TERRY, Tex., Dec. 28.—M. L Lock- wood of Zelienople, Pa., president of the American Anti-Trust League, has given {out a statement in which he criticizes at length the recommendations made by President Roosevelt for a national law & govern trade combinations. Lockwood contends that there is no necessity fo any further legislation on the subject; that the rigid enforcement of the Sher- man anti-trust law would be sufficient to effectually suppress and restrain hurtful trade industrial combinations.
