tions, which will be merely enlarged by the forthcoming legislation. It already had broad powers of inquisi- tion. ..Flowers.. / order Plants and Cut Flowers at & + Miller's: Ives Brick Ice Cream on hand all the time at Miller's: Confectionery PRESIDENT DOUBTS TRUTH OF REPORTS Will Investigate New York City’s Unemployed. Washington, Feb. 17.—Federal in- vestigation of the unemployed prob- lem by the industrial relations com- mission will be a speedy one and will cover all the large Eastern cities from New York to Kansas City.

Borden Harriman, the resi- dent commissioner, issued a state- ment pointing out that this was the time of year at which unemployment usually becomes acute and the presi- dent told his callers he had no re- ports of widespread business depres- sion, but to the contrary had reports that conditions throughout the coun- try were rapidly growing more en- couraging. “Any one who fails to realize that conditions are about the same in the labor market now as they are at this season each year,” Miss Harriman said, “is either ignorant of conditions or is insincere.” DIES AS HE FACES ARREST County Treasurer While Warrant Waits.
