For the second time in a little over ® year the Famous PlayersLasky Corporation yesterday was trough within the trajectory of Foderal scru- tiny when the Vitagraph Company of America, In¢., alleging restramt cf trade, filed suit in the United States District Court here for $6,000.000.

The complaint filed yesterday by the Vitagraph ‘concern, which, incl- dentally, is the oldest motion picture company in the world, sets forth that there are about thirty-eight key centres in the country, in each of hich there are now “‘first run” the- atres, and alleges that the value of the exhibition in the “first run” theatres represents at least 50 per cent. of the American-Canadinn gross receipts of any picture exhibited in such the- stres and in other theatres of the United States and Canata At the office of Will H.

FURTHER RECOVERY IN STOCK PRICES: Professional Bears Hammer Common Close to 9—First Preferred Down 3 Points. There was a further recovery in stock prices today with many in- dustrial specialties and oils show: {og gains of from 1 to more than 3 points, It was evident that the brisk rally scored yesterday had partially restored confidence of the public, for outside purchases were larger than for any time in the last fortnight or more, In an endeavor t) hold the gains they have recently been able to pile up, professional bears launched a new attack on the Erie shares to the ac- companient of ugly rumors regarding the road’s position, The common stock got down close to 9 and the first preferred fell three points. President Underwood of the Erie recently let it become known that the company’s obligations have been pro- vided for up to and including the first of the year, and holders of other ° all- road stocks refused to become per- turbed over Erie's weakness. What supported the position of the railroad list to-day was the character arnings statements ing, the statements, striking an aver- age, were better than had been ex- pected a week ago. Reports that the United States Steel Corporation is buying its own stock in open market for the purpose og taking care of stock subscriptions of employees failed to create in- creased interest in those shares. As a matter of fact Steel fluctuated within a range of three-quarters of a point and ‘independent steel shares were lifeless. The oll list followed the lead of the Standard Oil shares in the outaide market. There was active bidding for these shares throughout the day and gains extended to as much as eight points.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—In sym- pathy with a movement initiated by the American Bar Association, the Senate is moving toward submission of @ proposed constitutional amend- ment to make the verdict of the people at the polls effective in Congress as soon as possible after election. At present a new Congress, unless called in extra session, waits a year before beginning to function, and a National Administration retains power four months after an election. Dealing directly with a resolution introduced several months ago by Senator Ashurst (Dem., Aris.), a sub- committee of the Senate Judiciary headed by Senator Cum- mins (Rep?, Ia.), will begin heurings on the subject Dec, 6, The movement has been accelerated by the resolution introduced by Sena tor Caraway (Dem., Ark.) a few days ago demanding that Senators detcated in the recent elections refrain from voting during the remainder of their terms. At request of Senator Caraway, this resolution was referred to the Com- mittee on Agriculture, of which he is a member. The committee turned down the Caraway resolution, but adopted one sympathizing with any plan to amend the Constitution for the prompt installation of Sena- tors and Representatives elected in the biennjal elections. Support of the proposed amendment by the American Bar Association and approval by Senator Cummin« strengthen hope of favorable action b. the Senate soon, - Senator Norris (Rep.. Neb.) was Instructed by the Committee om Agri- culture to draw and present to the Senate the committee’s favorable res- olution. “I am heartily in favor of this change,” Senator Cummins aid. “Under the present constitution- al provision it !s not possible to abridge the constitutional terms of tia office of the President or of members of Congress by legislative action. A constitutional amendment will be mev- essary. if the change should go Into effect it would shorten the term of office of the President in the White House by at least two months and possibly more. It would shorten the terms of Senators and House members accord- ingly. This can be done only by changing the organic law. “Under our present system a Con- gress elected last November, unless called into special session, would not convene for a little more than a year. The voters have right to quicker response. I hope the proposed amend- ment will receive favorable consider- ation.” Senator Cummins said a committee of the American Bar Association would appear beforé the Senate Ju- diclary Committee to urge favorable action. Senator Capper (Rep., Kan.), mem- ber of the Committee on Agriculture, sald that the change would be im the direction of popular government, “It is manifestly unfair,” he said, “that a decision rendered at the polis in November cannot be translated into legislative action for a whole year.
